Sebastien Foucan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sebastien Foucan is the founder of free running. He is well known as an ambassador for free running to many countries and is generally considered to represent free running and free runners in a positive light. Well known for his views on the philosophy behind free running, he also stresses the need for proper training in the basics of free running, not only for safety, but also to maintain the positive appearance of the activity in the public eye.
He came to prominence in the UK after the showing of Mike Christie's Jump London documentary on Channel 4 in September 2003, and the subsequent documentary Jump Britain.
In addition to these factual programmes, Sebastien has added acting credits and appears as the villain Mollaka in the 21st James Bond film, Casino Royale. He spent three grueling months in the Bahamas filming his role in the movie.
Sebastien is also a close friend of Robert Pirès and was filmed visiting Pirès' flat and enjoying a game of pro evolution football with him during the channel 4 Jump Britain.
