A brutal appearance and a huge acting talent for reincarnation allowed Igor Lifanov to create unforgettable characters in many cult Russian films. This actor today can confidently be considered one of the most popular in our country.
The domestic actor of theater and cinema - Igor Romanovich Lifanov - is currently at the top of his career. Behind the artist is a huge number of title films, which made him a real idol of millions of fans.
Brief biography of Igor Lifanov
The future popular actor was born on December 25, 1965 in Nikolaev in a simple Ukrainian family, very far from the world of culture and art. It is striking that his love of the theatrical stage instilled in him a weakness for gender antipodes. After all, it was the fateful romance with a contemporary Natasha Malysheva, who dreamed of becoming a movie star, that infected Igor with the “artist virus”.
After graduating from high school, our hero went to defend the peaceful sky over the head of the Motherland to the Far Eastern borders, where he successfully spent three years of military service. And then there was an unsuccessful attempt to enter the capital's theater university, after which he was admitted to the Leningrad Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography. After receiving a diploma of higher education, Lifanov made his debut on the stage of the ABDT im. Tovstonogova in the play "Sunny Night". He played on this stage until 2003.
But our hero did not say goodbye to theatrical life, but only changed the accents. Together with his best friend Dmitry Nagiyev, he has been successfully playing in the play "Kysya" since 2001, and, in addition, in the notorious production of "Territory", where both actors are completely naked. The friendship of two brutal men experienced different moments in life. It is interesting that once Dmitry Nagiyev knocked out Igor's tooth during another quarrel, but today they remember this with a smile.
As usually happens in such cases, Igor Lifanov earned the love of millions of Russian fans, working in the cinema. Today the artist has a very serious filmography behind him: "Agent of National Security 1-2" (1999-2000), "Gangster Petersburg. Baron”(2000),“Ice Age”(2002),“Special Forces”(2002-2003),“Saboteur”(2004),“Day Watch”(2006),“Paradise”(2006),“Guide”(2007), “Let me kiss you” (2008), “The Taming of the Shrew” (2009), “Mediator” (2013), “The Guide” (2015), “Five Minutes of Silence” (2017), “Something for Free” (2017), “The Consequence of Love” (2017), “Five Minutes of Silence. Return "(2018).
Personal life of the artist
The role of the hero-lover very harmoniously entered the real life of Igor Lifanov. Today, the favorite of millions of fans has been married for the third time. The first marriage, which lasted only three months, with fellow student Elena Pavlikova did not at all change the artist's attitude to the female sex. Even before he could finish a theatrical university, he is married for the second time with Tatyana Aptikeyeva. In this family union, which lasted thirteen years, a daughter, Anastasia, was born.
Our hero made the third visit to the registry office after nine years of civil marriage with Elena Kosenko. In this family, in 2012, another daughter, Alice, was born.
