context_page_description: Jamie Cudmore is a Canadian former rugby union player. He most recently played for the Top 14 club Oyonnax. Previously Cudmore played for Llandovery RFC, Llanelli RFC, FC Grenoble and ASM Clermont Auvergne. He has been nicknamed 'Cuddles' by his teammates, an ironic moniker considering Cudmore's tough and ruthless style of play.
context_section_description: Cudmore says he "had a bit of trouble growing up". As a teenager he was an enforcer for a drug dealer in his home town and spent a year in a youth detention center following a conviction for assault. He has stated that rugby turned his life around but still exhibited such violence throughout his playing career, usually attacking people much smaller than himself.
  Cudmore's younger brother is actor Daniel Cudmore, who starred as the mutant Colossus in the X-Men films. His other younger brother, Luke Cudmore, has represented the Canada U21 rugby team.
  Jamie Cudmore is married to Jennifer Cudmore, originally from Newfoundland, and they have a daughter, Maelle. They currently live in the Clermont-Ferrand area of France, where Jamie owns a wine bar called "Vinomania", and a sportsbar/nightclub called "The Five". Jamie's wife is an entrepreneur with an honors MBA from Grenoble École de Management, and together they recently came out with their own wine label called "Sin Bin". With the Chardonnay being named 'Yellow Card', and 'Red Card' being the name of the Pinot Noir Gamay, they poke fun at his disciplinary record.
