Actress Anastasia Makeeva, not so long ago you had a joyful event - you got married. How does it feel to be a wife? Do you have any new sensations?

It’s a very strange feeling … Gleb and I have been playing husband and wife in the musical "The Count of Monte Cristo" for several years now, and now we are husband and wife in real life. This is probably fate. Although we are all the smiths of our own happiness. I am incredibly happy and happy about this, I have found an ideal man for myself, I think that Gleb is just magically beautiful.

Your wedding, as far as I know, also turned out to be fabulous. How long have you been preparing for it?

It took us a month and a half only to choose a place, I really wanted it to be a manor, nature, carriage, horses, flowers, a beautiful historical hall, a museum, the spirit of nobility, luxury and beauty. That it was not in the registry office, not in the Soviet way.

And it all happened - the invited lawyers arrived at the estate, who painted us. And everything was really like in a fairy tale!

Gleb immediately agreed to such a scenario?

Gleb had his own ideas. At first we wanted a tent in the park, and then we decided that a restaurant is better, because no one knows what the weather will be like in the end. Plus, in Moscow it is difficult, because municipal parks do not overlap, there are mothers with children, cyclists, people with dogs, somewhere outside the city - far away … Oh, all this was discussed for so long, and how many scenarios there were, you can't imagine! But in the end we came to a common denominator, Gleb and I always find a reasonable compromise and know how to yield to each other.

But in the end, the wedding was still held out of town. Did Gleb insist?

In a way, yes, but I agreed. The location was just amazing! The celebration took place at the Nemchinovka Park restaurant. This is an absolutely luxurious closed place along Kutuzovsky Prospekt: a whole town in the medieval style, which belonged only to us for the whole evening. We had a lot of guests, colleagues in the shop - actors, artists, our friends.

It turned out to be such a cinematic wedding. Because Gleb also worked with outstanding directors as a composer, and I worked with good partners, directors and producers, and Gleb's parents have worked in cinema all their lives (Olga's mother is a make-up artist, and Olim's father is a decorator). In general, the company gathered "by interests".

Did you quickly find a common language with each other's parents? How were you received in the new family?

I was received wonderfully, we immediately became close people with Olga Shamilovna and Olim Ivanovich. These are outstanding people: my mother worked in cinema for 40 years, participated in all the best films of Vladimir Khotinenko. Gleb's father created the scenery for the film directed by Dostal “Petya on the Road to the Kingdom of Heaven”, which last year won the main prize at the Moscow International Film Festival, both for “Penal Battalion” and for “Leningrad” … In general, people are incredibly interesting, and we found a common language, I learned a lot from them. I am proud to be in such an amazing family.

You said that your mother is also crazy about Gleb …

Yes, she believes that there is something in “mine” that is not present in today's youth. But most of all she is struck by Gleb's shyness. In general, my parents also accepted him as their own. Dad first saw his future son-in-law at the play. As soon as Gleb began to sing, he said: "A good guy, with a voice." And then I found out that he is also a talented composer.

Well, and when it turned out that Gleb did not smoke and did not drink, dad finally began to respect him.

You spend a lot of time with Gleb together: you live and work side by side. Does this affect your relationship in any way?

When we started rehearsing, we still did not have a personal relationship, and now we rarely play together, the bosses for some reason do not put us in a pair. But when they ask me who is the best Fernand, I don't understand the question. For me, the best Fernand, of course, is Gleb. I am comfortable with him, comfortable, I will always run up to him, talk, no offense to other artists, I really love to play with him. You feel protected with him, during the break you can discuss household chores. Now for me the Operetta Theater is like a visiting house, because lately we rarely see each other. I come home very tired and go to bed, Gleb also works a lot, writes music for several films. I miss him a lot. On the contrary, I would have a couple more performances in which we would touch. And there is some special feeling when you go on stage and see there a dear, close face to you, it helps me a lot. Plus he sings beautifully, I always enjoy standing backstage. And I'm proud! When I listen to him, I can hardly restrain myself so as not to run out onto the stage and shout: “We saw, we saw! This is mine, mine! We heard how he sang!"

Nastya, are you generally an amorous person? Did you often fall in love in your youth?

I wouldn't say that. Since childhood, I lived in Krasnodar, like a greenhouse plant, like an Exupery rose under a hood, my parents protected me in every possible way. I was always supervised, I even went for a walk with my older brother and his company. Anyway, all my first love attachments were more virtual than real, due to their irresponsibility. I remember that the boy Vovochka lived at my entrance on the 8th floor.

I was just wildly in love with him, like a cat. It seemed to me that the light converged on him like a wedge. And how funny I am now to remember it sometimes.

A few years later I saw this man, and it's even funny that I was so worried. He is short, all so awkward. And then he ignored me, and I suffered terribly. I came to my mother, told her everything, cried, and she made fun of me. That terribly offended me, and she told me then: "My God, how much more there will be!" And I told her through tears: "Mom, you don't understand, this is once and for all, my life is over, it is broken …" So I am rather constant and solid.

It is difficult to imagine that you could have unrequited love. After all, you have always been a beauty, won beauty contests more than once …

No, as a child I was an ugly duckling. Terribly thin, awkward. I began to develop very late as a woman and was very worried in my youth. All are already adults, early ripening, but I'm still some kind of … no. Boys of the same age never liked me. I had a couple more tragic events when I fell in love with boys, they did not notice me. There were both tears and snot, I wrote some secret diaries, suffered, worried. As soon as I began to grow up, everything changed.

At the age of 14, my first beauty contest took place, and it started … Since then I have always been surrounded by a lot of attention, but more from adults, mature men. Even then, my peers became uninteresting to me.

When did the first kiss happen? Remember?

Of course. I remember! I was already a pretty adult girl. When I entered the Krasnodar School. Rimsky-Korsakov, I met Nikolai Naumenko. More precisely, he met me. A wonderful guy from Krasnodar. We had carrot love with him. He looked after me beautifully, the relationship was developing, there was the first kiss, and some of my first growing up, I began to realize what adulthood is, what love is. It was very scary to tell my dad about it.

Thank God, your dad likes your current chosen one! The fact that you are happy and loved can be seen with the naked eye. Do you feel the happiest in the whole wide world?

I am absolutely happy! Once I thought that this was impossible, that a person would probably always lack something for complete happiness. But now, when I think about my life and all the milestones I have passed, I understand that now I am absolutely happy.

Love and harmony in the family, recognition in the profession and interesting creative projects - what else can a woman and an actress dream of?
