The hardships of growing up

The hero of our article has no relationship with his no less famous namesake, the driver of the "Formula-1". For his creative work, Mark has become one of the most popular stars in the "dream factory". Every year, one or two films with his participation are available for hire. Mark Webber (photo attached) has developed his talent in other directions, related to acting, he acted as a director, scriptwriter and producer. However, such successes were preceded by a long way of conquering Hollywood peaks.

Mark was born in 1980. In Minnesota, he lived about ten years. Unfortunately, he knows little about his father, as the boy's childhood passed without his participation. Upon learning of the pregnancy of the spouse, he hurried to escape. Mark was brought up by a single mother, who not only tried to invest in her son all the best, but also worked tirelessly to provide it with the most necessary.

The difficult time of his childhood was often recalled by Webber himself. Mark admitted in an interview that he and his mother had to spend the night in abandoned buildings, unfit for habitation, or for months to actually live in cars. Especially hard were given winter times, when it was not easy to get warm. Webber's mother was fond of activities aimed at helping the homeless, because she knew firsthand what it is. Later, she connected her son. Fortunately, experiencing constant difficulties, the future screen star was not embittered. The deprived childhood tempered in the city of mankind, the desire to help one's neighbor. It was useful in the future profession, when Webber got rare, but still dramatic images.

First Luck

Before becoming a full-time Hollywood resident, Webber Mark graduated from high school and went to the acting studio. Director Eugene Martin shoots in Philadelphia the picture "The Border of the City" and in local schools is looking for new faces. One of these becomes Mark. And although the teenager got a minor role, this, undoubtedly, was a significant milestone in his life.

Then followed a series of passing pictures, where Webber played episodic images: "Animal Factory", "White Boys", "Drive Me Crazy", "Son of Jesus". A young actor who already knows for sure what to connect his further life, hones his skills, and also listens with pleasure to the advice of more experienced partners with whom he finds himself on the same set. The first notable role came with the adventure comedy Chris Koch "Snow Day". A year later came an even more successful thriller "Boiler" with the participation of Ben Affleck and Vin Diesel.

Without looking back and without a break

Finally, in the life of the actor, there comes a bright band. Webber Mark feels the taste of not only the first glory, but also solid fees. She and her mother have not been forced to wander the streets for a long time. Mark's talent is paid well. Over the next few years, he is actively withdrawn in all incoming proposals, changing the criminal genre of the film "The Right People" to the dramas "Ploshchad Revolt" and "The Walls of Chelsea". In 2002 Woody Allen collects the stellar composition of his next film called "Hollywood Finale", inviting one of the roles of Mark. In the same year, Webber plays the main role in the action movie "Street artists".

Developing in all directions

To get rid of some famous director is the dream of any actor. After all, as is known, this largely determines the future success of the picture. Webber is removed from Jim Jarmusch in "Broken Flowers", and then plays in the tape "Like a Son". The film is especially discussed in the press and is included in the program of the festival in Philadelphia. For this work, Mark is awarded several prizes and nominations.

Further Webber projects include "Good Life", "Handsome", "Scott Pilgrim Against All". According to critics, in the drama of 2012 "The End of Love," Mark Webber touchingly and piercingly embodies the image of his father, who alone brings up his newly born son. In addition to the main role, Mark wrote the script and himself directed the tape.

Other components of happiness: love and family

By this period, we can safely say that Mark was held as a person. The press is interested in his personal life. Mark Webber and his wife, actress Teresa Palmer, together starred in the picture in 2014 "Since then", the production of which was engaged Webber. However, they met two years earlier at one of the social parties. According to both actors, they immediately felt attracted to each other. Fans of the couple complain about the lack of their common pictures, which can be given a categorical answer: both Webber and Palmer are quite popular stars, which lack roles one by one. Moreover, the star couple has time to stay together in the walls of the house. Since 2013 Teresa Palmer and Mark Webber officially consolidated their relationship, and soon they had a firstborn.
