A few days before celebrating his 57th birthday, Vincent Cassel has a life that couldn’t be busier, both on the sentimental point and on the professional point. The one that we will find next December in the second opus of Three Musketeers alongside Pio Marmaï, Romain Duris, François Civil and Eva Green, has just signed a brand new contract, far from the film industry in which he has been working for almost forty years. Indeed, this Thursday, November 2, 2023, the arrival of Vincent Cassel in the casting of eighth installment of the video game franchise Tekken was made official by publisher Bandai Namco in a press release. The fifty-year-old will lend his voice as well as his features to a brand new character in the franchise, called Victor Chevalier.
In a video posted on YouTube, Tekken 8, scheduled for release at the end of January 2024 in France and around the world, reveals the features of this brand new character, and the resemblance to Vincent Cassel, although not obvious, is nevertheless likely: the character sports graying hair and a beard, like his muse, and wears a gray three-piece suit and glasses, inevitably recalling the many looks that the French actor has adopted during his career. A new challenge that Vincent Cassel adopts with joy since he is an early fan of this video gameas he confided in the publisher’s press release: “I discovered Tekken in the 90s and really got into it when Eddy Gordo was introduced”.
He left Tina for Narah
Vincent Cassel, passionate about capoeira, is proud of the character that the franchise designed in his honor, and to which he will give his voice: “He is very sophisticated and promotes, through his way of being and dressing, a certain idea of French elegance”. The actor, who recently split from Tina Kunakey to whom he was married for five years and whose union saw the birth of a daughter named Amazonie, has been in a relationship with another woman for several weeks, aged 27. Indeed, according to our colleagues at Here, the actor, who will be seen at the cinema in 2024 in the film The Shrouds alongside Diane Kruger, would now be in a relationship with Narah, a young woman who would have participated a few years ago at the Miss Universe competition for Australia. The information has not been made official by those involved.
