Alexander Lykov Biography Family

St. Petersburg 2nd Krasnoarmeyskaya St. Bright and charismatic, he gives each character an inimitable charm and is remembered by the audience in many films. One of the recent main roles of the actor is the owner of the Lev Fedotov hotel in the television series Grand, who “reloaded” Lykov’s popularity and made him recognizable among the young generation of spectators. Actor Alexander Lykov childhood, youth, family Alexander was born in the fall of the year in the village of Rahya, Leningrad Region.

Father left the family almost immediately after his birth, the boy did not even remember him. Sasha remained in the care of her mother, who worked as a storekeeper of the Leningrad Optical and Mechanical Association, and grandmothers, cooks in the dining room. He often had to stay at home alone while his relatives were at work. Not without pranks. One of these almost cost Lykov health: rushing from the hill, he fell and damaged the spine.

In childhood, Alexander Lykov prophesied the boy with disability, but Sasha showed perseverance, doing special exercises daily, and a year later he was completely cured. Later he seriously engaged in karate reached a black belt and biathlon, participated in competitions. But the dramatic circle in which he was engaged with interest was the lay hobby of Lykov. And there he was told that he had all the data in order to become a professional actor in the future: teachers Irina Borisovna Nagaeva and Leonid Semenovich Izlovyev - they were the first to advise me to enter the theater institute.

There was such a play “The Nest of the Castle” of Viktor Rozov, it was staged in the central theaters, and my colleagues and I put it in my rural culture house. I played the protagonist - a rally, a boy from a prosperous family. I especially liked that there you can kiss a halave with a girl. Usually, after all, you still need to get to the kiss in the process of communication, but here you come and directly at the rehearsal you kiss as much as you like.

I liked the process of creating a performance, and the performance itself before our rural public. And our public was not easy ... A significant part of the population was sitting in places not so remote, then returned from there. And these people recognized me as an artist. At that time, the young man perceived the artists as an elite, to whom he did not go to reach.

But the applicants preparing for admission to the only Leningrad Theater University seemed to him half -crazy and unusually attractive. At the end of study in the year, Lykov was invited to the troupe of the Lensovet Theater. But first I had to serve in the army: Igor Vladimirov Khudruk Theater - approx. And I went to the political officer and told him that my place was in the theater: “Well, you understand that I need to play, create art, and service in your army is just a cover.” And this, it turns out, was the most terrible political commander throughout the Leningrad Military District, Major Rudenko.

And I went to the north, to the construction battalion. But there, in the north, everything quickly became clear: both about the theater, and how to walk, and how to survive, and how to survive, so that you are not welded in a boiler for dinner ... Acting career served in a construction battalion, which Lykov subsequently compared with the zone, he nevertheless entered the service of the Lensovet Theater and debuted on his stage, brilliantly, brilliantly Relacing into the Schwonder.

Later, Alexander worked on the scenes of other theaters of St. Petersburg. The most interesting images created by the actor remained for a long time in the memory of the theaters. Lykov’s debut in the film took place in the first year of the institute. The role in the television movie "Friends of Gamery and Fun", taken based on the story of Vasily Shukshin, was very small, his name was not even indicated in the credits.

Before the beginning of the nineties, the actor did not receive significant roles. To ensure a family in which two young children were already growing up, he worked as a cargo. For the first time, the main character, Henry II, Lykov played in the film “Thomas Beket”, which managed to attract the attention of filmmakers. In the year, several paintings with Lykov’s participation were released at once.

In two of them, he represented the main characters: Vadim in the militant “Journey to Happy Arabia” and Dima in the comedy “Verish Bride”. But they began to recognize Alexander in the streets after a small role of gay prostitutes in Vova in Dmitry Astrakhan’s melodrama “You are the only one”. The image created by the actor was so bright that after years he presented him with surprises.

One of these Lykov described in an interview: at the film festival in Dombai, he got into the most real “raspberry”. We sit in a tavern, we poison jokes. They are invited to one table, after another, in the end ended up in a strange hotel room. And there are brothers. Views-like animals, some are sleeping dumbbly. One of the brothers glued, began to stroke my knee so gently: “Ah, what a handsome artist Volodya Dolinsky helped out.

He is a grated guy, at one time he pulled the term. I immediately got it that I had to help me out. If not for him, I don’t know how all this would end. The role of Casantsev, nicknamed Casanov in the television series “Streets of Broken Lights”, initially took the actor as a monetary “hack”.But with his characteristic responsibility, he began to build the image of the operator: active, sexually preoccupied, frail and fearless.

Later Lykov admitted that he did not understand why the project was so enthusiastically accepted by the audience. He himself, looking at the first episodes, remained unhappy. But gradually Casanova and his friends became more and more popular, at the cinematic events of the actors they met as heroes. Nevertheless, after two seasons, Alexander left the project so as not to become a hostage to one role.

He managed to precede the situation, although at first after the deafening success of the “streets ...” he was invited to the same type of roles: either bandits or police officers. Alexander Lykov in his youth in the year Lykov voluntarily subjected himself to severe trial, becoming a participant in the third season of the reality show “The Last Hero” and was very pleased with the invaluable experience.

In the filmography of the actor, the main roles were replenished in the ribbons “Version”, “The Third is not given”, “The wanted list”, “Inquisitor”. Lykov himself very reverently reacted to the role of Father Arseny in the drama “Save yourself, brother! But to the issue of choosing roles, he, a parishioner of the St. Petersburg Church in honor of the icon “Inexhaustible Chalice”, has since been approached from the point of view of compliance with religious canons: past priorities have ceased to matter.

After all, what is the actor's work? For us, ambition is part of the profession, its component. You need to be the best, the first in everything. Thanks to this, you spread, improve. So I thought before. And then I realized: no, the main thing is to work hard for the Lord God, here is a real incentive. And in another way it is no longer possible, to work painfully for yourself.

Lykov appeared interesting and ambiguous before the audience in the image of the owner of the hotel Lev Glebovich from the Grand television series. Preparing for the embodiment of the protagonist in the picture, the actor admitted that several famous oligarchs became his prototype with whom he spoke, paid attention to how they give interviews, behave: ... In addition to everything else, Leo Glebich is a kind of reference to the Russian spirit.

And this spirit is something unique. I wanted him to present a Russian person has one important and unique property, which, perhaps, rarely meets where else: he is very integral. And, despite the fact that he is twitched in different directions, he initially has a very collected inner essence. In my opinion, it looks like this: we are born with this unique essence of the composure, we lose it for life and then we strive to return to it all our lives.

That's about the same thing happens with Leo Glebych, as with a person gifted with different talents and, above all, organizational ones. Together they rented housing, and in the fall, when Lykov graduated from the first year, they played a wedding in Tikhvin, a town near the northern capital. At first glance, love has grown into reliable family and creative relationships, which only enveloped over the years.

Over time, his wife became the director of her husband and, according to the actor, was a guardian angel for him and saved his life more than once. They had two children - the daughter of Katya in the year, and in the year - the son of Matvey, who made his career in the modeling business. Both have already acquired their own families and made their parents a grandparents of four grandchildren: Catherine gave birth to David and Avdotya, and two girls were born in the family of her son - Sienna and Lou.

Alexander Lykov, in the summer of the year, took place the premiere of the army comedy “For Palych! In addition, the audience saw Alexander in the Drama “Summer in the City”, as well as in the comedy television series “My Mom is a Spy”, where he played one of the main roles. In addition to that filmography of Lykov, the children's film “Three Friends, the treasure and the sailor of the cat” and the continuation of the sports drama “difficult teenagers” replenished.

A surprise for the viewers was the comedy “Mother -in -law”, in which Lykov starred with Larisa Guzeeva, his former classmate at the theater university. Guzeeva played the imperious matriarch of the family, and Lykov-her husband-poker. He was preparing for a new role, he was overgrown and carelessly dressed when his wife offered to go to the cafe to unwind.

Along the way, he was detained by the patrol car, taking it for a homeless person, and brought the actor to the “Monkey”, where he calmly waited for the arrival of his boss - his classmate Alla. Soon, police officers began to apologize to the hero of the “streets of broken lamps”, then they asked for traveling with them to the departments of neighboring areas, to speak to colleagues.

Lykov did not refuse, and they brought them home in the morning. At one time, the actor was supposed to play the main role of Don Rumata in the last film by Alexei German, “It's hard to be a god”, who starred for long fourteen years.

According to editor Yevgeny Okotskir, Lykov went through all the samples, but the dialogue of the protagonist with Budakh became decisive when choosing the actor. The way Leonid Yarmolnik read this dialogue impressed the director very much, and he decided in his favor. The release of the Comedy “Mother -in -law” coincided with a tragedy in Lykov’s family: his mother -in -law died, with whom the actor lived in the soul and, according to him, more often sided with it than to the side of his wife.Alexander Lykov more than once refused to work in theaters, since he was not satisfied with the attachment to the schedules.

He apologized for his refusals to Andrei Konchalovsky, Andrei Zholdak, and especially to Timur Bekmambetov. After all, the actor almost agreed to participate in the performance of the Theater of Nations, where his partners would be Yevgeny Mironov and Konstantin Khabensky. But at the last moment he was offered an interesting film project, which became a decisive reason for the refusal.

He made his debut in the film "Friends of Games and Fun."
