Jean-Pierre Léaud (born May 5, 1944) is a French actor.
Léaud was born in Paris, France. He made his debut as an actor when he was 15 as Antoine Doinel, an alter ego for French film director François Truffaut, in The 400 Blows.
Léaud starred in four more Truffaut films depicting the life of Doinel, spanning a period of 20 years – beside actress Claude Jade as his girlfriend, and then wife, Christine. Those films are: Antoine and Colette (1962), Stolen Kisses (1968), Bed & Board (1970) and Love on the Run (1979).
Léaud also acted in films by other influential directors, such as Jean-Luc Godard, Bernardo Bertolucci and more recently Olivier Assayas.
