Malkovich married actress Glenne Headly in 1982. In 1988, the couple divorced following his affair with Michelle Pfeiffer. [57] [58] He began dating Nicoletta Peyran in 1989 after meeting her on the set of The Sheltering Sky , on which she was the second assistant director. The couple has two children, Amandine and Loewy. [59]

Malkovich has a distinctive voice quality, which The Guardian has described as "wafting, whispery, and reedy". [59] He does not consider himself a method actor. [60] Malkovich is fluent in French, having lived and worked in theater in southern France for nearly 10 years. He and his family left France in a dispute over taxes in 2003 [61] and have since lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts. [62]

Malkovich is the co-owner of the restaurant Bica do Sapato and Lux nightclub in Lisbon. [63] He lost millions of dollars in the Madoff investment scandal in 2008. [64] [65] In the 1990s, Malkovich and Peyran bought a farm near Lacoste, Vaucluse, [9] which the couple later turned into a wine label named Les Quelles de la Coste; they started planting grapevines there in 2008 [66] and produced their first vintage in 2011. [67] [68] He has raised funds for the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, his sole charity. [69]

Malkovich stated in a 2011 interview that he is not a "political person" and that he does not have "an ideology", revealing that he had not voted since George McGovern lost his presidential run in 1972. [70] At the Cambridge Union Society in 2002, when asked whom he would most like to fight to the death, Malkovich replied that he would "rather just shoot" journalist Robert Fisk and politician George Galloway, stating that Galloway was not honest. Journalists speculated that the comment was related to criticism of Israel and the war in Iraq. [71] [72]

When asked in an interview with the Toronto Star in 2008 whether having spiritual beliefs was necessary to portray a spiritual character, he said, "No, I'd say not... I'm an atheist. I wouldn't say I'm without spiritual belief particularly, or rather, specifically. Maybe I'm agnostic, but I'm not quite sure there's some great creator somehow controlling everything and giving us free will. I don't know; it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me." [73]

On June 6, 2013, Malkovich was walking in Toronto when a 77-year-old man named Jim Walpole tripped and accidentally cut his throat on a piece of scaffolding. Malkovich applied pressure to Walpole's neck to reduce bleeding before Walpole was rushed to a hospital, where he received stitches and later credited Malkovich with saving his life. [74] [75]
