According to the prevailing ideas, it is difficult for a person with an ordinary appearance to break into the acting workshop. However, reality refutes such maxims. The creative path of Yevgeny Zelensky can serve as a confirmation of this.
Starting conditions
Artist of Russian theater and cinema Yevgeny Vladimirovich Zelensky was born on May 29, 1978 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents lived in Moscow. We worked to raise and raise a child. The boy went to kindergarten and then to school. I spent all my free time on the street. Being physically developed, he enrolled in the sambo wrestling section. At school, his favorite subjects were geography and English. Zhenya dreamed of visiting Australia and seeing live kangaroos.
As a teenager, Zelenskiy learned to strum the guitar. In subsequent years, he became interested in playing this instrument and mastered the technique of "attacking the strings" quite well. In high school, Eugene began attending a theater studio, which operated in the nearest palace of culture. He liked acting classes. The teenager sang, danced and performed roles in amateur performances. Having received a certificate of maturity, Eugene pondered for some time about where to get an acting education.
On stage and in the cinema
A promising actor with a textured appearance was invited to study at the RodArs Film Studio Theater. This creative association operated at the Gorky Film Studio. It is interesting to note that Zelensky was invited to appear in the crime drama Pyatnitsky-3 after a short period of time. The director explained his decision simply - the actor has a gangster appearance. He doesn't even need to put on his makeup before going out on set, just a light stubble on his cheeks and steel fixation for a crooked smile.
Viewers and critics note that Zelensky is regularly invited to projects where it is necessary to portray a representative of the criminal environment. The actor himself is not particularly worried about this. The main thing is that the fees correspond to the expended strength and nerves. The list of films shot on "gangster plots" includes "Cop in law", "Love network", "Policeman's wife". Of course, the creativity of the actor is not limited to these works.
Communication with the classics
Zelensky, perhaps, would like to play a high-altitude installer or a geologist, but the directors, as if hypnotized, only take on projects that demonstrate violence, blood, murder. Eugene took a course in acting at the famous studio of Mark Rozovsky. At the start in 2015, he convincingly played a leading role in the play "Irkutsk Story". The actor's creativity was appreciated and invited to the troupe of the Theater at the Nikitsky Gate. One of the last works of Zelensky within the walls of this theater, the role of an old man in the production of "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish".
The actor's career is going well. There is no reliable information about Zelensky's personal life. Judging by indirect evidence, he must have a wife and adult children. But this information has not been confirmed. Evil tongues explain this situation by non-traditional sexual orientation. Eugene does not comment on such maxims.
