Fedor Dobronravov is a wonderful actor endowed with tremendous talent. Despite the huge number of roles played, fame and popular love for him did not come immediately. Popularity was brought to him by the multi-part motion picture "Matchmakers".
The small homeland of the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation is Taganrog. Was born in the first half of September, in 1961. It happened in an ordinary working-class family that had nothing to do with cinema. But, despite this, since childhood, Fedor was drawn to everything related to creativity. He constantly performed on stage and performed songs.
Fedor Viktorovich did not dream of an acting career. He wanted to be a clown. And in his biography there was a place for circus numbers, which he staged and performed independently. This happened during performances at the Summer Theater.
Fedor realized that good physical shape was needed. Otherwise, it will be impossible to build a circus career. And no one will take it to the school. Therefore, he regularly played sports. Mostly played team games: basketball, volleyball, football. I also attended the boxing section and jumped from the tower into the water. By the way, Fedor has a sports category in jumping.
Having received a certificate, Fedor Viktorovich went to the capital of Russia to get a circus education. However, he could not enter. The thing is that the school took only those who served in the army. Fyodor showed persistence and went to serve. Due to good physical fitness and high growth, he served in the ranks of the Airborne Forces.
Theater life
Returning from the army, Fedor decided to postpone his circus career for a while. He got a job at the factory, because I had to help the family. I had to work as an electrician, repair equipment, and sweep yards. However, the desire to connect his life with the circus has not disappeared anywhere. Fedor made two attempts to enter, and both were unsuccessful.
Unable to achieve what he wanted, the popular actor decided to enter the Institute of Arts, which was located in Voronezh. I coped with the exams quite successfully, thanks to which I was enrolled in the ranks of students on the first try. After completing his studies, Fedor got a job at the Youth Theater. He performed on the stage of this institution for several years.
Perhaps our hero would continue to work at the Youth Theater. But everything changed after the arrival of Arkady Raikin. He not only noticed a talented man, but also invited him to work at Satyricon. Fedor performed on the stage of this theater for 10 years.
Fedor also has his own production center, which is named after him. The debut project was the production of "Freaks", in which the honored artist played nine characters at once.
Success in cinematography
He made his debut on set in 1993. Fedor Viktorovich got a minor role in the film project "Russian Ragtime". Then there were a few more roles. Fedor starred in both humorous projects and action films. Often he got used to the image of dramatic characters.
Despite the large number of roles played, fame came to him only after the publication of the multi-part project "Matchmakers". Fans saw Fedor in the form of the charismatic hero Ivan Budko.
Filming in a multi-part project, Fedor acted not only as a leading character. He independently performed the composition, which was called "Where the maple rustles." Together with him acted actress Anna Koshmal, who for the sake of this scene learned to play the guitar. By the way, Fedor himself taught her this. The lessons took place right during the filming.
In 2002, a significant event happened. A popular man became an Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. A few years later he was awarded the title of People's Artist of Russia.
In 2012, the artist appeared in the TV program "Two Stars", in which his partner was Leonid Agutin. Together they managed to take the first position.
In 2013, the next season of the popular multi-part project "Matchmakers" was published. In the same year, he starred in the movie "Exchange Brothers", in which he played two characters at once. The twins had a chance to play in the continuation of the film project.
In 2015, Fedor starred in the movie "Wonderland". Then there was work on the creation of the film "The End of a Beautiful Epoch". A year later, fans could see Fedor's excellent acting in projects such as "Temptation" and "Photographer".
In 2017, the talented actor starred in 5 films at once. You can see him in such projects as "Midshipmen-1787", "Once Upon a Time", "Crown of the Empress", "Crimea", "Force Majeure". Perhaps, soon the fans will be able to see their favorite again in the role of Ivan Budko.
Off-set success
In the personal life of Fyodor Dobronravov, everything is going well. His wife's name is Irina. They met in childhood, because studied at the same school. They have been living together for over 20 years. In 1983, the firstborn was born. The son was named Victor. After another 6 years, Irina gave birth to her second son - Ivan.
Both guys followed in the footsteps of their talented father by becoming actors. Fedor Viktorovich actively participates in the life of his sons, helps them with advice, suggests how best to play in a particular episode. And if children are filmed in dangerous episodes, Fedor is present on the set.
Fyodor Viktorovich has grandchildren. In 2010, Varya was born, and after another 6 years Vasilisa. The eldest son Victor became the father of both girls.
Recently, rumors about Fyodor Dobronravov's illness have been increasingly appearing in the press. And on some resources, it is said about the death of a popular actor. But all these rumors have nothing to do with reality. Perhaps this reaction was caused by the words of the actor about the Maidan and Crimea.
