Diane Kruger | German, English, French

Diane Heidkrüger was born in Algermissen, West Germany, on July 15, 1976. Growing up, she entered a Catholic school and participated in exchange programs to hone her English communication skills. This time, she also wanted to be a ballet dancer and even auditioned for London’s Royal Ballet School. Sadly, this dream of hers fell apart after an unexpected knee injury. Subsequently, she pursued a fashion model career in the city capital of France — Paris. More importantly, the career change is when she learned how to speak French.

Kruger was an endorser of a handful of brands like Calvin Klein, L’Oreal, and the Swiss watch brand, Jaeger-LeCoultre. As an actress, she has acting credits in various films like Troy, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, and Inglorious Bastards. She started dating actor Norman Reedus in 2016, and after two years, they welcomed their first child together.
