Some witty people note that the biography of Sergei Zarubin resembles a fairy tale about Cinderella. There is a certain amount of coincidence in this judgment. The Don Cossack had to "push with his elbows" when communicating with his Leningrad colleagues.
Starting conditions
At the moment, Sergei Mikhailovich Zarubin easily communicates with journalists and answers any questions with a light humorous tinge. At the same time, he positions himself as a serious person, emphasizing that the genre of a satirical or humorous performance requires a thoughtful approach. The story of how he got into the famous theater "Satyricon" was widely disseminated in the information field. However, fans and fans of the actor are more interested in that part of the biography in which facts from childhood and adolescence are recorded.
The future actor and choreographer was born on May 23, 1956 in a family of employees. Parents lived in Rostov-on-Don. My father served in law enforcement. Mother worked as a biology teacher in one of the city's educational institutions. According to the reviews of relatives and friends, Sergei dreamed of becoming an actor since childhood. When guests gathered in the house, he recited poetry, danced and sang songs. And he always dressed up. The outfits were invented by himself from the materials at hand. After the eighth grade, the father wanted to assign Sergei to the Suvorov school, but his son categorically refused.
Professional activity
For two years in high school, Zarubin regularly attended classes in a theater studio. Having received a certificate of maturity, he got a job as a stage worker at the local Theater of the Young Spectator. Sergei twice tried to enter the Leningrad Theater Institute. He had to unlearn two courses at the Rostov Pedagogical University. And only after careful preparation under the guidance of an experienced tutor, he became a student of a theater university. Having received a specialized education in 1980, a certified actor, as they say, "thundered" into the army.
I had to serve in the army song and dance ensemble, which was quartered in the center of Leningrad. Back in his student years, Zarubin invented for himself the stage image of the gypsy Lariska. He so skillfully put on his "gypsy" make-up that even his friends did not recognize him. Sergei managed to show several of his numbers to the legendary Arkady Raikin. The master appreciated the work of the young actor. After the army, Zarubin was accepted into the troupe of the Satyricon Theater.
Recognition and privacy
In the theater, Zarubin had to not only play certain roles, but also dance. He not only danced, but also staged choreographic compositions. With a heavy workload in the theater, I managed to act in films.
There is very little information about the actor's personal life. In his early years, he tried to build a relationship with his beloved woman. Less than a year later, the husband and wife parted. After this incident, Zarubin hides the private side of his existence from prying eyes. His whole life goes on on stage.
