1 place. Danila Kozlovsky

For the role in Duhless 2, Danila Kozlovsky mastered surfing almost to perfection. Filming took place on Uluwatu - a favorite place for experienced surfers
on Bali. Beginners do not climb there: there are reefs nearby! In the midst of shooting, rescuers reported: a swell is moving towards us - a big wave. The group was in a hurry. Only one frame was missing - how the hero gets up in full height On the desk. It was possible, of course, to do without him, but Danila always strives for the ideal. We waited for a favorable moment - a small wave. And finally Danila went to sea. Suddenly, a small wave rose and turned into a three-meter one. In this case, the surfer must dive under it on the board. But, being on the crest of a wave, Danila continued to work - and stood up! The film crew was dumbfounded with horror as they saw him blown off the board and spinning almost instantly. "Feels like I'm in
washing machine drum during spin cycle! Kozlovsky says. “And the next wave also threw a T-shirt over my face!” All new waves began to nail the actor to the reefs. He gathered his strength and rowed to the shore - and then he saw a drowning guy, almost unconscious. Risking his life, Danila swam to him and picked him up on his surfboard. So they and the tourist, who did not calculate their strength, held out until the boat arrived. “Australian rescuers, pulling us out of the water, said: “Crazy Russian!” Danila laughs. - I answered them: “I want it again!”

But neither this, nor his desperate proposal - "Masha, marry me!" - did not change her attitude towards him. And she didn’t take a gift, and she didn’t marry him.

He did not know how he would get home: the gas in the car was at zero. I gave him money for gas and borrowed a laptop so he could Skype his wife.”

We feed him crickets and cockroaches. And watch him change his skin."

Demolished unnecessary partitions with a crowbar. In the living room and hallway, he tore off the wallpaper, removed the plaster and left bare brick walls. From morning to evening, covered with orange dust, leveled them, and then covered them with transparent varnish. Friends did not even believe: “Pasha, are you all this yourself ?!”

In this article, you will learn about the most famous, popular and sought-after pop artists in our country. They are very different - young or rejuvenating, beautiful and original, talented or not. But the public loves them, no matter what, whether it's a new hit or long legs.

Variety centenarians

These are the "oldest" singers in Russia. Photo divas regularly throughout years appear in the yellow press, and crowds of fans still hunt for their autographs. This list includes: Alla Pugacheva, Sofia Rotaru, Larisa Dolina, Kadysheva, Lyubov Uspenskaya, Irina Allegrova and Valeria. Of course, this is not a complete list, only those pop artists who are currently able to gather full houses at their concerts are included here. Note: even though Alla Pugacheva left the stage, she can return at any moment and gather a whole crowd of fans.

The most beautiful singers in Russia

This list includes those pop divas who do not even need to sing. It is enough just to go on stage, and millions of men's hearts freeze from such unearthly (and barely covered) beauty. Well, if they are also talented, they have good voice nothing can stand before this crushing force. So, the most beautiful singers in Russia are Vera Brezhneva, Pletneva, Zhanna Friske, Nyusha, Tatyana Kotova, Tanya Tereshina (Yin-Yang group), Sati Kazanova, Svetlana Svetikova, Valeria, Yulia Kovalchuk, Anna Semenovich. It is these divas who not only sing well, but also invariably attract male gazes. Many of these singers starred for men's magazines: Playboy, Penthouse and other similar publications. And this once again serves as proof of their beauty.

The most popular singers in Russia

You can be both beautiful and talented, but only the desire of the audience to get to a particular singer at a concert or get her to a corporate or private party is a real objective indicator of the demand for a star. And demand always creates supply, and the most sought-after artists receive the highest fees. However, I would like to note the fact that Russian singers, like their foreign colleagues, often overestimate the amounts they receive for their performances. There are several reasons: firstly, the thought - "what if they give just that much", and secondly, self-promotion - "look how popular I am." And, of course, the expectation of a purely psychological effect - for many people who "order" stars for themselves, the status of the performers is important, and not the quality of the songs at all. This is what many Russian singers use, asking for hundreds of thousands of dollars for a half-hour performance to the phonogram. Alla Pugacheva is considered the most expensive: she asks for €250,000 for 5 songs, and only on the condition that she does not need to travel more than 500 km from Moscow. Next comes Elena Vaenga - she asks "only" € 200 thousand for a forty-minute performance. Among the younger generation, the singer Elka can be noted - she takes € 100 thousand Zemfira can be ordered for € 150 thousand. But the whole group "Brilliant", wholesale, will cost only €20 thousand.

As a result, we can conclude: Russian singers still do not reach world celebrities in terms of fees. And none of our stars yet can compare with Rihanna, who earned $ 8 million in one night, Beyoncé ($ 2 million for her performance at private party on a yacht) or Christina Aguilera ($1 million in one hour).
