Please enjoy what we have researched and put together for your enjoyment!!
Born and raised in London, England, Adrian Paul boasts a colorful background. Adrian's mother was Italian and his father British.
Around age 10 he attended a Rugby school, and tried out for the Wimbledon team when he was around sixteen. He played semi-pro soccer for Bromley Town and Beckenham Town teams too.
In 1979 his current girlfriend submitted a photo of him for a contest, and he won!
 He began some modeling, then as a dancer and choreographer he traveled with a small dance troupe across Europe. His jazz ballet background helped!
Adrian is a world traveler and speaks English, French, and Italian fluently as well as several other languages.
In 1985, he left Europe and came to the United States to pursue a dance and modeling career.
Even though he had studied Shakespeare and performed in school plays when he was younger, acting was not a focus.
He signed with the Ford Modeling Agency in New York. Waiting tables in restaurants and bars, he was down to $12 in his pocket when his big break came.
