She began her career as a model in Paris and became famous as the beautiful Helena through the film “Troy”. With Fatik Akin, Diane Kruger took the next level of success in 2017. She is now 45.
Diane Kruger has just attended the Cannes Film Festival – and is something to talk about. Not because of her acting performance in a new film, but because of her dress. She wore an Armani Privé halter neck on the red carpet and looked deep.
For the actress, after the forced Corona break, things are slowly starting to work again. The film database Imdb.com announces at least – albeit without dates – no less than half a dozen new film projects with Diane Kruger.
She was still largely unknown and was at the beginning of her career when director Wolfgang Petersen (80) gave her the role of beautiful Helena in his historical epic “Troy” in 2004, alongside Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom. The studio really wanted to cast a star, but Petersen was looking for a new, “innocent” face, he recently said in a dpa interview. He then discovered Diane Kruger among thousands of casting videos. Today she turns 45.
The American cult filmmaker Quentin Tarantino also took a liking to the blonde beauty from Germany and cast her in “Inglourious Basterds” (2009). That finally brought her the breakthrough.
Diane Kruger was born as Diane Heidkrüger in Algermissen, Lower Saxony, in 1976, began as a model in Paris and finally gained a foothold in the USA as an actress. She was able to celebrate her greatest success so far in 2017. Fatih Akin gave her the lead role in the NSU drama “Out of Nowhere”. Kruger embodies a woman who wants to avenge the deaths of her husband and young son after a bomb attack. A true tour de force: it exhausts itself emotionally and physically; screams, cries and fights. At the international film festival in Cannes she was honored as best actress.
Diane Kruger knows how to portray complicated characters. She has long been one of the international stars in the film business – and is happily carrying on.
