[edit] Biography

Being the son of a Miami socialite mother, Ratner directed music videos before reaching commercial success with the action-comedy Rush Hour (1998), starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, both of whom reunited with Ratner for a sequel, Rush Hour 2 (2001). Ratner was under consideration to direct X-Men (2000) and Superman Returns (2006), although both were eventually directed by Bryan Singer. After Singer left the X-Men franchise to direct Superman Returns, Ratner coincidentally became director of X-Men: The Last Stand (2006).

He is a guest lecturer at the New York Film Academy.

As of 2006, Ratner resides in Beverly Hills, California. He dated Serena Williams during 2004 and 2005.

[edit] Screen appearances

Ratner was seen on the MTV series Punk'd when Hugh Jackman, who portrays Wolverine in the X-Men films, was the subject of a practical joke that made it appear Ratner's $3.6 million home in Beverly Hills was destroyed by a BBQ grill explosion. Kutcher later arrived to his home and hugged him after Jackman was punk'd.[1]

He appeared as himself in James Toback's semi-improvised drama Black and White.
