- Have you ever dreamed of connecting your life with professional sports?

- Until the age of 14, I dreamed of the Stanley Cup. But then I watched a film about Admiral Ushakov and began to dream of a captain's bridge. Before entering the Nakhimov School, I came across a collection of culinary recipes. So by the age of 16, I definitely decided to become a chef and even found a suitable culinary school. But in the summer, my mother was reading the newspaper and came across an advertisement for admission to the Moscow Art Theater School. I went, went, and stayed there. Studied at the Moscow Art Theater School. VI Nemirovich-Danchenko on the course of Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov, and from the second year he began to play in "Snuffbox". At one time I was the most acting actor in the theater. It turned out to be 18 performances a month.

- And you didn't want to play a movie?..

- I wanted to! But who will take it with such a schedule ?! The directors watched and threw up their hands. Nevertheless, I managed to star in the films Sinful Love, Riddles of the Inspector, Kamenskaya - 2, Turkish March, The Idiot, Passion for Bumbarash, The Best City of the Earth. But the roles were small, not the main ones.

- And yet Alexey Sidorov ventured to offer you the main role.

- It's hard to say why he liked me. They say he looked like Kostya Ju. I came to the director completely bald and very unshaven. Lesha asked me if there was a photo with him with hair. I showed two passports - foreign and ours. Appreciated and invited to audition.

- Continuation - "Shadow Boxing-2" - will be?

- Yes. The contract for writing the script has already been signed with Alexei Sidorov. And according to the finale of the film, the continuation suggests itself.

- Now, for sure, you have begun to enjoy increased attention not only of directors, but also of the fair sex. What kind of women do you like?

- Anyone. I don't have a single image and type. I may like and captivate just one look, or maybe it will be a voice, a smell, eyes. Just one detail is enough. Something should flare up between us, flash, and this will be enough for a feeling to arise.

- Have a dream?

- Get some sleep.
