Life and career [edit]
Schoenaerts was born in Antwerp, Belgium. At the age of 15, Schoenaerts made his film debut in the Oscar-nominated Daens. After finishing the academy of dramatic arts in Antwerp, he featured in several other movies, notably in 2008 when he played the role of Filip in Erik Van Looy's Loft, which became the most successful Flemish film at the Belgian box-office earning over $7,075,161.[2][3]
In 2011, he starred in Bullhead directed by Michaël R. Roskam, which was a nominee for the best foreign-language Oscar. His performance in the film was well received and won him the FIPRESCI Award for best actor at Palm Springs International Film Festival in January 2012. The jury praised the actor’s "superb portrayal of an innocent and sensitive man trapped in a truculent body."[4][5] He also won the Magritte Award for Best Actor. He currently stars in Jacques Audiard's Rust and Bone (De rouille et d'os) alongside Marion Cotillard.[6][7] The film premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. Schoenaerts also starred in the Belgian short film Dood van een Schaduw of director Tom Van Avermaet. On 10 January 2013, the short film was nominated for the 2012 Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film.[8][9]
He will reprise his role as Filip in a remake of Loft, The Loft, which will be again directed by Erik Van Looy.[3] He will also star in Wasteland, a film by director Pieter Van Hees, whose shooting is expected to start in the early autumn 2012.[10] He will play alongside Clive Owen, Mila Kunis and again Marion Cotillard in Blood Ties of French director Guillaume Canet set for a 2013 release.[11][12]
On 22 February 2013, Matthias won the César Award for Most Promising Actor for his role in Rust and Bone.[13][14][15][16]
