Life and career

Born in Bucharest, Bleonț went to the {{ill|German Goethe College Bucharest|lt=German High School|ro|Colegiul German Goethe}}, and graduated from the I.L. Caragiale Institute of Theatre and Film Arts in Bucharest. Since then, he has played lead roles at many theatres in Romania, often preferring more classical productions. However, one of his most well-known theatre performances is as Romeo in a production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet with the balcony scene replaced with a bathtub. He has received several national awards for his theatre work.

He has since appeared in seventeen films, under many of the Romanian directors. He had a lead role in the film Un été inoubliable under the direction of Lucian Pintilie; the film was nominated for the Golden Palm at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival.

He married Beatrice Bleonț, a stage director, in 1995; they have since divorced and since 2001 he has been married to Andra Negulescu, an actress.

In the 2003 film Boudica, Bleonț played the role of Suetonius' ADC. In 2005 he acted in Femeia visurilor, a Romanian film directed by Dan Pița. He appeared in Eva, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2010.
