“Masha is a fashionista, she likes to look in the mirror. Very sociable, fidget and party girl. In general, she is such a fire-girl - all in me " Photo: Philip Goncharov

In my opinion, it's so boring to be beautiful, important and serious all the time. You have to treat yourself with humor. Here Hollywood actresses are not afraid to appear fat in some role, as Rene Zellweger in the Bridget Jones movies, or as scary as Charlize Theron in "Monster". In our country, a beautiful actress basically wants to be beautiful and only beautiful. Once we were sitting in the dressing room with one of my actress friends. In the meantime, she told me that one of our colleagues had grown her eyelashes. Like a fool, I ask: “And if she has to play some terrible heroine, then what about removing her eyelashes?” A friend laughed: “What are you, Banshchikova ?! She doesn’t play ugly ones ... ”It seems to me that everyone is already tired of these glamorous beauties, they want to see normal people in the movies.

- Do you have any feelings about your age?

Not! And this can be seen from the "Snoop" - I don’t worry about appearance, natural age-related changes I’m not afraid and I don’t do anything “such” with myself. When I have time, I do yoga, go to the bathhouse and do Thai massage - brutal when they walk on me with their feet. This helps a lot with a quick recovery. And there is neither time nor desire for all sorts of injections - I am a terrible coward, why should I inject something without need ?! All these "miracle injections" are just some kind of horror. As I said Sophia Loren: "Don't touch my wrinkles, they were too hard for me." It seems to me that from braces and injections, women do not look younger, but only dumber. I recently saw a post by actress Ksyusha Lavrova-Glinka. I don’t remember the exact words, but the meaning is: “I am 40 years old, I have three children, I am an actress, and I am still hoo! And me - bravo! And the truth is - bravo, I share it one hundred percent! Only I am not 40 years old, but 43 years old ... Maybe I am not afraid of age because, as they say, I am a character actress. And, accordingly, in the profession I only gain with age. I have something to tell about women with an interesting fate.

- Yes, your character in The Bloodhound has an outstanding character. How famously she commands her male subordinates...

Yes, she's doing great! And if in the first season, the subordinates tried to fight her, somehow resist, then they gave up, became friends with her, practically “fell under her”. Although these are not a timid dozen guys - “sledaks”! In general, the situation seems to me very relevant. There are so many women! I do not mean a specific profession or position. But women really now have to command, or rather, take everything upon themselves, because men have become somehow lethargic. There are, of course, exceptions. My husband (lawyer Vsevolod Shakhanov. - Ed.), for example. And among my friends there are also real men. But, unfortunately, there are very few of them. It gets ridiculous. Recently on film set they brought a sofa: they wanted to put it in my rest room.

Her timid and gentle look big eyes it's impossible to forget. Whomever she plays - from the wife of Marshal Zhukov to the director of a vegetable warehouse - you can still guess the natural sophistication in her. In the fall, the series beloved by millions returns to the First "Snoop" in which the heroine Anna Banshchikova will again famously reveal one crime after another. The actress spoke about her shyness, selectivity of memory and the struggle for justice in an interview with THR.

You received the classical upbringing of a St. Petersburg girl from an intelligent family: ballet, music school ... And why did you end up becoming an actress and not a ballerina?

Well, what kind of ballerina am I, look at me? Although I would look great in a tutu!.. (Laughs.) Actually it was purely for general development. In St. Petersburg, it is believed that every girl should unlearn at least music school. And it would be nice also in the ballet.

Your grandmother, actress Polina Banshchikova, worked at the Leningrad Theater of Musical Comedy. I suppose it was there, behind the scenes, that you had a desire to devote yourself to Melpomene?

Believe me, even the thought of such a thing did not arise! It just happened that way. By itself. It is now 17-year-old teenagers who are already adults, and at that age we were just children. We haven't figured out yet what we want out of life. Apparently, fate led me. (Laughs.) And it turns out, led in the right direction.

I will hardly be mistaken if I say that, despite your fame, you have not exterminated your natural shyness. Doesn't it interfere with work?

I've been shy all my life, it's true. At University (St. Petersburg Academy theatrical art(SPbGATI), workshop of Dmitry Astrakhan, - THR) guys who came from all over the country studied with me, and looking at them, I, a St. Petersburg girl, was really scared: how to compete with their furious provincial temperament? They came to conquer the world and just tore the space apart! For me, it was constant stress. I wasn't going to fight anyone - I don't tend to do that at all. And only later, with age, I realized that acting nature is just quite shy. All my good actor friends are humble, reflective people. Our profession involves constant doubt, search. Otherwise, you don't grow.

Why, with all your busyness in film and television, do you not leave the theater?

We studied at the theater (St. Petersburg academic theater comedy - THR), and already in my second year I participated, for example, in a benefit performance Igor Dmitriev. In my third year, I had a big episode paired with Alexander Demyanenko… It was very cool. An indescribable feeling when you stand on the stage, silence, you speak in a whisper, but they hear you. And this incredible exchange of energy is like a drug. I tried it once and you can't live without it.

I was always amazed how actors remember kilometers of prose text ...

You know it's amazing. I forget everything! I always can’t leave the house for an hour and a half, because I don’t remember where the keys went. Or I meet a person and in a second it flies out of my head what his name is. At the same time, I recently entered the play at Sovremennik and learned a gigantic amount of text in four days. I voiced The Bloodhound, which we filmed more than a year ago, I come to the studio, they give me editing sheets, I start talking and I understand that papers are not needed. It’s as if I’m getting on some kind of rails, and some unknown part of the brain is taking me along them. As for the events of my life, I don’t remember any bad things at all. That's why it's impossible to offend me.

Shooting in serials, where there is no possibility of rehearsals and takes, is it relaxing or, conversely, stimulating?

TV shows are a hell of a job! Even the most beautiful of them is a flow, an eternal race. There, people from the group can come up to you and say: "Anh, let's finish today at seven, play faster". Or at the end of the shift, for example, three scenes are not filmed, the light goes out - what kind of creativity is there? As a result, even in the highest rated series, the most important scene that people really look forward to can be filmed in three minutes. Everything is contrary, and if you want to stay in this profession and save face, you must play with dignity. You need to be a real fighter to overcome all this. (He strikes the clock with his fingers.)

Investigator Alexandra Kushnir fell in love with the audience. Why do you think?

Firstly, crime stories are very popular now. And my heroine is a lady with character. I myself came up with this crazy woman who is obsessed with her investigations and at the same time terribly lonely. And if it were just a dry aunt - who would watch it?

Do you like detectives yourself?

Hate! (Laughs.)

Can you imagine yourself outside of acting as a real investigator?

I can, I'm such a fighter for justice! Only I would probably have been killed on the second day. I carry the truth everywhere and fight to the end, no matter what. I don't care, everything worries me. This is hard to live with.

Well, you are not looking for easy ways at all. They went to the shooting of the second season literally from the hospital ... Did you take your daughter with you?

But how? She ran to feed every free second ... which was not there. Mashenka is a late child, she dreamed of a girl for a very long time. It so happened that the start of filming coincided with the birth, but the contract had already been signed. I could not refuse, and in the end everything turned out well. In general, I always try not to relegate my family to the background, I am looking for opportunities to be with my children. I am glad that they are sympathetic to my crazy work. (Anna's husband is lawyer Vsevolod Shakhanov and two sons, 11-year-old Mikhail and 9-year-old Alexander, - THR).

- Anya, fate was kind to you, are you generally lucky?

- I do not even know. To be so out of the blue lucky, probably not. Some people are really amazingly lucky. A person does not make any effort, but he is really lucky, just like manna from heaven is pouring in. Taken, for example, in a cool film, and he does not need to do anything further. Everything goes by itself, sit and wait. And he lives on this luck all his life. This happens. I can't say that I'm an unlucky person. I got lucky, of course. I knew people who could help difficult situation, in my life there were fateful meetings. But still, I got everything by my own work.

Are you afraid of sudden twists of fate?

- In fact, I live "headlong". When something is already happening, I can't stop. I never look back. If I fall in love, then to the fullest, and so on in everything. In life, I am not prudent, I do not know how to calculate everything in advance. Because of this, there were such turns in my life that I may not have wanted, but they happened because I am such a person.

- It seems that you are so calm, but you have a storm inside?

- No, what are you! I am quite restless and unbalanced. It's not about me at all. I'm stubborn, stubborn. If I decide something, then nothing will stop me. I can stop the plane if necessary (laughs). Indeed, I had it. I flew a lot, especially from St. Petersburg to Moscow and back. And then one day it was too late. Registration has already ended, the gangway is leaving, and I have to fly. I persuade the airport staff, they first refuse, and then they call the crew. And I'm flying!

- Have you tried to surrender to the flow of life, to become a fatalist?

“It is wise and beneficial. But I can't do that, unfortunately. I don't have much patience at all. It only suffices in relation to my children. It seems to me that everything depends on me. But in fact, life itself tells us a way out. When a person lets go of the situation, does not insist, stops fighting in closed doors, everything is decided and comes by itself. And we are constantly fiddling with space, trying to do everything faster, faster. We need everything right now, this very second, we are always running somewhere, fussing. And you need to listen to yourself, learn to trust your intuition, calm down, relax and not be nervous. But we do know this theory! (Laughs)

– How do you manage to free your mind for a while, to relax?

- When I have a free minute, I run to the club to do yoga and Pilates. It is very calming, balances, and when you get used to it, you simply cannot live without it. In general, I recommend Pilates to young mothers. 100% helps to recover after childbirth. I have two small children, the eldest Misha is 4 years old, the youngest Sasha is 2. I work and, of course, twist and turn, like all mothers. Therefore, I simply do not have the strength for active training, and the time too. And Pilates trains internal muscles that cannot be worked out by any simulators. And most importantly, it suits absolutely everyone.

- Anya, are you conservative or do you like to experiment with style?

- From dressing up and makeup, I already get tired at work. Therefore, I do not want this at all in my life. IN Everyday life I practically do not paint, I put my hair back, I just tie it in a knot at the back, and that's it. I feel so comfortable and feel great. From clothes I prefer jeans. My favourite colour is blue.

Do you find time for beauty salons?

- I really like facial massage and, if I manage to find time, I go to the salon with pleasure. I can sleep there and rest. At all good sleep This is my ultimate beauty recipe. You need to sleep well, and then you will look good. My children were born one after another, I fed them for a long time and filmed at the same time. Therefore, I have such accumulated fatigue and chronic lack of sleep. The last time I slept was probably 4 years ago or more (laughs). Now I need at least six hours of sleep, otherwise I feel tired.

- How do you feel about plastic surgery?

- What, is it time? (Laughs) Negatively. Besides, I'm still such a coward that I can't even imagine how people decide to do this. Maybe when I'm quite old, thoughts will appear. But I pray to God that this does not happen! When a person tries to rejuvenate in this way, it looks stupid. It would be nice to gain wisdom with age (laughs). And wrinkles adorn people with age. As I said famous actress Anna Magnani: “Don't hide my wrinkles. Each of them cost me a lot.”

- How did your husband conquer you when you met?

– I remember the first time I saw him, he spoke English so beautifully, so really, in general, cool. It's a joke, of course (laughs). The main thing is that men should be men. It is very important.

- First of all, when you come home after filming - tired and hungry, what do you do?

“I can’t do anything because the kids jump on me right away. They don't understand that I'm tired. One pulls in one direction, the other in the other. There's nothing to be done here. We go with them to the playroom, but I can no longer play active games. I just sit next to them quietly, or we sit in front of the TV, I hug them, and we watch a cartoon. I never thought that my life could belong to children. At least now it is. All your own free time I spend with them. I have no other interests.

- What are the children interested in? What do they like?

The elder loves nature. We live outside the city, and Misha constantly drags me into the forest. He catches bugs, spiders, and he does not offend them, but only examines and studies. Then he releases. Sometimes it can hold for some time in a jar, always with holes. For him, this is a great blessing. He is generally very attentive: “Mom. Pay attention to what kind of sun, what kind of moon ”… He dreams of going to the island to fish. Children usually play with cars at this age, and he is a romantic. And it teaches me. I try not to disturb him, not to pull. But the baby is completely different. The span is so small. Likes outdoor games, slides. He is a smart guy. He looks after the elder, asks for everything from him, everything that is in the hands of his brother, he needs it too.

“Unfortunately, babies grow up fast…

- I understand this, so every second I try to be with them and not miss anything. I have been keeping a diary since the birth of my first child. Sometimes I even force myself to do it, because there is no time, but I have to sit down, remember what and how he said. Life flies by with such speed that later you won’t remember what they were like, what they said. Everything is erased. I generally have a short memory (laughs). And I want to capture beautiful moments. Then read and just remember how it was. I advise all mothers to keep a diary.

- Do you have your own principles of education?

“Children need to be loved and brought up in love.

- When you are on the set, does your husband take care of the children?

- Certainly. They go to the zoo children's theater always come up with something interesting. Recently, my husband took the elder to the 3D cinema to see a cartoon, and then I scolded him, because I think that Misha is still too early to watch cartoons in 3D. And the son was simply stunned and was completely delighted. In the planetarium, Misha was very scared, because everything there is very realistic.

Do you sometimes look into the kitchen?

Not now, sorry to waste time. I'd rather hang out with the kids than stand by the stove. In fact, I am a good cook and very tasty. I have, apparently, to this ability. In general, a person either knows how to cook, or not. It's impossible to learn it. Have at least a hundred recipes, but if you are not given, you still will not succeed. My husband is a great cook. Incredibly tasty makes pasta, various salads. And quickly and beautifully, like in a restaurant. I look, and at my girlfriends men have recently begun to cook. Maybe it has become fashionable or women are just lazy. In general, I like to eat.

- Were you on a diet?

- I tried it once. I was on a salt-free diet, although I like everything salty. I lost a lot of weight. I remember when the diet ended, I ate some cold buckwheat porridge and it seemed to me that there is nothing tastier in the world. And when I started eating everything with salt again, the lost kilograms came back. Now I think that all diets are complete nonsense, because this is a temporary phenomenon. And the less you think about it, the better. You just need to stick to the measure and not eat any harmful things.

- Anya, I know you like to travel?

– I am generally interested in everything new, and every place amazes me. I have visited many places. I remember Havana. It's the city. Some kind of crazy, neglected and at the same time very beautiful. We traveled to India with Boris Grebenshchikov and his wife. I was incredibly lucky, because he showed us places that simply, being a tourist, you will never get. It was an interesting trip. We visited the Ashram. People from all over the world come there. There is incredible energy, peace, harmony. All women wear colorful saris. I have never seen such crazy, bright, beautiful flowers. The men are all in white. In the morning everyone gets up very early and goes to dorshan, it's like a prayer service, they sit on the floor in the big hall and sing mantras and pray. When people return home from there, they hug everyone, pass on the energy that they received there.

- In what projects can you be seen?

– Just finished filming in the mystical series Cupid. It's already on the air. There is a dubbing of "Marshal Zhukov". This is a 12-episode film that will be released on Channel One in the new year.

- Can we rest now?

- Yes, now I have a short break, and I want to go somewhere with the children. I still don’t know for sure, somewhere far away on the islands. As Ninucci said from the play by Eduardo de Filippo, which I once played: “There is only the sea around and nothing else ...”.

- Since we met literally an hour and a half before your performance at the Sovremennik Theater, tell us at what point did you manage to control the excitement before going on stage, which was probably present at the very beginning of your career?

“At some point, you have to start fighting it. It is impossible to go on stage with excitement - you need to do this in complete peace. Only then will something human happen. And I apparently struggled for a while. But still, I'm probably still worried - though much less.

And this excitement then turns into pleasure? Maybe after it there is euphoria?

— I didn't think about it. But every time the excitement is like an exam. You still have to turn yourself on somehow. And it happens differently for everyone - there are no secrets.

It happens that you get ready and think: “Here, today there will be a cool performance. I'm so upbeat!" But something is not happening. It happens that you, in some absolutely terrible state, tired after the night shift, think: “My God, how will I work as an artist today ?!” And you go out - it turns out the opposite. Unpredictable, in fact, a thing.

- Now in Moscow, the shooting of the series "Desperados" is underway, in which you take part. Tell us about your heroine.

— I play a tough woman. Her name is Rita. She is very positive, does not lose heart under any circumstances, loves life very much. And, probably, this is mutual - despite some of its complex ups and downs.

This is the story of two polar opposite women who, due to circumstances, find themselves together. These women are always on the move, they run away from certain circumstances, they are saved. Such a move.

• Shot from the series "Snoop"

What do you learn from your characters? By creating them and endowing them with some qualities, in the end, maybe you are adopting something from them?

- It happens that at a certain moment you begin to communicate a little, like them. For example, this Rita talks all the time with some kind of interjection. Well, that's how she is - certain words slip through her. And then sometimes you come home and notice that you also start to slip more than usual.

- Actors who had to play representatives of the criminal world said that then tinted jeeps stopped near them and the people in them expressed their respect, so to speak. Did you receive such feedback?

- Yes, sure. Here I had such a good series "Zhukov". I played Zhukov's wife there. They say the cops love it!

After this role, someone tried to stop me, but another policeman said: “Don’t even touch it, you have to salute it - this is Zhukov’s wife on her way.”

Therefore, sometimes it can be broken. I'm joking, but... Maybe not to violate, but sometimes to get some kind of indulgence at least.

Now I’m generally like a lieutenant colonel (Banshchikova refers to her role in the TV series “Snoop.” — RT). I remember how in Gelendzhik I lost my passport and came to make myself a new one. I go to the police station, which appears in the series. After all, Lieutenant Colonel Kushnir serves in the Gelendzhik police. I come, and they immediately start calling someone: “Our boss Kushnir came to us.” Everyone lined up...

Did you do it quickly?

- Generally instantly. And it was funny that they took everything as if their boss really came.

• Frame from the series "Snoop 2"

Your Instagram is absolutely amazing. He is very light...

— Yes, you know. They say that not everyone is like that! But what I read ... they write such beautiful things to me! Some amenities. There are no negative reviews.

- What was the most memorable comment for you?

— That I charge people from a distance. That people look at me from a distance and rejoice.

Some incredible videos are edited for me and sent every day, they make me happy. Some find photographs, invent something, endlessly surprise.

I read and answer. I am in active communication with them. People are involved in my work life and I am very supportive of that. It's very, very important, really.

- Again, on your Instagram, you recently posted a video from the filming of a new series. There you are standing by the car, there is an explosion, and you fall to the ground. How hard is it to shoot those scenes?

- In this film, we often enough fall, and crawl, and climb through the forests, overcome various obstacles all the time, kill people ... And there are some wild scenes with truckers.

Well, difficult or not difficult - I do not know. If you are interested, nothing is difficult. It is difficult when it is not interesting and when you do not want to do it. And when it is interesting, you are involved in it, everything becomes a joy, everything turns out.

• Shot from the film "Hunting for Piranha"

— And how do you feel about uncomfortable locations? Here we are on the set of your new series in a place where the word "comfort" does not apply ...

- How comfortable can it be when there are night shifts, when it's terribly cold, and we're filming?

We are now in early autumn. Therefore, we are practically undressed, with bare legs and in some summer things we walk around. And it’s very cold outside – “behind the scenes” it can already snow. It's all uncomfortable, but no one said it would be comfortable!

It doesn't scare me. This is part of the horrors of the profession, as they say. We are used to it. During the filming, I ran barefoot in the snow, and drowned in icy water, and jumped from a helicopter ... And now in the forests, in the rain, cold and hail.

- Aren't stuntmen jumping from a helicopter?

- In "Piranha Hunt" we ourselves jumped from a helicopter, from five meters. Well, sometimes you have to overcome some things in yourself in order for something to work out.

What would you never do for a role? Maybe they wouldn't shave their eyebrows or cut their hair bald?

- If there was cool script a good director and interesting idea I would do anything. I don't hold onto my eyebrows or my hair. On the contrary, I advocate such experiments with changes. I don't like to play any of the same people.

“Like,” probably. Foolish word.

- Your first role in kindergarten Or in a school play?

- I do not know. I remember I was a snowflake. For some time, two years, I studied ballet at the Palace of Pioneers. How they took me is not clear. Hell, probably. I had a pack, I was a snowflake. I danced right in some kind of children's ballet ...

• Frame from the series "Secrets of the investigation-6", 2006

- What will cause you more discomfort - unwashed hair or cracked manicure?

- Unwashed hair. A manicure is now fashionable to wear cracked. By the way, I am now playing this Rita, and she is in motion throughout the film - they started to run away. So I also go with the peeled off manicure now. But everyone says: "Now it's so fashionable."

— From whom is your last message on WhatsApp or another messenger?

From my director.

— Do your children often write to you?

No, they don't have phones. They, thank God, they are not yet asked. I somehow delay this moment ... Therefore, they do not write to me. I call my grandmother or dad, through them I can talk to the children.

Do you have any childhood fear?

- A lot of some fears, probably. Loneliness - that everyone will leave you, abandon you. Disappear and you'll be alone.

I remember that I was always afraid - like all children, probably - that my mother would die. I had some of those things.

- And now, if this rolls over, what do you do? Are you going to hug the kids?

“Now this is probably not the case. Now, sometimes, I wake up in the morning from the fact that I'm scared that I didn't have time, didn't do something. I don’t know if it’s a child’s fear or an adult’s — I don’t have time to do something.

Do you have any ritual before filming starts?

“There is no such ritual. When you sit in makeup, you somehow just turn on, turn into an artist.

Having chosen the profession of an actress, Anna Banshchikova never regretted it. Her characters sink into the soul of the audience. So it was, for example, with Alexandra Kushnir from the TV series "Snoop". Surely it will be the same with the new heroine Rita from the series "Desperate" by the StarMedia film company, on the set of which Anna Banshchikova is now.

Have trouble sleeping

- Anna, is it true that now, when the Desperados are being filmed, you leave home at six in the morning to be on the set at seven?

Yes. I won’t say that it’s easy, but with three children I had to become a lark. Even when I have a day off, I myself accompany the children to school. And when I think that today I should get some sleep, I still get up and see me off. After all, you need to check everything: who put on what, who took what or forgot to take ... Therefore, there are some problems with sleep: I sleep little ...

- At home, everyone knows: where did mom go, where is she filming, what is her role in the new film?

It’s not that they delve into all the details, but they are aware that, for example, this time, on the set of the Desperate series, I’m shying around in the woods somewhere!

Rita destroys everything

- Tell us about your role in this project. They say that there has never been a series of this format on our television.

I immediately liked the script, because this is a story about two really desperate women. Second the main role- Anna Snatkina. It seems to me that in the end a recognizable portrait will come out modern woman who counts only on herself in this life. Heroines like ours can overcome any obstacle. In general, cool girls! My heroine Rita, no matter what happens, will decide everything, will destroy everything ...

- And how did your heroines get into the forest?

Not only in the forest... We have an interesting scenario: we are always on the move, on the road. I like it a lot too.

- How does your heroine differ from the heroine of Anna Snatkina?

I won't tell you everything, but they are absolutely different worlds. And by chance they find themselves together, because they have to save their lives. That is, these are friends in misfortune.

With director Dmitry Brusnikin / Photo by Vadim Tarakanov and the press service of Channel One (IA Stolitsa)

I'm glad when they don't recognize me

- Are there any difficulties in the work? Or with your experience in the profession, everything is given effortlessly?

The main thing is that the experience does not turn into such a “horse”. You know what they say: this is her forte! In our cinema, by the way, for some reason this is welcomed. The artists find their "horse", and then, at best, they change the sweater in the new project. And you know that this artist is exactly the same in life, or maybe they just don’t offer him anything but to play himself. I'm kind of lucky in that sense. My fans on Instagram often post videos edited from different films with my participation. And in the comments, people write that they don’t recognize me in some pictures - they think that this is a different person. This is the biggest praise for me as an actress.

- Do you go through auditions? Or are the directors just dreaming of getting Anna Banshchikova?

It's still customary to hold auditions. Suppose the director saw me somewhere in character roles, and he wants to try on another - it's clear that he should look at me in a different situation. If I were a director, I would also audition.

no time to be friends

Is Desperate a film about female friendship as well?

Yes, sure!

- And in your life with whom is it easier to be friends - with women or with men?

With good, funny, witty people! In general, when you have three children and so much work, there is no time to be friends. We haven't seen each other for years, we only talk on the phone. All friendship and communication - while you are standing in a traffic jam and you can dial someone's number. But there are close people whom, although you have not seen for years, you know that you can call them at any time of the day or night, and if necessary, they will come to the rescue. And I will come.

- Were you upset that the Bloodhound was nominated for the TEFI television award, but did not receive it?

No, of course, I beg you! Last year I was nominated as the best actress for my participation in a small film. And the whole country watched The Bloodhound, everyone loved her, very warm reviews about the film, and everyone tells me that the heroine has become like a native. But such awards are such a convention that I treat them with humor. The main thing is that people love us.

Will there be another season of The Bloodhound?

The first channel was flooded with letters asking to return the series. I hope everything works out.

Became "contemporary"

- Tell us about your work in the theatre. Are you enrolled in the Sovremennik troupe?

Yes, Galina Borisovna Volchek invited me. While I play only one performance - "The mysterious night murder of a dog."

- There is a feeling that you are “new in the class”, or has everyone known you outside the theater for a long time?

Firstly, everyone is familiar, of course: I have already played with many actors, acted in films, and I’m just friends with someone.

- What theatrical work ahead? Are you planning a tour?

With Marat Basharov, the performance was released - “Love. Dogs @ Tochka.RU”. There was a premiere recently. I have a tour schedule on Instagram. I recently started running Instagram, and somehow I began to like it. It's really great when people leave 700 comments on your photo. Or 15 thousand likes. And now, if suddenly Bad mood I read what they write to me. And there - so much pleasant, such warm words!

Daughter loves to dance

- Enough strength for everything that you want to cover?

If interested, I can mobilize from the ruins. But only if it's interesting.

- How to do everything when such an unpredictable profession, three children, and even the youngest daughter is very small ...

I don't know how, but you have to do everything! Life is like this now: either you do everything - or nothing. Why and where we are in such a hurry is another question.

- Your grandmother, who was an actress and who saw you as an actress since childhood, caught your success?

Grandma knew that I entered theater university She even insisted on it, so to speak. Although I was a modest, shy child, it was difficult to see an actress in me. But my daughter Masha is completely different: she loves to dance and perform.

What are your sons interested in?

A lot of things you can't keep track of. The elder goes to museums every weekend: he is interested in art, history. Younger son I got carried away with football, every day I go to the section. After the World Cup, the boys all fell ill with football, and it's so great! Now we are going to go to Manchester for the match. So now even I know a lot about football.

I can do everything. I iron shirts best, for example. And I cook well too. But I never do it: there is no time.

What is still a dream?

Travel the whole world. Also, write a script. I'll write sometime, it's already in my head. It needs to be quiet so I can just sit down and write it. But as long as I'm not alone. And today this is my great happiness.
