Dimitri Rassam (born 16 November 1981) is a French film producer and a member of the Monegasque princely family through marriage.

Background and education

Rassam is the son of actress Carole Bouquet and film producer Jean-Pierre Rassam. He has one half-brother, Louis, born in 1987 to his mother's relationship with the photographer Francis Giacobetti.[1] Rassam was four years old when his father died from a drug overdose.[1][2]

Rassam finished secondary school at École Active Bilingue with a Bac scientifique,[3] then prepped at Sciences Po.[3] He began work on a business degree at HEC Paris,[4] but changed course to earn a degree in history (from the Sorbonne)[3] instead.

Career

At the age of 23, Rassam founded the production company "Chapter 2".[5] His first credit as producer was the film Judas, directed by Nicolas Bury and Jérôme Fansten in 2006.[6][7] In 2014, "Chapter 2" merged with Alexis Vonarb's Onyx Films and Aton Soumache's Method Animation to form "ON Entertainment".[8][9][10] Method Animation is the parent company, with Soumache as CEO and Mediawan, which founded by Xavier Niel, Matthieu Pigasse, and Pierre-Antoine Capton as ultimate owner since 2018.[11]

Rassam has worked with various directors of animation films, including Mark Osborne, director of Kung Fu Panda and The Little Prince.[12]

Filmography

Rassam is credited as producer of the following films:

Personal life

He married Masha Novoselova in 2010.[2] His daughter, Darya, was born in 2011. At the end of 2016, he separated from Novoselova[17] and, reportedly, began to date Charlotte Casiraghi,[18] the daughter of Caroline, Princess of Hanover, and niece of Albert II, Prince of Monaco. In March 2018 Rassam and Casiraghi were reported to be engaged, with plans to marry in the summer;[19] however, that did not happen. Their son, Balthazar, was born on 23 October 2018.[20] On 7 April 2019, Paris Match ran the headline (in French) "Charlotte et Dimitri: Mariage en Juin", combining a report on Monaco's Rose Ball, where Rassam's mother, Carole Bouquet, was guest of honor, placed in the seating beside Prince Albert II, with the news that the couple were planning a summer wedding.[21] The same report revealed that Rassam divides residency between Paris and Los Angeles.[21] Rassam and Casiraghi were wed at the Prince's Palace of Monaco on 1 June 2019.[22]

On 29 June 2019 they married religiously at Sainte-Marie de Pierredon Abbey, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
