Christian Clavier: the beginning of the road
The actor was born in Paris, it happened in May 1952. Christian Clavier was born in a family of bank employees; there were no artists among his relatives. At school, the boy studied well, but never was in the ranks of nerds. His hobbies were constantly changing, like most children.
Clavier decided to continue his education at the prestigious Lyceum of Louis Pasteur. Even in his student days, Christian “fell ill” with politics, was imbued with communist ideas. The young man was seriously thinking about the profession of a political scientist, about to enter the Paris Institute of Politics. However, fate decreed otherwise.
First successes
In his student years, Christian Clavier not only gnawed at the granite of science, but also made useful contacts. Once friends decided to stage their own performance, the comedy was called "There is no Georges." The production was a great success in the theater-cafe "Colonna", and Christian refused his desire to become a political scientist.
The young man began to study at the acting school, which worked at the Zilla Chelton Theater.
