Live and act

Giraudeau went to sea for seven years and then worked in Parisian market halls, for the car company Simca and in an advertising agency. In 1970, at the age of 22, he started at the Tournee-Theater Théâtre des Alpes in Grenoble and at the age of 24 he began his acting studies in Paris from 1971 to 1974 at the Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique . He played in the plays The Prince of Homburg and Dangerous Liaisons , among others .

He made his television debut in 1971 in the play Misére et Noblesse in the Au théâtre ce soir series , followed by the role of Georges Fortier in La porteuse de pain . His career as a film actor began in 1972 as the son of Jean Gabin and brother of Cécile Vassort in Scaffold terminus . He took on increasingly larger roles such as the young inspector Mareuil alongside Alain Delon in The Gypsy (1975). Due to his erotic appearance, Bernard Giraudeau was often cast in erotic films in which he acted naked and became a sex symbol of the 1970s: as Lucas next to Patti D'Arbanville and Gilles Kohler without a shell in David Hamilton's soft porno Bilitis , as a virile lover Isidore in Moi, fleur bleue , who ran under the titles Fetzig-frei and finally high , love awakening and an hour of tenderness in Germany and as a tender lover Luc in Et la tendresse? ... Bordel! (Damn it, where's the tenderness?). In 1980 he played the young teacher Eric Lehman, located in La Boum - The party in Sophie Marceau film mother Brigitte Fossey in love. His big breakthrough came in 1981 with the television series Under the Tricolor and Jean-Charles Tachhella's love triangle Zeit der Sehnsucht with Brigitte Fossey and Carole Laure . His greatest successes in the 80s are to be escapees in specialists to be adventurers and daredevils in the battering ram , the gay professional killer Pascal Le grand pardon (The Super Boss) and especially his Romain, the object of sexual desires of Caroline Cellier and starlet Valérie Kaprisky in a devilish embrace . It was through this film that Bernard Giraudeau finally became a star. One of his most beautiful roles shows him again as a lover: in 2000 he played the homosexual Léopold in his fifties in François Ozone's Fassbinder film " Drops on Hot Stones" , the center of a love quartet. Occasionally he also worked as a director and screenwriter.

He died on July 17, 2010 in a Paris hospital of complications from cancer .
