| | Olivier Martinez Biography |
 | | Martinez's next film, The Horseman on the Roof (1995), though, earned him billing as the "French Brad Pitt." As an Italian revolutionary on the run in 19th century France, Martinez shared sizzling onscreen chemistry with co-star Juliette Binoche and got his first taste of tabloid attention when the two became an offscreen item as well. |
 | | Martinez hit the international art-house circuit again as a man who concocts an imaginary affair with the title character in Bigas Luna's The Chambermaid on the Titanic (1997), but his next European films, The Slammer (1999), The City of Marvels (1999), and Toreros (2000), did not have as much exposure. |
 | | Though the part was originally written for an American, Lyne deemed Martinez a believable lust object for someone married to Richard Gere, altered the nationality, and Martinez became bored housewife Diane Lane's fatal attraction in Unfaithful. |
