Ruby Rhod is a flamboyant and eccentric character from the 1997 science fiction film "The Fifth Element," directed by Luc Besson. Portrayed by Chris Tucker, Ruby Rhod is a famous and extremely popular radio show host in the movie's futuristic setting.
Known for his over-the-top personality, distinctive fashion sense, and fast-paced, high-pitched manner of speaking, Ruby Rhod is a standout character in the film. He sports extravagant, avant-garde outfits, complete with unique hairstyles and accessories, embodying a future where media personalities take on an almost theatrical level of flamboyance.
In the film, Ruby Rhod is initially portrayed as somewhat superficial and self-absorbed, more concerned with his celebrity status than the events unfolding around him. However, as the plot progresses, involving a quest to find and unite the four elemental stones to stop a great evil, Ruby becomes an unlikely ally to the main protagonist, Korben Dallas, and the character Leeloo, the Fifth Element.
Ruby Rhod's character adds a layer of humor and satire to the film, particularly in the way he dramatically reacts to the dangerous and chaotic situations he finds himself in. His interactions with other characters, especially Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis), provide comic relief and contrast to the more serious and action-packed moments in the movie.
"The Fifth Element" is celebrated for its imaginative and visually stunning world-building, and Ruby Rhod is a prime example of its unique approach to character design and storytelling. The character has become iconic in the realm of science fiction cinema, remembered for his outlandish style and memorable performance by Chris Tucker.
