Ivan Zhidkov was born on August 28, 1983 in the city of Yekaterinburg. At the age of 9, he moved to Kaliningrad with his parents. Growing up in a family of businessmen, the future actor had a fairly practical outlook on life and was preparing to enter the Ural University. Polytechnical Institute. But fortune made its own adjustments, thanks to which fans are constantly looking for last news 2017 about the personal life and career of Ivan Zhidkov.

Noticing a beautiful pretty face young man, he was invited to appear in a commercial for a computer store. Due to the success that filming brought to Ivan Zhidkov, his father recommended that he reconsider his career aspirations and try his hand at acting.


Having listened to the opinion of his parent, whom he looked up to all his life, Ivan, after graduating from school in 2000, went to preparatory courses in theater arts. And having arrived in the capital, the first time he entered the Moscow Art Theater School, under the leadership of Evgeniy Kamenkovich. Ivan fully revealed his creative potential, becoming one of the top five best and most promising students. Therefore, no one was surprised by the fact that he successfully completed his studies.

Work in the theater

Oleg Tabakov, the legendary founder of the Tabakerka theater, could not help but draw attention to talented actor. Soon he invited Ivan to work. Very often Tabakov compared Zhidkov with Sergei Bezrukov - one of best actors Russia over the past 10 years.

It was in “Snuffbox” that the young actor played his debut role in the play “The Last”. This success paved the way for further growth. After the debut, Zhidkov was invited by Tabakov to the Chekhov Theater to play the main role in the play “Yu”, where Ivan played Dmitry.

Ivan Zhidkov with his daughter

Happy married couple lived in perfect tandem. They often starred together in films and TV series and talked Interesting Facts from his family life and established traditions. But in 2014, an unexpected event happened. The family of popular actors broke up, but neither Tatyana nor Ivan focused on their divorce. Despite the fact that the young people began to live separately, they settled next door to raise their daughter together and not deprive her of mutual parental attention.

New novels

Ivan Zhidkov never advertised his personal life, so in 2017 the latest news is not full of variety. But unconfirmed rumors began to appear among media publications that after the divorce the actor again began dating Ekaterina Semenova, a beautiful and charming beauty with whom he had a short affair in student years.

In the early spring of 2015, Zhidkov himself attracted public attention to his personal life by announcing his serious relationship with Liliya Solovyova. The actor met a 23-year-old student on a social network, and after some time their relationship developed into a romantic one despite the almost ten-year age difference.

Ivan Zhidkov now

Despite the fact that some fans of Ivan Zhidkov began to think about how the birth of a son would affect the relationship between Ivan and his daughter from his first marriage, Lydia dispelled all doubts. Maria and Lydia have known each other for a long time and get along well. They go shopping together and often spend weekends together, because Tatyana Arntgolts tries to maintain friendly and close relations with Ivan. Tatyana and Ivan understand perfectly well what they have common child, which bound them together for life. Therefore, they try to be loyal and adequate to each other’s new personal lives, without showing jealousy or causing scandals.

I radically reconsidered my attitude towards marriage. Therefore, he is extremely honest with his new lover and does not promise her anything.

– Vanya, for some time now you have been living outside the city. Has your dream come true?

– You can say so. I lived in Moscow for 16 years, ten of them in the center. But I always wanted to get away from the noise, crazy pollution, and the ubiquitous Internet... Now I live in amazing place. Our cottage village located very close to the city, but at the same time there is peace and grace. It is surrounded by greenery, surrounded by ancient trees instead of fences, although it is well guarded.

– A young man from Yekaterinburg quite quickly managed to earn himself not only bread and butter, but also housing?

– I just know how to save ( smiling).

– I can envy your determination...

– A long time ago, I came up with the concept of “vectoring” - where you are moving. A person with the right vector, developing, is closer to happiness. As they say, if you do nothing, fate will fall on you.

– The main thing is not to lose along the way the ability to be surprised, sincerity and, at least within reasonable limits, uncompromisingness and honesty.

– With age, we acquire a shell of cynicism and life experience, we understand everything and don’t trust anyone. Relatively speaking, I know that the sky is blue and the grass is green, and I no longer attach importance to what surrounds me. For me, life is peace, harmony, joy, childish delight. The further we are from all this, the further we are from ourselves. For example, you set yourself a goal in a year to be in certain place. And it’s as if you turn on rewind mode, you stop noticing everything that is not related to this goal. A man has traveled from point A to point B, but if you ask him what he saw along the way, he cannot answer anything. We constantly think, not feel. We tell ourselves: “If I get this project or buy this house, I will be the happiest.” This is where it lies main mistake. The happiness that everything worked out for you lasts 10–15 minutes, and then some “buts” appear. So you can only be happy here and now, there is no other time and there never will be!

– You give the impression of an emotional person...

– Emotionality and emotionality are different. In the profession - one, in life - another. Who doesn’t know: “You rejoice, you suffer, that means you live!”, but I personally prefer peace. Now I lead a lifestyle more typical of older people, and I get a great thrill from it (laughs).

- What do you have in mind?

– For example, I have a strict regime. If I go out to parties, I try not to stay later than ten in the evening. When there is no filming, Lilya and I are already asleep at eleven. We get up at seven or eight in the morning. It's not because I'm such a "boring cupcake" - I just like to feel good. Besides, the earlier you wake up, the more you get done.

– Is your girlfriend happy with this lifestyle?

– I’m completely shocked by Lily. She is eight years younger than me, but she has never dragged me to a disco or club. I see that a measured lifestyle suits her quite well. She doesn't get on my nerves, for which I am very grateful to her. I give everything I can, but if I feel the veins start to be pulled out of me, it will all end. I need to be accepted as I am. A woman should fill my life with light, so I run headlong from those who are prone to depression.

– The story of your acquaintance with Lilya is amazing...

- Absolutely. I don't know why we met. It just happened that way. I don’t promise anything, but I feel responsible and try to make her feel good.

– Did sympathy arise between you immediately?

– No, everything happened gradually.

Ivan Zhidkov and Liliya Solovyova

- But a month later you were already living together...

“I had nothing to lose, and I decided: as it will be, so it will be.” Lilya is a grown-up free girl, and even with tattoos (laughs). So she didn’t need my mother’s permission to live with me.

– You have said more than once that you and Tanya Arntgolts are very different. What about Lily?

- And with Lily too.

– So, after all, opposites attract?

– The phrase “We got divorced because we are different” is a banal excuse. The love is simply gone, and in this case there must be a very serious incentive to preserve the family.

-You have changed a lot over the years. last couple years?

“I’ve definitely become calmer.” And I realized one thing: when you have a very strong, self-sufficient girl who works all the time, she will never have time for you and her family. I'm talking not so much about Tanya, but about the format of relationships in general. It's nice to return home, where you will be surrounded with warmth and care. Three years have passed since we broke up. Tanya has her own life, I have mine. But the biggest shock was not that Vanya and Tanya ran away, but that the family fell apart. And of course, my faith in the inviolability of the family was shaken. I realized that marriage is not necessarily forever. Although I know examples where people lived together for a hundred years, it is true that there were such relationships that such a family would rot in hell. Against this background, a macho man who changes girls like gloves is an honest man.

– Are you ready to do this yourself?

– I’m still a good guy (laughs)– I don’t want to hurt people. Besides, I know what it's like. It happened that women hurt me just to stroke their pride.

– Why do you think this happened to you? Maybe you allowed this to happen to you?

– When you are loved and then betrayed - how can you “allow” this?! It's amazing that people not only hurt, but even boast about it. My friend, handsome, smart guy, the girl was driven almost to suicide. And she felt pleasure from this: “Yes, I’m such a bitch, and you at least shoot yourself because of me!” I was alone for a long time precisely because I myself did not want to be in psychological dependence, and could not promise anything to another person. When this happened, I was very worried.

– Are you still vulnerable in relationships with women?

– Much less so than before.

- That is, if the same Lilya suddenly says that she is leaving you, you...

- I won’t shake. Today, I can’t imagine what a woman should do to make me pierce.

Liliya Solovyova and Ivan Zhidkov

– And after breaking up with Tanya, you went to doctors for a year. Have you ever had depression?

– I can’t call it depression. My mood was normal, but physically I was falling apart. Our thoughts and feelings are very closely related to health. Stress, disharmony, envy, anger, irritability directly affect physical condition person. Evil people I don’t envy them - they eat themselves.

– Talking about your illness, you once said that in all 32 years you have never felt either support or care from your loved ones...

– Indeed, I did not have direct support in the form that everyone is used to. Perhaps because I have been living on my own for a long time.

- Now you have warm relations with parents?

- Normal.

– You yourself already have a daughter. Do you communicate often?

– My daughter means a lot to me. Taking into account the fact that we do not live together and I am constantly on the road, my participation in Masha’s life is as complete as possible. I am constantly in touch, helping as much as I can. At the age of 25, I took the birth of a child very seriously, and since then nothing has changed: this is my daughter and I am responsible for her.

Ivan Zhidkov and Liliya Solovyova

– Perhaps you are spoiling her?

– I can show severity. In general, I try to communicate with her as with a friend. Masha is smart, I find it very interesting to be with her. This year she will go to school - Tanya chose an English gymnasium.

– Does Tanya consult with you on such matters?

– Yes, we try to solve everything together. Tanya found the school without me, but I supported her choice.

– After the divorce, were there any obstacles in communicating with your daughter?

- No. There were slight disagreements in matters of education - what is possible and what is not.

Ivan Zhidkov

– Vanya, is the upcoming date “33” for you “already” or still “still”?

- Both. It’s an interesting age: you already have experience, but there’s still so much to come!

– What makes you feel high?

– Sometimes it’s just because I feel young and strong. When after morning jog I'm pouring myself in the forest cold water, I feel almost euphoric from the fact that these natural pleasures are available to me. I also like to travel by car. It's always an adventure (smiles).

– If you had a time machine, what period of your life would you go back to?

- About seventeen years old. I would sit down and talk to myself like a man.

Ivan Zhidkov from Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia

In his interview with OK! a year ago famous actor Ivan Zhidkov said that he was not ready for a new novel, but now...

Photo: Vanya Berezkin

He met Lilia quite by accident when he discovered a new social network for himself: he saw a pretty girl, wrote - and she replied...

Circumstances developed in such a way that we had to conduct a photo shoot for this material twice. The second time, we spent a long time looking for a window in the actor’s schedule: Ivan is now actively filming films, often at night, and it was not easy for him to find time. Therefore, the first thing I wanted to ask the actor was how he reacts to emergency situations.

Ivan, don’t you get annoyed when things don’t go according to plan?

Unexpected question. ( Smiles.) I try to remove all irritants from my life. Irritation is senseless self-destruction. Although here I was on my way to a meeting with you and realized that I was late because I was stuck in a traffic jam and could not do anything. You probably think that I am to blame, but I thought that everyone who was with me on the road was to blame. These are the kinds of things that sometimes infuriate me, but I still quickly calm down. Moreover, I was very lucky with a parking space. ( Smiles.) As for our re-shooting, this is part of my job. And I love work.

And are you always so calm and self-possessed at work?

Here to spend yours nerve cells completely pointless. This happens with filming: you arrive at the set early in the morning, and they only call you on camera in the evening. But I get paid for the entire shooting day, so I just do my job. I consider myself a very unpretentious artist. For example, I know that in all Russian film sets They feed me very poorly - practically once a day, and even then in such a way that it is better not to eat. Someone is always indignant about this. I never say anything, but take care of my nutrition myself: I order food from a cafe or bring it with me from home. And I’ve been living like this for five or six years now. The point is that there is always something in life that can irritate, but sometimes it is simply pointless to pay attention to it. Negative emotions completely unproductive. If you want to correct a situation, then it is better to correct it with action, and not with shouting - I think so.

You said you bring food from home. Do you cook it yourself?

I used to cook myself, but then I realized that it takes a lot of time. Now there are so many high-quality and inexpensive services in the food sector that... In general, when it comes to food, a lot has changed in our city: in cafes and restaurants you can eat for absolutely reasonable money. I also often use delivery services - both regular food and sports nutrition. But I always eat well. I think this is important.

And, apparently, you are actively involved in sports.

I'm studying. Naturally, this is not a professional sport. It would be more correct to say physical education. ( Smiling.) I run every morning, I often go to Gym.

You have filming, sports, your girlfriend, communication with your daughter... How do you distribute your time?

I have a really busy schedule right now. The point is to systematize all these things. For example, my “waking up” in the morning takes about an hour. I get up, drink a glass of water with honey, do push-ups, put on a tracksuit, run three kilometers, shower myself ice water, do yoga and then eat porridge. This is what I do every day.

In any season and in any weather?

The weather has never bothered me. As long as it doesn’t get carried away by a hurricane, it doesn’t matter at all. ( Smiles.) It’s not that this is a principled position, it’s just how I live. I listen to my body, and if I understand that it’s better not to do something, then I don’t do it. I just want to live a quality life. As you age, you have to do something to look good. You know, if you don’t take care of yourself at thirty-two years old, then you can be at all... ( Shows what you can be.) When you do something systematically, it gives lasting results. And most importantly, it brings me pleasure.

But you are not one of the fans - promoters of healthy lifestyle?

(Smiling.) First of all, I'm not perfect. Five years ago I led a completely different lifestyle. Secondly, everyone is responsible for themselves. Everyone has their own life and their own choice. In general, the best propaganda is a silent example. The results of some of your actions can become motivation for others.

It seems to me that others would rather say something like: “Oh, you’re lucky with nature...”

People say this to me very often: “Oh, you’re lucky, you’re eating like crazy.” And I usually answer this: “Yes, I’m lucky with nature.” ( Smiling.)

Does your girlfriend Lilya also go to the gym?

Now she has begun to play sports more often, otherwise it’s a shame for her, you see. And it is right. So why does she need a gym? She is still young, she is only twenty-three.

Somehow you said it like a father. Are you raising?

(Laughs.) No, I don’t educate. But this is my first time in a relationship with a girl who is much younger than me. Usually the girls were older.

What does Lilya do?

Lilya is a student. And in general, I think she is in search of herself.

But she's not an actress?

No. Her mother is a businesswoman, and she invites Lila to go into business too. But Lila is not interested in this, but she is interested in communicating with people. Perhaps it will take her in this direction.

How did you two meet?

To say “by chance” is to say nothing. I registered on the Periscope network and sat studying how it works, clicking on different links and watching broadcasts different people. And then I see: the girl is pretty. So he wrote to her: “Hello, I’m Vanya.” She answered, we talked, met - and that’s it. ( Smiles.)

She didn't recognize you then?

Oh, I don't even remember. I don't think I recognized it. Only later, when I opened Instagram, did I understand.

Have you, as a divorced person, reconsidered your views regarding relationships with girls?

You know what I was thinking here... That times have changed a lot for us. Are you looking at some happy family and you think: “Lord, they love each other so much, wow!” Then some time passes, and these same people already hate each other fiercely. That is, love is something transitory. With the advent of social networks and smartphones, a real revolution took place in the field of communications.

Is it good or bad?

It's just a fact. And the relationship between a man and a woman has also changed a lot. We, children of the Soviets, are dragging behind us the train of attitudes of that time. I look at my friends and as an example I can’t give a single one in Soviet style strong family. In our acting circles, in my opinion, there are no such people at all. Times have changed, the needs and the very concept of family have changed. A story in the spirit of “they got married and went through life together” is the exception rather than the rule, and some kind of incredible rarity. I think that my family was still... ( Thinking about it.) Tanya and I (actress Tatyana Arntgolts. - Note OK!) got married with the same mindset as our parents: together for life. But this time, this profession, this life...

...and your publicity?

And that too. Everything played its role. We parted peacefully. But now I doubt the need for family in the sense in which we are used to thinking about it. What function, following tradition, does a woman perform in the family? She cooks food, takes care of the children, her appearance and so on. Nowadays no one cooks food for a long time, and there’s nothing to say about sex - it’s basically like buying a can of cola. That is, the functions of a woman as a wife are reduced to zero. They are compensated by a completely accessible service sector. And it's the same for women. Everything is equal: women earn the same as men. Therefore, when people in a couple begin to get used to each other or they have difficulties, they think: “Why fight this? It’s better to separate and find others.”

How is your relationship with Lily?

We have honest relationship: Lilya knows that I don’t see myself in the registry office, with diapers and so on. I see myself as a self-sufficient, free person who can be in a relationship with a woman and be responsible for it - this is a different format. Marriage is a stamp, and a stamp is a rigid formality that, apart from a headache, gives nothing to anyone.

Don’t you think that this is somehow very Moscow-like and that in the regions everything is different?

I agree with you. When you live in Moscow and see all this, you think: “This is probably how the whole country lives.” But you come to other cities and realize that the country lives differently, although echoes of metropolitan life reach there too. Now I’m talking specifically about Moscow and others big cities a world where the wonders of civilization and progress seethe.

It's kind of a bleak picture. Your daughter is growing up. Aren't you scared for her?

(Shrug.) I must love my daughter. I have to help my daughter. Everything else is her life. I know families in which a “boy” my age cannot take a step without his mother. What is it? Parents who take on too much responsibility for their child do him a disservice. Because it's his life, not theirs. Parents must educate, invest correct settings and always support. And then the child must live by his own mind.

Ivan, do Lilya and Masha already know each other?

Yes, of course, I introduced them. Everything is fine here: Masha is an incredibly sociable, cheerful friend. She is now six and a half years old, and already has a strong artistic character. Starting next year she will go to music school because she has excellent hearing. It’s difficult to talk about her voice yet, it will change, but I think she also has a predisposition for vocals.

And if she wants to become an actress, will you object?

She already says herself: “Dad, I want to be an actress” - she is very interested in this. And I will respect any choice she makes; the child must make it himself. Everyone needs to mind their own business, everyone needs to find themselves. The greatest success in life is when it works out. Now it seems to me that acting or another creative profession is Mashkin’s future. And if she chooses him, I will be only happy.

What about the common fear of a silent phone?

In the acting profession, everyone is afraid of a silent phone, but in another field, probably, there is some kind of fad... There is no profession that would allow you to end up in chocolate. We all live in the same conditions.

You have now full swing filming is underway. Tell us where we will see you?

Not a single day of rest! We’re talking to you now, and this is my “sleep” day. I'm filming a film called "Karpman's Triangle" and I'm glad I was given a role in it. ( Smiling.) I play such a idiot who is driven to white heat, and in the end he takes a sawn-off shotgun and turns into a predator. Plus, I’ll soon be going to Kyiv to film a new romantic comedy.

Are you not playing in the theater yet?

I haven’t played in the theater for a long time... I recently started playing in an enterprise, and I love it so much! I travel around the country, meet with spectators, and, you know, some people love me very much. ( Smiling.)

Wow, recently one actor in our conversation with him scolded the enterprise...

What is an enterprise? This is a commercial performance. And some commercial performances are good, and some are not so good. It’s just that some people view entrepreneurial ventures as an easy way to make money, and then an incomprehensible product is made. I was faced with this - I had to leave. In general, the enterprise, in my opinion, is the most wonderful format in which everything can be done very efficiently and with dignity.

You seem to take everything lightly. Have you never given up?

There was such a thing. I will soon be thirty-three years old. I started my adult life quite early: at the age of sixteen I left my father’s house and began to live on my own. And of course, there were thoughts that maybe it would be better to change profession and do something else. But in the end I realized that I was doing what I was supposed to do. This is my business, I can do it. And I can do it.

Probably, basking in attention, making a goat out of me (all posts indirectly, indirectly, tell you how bad I am) is more important than family. I answer you, I did everything I could for the family, first for her, then for myself. Lily has no inhibitions, she doesn’t understand what happened. I will not return to her, I do not have an iron psyche. I'll give my son everything I can. She doesn't. If you are a woman with a child, you are allowed a lot, but not everything.”
