Thomas Langmann (born 24 May 1971) is a French film producer and actor, known for producing The Artist (2011), for which he received an Academy Award for Best Picture as producer in 2012.

Career

The son of director-producer Claude Berri, Langmann began his career as an actor. He first appeared as a child in the film Je vous aime, directed by his father. As a teenager, he earned Cesar Award nominations for Most Promising Newcomer for *Les années sandwiches * in 1988 and Paris Awakens in 1991, as well as a nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 1993 for Le nombril du monde. In 1995, he created his producing company La Petite Reine: he gradually stopped acting to concentrate on film producing.

Thomas Langmann convinced his father to produce the first live action Asterix film, Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar. The film, released in 1999, was a box-office success. In 2002, Langmann, still in association with his father, co-produced the second film, Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, which became one of the most commercially successful French films ever. In 2008, he produced the third film of the series, Asterix at the Olympic Games, then the most expensive French film ever made, which he also co-directed. Also in 2008, he produced the two-part crime biopic Mesrine.

In 2011, Langmann produced the black and white, silent film The Artist with director Michel Hazanavicius. He was unable to attract investors to the risky project and self-financed the film. He won the Academy Award for the film at the 2012 Oscars and won the Producers Guild of America Award for Best Theatrical Motion Picture. He was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in June 2012 along with 175 other individuals.

Personal life

Langmann was born in Paris, France, the son of Anne-Marie Rassam and film director Claude Berri. His uncle was the late producer Jean-Pierre Rassam and his brother was the late French actor Julien Rassam. Both his mother and his brother committed suicide, in 1997 and 2002, respectively, while his father died of a stroke in 2009. He has a younger half-brother from his father's later relationship, Darius Langmann. His father Claude Berri was Jewish, and his mother Anne-Marie Rassam, who was born in Lebanon, was Syrian Christian.

During the filming of Asterix at the Olympic Games, Langmann was arrested for employing prostitutes and purchasing narcotics.

In 2008, Langmann was sentenced to four months in prison for assaulting his long-term girlfriend Frédérique, with whom he had a daughter in 2002. Langmann married French journalist Céline Bosquet on 21 June 2013.

During the years that followed his father's death, Langmann became involved in a legal dispute with his father's last partner Nathalie Rheims, his father's second wife Sylvie Gautrelet, and his half-brother Darius (Gautrelet's son) whom he all accused of misappropriating the family assets. In July 2015, Langmann filed a complaint against Darius, citing theft of works of art from their father's collection. In March 2025, Darius, Rheims, Gautrelet and several other people were indicted for conspiracy to commit theft and tax evasion.
