Who is Paul Thomas Anderson?
Paul Thomas Anderson is a California native born on June 26, 1970.
The 52-year-old was one of the first “video store” generations of filmmakers, according to IMDb.
“His father was the first man on his block to own a VCR, and from a very early age Anderson had an infinite number of titles available to him,” his bio reads.
“While filmmakers like Spielberg cut their teeth making 8 mm films, Anderson cut his teeth shooting films on video and editing them from VCR to VCR.”
His bio adds: “Part of Anderson’s artistic DNA comes from his father, who hosted a late night horror show in Cleveland.”
Anderson was in his early twenties when his first short film, Cigarettes and Coffee, was screened at the 1993 Sundance Film Festival.
What is Anderson’s net worth?
Anderson has directed films such as Boogie Nights, Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, The Master, and Phantom Thread.
He has three Golden Globe Awards nominations, as well as 11 Oscar nominations on his resume, including Best Director nods for There Will Be Blood in 2008 and Phantom Thread a decade later.
His net worth is estimated to be $70million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
When did Anderson meet Maya Rudolph?
Anderson and comedian, Maya Rudolph, started dating in 2001 after he broke up with singer, Fiona Apple, according to Good Housekeeping.
The couple shares four children and in 2018, the Bridesmaids star told The New York Times that she felt “ooky” referring to Anderson as her “boyfriend” after the birth of their first child, so she refers to him as her “husband” even though they are not married.
“People know what that means,” she told The Times.
“It means he’s the father of my child, and I live with him, and we are a couple, and we are not going anywhere.”
In 2018, Rudolph also opened up about her relationship with Anderson in an interview with US Weekly.
“I think genuinely like the effort to make an effort. [That’s] the most romantic gesture,” she told the outlet. “Like, to be present.”
She added: “To show up every day is kind of the most romantic part because you can bail at any moment.”
