When he was 17 years old, he suffered a terrible accident while driving, taking him away from his great passion for water for a long time. It took him decades to fully heal before he could return to diving.
During his adolescence and much of his childhood he displayed impressive creativity, as he spent the entire day inventing stories of heroes and villains. The vast majority of this inspiration would come from boredom.

Upon his return he founded “Les Films du Loup“, Which shortly after was renamed”Les Films du Dauphin”. Toward 1980 began to gather resources and already in 1983 released his first feature film “Le Demier Combat”(The last fight).
Its success was relatively good, for a stranger in the world of cinema, so it surprised everyone with its premiere of 1985: “Subway”. After this a new project took the name of “Le Grand Bleu” in 1988.
Around this time he married the actress Anne Parillaud, whom he later decided to include in his first great international success “La Femme Nikita”, Premiered in 1990.

Two years later they divorced after finishing filming “The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc”. In the same, Mila Jovovich had the lead role, sharing the scene with Dustin Hoffman Y John malkovich,
After this period, Besson stopped directing films and began to produce them, always contributing great ideas from his place in sagas such as “Cab“,”The Transporter”And some films by Jet Li.
