More on Eric Cantona and his career

Eric Cantona was born on May 24, 1966, to a French psychiatric nurse and artist father and a Spanish dressmaker mother. The singer and former professional soccer player was introduced to Italian opera by his father before he eventually discovered rock music as a teen.

The singer elaborated on his musical influences in an exclusive interview with The Guardian on June 2, 2023, stating:

"I listened to a lot of S**Pistols, the Clash, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, Jim Morrison and the Doors. It was a shock for me. The lyrics, the energy, the live performances. When I met them(spiritually) my life changed completely.The last ones who really inspired me were Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen and Daniel Johnston."

Cantona embarked on his professional football career in his late teens, playing till he was 30 and winning a total of five Premier League seasons with Manchester United as well as the 1994 FA Cup.

After retiring from his career as a player, he embarked on a film career, playing roles in films such as the 1998 film Elizabeth as well as the 2003 film The Overeater. Cantona also starred in the 2008 film French Film, which was directed by Jackie Oudney.
