Cris Campion

Cris Campion (born 1 September 1966) is a French film and television actor, previously known as Thierry Campion.

Born in Versailles,[1] Campion's first leading role came in Roman Polanski’s Pirates (1986).[2] The next year, he was nominated for a César Award for Most Promising Actor for Field of Honor. In Charlemagne, le prince à cheval (1993), he played Pepin the Hunchback.[3]

Campion married Anny Duperey in 1993, two years after she had left Bernard Giraudeau, but they separated after some ten years.[4] Duperey has called Giraudeau “the man of my life” and Campion “the love of my life”.[5]
