Maxim Drozd

Maxim Drozd on the set of the film "Parent's Day"

Maxim Drozd, who not so long ago starred in the new version of the film "The Dawns Here Are Quiet", was taken to the Airborne Forces due to his youthful hobby. While still in school, he started boxing and eventually became a master of sports. A fit and strong guy was identified as a paratrooper. After the service, Drozd made his dream come true and entered the theater, and the army experience was more than once useful to him in the acting profession ...

The actor is grateful to fate, which gave him the opportunity to try many professions.

30.04.2016, 07:45

He can be safely called one of the most sought-after actors in modern Russian cinema. He is successfully given both comedic and dramatic roles. There are already more than 130 of them! STS recently successfully launched a new series "Eternal Vacation", where Jan Tsapnik plays the father of the main character. And in May, viewers will see another sitcom on the same channel with the participation of this actor - "Pushkin".

On the way to an acting career, Ian changed several professions - from a handball player to a pastry chef - and even managed to serve in the airborne troops.

In an interview that the performer of the main roles in the films "Bitter!" China.

GOOD POLICE OFFICER

- Jan, tell us, where are you filming now?

- They are shooting the series "Pushkin", where I play a police major. My hero loves his job very much. This is a native of the Soviet Union. And the concept of honor and what is good and what is bad has been hammered into it from the school bench. This is how he differs from many young heroes who are also present in the picture. But when this whole story with Pushkin is twisted ( In the film, this is not a poet, but a pickpocket - Approx. ed.), played by the wonderful actor Sasha Molochnikov, then fate and life begin to make their own adjustments. The major becomes more flexible and even kind ... I look forward to the release of the wonderful picture "Partner", in which Seryozha Garmash, Ksenia Lavrova-Glinka, Lizochka Arzamasova and others also play. The whole film has not yet been assembled, since there is a lot of computer work there. But I hope it will turn out to be a bright and good movie. And soon I will start filming in the Ice project.

ZIGZAGS OF FATE

- It is known that you have a very difficult biography: first sports, then special forces, and then a theater institute. Why such a spread, what is it connected with?

- Come on, I'll tell you in order, and you will understand everything. My dad is an actor and my mom is an athlete. Therefore, my mother dreamed that I would become an actor, and my father - an athlete. ( Smiling.) And I did not have my childhood in the usual performance: I played the violin in a music school, then in the theater - the role of boys, until I grew out of all the costumes. Then he studied at the School of the Olympic Reserve, became a master of sports in handball and played in the reserve league. I wanted to enter the Lesgaft Institute of Physical Culture and Sports, to become a coach. But at that time I already had various injuries, and I understood that professional sports would not bring me to good. I worked as a third-class pastry chef at a garment factory for the deaf and dumb, it also came in handy in my life ... Yes, I have studied many professions! I even wanted to become a pilot. But since I studied in a sports class and in the last two years was only six months at school, and spent the rest of the time in competitions, there could be no question of passing mathematics and other subjects perfectly. Therefore, apart from the theatrical institute, I had no other road. ( Smiling.) So I went there, and even before the army, in 1985. And after the second year he left to serve.

- And then, when you served, recovered?

- Not certainly in that way. It turned out that I drove through Peter and the chief of the patrol "got to the bottom" of my paratrooper uniform. He got in the chest, and I had to get away with my legs. And when I was running along Mokhovaya, I saw a theater institute. And I thought: why should I go to Sverdlovsk, where my course is already finishing its studies, when it is possible to study here? As I was in uniform, I went to college. And I was lucky: the master said that he was gaining a great course. I was offered to read something. I remembered the program with which I entered for the first time, read all the same. The master asked me to play the instrument, and there was just a violin ... So they took me.

"THE ACTOR IS A MAN, NOT AN ANSWERING MACHINE"

- As far as I understand, you were a consultant when creating the image of the paratrooper stepfather in the film "Bitter". After all, you know firsthand what landing troops are.

- Well, a consultant - it says loudly. But the people who wrote the script did not serve in the special forces. And sometimes the director and one of the screenwriters Andrei Nikolaevich Pershin - aka Zhora Kryzhovnikov - allowed me to add something of my own.

- For example?

- Oh, now I don’t remember everything. One of the jokes that I suggested: "The main one did not open - don’t pull the spare." It's about a parachute. This is all from the army, from my life!

- Do you miss the army days?

- People always miss their youth. Then I was young and it was great and comfortable for me to live. And in the army I fulfilled my duty to the Motherland, which I am still proud of.

- In general, do you often propose to bring something into the script, into your characters?

- I am still a pupil of the old school - I served 14 years at the Bolshoi Drama Theater of St. Petersburg, where I had five main roles and six reprimands for carelessness. I believe that an artist is primarily a person, not an answering machine! True, there are some: they wrote to him, he learned and went. But this is not my way! Yes, I offer directors hundreds and even thousands of different options, and they already say: this is necessary, and this is not. Fortunately, the directors put up with this, and I am very grateful to them for that. This is the real actor, not the answering machine.

FAVORITE CHINA

- Yan, you are in great demand now, and of course, most of the time is taken by shooting. But at least sometimes there are weekends? What are you doing on these days?

- Of course, I have days off. But they often pass away from the family and look something like this: you will sleep in a hotel until one o'clock, getting enough sleep the whole previous week. You get up - your head hurts. Get dressed, go out for a snack. Then you return to the hotel, read the script, watch a good movie on your tablet, and go to bed.

- And the vacation?

- And on vacation, which usually falls from December 25 to January 14, we go to China with the whole family. We rest, swim, go for massage and acupuncture.

- And why exactly to China?

- My wife is an orientalist, candidate of sciences, knows Chinese. So for our family, China is our everything!

- And when did you go there for the first time?

- In 2007. And when I saw South China, I was cultured! High-speed roads, trains running at 400 kilometers per hour or more. Quality goods - whatever they say. And man is a brother to man. There are a lot of nationalities and cultures ... China can be studied for a lifetime. With every trip I discover something new in it. This is amazing!

HOBBIES

- In one interview you said that part of the first fee was spent on the purchase of tin soldiers. Do you keep collecting them?

- No, I don't collect them anymore. I love edged weapons, knives. I love to shoot very much. True, now I rarely do this, as with age, I began to see worse. I love the sea. If possible, I always go somewhere to fly, steer.

- That is, you yourself sit at the helm?

- Exactly. At the helm of an airplane and a helicopter. To plant them, however, no one gives me. But as a co-pilot I fly. And I get incredible pleasure.

DAUGHTER

- And your daughter Liza, in whose footsteps does she want to follow: in yours or in her mother's?

- She took all the best from both my mother and me. Mom knows languages ​​well - and her daughter speaks English and French well. And from me Liza took my "trouble": she goes to the theater studio. In the movie, however, has not yet been filmed, but in China they say very well on this score: "Nothing happens sooner or later - everything always happens on time."

- And how old is Lisa?

- 14. She was born on May 16. And I congratulate her every month on the 16th. It doesn't matter where she is on this day, flowers are always delivered to her from me. Recently she came from St. Petersburg with classmates to Moscow. And then she stayed with me for a few more days. And a bouquet of flowers was already waiting for her in my hotel.
