Jean-Paul Rouve (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃pɔl ʁuv(ə)]; born 26 January 1967) is a French actor, screenwriter, film producer and director. He is a founding member of the Les Robins des Bois comedy troupe, active from 1996 onwards.[1][2]

He has appeared in over 70 film and television productions since 1993, having held roles in comedy films such as Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002), RRRrrrr!!! (2004), Those Happy Days (2006) and Les Tuche (2011).

Personal life

A native of Dunkirk, Rouve graduated from the Cours Florent drama school in Paris, where he studied theatre in the class of Isabelle Nanty (with whom he would later star in several productions),[3] alongside Pierre-François Martin-Laval, Marina Foïs, Maurice Barthélemy, Pascal Vincent and Élise Larnicol. Together, the six would form The Royal Imperial Green Rabbit Company troupe, which would soon become Les Robins des Bois.

Rouve lived several years with the novelist Bénédicte Martin; the couple had a son.[4]
