Vitorgan husband Ksenia Sobchak left her husband Maxim Vitorgan and her little son for the sake of duty to the fatherland

The spacious hall of the Gogol Center will be filled with crowds of people in three hours. They are playing the play “Closer”. One of the main roles is played by Maxim Vitorgan. Our hero appears at the door of the theater. He has a thoughtful expression on his face and slightly sad green eyes. Fear immediately arises - the conversation will not succeed. In vain. Seeing us with the photographer, Maxim smiles welcomingly. After a couple of minutes, it becomes clear: sadness is due to fatigue. This week Vitorgan has five performances, and also trains three times a week with the project Pro Trainer. The choice is made. Maxim decided to radically change himself. Or rather, your image in the cinema. To do this, he took two main steps: he changed his film agent and decided to lose weight in order to give directors and producers the opportunity to see a different person.

Is this desire for change connected with the fact that last November Maxim Vitorgan and Ksenia Sobchak had a son, Platon, or with a midlife crisis (Maxim is 44 years old), or is all this our wild imagination, and real reasons completely different? This is what we talked about.

“I never correct facts in interviews,” Maxim warned. - If a journalist managed to get something out of the hero in a conversation, then when agreeing on the text, it is dishonest to take it away from him. My wife, a journalist, taught me this.” Therefore, we publish the conversation without cuts - as it really was.

Maxim Vitorgan met with the editor-in-chief of the site at the Gogol Center

Psychologies:

You decided to change your role in cinema. How do you want to see yourself?

Maxim Vitorgan:

Cinema in significantly to a greater extent than theater, is tied to the type of actor. In cinema, it is better to be a person of average height. Then you can be “tilted” in one direction, in another, in a third. I have a certain type: I'm big. If you are big and plump, then you are a good-natured friend of the main character who wants to help him, who is always there while the main character is “sausaging”.

I existed in this form for a certain number of years, and I was tired of the same type of roles. I want to go from being an artist of lyrical comedy television series to being an artist, if you will, of auteur...serious cinema. Mostly, of course, full length. But sometimes such films come in the form of TV series.

Maybe this whole idea of ​​changing roles is my illusion. But even if it doesn’t happen, in any case, the changes I strive for will be harmonious. I want to bring into line, excuse the pathos, internal and external. Because a nervous fat man rushing around the screen is very cool, but for one time, in one particular film.

Vitorgan devotes his time to training in the “Pro.Trener” project. The choice has been made” 6–7 hours a week. According to him, the beauty of training with a personal trainer is that each time the training is varied - it is not boring. And with a coach you always do more than you could imagine.

So, there is no nervous fatty inside, but what is there then?

Over time, I became...sadder. All products deteriorate with the passage of life, and humans are apparently no exception. I’m afraid, of course, of angering God, maybe nothing will work out, but I need to earn money, and after some time I’ll come back and say: “Please give me some role, at least some TV series on STS.” . Maybe, I don't know.

If you are now invited to play a role in a comedy series, will you refuse?

I have already refused several times. Now I'm under terrible stress. There are two approximately identical states in which an artist always finds himself: “horror, how much work, a nightmare, it’s impossible to live” and “horror, there’s no work at all, a nightmare, it’s impossible to live.” I set myself a certain intermediate deadline, after which it will become clear where to move next. If my idea doesn’t work out before the end of this period, I’ll come back.

What is the reason for the desire to change something in your life?

I recently read an interview of mine from about five or six years ago. Everything I say there in the sense of self-analysis is complete nonsense. I wasn't lying at that moment. That’s just how I understood myself then. Now I understand myself differently.

I'm not going to buy myself a red open Ferrari, and I'm not even going to buy a closed one. Not to that extent. For now, anyway

What is the reason for these attempts of mine... Well, the most banal thing that, of course, comes to mind, considering that I am 44 years old, is a midlife crisis. But I can say that I don’t really feel it. I read what it should be, and, apart from the professional environment, I don’t want to change anything else in myself and in life. In general, it’s not that I was very disappointed... No, I live enough happy life, despite the fact that I am sad and nervous, my sadness is light.

I see myself from the outside, how sad I am - this is rather a slight narcissism. Actually I'm exaggerating. In fact, I have passion. I decided to make some efforts to make adjustments to my destiny, quite possibly in vain and naive. I don't deny it. Nevertheless, it somehow moves me forward. I like. I like it so far. And then we’ll see, maybe I’ll encounter great disappointment, and then we can already talk about a midlife crisis.

Recently, in response to the question of what you would choose - theater, cinema or television, you said: “I would choose theatre, but since I am the father of three children, I understand that you need to choose cinema.” Is your desire to change your role in cinema related to financial need?

There are about 60 films in my filmography. Among them there are those in which I starred for free or almost free of charge. But most of it is only because they pay. Yes, I don’t play French translated comedies in the theater in the enterprise, because I try to protect this zone. And my level of compromise in film or television is much higher. I think this is not a unique situation - many artists have this.

How do you imagine the result? What do you want to see at the end of your transformation: for roles to pour in - and mostly dramatic ones?

It is not by chance that I answer you with such general formulations. I’m somehow afraid to formulate this clearly even for myself. Because a clear formulation of the result I want to achieve leads to a clear assessment in the future. I hope that after some time I will be a lean, athletic, well-feeling man, with hair lightly touched with gray, and dancing, of course, on the deck of the yacht where this billionaire danced. Listen, isn't this a dream? I'm not going to buy myself a red open Ferrari, and I'm not even going to buy a closed one. Not to that extent. For now, anyway. Although then, maybe in 5-6 years, when I’m driving in the cockpit of my red Ferrari and read this interview, I’ll think: what nonsense I was talking...

I look at Plato and don’t really understand why I should leave home at all. He is also some kind of successful dude: calm, attentive, reasonable. It's interesting to be with him

My friend is 44 years old, he too small child. When I admired how you single-mindedly set about working on yourself, how much time you devote to training, he smiled and said: “I understand why. He runs away from home to be in silence for at least an hour.”

You know, for me it’s just the opposite. Every time I look at him, I don’t really understand why I should leave home at all. Due, apparently, to some age-related changes These are completely different sensations, not the same as they were with my older children.

First walk with Plato. In the photo are Lyudmila Narusova, Ksenia Sobchak, Vitorgan’s eldest children - Daniil (16 years old) and Polina (20 years old).

What's the difference?

Now I don’t want to tear myself away from him even for a minute. “Washing the heels” - I think this is the name of the drinking party about the birth of a child - I organized only two or three weeks after Plato’s birth. And then only under the wild pressure of friends - they shamed me. And when Danya was born, I remember that the very next day I celebrated this joyful event in a restaurant with friends. Now you keep convincing yourself to leave. He is such a lucky guy: calm, attentive, reasonable. It's interesting to spend time with him.

Often youngest child for a parent - a chance to correct some mistakes in raising elders...

I warn you right away that I will give only a general answer. I know my mistakes in raising older children and, of course, I want to correct them. But I wouldn’t like to say what exactly to fix.

Daughter Polina is an actress, she recently appeared in the play “There’s Something Missing in Borenka”, you talk a lot about her in your social networks and interviews. Where is Danya's eldest son?

My son is still in school. He's not going to be an artist.

The most unbearable and terrible thing for a parent is to see his own shortcomings in his children.

And you, probably, like any parent-actor, are happy?

I'm afraid to rejoice ahead of time. Because I remember how it happened to me in last class schools. Therefore, for now I am trying to support Danya in his other aspirations and desires. He is interested in photography, and I hope that he will be, for example, a cameraman. That would be really cool. I think this is a wonderful profession.

Are you trying not to force things?

I try to force it, put pressure in every possible way...

Are you kidding?

No, no, I'm not kidding. From time to time I try to pull myself together and push, somehow not so openly and noticeably, but somehow more sophisticated and subtle. I don’t know what will come of this, let’s see the score on the scoreboard. But he gets it from me, it's true.

Because he, of course, looks like me. Because he has my shortcomings. This is the most unbearable and terrible thing for a parent - to see his own shortcomings in his children. My inertia, disorganization, some kind of laziness - it’s all there. But, in general, I was also such a person before college, and when I found my own business, I always knew how to work later. But here, of course, it’s scary, because the person is already 16 years old. And, of course, you think: “Lord, how will he live?”

Vitorgan's eldest children are Daniil and Polina.

Aren't you so worried about Polina?

She is an independent girl already. She is very strong-willed, purposeful, and such a hard worker. And this one is a lucky man (lucky - Ed.). Everything goes into his own hands, which also really infuriates me. In some little things... Here he will stand, do nothing, someone will always come up to him and ask: “How can I help?”, feed him, give him something to drink. Danya attracts everything that is needed to her. It's called natural charm. Polina is completely different in this sense: she takes everything with difficulty. She spent two years preparing to enter college. She studied stubbornly, stubbornly, and acted cruelly. She was so... electrified at that moment. It was impossible to touch her at all.

What about parental instructions and advice?

I tried not to touch her at all. Of course, it was hard for me: to watch her worry and not take part. But this was a principled position. Even up to a certain point, I didn’t mind her not doing it. She's a girl - the army doesn't threaten her. But then, I saw how much she worked and how much she was rooting for this admission. She made me root for her with her behavior. These were difficult times, Polina went through them with pride. Until she entered the fourth year, I never took the mastery exam. I recently saw her in two performances, she’s great.

There is always a special bond between fathers and daughters. And a special concern, which usually manifests itself most clearly when the daughter grows up and, for example, introduces her boyfriend...

I also always thought that I would be terribly worried about this. But everything happened completely wrong. I wasn't worried at all. But this is Polina’s merit, because I absolutely trust her and her choice. I am calm for her and even try not to meddle in her personal life. We had some general conversations, I gave her some techniques with which men would try to win her: what they would say, what they would promise and what they would ultimately do. I'm not sure it helped her in any way, but still.

Are you a strict father?

This is a question I need to ask my children, and I'm afraid they will have two different answers. It’s difficult for me to judge for myself... Actually, probably not. I remember once, when Polina was about 10 years old, Dana was 6, we were driving in a car and I reprimanded them very strongly for something, even using profanity, which was never a ban for the sake of a ban. I always explained to them in what cases it can be used, and in what cases it should not be used, because it is unaesthetic.

So, let's go, I heatedly explain something, inserting some words. My monologue continued for a long time, and I thought that I would turn around and see such understanding eyes filled with tears. I glanced in the mirror and saw that they were sitting together, as they say, “in a split.” For every one of my “F*ck, how could you do such and such...” they can barely contain their laughter, puff themselves up so as not to laugh, and kick each other. In general, my rage made them laugh a lot. This is the kind of father I am.

You once admitted that Ksenia is very similar to your mother. Especially in the ability to encourage your man to take action. Does she motivate you in your decision to change your role?

Yes, but it always acts indirectly. Here's an example. The number of clothes that Ksenia bought me over the four years of marriage is easy to count. She never tells me, “Wear this or that,” unless I ask. Moreover, she asks me what to wear. But in some mysterious way, without saying it directly, she made me not only get carried away by what I was wearing. I just didn't pay attention to it at all before. At all. And now I’ve started to somehow monitor this. I don’t know how she managed to introduce this “stranger” into my body.

It's the same with everything else. Ksenia is an active person, she takes on everything with enthusiasm, and, of course, you can’t really relax when you’re around her. I try my best to relax on the sofa, but at some point I myself feel awkward and think: “Well, what am I doing, I have to do something.” But all this is entirely indirect.

I know my worth, I see how Ksenia treats me. She doesn't accept any important decision without me: not at all household level, not at work

Has Ksenia herself changed during the time you’ve been together?

Of course she has changed. She became softer, calmer... I just don’t really understand how I should evaluate this myself - whether these changes occurred in connection with me or not. But the changes are visible, and probably more visible from the outside. Let people judge.

You admitted that you do not compete with Ksenia professionally. However, when you were offered to play together in Philip Grigoryan’s play “Marriage,” you were against it. Out of fear that she has entered your territory?

Look, if I had this kind of fear, I would have been in the morgue a long time ago. My wife, after all, Ksenia Sobchak, is an extremely bright, versatile person who grabs hold of everything. If this scared me, I would have finished already. I know my worth, I see how Ksenia treats me. She does not make a single important decision without me: neither at the everyday level, nor at work. In this sense we have complete harmony. It seems to everyone from the outside: “Poor thing, how is he doing?” I was against Ksenia’s participation in the play, because I think that acting in the theater (not in cinema!) is the lot of people who do it professionally.

But did she do well?

Yes, that's true. It turned out well because there was a confluence of several very subtle circumstances. This is also connected with the style of the performance, where the school is performance, not residence. Where she must clearly perform the mise-en-scène, speak the text clearly, she has a built-in role. But in terms of clarity, she has no problems. She is a hardworking and responsible person. She was very out of place in this performance. But she won’t try or do anything else.

Financially unequal marriage When a wife earns more than her husband, this is a fairly common situation today. But it still causes a lot of controversy. You and Ksenia - role model for many, because you can do it. How?

You just have to do your job - this is very important for a man. Not to earn money, but to do business. Ksenia, even if she wanted to present me with something, some kind of material claims, she would not be able to. Because my answer is always simple: I do my job, I am an actor and this is how I make a living. It’s like this for me, you can live with me at this moment or not - it’s your decision. I would like you to live, of course. And I, of course, understand that you need more. So I go and earn a little more money here, and here. I wouldn't have gone to this movie without you. And without children I would go even less. But I earn money from my profession. When things are like this in a man’s life with work, then there will be absolute harmony in the family.

Many perceived you first as “Vitorgan’s son,” now as “Sobchak’s husband.” How do you feel about this?

I don’t feel anything about this. I'll explain the diagram. Imagine throwing a stone into the water. Concentric circles form around it on the surface of the water. This stone is me. I stand in the center, and these circles spread out around me. The wider the circle, the more people it's captivating. Accordingly, the widest circle is the circle of people into whose lives I entered as Sobchak’s husband, a narrower circle as Vitorgan’s son, an even narrower circle as Quartet I, an even narrower circle as the theater, and so on.

The narrower the circle, the closer people are to me. Therefore, people who say: “Who is he there? He is Sobchak’s husband”... Well, first of all, it’s true, you can’t argue. Secondly, this characterizes them, not me. Only this circle reached them - the widest one. These people live such a life that neither Vitorgan, nor Quartet I, nor cinema, nor theater reached them. They live in an information field where they know who Sobchak is and that she got married. And these people are not mine target audience. I don't really care what they think about me. I never encounter them anywhere: neither in the theater, nor in the cinema, nor in the family.

A fragment of the play “There’s Something Missing in Borenka” on the air of the “Evening Urgant” program, Channel One

In the play “There’s Something Missing in Borenka,” your hero has a dream where he is told that he is not successful, lethargic and indecisive. Are you familiar with similar experiences?

Of course, like all of us. Reflection is my middle name. And I have to somehow limit myself in this matter. The first half of your life you study yourself, and the second half you put it into practice. I already know that if such a state begins, I urgently need to start doing something, and this something does not necessarily have to be related to the profession. For example, play sports, do something around the house, go somewhere. I often go to the theater, to exhibitions, to the cinema. It inspires me, I love it. But I know for sure that something needs to be done. After all, it is depression, but not paralysis yet. So let's get up and go.

I have moments when I don't want to do anything at all, and no amount of willpower helps...

Crises change with age. At your age it was exactly the same for me. The crisis was due to the fact that you don’t want to do anything. But at my age everything is different. You do what you have to, live, move, and this state remains with you. Maybe it would be nice to say to yourself: “Fuck it, I’m not going anywhere today.” Thank God I have fresh air, small child, food, cinema. As Oscar Wilde wrote: “Simple joys are the last refuge of complex natures.”

What do you answer her?

Same as for you. I went.

Two years ago, a joyful event occurred in the family of Maxim Vitorgan - the couple had a son, Plato. Today star parents, apparently, did not organize a magnificent celebration for this occasion, but celebrated their son’s birthday in a narrow family circle. On Ksenia’s Instagram, in addition to the hero of the occasion and his dad, the TV presenter’s mother Lyudmila Narusova also appeared. She, sitting on the floor, happily played with her grandson.

It is unknown what his parents and grandmother gave little Plato, but a room in the house star family was decorated quite festively. Platon clearly really liked the confetti, balloons and other inflatable toys - although he was photographed in profile, it was clear that he was smiling.

Two years ago this man in balloons made me a man. Thanks to the best dad in the world, Maxim, for this happiness!

— 37-year-old Sobchak wrote on her Instagram.

And 46-year-old Maxim Vitorgan, who has two more children from his first marriage, published a touching black and white video in his Instagram stories of Ksenia and Plato riding wooden horses.

An army of fans of Ksenia and Maxim also joined in the congratulations, but Internet users noted that they would really like to finally see Plato’s face - after all, he always appears in photographs of his parents exclusively from such angles that it is impossible to really see him.

Like Ksenia Sobchak in a recent interview with Regina Todorenko, when she found out that she would become the mother of a boy... she burst into tears. But she did it out of happiness.

I cried more when I found out that I would have a son, because I really wanted a son. I understood that I didn’t need to program myself... We were on vacation. The doctor called me and said that the gender of the baby was already known,” she said.

Maxim Vitorgan - Russian actor and stage director.

Biography of Maxim Vitorgan

Maxim Vitorgan born on September 10, 1972 in Moscow, in a family of famous Soviet actors Emmanuel Vitorgan and Alla Balter. Since childhood, I was surrounded by a society of actors and directors, so I immediately decided that I would follow in the footsteps of my parents. Maxim was a mediocre student at school, but graduated without problems and entered GITIS, where he first felt the joy of studying.

In 1993, he graduated from the theater school, after which he was immediately accepted into the Moscow Theater for Young Spectators.

In 1999 he moved to the Lenkom Theater, and two years later - to the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov.

At the same time, he is busy in the theater.

Personal life of Maxim Vitorgan

In the early 90s, Maxim Vitorgan met the Youth Theater actress Victoria Verberg, with whom he worked on the same stage, and soon married her. From this marriage, the actor had a son, Daniel (2000), and a daughter, Polina (1996). Soon after the birth of the second child, the marriage broke up, and Vitorgan left for another woman.

The second time he married marketer Natalya, who took his last name. This marriage did not last long; there were no children.

In 2013, Maxim Vitorgan married Ksenia Sobchak. Their acquaintance took place at the “Swamp rallies”, when Sobchak was still having an affair with the oppositionist Yashin. Therefore, the wedding came as a surprise to everyone, although according to relatives, it had been prepared for a month. Sobchak and Vitorgan got married in the strictest secrecy on February 1, 2013 at the registry office on Leninsky Prospekt. Lyudmila Narusova called the ceremony “anti-glamorous.” Ksenia Sobchak did not want to attract the attention of journalists, so only young people and their parents were present at the registry office.

In June 2019, it became known that Vitorgan and Sobchak filed for divorce. The spouses separated without mutual claims or division of property.

Ninidze that he and Vitorgan are connected by something more than just friendship. However, on Ninidze’s birthday, July 13, Maxim published a tender photo with the actress on his Instagram microblog, where she is. A week later, it turned out that Ninidze and Vitorgan were vacationing together in Odessa in the company of Maxim’s friend and colleague in the films “Quartet I” -. The actors themselves did not share their social networks photos together, but hinted several times with their publications that they were vacationing in Odessa together.

On July 24, Nino and Maxim went out together for the first time as a couple. The actors attended the premiere of the film "" at the Strelka Institute. According to eyewitnesses, Nino and Maxim behaved very modestly, did not hold hands and tried to avoid cameras.

She began her television career with the role of presenter on the TV show “Dom-2”, then began appearing in other projects. Ksenia Sobchak's husband met her on one of the programs, hosted by the girl.

Acquaintance

Ksenia Sobchak's husband Maxim Vitorgan saw his first future wife on a television project, where he came with his girlfriend. Ksenia hosted the program where the couple met, not yet suggesting that in the future their relationship would lead to marriage. Intersecting during work, meeting at opposition rallies, which Ksenia did not miss at that time, the young people realized that they always wanted to be together. Maxim proposed to Ksenia, according to all the rules, kneeling and presenting a ring, to which the girl replied: “Yes.” No one knew that the lovers had decided to get married, not even the closest friends of the young couple. The wedding was kept in the strictest confidence; before the ceremony, they even changed the registry office where they were going to sign, because it became known about a leak of information to the yellow press.

Wedding

The wedding ceremony took place in secret, as planned. The newlyweds announced their decision to get married and the wedding that had already taken place to the public during the premiere of the film in Moscow, when everyone present thought that they were invited to the premiere, and not to celebrate the wedding. The news that Maxim Vitorgan is now the husband of Ksenia Sobchak, photos from the wedding, shocked the public. Rumors immediately spread that the marriage was of convenience, Ksenia needed this marriage to assert herself in the status of a married woman, and Maxim coveted his wife’s fortune. But days fly by, years fly by, and the couple is together and has no intention of leaving. Premieres, exhibitions, work, careers - everything goes on as usual for the Vitorgan-Sobchak couple, and all the gossip fades away without finding confirmation.

Children

No matter how hard journalists try, they have not yet been able to see the prominent belly under Ksenia’s outfits. Sobchak always answers evasively about whether the couple plans to have children: “We don’t plan yet, and we don’t know when we want to.” Maxim Vitorgan has children from his first marriage - a son and a daughter, so will he give birth to another child? current wife, not important. For now, the couple is arranging their life, visiting social events, travels and devotes himself to work. The family's recent acquisition - an apartment - according to Maxim's father, Emmanuel Vitorgan, includes a children's room. This fact further fueled the curiosity of journalists, but no one has yet been able to get to the bottom of the truth. Remembering the TV personality’s past statements, we can conclude that she is not going to become a mother, but these words were heard in the past, before marriage. Now life has changed, Ksenia Sobchak has become a married and sedate lady. A husband and children are the main values ​​and meaning of women’s happiness, as the former scandalous blonde is now convinced of from her own experience. Therefore, nothing unusual will happen if the couple suddenly announces that the child has already been born. Repeating the experience with a secret wedding will, of course, be more difficult by hiding the pregnancy, but with a strong desire, such an operation can be carried out.
