Meet Olivier Martinez: Halle's #1 Frenchman

NEED TO KNOW
  • Halle Berry's new love Olivier Martinez: Actor, Frenchman
  • Has starred with Diane Lane, dated Kylie Minogue

It must take quite a man to make Halle Berry reportedly renege on her vow to never wed again. But who is this Olivier Martinez fellow she must be so crazy about?

Obviously, he’s an actor. And obviously, he’s French. And while being any French actor probably gives you a fair advantage in the Sexy Olympics, Martinez has worked on some pretty popular films.

He starred in "Unfaithful" with Diane Lane in 2002 (which may be reason enough to be interested in him, so if that’s your reason, Halle, we totally understand). He also appeared in 2007’s "Blood and Chocolate" which, unfortunately, was a box office bomb.

The couple, who according to People magazine is engaged, met while filming "Dark Tide" in 2010, and before his relationship with Berry, Martinez had dated pop star Kylie Minogue.

So whether it’s his penchant for playing sexy bad guys, his French accent, or the way that (in his longer hair days) he was a dead-ringer for Sawyer from "LOST," Olivier seems like a catch. Nice going, Halle!
