The idol of millions of domestic theater and film lovers - Stanislav Duzhnikov - is a rather unique actor, whose role certainly does not fit the concept of a Hollywood superhero with a snow-white smile. Rather, the wording "his boyfriend" or "good-natured fat man" suits him. And the ocean of his spiritual warmth always makes his fans plunge into a kind of comfortable state, when all problems seem insignificant, and the outside world is rosy and friendly.
Currently, Stanislav Mikhailovich Duzhnikov is at the peak of his popularity and continues to play the role of Leni in the popular sitcom Voronin. And in 2017, the actor's professional portfolio was replenished with films in the nineteenth season of the Voronins, the mystical drama Nevsky Piglet and the comedy Grafomania.
Brief biography of Stanislav Duzhnikov
On May 17, 1973 in the main city of Mordovia in a family far from the world of culture and art (father is a surgeon and mother is a pediatrician), the future popular artist was born. The serene adolescence after the divorce of parents in the village of Staroye Shaigovo with hiking in the fresh air for mushrooms and berries took place under the supervision of grandmother Anastasia Fyodorovna.
It is interesting that Stas got on the stage of the school drama circle only through employment as a labor force, because the teenager was very large, strong and could not refuse a request for help. And then there was the role of the stepmother in the production of "Cinderella" and a genuine interest in acting.
After receiving a certificate of secondary education, Duzhnikov could not enter the Kazan Institute of Culture due to lack of knowledge of the Tatar language, while in the year of his admission, students were recruited specifically for the local drama theater. Then he returned to Saransk and entered the directing department at the local school of culture. However, after the first year Stanislav realized that there could be no prospects for a fruitful creative career. And he, interrupting his studies, went to conquer the capital of our Motherland.
In Moscow, the future actor showed remarkable ability to adapt to the conditions of a metropolis and an amazing sense of purpose. After all, he had not only to survive, but even to send money to his parents. And "Pike" accepted him as a student only on the fourth attempt, when he was already studying at the Moscow Institute of Contemporary Art. In 1998 he successfully graduated from a theater university (course of Evgeny Knyazev) and began his creative career.
Creative career of an artist
From 1998 to 2000, Stanislav Mikhailovich worked in the troupe of the Gogol Theater, where he participated in a number of performances as minor characters. And since 1999, he has already begun to gain invaluable experience in entreprise productions, in which he made his debut from the stage of the then newly created "Factory of theatrical events" under the leadership of Mikhail Goreviy and Mikhail Efremov.
Since 2001, the novice actor has appeared on the stage of the Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Theater for eight years, where he received a real formation as an actor and received worthy recognition from the theatrical community. And from 2009 to the present, Stanislav Duzhnikov regularly appears on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater named after A. P. Chekhov, where he was invited by Oleg Tabakov. Here, in parallel with filming a movie, today he continues to delight his fans with his theatrical talent. Among the most successful projects with his participation, it is worth highlighting the "Marriage" by Gogol (Podkolesin's character) and the production of "Prima Donna" (the image of Myers).
In 1995, the aspiring actor made his cinematic debut when he was still a student at a theater university. The episodic role in the film "The Young Lady-Peasant" became the first in a series of subsequent minor characters in other film projects.
And the real success came to the actor immediately after the release of the rating film "DMB", where he played the sloven "Bomb". This film work was followed by proposals from domestic directors who wanted to see such a unique and characteristic actor in their projects. So, in 2001 he took part in the comedy "Down House", and a year later - in the detective series "Kamenskaya 2".
Currently, the filmography of Stanislav Mikhailovich Duzhnikov has dozens of films, among which the greatest audience sympathy was received for his roles in the film projects "All that we dreamed of for so long", "Truckers", "Stop on demand", "How I complain about life", "Pushkin. Poetry in the 37's”,“Persona non grata”,“Chasing an Angel”,“Friday 12”,“From Love to Kohann”,“Good Bad Day”and“Games for Adults”.
Personal life
Behind the shoulders of the family life of Stanislav Duzhnikov today there are two marriages and one child. The first wife of the actor was his colleague in the creative department, Christina Babushkina, whom he met at his friend's birthday party. However, the acting duo entered into a relationship only after a year and a half. And in 2007 they had a daughter.
Since the couple worked in the same theater and, in the opinion of many colleagues, they seemed to be an ideal couple, the news of the breakdown of relations between them in 2010 was unexpected for everyone. According to Stanislav and Kristina, their passion "passed." Currently, the actors are raising their daughters together and are on friendly terms.
Today Stanislav Duzhnikov is in a civil marriage with Katerina Volga, who is a designer and florist.
Interestingly, at the end of 2016, the popular actor lost about sixty kilograms, so that his weight was about 160 kg with a height of 191 cm. Stanislav himself explains this result with a balanced diet and diligent physical education. Moreover, he does not sit on any diets, but simply eats a variety of foods, controlling the content of fats, proteins and carbohydrates in food.
