It’s one thing to be a good actor; it’s quite another to be a good and versatile one. Paul Giamatti, an American actor, and producer, is one of the latter, with an impressive career that includes roles that span from dramatic to light-hearted.
His roles in critically praised films such as Straight Outta Compton, 12 Years A Slave, and even Rhino in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 are noteworthy.
He’s also no stranger to the small screen, having starred in Downton Abbey and provided voices for King of the Hill, BoJack Horseman, and Rick And Morty.
Away from the television, however, he is a private person and chevalier. This personality trait seems contradictory in a field that relies largely on making and maintaining personal ties.
For a long time, his now ex-wife, Elizabeth Cohen, was the answer.
What is Elizabeth Cohen’s background?
Elizabeth Cohen works in the same field as Giamatti as a writer and producer. She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Cinema Studies from NYU and is a Brown University graduate.
Her second MFA is in dramaturgy from Yale. Both Giamatti and Giamatti have an MFA in Drama from the same school, making them alumni.
Her father was a senior vice president of the Segal Company, a workers’ compensation consulting firm, and afterward worked as a consultant. Her mother, on the other hand, was a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York.
Cohen operated as the social butterfly for both of them, Giamatti said in an interview with The Scotsman. He went on to say that she is vivacious and eager about maintaining friendships, following up with them, and spending out with them.
The pair married in 1997 and had a kid named Samuel Paul together. The pair, though, is now divorced.
No one knows when they divorced because they have been silent about their split. There’s also no explanation for why they had a falling out.
Giamatti Appears to Be Dating Someone
As previously said, Giamatti wants to keep a low profile. As a result, keeping the specifics of his divorce private was natural, as was remaining silent about subsequent relationships. Many people were intrigued by this.
And it’s on matters like these that paparazzi are useful. For example, he was seen on the bleachers with an unknown woman during a Rangers game in 2019.
Apart from the evident fact that she has dark hair and is of Asian heritage, little is known about the lady. Another clear point is that Giamatti enjoys her company and that their friendship may be more than platonic.
It’s as enigmatic as the woman herself whether or not they’re still together.
What’s new with Giamatti these days?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the actor’s net worth is currently $25 million. This is a reasonable amount because his reputation precedes him.
He’s won Golden Globes for Best Actor in a Motion Picture for John Adams and Barney’s Version, Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture for Too Big To Fall, and Critics Choice Awards for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for Cinderella Man.
Then there are the nominations, which run the gamut from Academy to Emmy Awards. In addition, 2021 has been an important year for him.
He has his hands filled with critically acclaimed films like Gunpowder Milkshake and Jungle Cruise. He’s also the main character of the series Billions, which is in its fifth season this year.
Giamatti is usually shown as a middle-aged man with a hulking physique. However, he has recently started losing weight, which surprised everyone when the second season of Billions aired.
