Actor Sergei Bezrukov was married to actress Irina Bezrukova, and this state of affairs seemed unshakable for 15 long years.

In 2015, news of the divorce of one of the most beautiful couples Russian cinema amazed fans. The reason for Sergei's departure was new love. He went to the director and producer, playwright and screenwriter Anna Matison.

From journalist to director

Anna Matison was born in Irkutsk in 1983. Her mother was a famous Irkutsk journalist.

Anna loved mathematics very much as a child, and assumed that her life would be connected with this subject. For example, with the economy.

As a result, she entered the international faculty of Irkutsk State University.

While studying she worked as a freelance correspondent on local television, and worked her way up from correspondent to program editor.

Soon, together with director Yuri Dorokhin, Anna founded the company REC.production. The company was engaged in the creation of commercials and videos. The company collaborated with large customers such as Transneft, Atomenergomash and others.

It was at this time that Anna understands what to create own worlds she is much more interested in than integrating into an existing one.

In 2008, Anna Matison decides to move to Moscow, where she enters the VGIK screenwriting department..

And in 2013 he graduated from VGIK with honors.

In 2008, Anna filmed her debut based on the script by Evgeniy Grishkovets, “The Mood Has Improved.” Grishkovets was interested in the work, and he offered cooperation to the young screenwriter.

Together with Anna they are writing a feature-length film script "Satisfaction". This film was released widely and took part in many festivals.

Together with Grishkovets, Matison worked on the documentary series “Without a Script” and on the play “Home.”

Anna Matison also wrote scripts for the films “Yolki-2”, “Yolki-3”, “Yolki-2014”. While working on the film " Milky Way“Anna took on the position of director. She met on the set of this film. with Sergei Bezrukov.

Love and Baikal

There is an opinion that the future spouses met on the set of “Yolki-2”, where Sergei Bezrukov played one of the roles. Mathieson denies this information. She wrote the script for this film and did not interact with the artists in any way.

Anna and Sergey met on Lake Baikal, on Olkhon Island, in February 2015.

It was there that the shooting of the lyrical comedy “Milky Way” with Bezrukov in the title role took place.

Anna Matison spent a lot of time together both on and off the set. They talked a lot, made creative plans, and from these conversations their love arose.

Coincidence of circumstances

It so happened that it was in March 2015 that he died only son Bezrukov's wife, Irina Bezrukova. He was found in a Moscow apartment.

It was an accident - Andrei fell, hit his temple, and death occurred instantly.

At the same time, rumors about a quarrel in the Bezrukov family reached their peak. They said that Sergei did not come to his stepson’s funeral, that he had caught his wife cheating and many other unpleasant things.

Interesting notes:

Irina put an end to this story. Her original program “Conversation on Stage” was aired on the channel “360” near Moscow.

The first guest of the program was her then-ex-husband Sergei Bezrukov. At the end of the interview, Irina handed Sergei a blank sheet of paper.

Later Irina gave frank interview magazine “Hello!”, where she spoke about the state of affairs in their family. Yes, she and Sergei are divorced, but they are still connected by a common cause - Moscow Provincial Theater, Fund for Support of Sociocultural Projects, which they created together with Irina.

And she gave me a blank sheet of paper ex-husband as a symbol that now his life can start from scratch.

Life from scratch with Anna Matison

In 2016, the couple got married. Now Sergei Bezrukov and Anna Matison are raising their common daughter Maria.

In addition to family matters, Bezrukov and Matison developed a creative union. In March 2017, their joint film “After You” with Sergei in the title role was released. This time Anna took a swing at the drama, and largely due to the fact that she wrote the script for Bezrukov.

Previously, when the script was written for an unknown actor, Anna limited herself in many ways, because she was not sure whether the artist could cope with the proposed task. She is confident in Bezrukov. In her opinion, Sergei can play anything.

The film “After You” is a poignant story about a ballet dancer who ended his career.

Anna has previously paid a lot of attention to classical music in her work. She took off documentary about his fellow countryman, pianist Denis Matsuev, about Valery Gergiev, collaboration with the Mariinsky Theater.

Sergei Bezrukov calls this film Anna's gift. He always loved to dance, and in choreography classes at the Moscow Art Theater School he was among the first at the ballet barre.

In the film, 90% of the dances are performed by Bezrukov himself. In this role famous actor no one has seen it yet.

It is known that in the first marriage it was not possible to give birth to a child. Sergey and Irina Bezrukova tried for a long time, tried all treatment methods, but it was all in vain.

Therefore, the birth of daughter Masha in 2016 was the main gift for Sergei.

Outside of the director's stage, Anna is a very homely, gentle person. “Family comes first, it’s not even frowned upon.”

Anna Matison does not use the services of a nanny, believing that the child should spend as much time as possible with his parents.

The mother’s profession allows her to work at home, but even when filming, the Bezrukovs took their daughter with them. She had her own trailer. The actors joke: “On set, Masha is the only one who has a rider.”

This news became the leader of news feeds: Sergei Bezrukov legalized his relationship with Anna Matison. Let us remind you: last fall, the confession of his now ex-wife caused no less noise. famous artist Irina Bezrukova that her 15-year marriage with Sergei is over. And soon rumors appeared that the actor had found new love- director from Irkutsk Anna Matison, who starred in the film “Milky Way”.

The couple did not advertise their relationship - they also hid the wedding. The public learned about the news from Bezrukov’s friend Vadim Vernik (brother of Igor Vernik), who posted on the Internet the text of a text message received from the actor: “Vadik, dear! We signed! But we don't make loud statements. Quiet, no fuss. We don’t want them to ask: when, where, and so on. We protect our happiness."

The news came as a surprise to everyone, even to the bride's family.

"Told by phone"

“I’m very happy for Anya and Sergei,” said grandmother Oktyabrina Pavlovna Matison, who lives in Irkutsk, in a conversation with Komsomolskaya Pravda. - I congratulated them on the phone. I talked to them on the phone on March 8th and noticed that they were in a good, festive mood...

No. Everything was done quietly. There were no weddings and we, relatives, were not invited. Without saying anything, we registered. I only found out about this a couple of days later - my daughter said it was Anna’s mother. And the daughter found out from them themselves over the phone - already as a fait accompli.

- Why didn’t they organize a wedding?

Work doesn't allow it yet. They are also working on a new film (see below. - Ed.). Busy. We just went and signed during a break between work. And they didn’t want any fuss. They don't show their feelings. Moreover, this is not the first marriage for both - both him and her.

- Is this Anna’s second marriage?!

She had a man before. But it didn’t work out there.

- Did you wish the newlyweds children?

So, most importantly, I thought: why were they in such a hurry to carry out this procedure? Maybe they are already expecting a baby?

She and her mother were whispering about something. But this is such a delicate topic...

- Anna wants a child from Sergei?

Certainly.

- Does he dream of a daughter or a son?

He says any child is welcome.

- Maybe she wants to become a mother of many children?

Maybe. Her mother is a large woman, she has three children.

- What did you give the newlyweds for their wedding?

I prepared a wedding gift for them in advance. I thought: what if she unexpectedly gets married? And she prepared a Japanese set of very fine porcelain. She gave the gift to her eldest grandson, who lives in Moscow.

- Anna introduced you to her fiancé?

Certainly. Even last year. They came to us in Irkutsk together. We really like Sergei. Intelligent, attentive, caring, charming. But Anya, of course, is also worth such praise!

-Have you met Bezrukov’s parents?

Due to my health, I cannot fly to Moscow. My daughter, Anna’s mother Olga, flew there (she also lives in Irkutsk. - Ed.). She met Sergei's parents. Everything is fine. I am happy for them, let them be happy!

Ring - according to signs

Sergei once told me a story about his ex-wife Irina and wedding ring“, one of the actor’s friends shared with KP. - Seryozha first bought them both standard yellow gold rings. But Irina wanted something more modern - with a diamond. As a result, she had two wedding rings from Sergei, and she wore the one with a diamond. And there is a sign that Sergei knew about: the wedding ring should be smooth and even - and then it will be like this family life. This marriage between Irina and Sergei was not easy and collapsed in the end. So, for his marriage to Anna Matison, Sergei bought simple gold wedding rings.

Ballet! There is no better thing for an artist

Now Sergei and Anna are working on a new film “After You”. It will be directed by Anna Matison, and Bezrukov will play a ballet dancer. They say that for this role Sergei lost almost 10 kilos.

Before filming, Bezrukov took lessons from professional choreographer Radu Poklitaru. The theme of the ballet is new for the actor, but for Anna Matison it is a familiar element. She is well versed in music, opera, and a fan of ballet. Previously, as a director, she staged the opera “The Golden Cockerel” at the Mariinsky Theater (conducted by Gergiev), and she herself has a musical education.

On his official website, Bezrukov said:

“There will be scenes in Bolshoi Theater, and in the Mariinsky Theater. And even a REAL BALLET, which will be included in the repertoire of the Mariinsky Theater. But the film is not about ballet. The focus is on the personality itself - controversial and contradictory. As for ballet... I studied dance at the Moscow Art Theater School, my dance teacher Larisa Borisovna Dmitrieva praised me very much. I know firsthand what a machine is. Plie, adagio, balance, frappe are familiar terms to me.”

Sergei can dance, confirmed “KP” director Alexander Baranov, who directed Bezrukov in the films “Plot” and “Gentlemen, Good Luck!” ( new version. - Ed.). In “The Gentlemen...” a short piece of his dance was included in the film, and when they were filming on set, the whole group came running to watch him do it. Insanely beautiful and plastic! The dance was modern, dynamic, so you could die from the tension, but Seryozha danced everything brilliantly!

OPINION OF A COLLEAGUES

“He listens to her as a director”

The film “After You” is in some ways a psychological drama, in some ways a philosophical movie,” said “KP” actress Tamara Akulova. - The hero of Sergei Bezrukov is a dancer, a former ballet star, who left the ballet due to illness. I play his mother, and his father is Vladimir Menshov.

- How do you feel about the fact that Anna Matison became Sergei’s wife?

This is a great choice for Seryozha. He is talented and so is she. On the set I saw a very respectful attitude towards Anna from Sergei. He listens to her like an actor to a director.

On the eve of the New Year, Sergei Bezrukov gave an interview that was unusually frank for him. In a conversation with a journalist from Komsomolskaya Pravda, the actor spoke, among other things, about very personal things - Irina Bezrukova, Anna Matison, daughter Maria and illegitimate children.

The separation of Irina and Sergei Bezrukov became known in 2015. At first, rumors arose that not everything was going smoothly in the couple’s relationship, and later Irina confirmed the news in an interview with HELLO!. After a short time, Sergei began to be noticed in the company of director Anna Matison, and their romance also soon received official confirmation. Now, according to Sergei himself, he and Irina manage to maintain good relationship and work together.

What's in lately I have reconsidered my life in many ways, it’s true. There is the past, there is the present. With mine ex-wife Irina, we have an agreement: not a word about the past. I still help her, we work in the same theater, she is a co-founder of the Sergei Bezrukov Foundation for the Support and Development of Social and Cultural Projects. I am grateful to Irina for everything, and most importantly, for the fact that she gave me the opportunity to start life from scratch.

In the interview, Sergei decided to say a few words on a topic about which he had always been silent before - about illegitimate children.

With the appearance in my life of Anya (Mathison - Ed) and Mashenka (their common daughter- Ed.) a lot has changed. For the first time I truly felt like a father. Yes, I have more children, and for many this has long been no secret, like for my parents and my wife Anya, who accepted them. But it was with the birth of Mashenka that I was able to fully experience my father’s happiness: to be at birth, sleepless nights, tired (but happy!), first smile, first tooth.

I also love, support and help my other children, so now I have a big family. But I still wouldn’t like to advertise this too much - just to protect them from unhealthy attention that harms the child’s development. I want them to have a normal fate, without the star child syndrome. I don’t show my waving on social networks either. And I won’t show it! Only in a stroller and with your back! (Laughs.)

The fact that Masha was born creative girl, none of the fans doubted it. And Sergei confirmed the guesses.

Masha already goes to the theater. Together with Anya, he comes to performances and listens to them backstage. If I'm on stage, she, of course, recognizes my voice and listens carefully. Besides, she loves classical music. I think she will have good hearing.

Sergei Bezrukov and Anna Matison

Sergei Bezrukov is one of the most prominent actors in Russian cinema and artistic director of the Moscow Provincial Theater. Bezrukov’s multifaceted talent fascinates viewers. The actor’s bright career has become a reason for closer attention to his personal life. At the end of 2015, Sergei divorced his wife Irina, and a few months later he put on his wedding ring again. New darling director Anna Matison became an actor.

Loving Sergei Bezrukov

Creative nature is always characterized by some kind of love madness

Personal life details

Romance of the young talented actor Bezrukov and his first wife was one of the most discussed news in domestic show business in 2000. Of course, his chosen one was the famous, and also then married, actress Irina Livanova. Ill-wishers were perplexed, making caustic remarks about Sergei’s beloved, because Irina is eight years older than him. The actors' stormy romance lasted a year and a half. In 2000, Sergei proposed to Irina. At the wedding, both were incredibly happy, but Sergei was given only two days off. At that moment, the TV series “Brigade” was launched, so the actors were not able to enjoy solitude. And at that time it was impractical from a financial point of view. The marriage of Irina and Sergei Bezrukov lasted 15 years. The couple complemented each other in everything. Irina, how loving wife, forgot about mine acting career and completely devoted herself to her husband. Bezrukova understood that she loved genius man, it needs to be groomed and cherished every day. The marriage of Irina and Sergei was considered one of the strongest in the showbiz Olympus

Despite the fact that everything social events the spouses visited together, after six years of marriage, publications about Bezrukov’s “infidelity” began to appear in the press. Many, knowing the history of the creation of this family union, called all publications “gossip,” and Sergei, with his characteristic eloquence, brushed aside any rumors and often declared from the stage that his wife was the most beautiful woman in the world.

At one time, the media listed actress Alena Babenko and many other pretty girls with whom Bezrukov had to work as Sergei’s “close friends.”

The couple's childlessness was another fact that haunted the paparazzi. As a result of lengthy investigations, they finally managed to find out that Bezrukov had an affair with the aspiring singer Kristina Smirnova. “The fruits of this love” were two beautiful children - a boy and a girl.

Divorce

Despite the unspoken title of “the strongest union” in the domestic acting community, the marriage of Irina and Sergei did not stand the test of time and fell under the pressure of Bezrukov’s infidelities. Sergei was periodically attracted to a variety of partners. One of these “actresses” from the crowd, Kristina Smirnova, became the mistress of a brilliant actor on the set of the series “Yesenin”. This relationship lasted for many years. Kristina Smirnova gave Bezrukov two children - Alexander and Ivan. Information about the actor’s illegitimate children was revealed to the press in 2014. It is unknown whether Irina knew about the existence of a second family with her husband, but she survived this barrage of negativity in the press with her head held high and continued with her star husband appear in public, but you can’t escape fate.

Fans of the couple began to suspect that the Bezrukovs’ marriage had cracked in the summer of 2015. During this period, Sergei took off his wedding ring and stopped posting joint photos with my wife on Instagram. At the same time, rumors leaked to the media about Bezrukov’s next hobby. This time Sergei himself decided to dot all the i’s. He moved out of the family penthouse and settled into the apartment of a friend living abroad. As it turned out, the actor periodically ran to this “shelter” for four recent years marriage to be alone with yourself.

Irina was the first to break the vow of silence, telling the press that her marriage to Sergei was over. In one of the interviews, the actress said that Bezrukov made this decision, citing feelings for another woman. In turn, the actor commented on the breakup as follows:

I continue to help and support her, this is our choice!

Anna Matison and her past novels

“An excellent student in life” – this is how director, screenwriter and playwright Anna Matison can be described in a few words. A dedicated woman, she made a brilliant career in her native Irkutsk and then moved to Moscow. Having received a screenwriter's education at VGIK, Anna successfully started in domestic cinema. Mathison is such a versatile personality that he successfully combines the work of director, screenwriter and producer in one person. Naturally, such a busy woman has no time left for her personal life, although who knows, perhaps Anna simply does not want to advertise it.
One can only envy Anna’s efficiency and creative drive.

Matison was married, but her name ex-spouse remains a mystery. In Irkutsk, where the girl short period made a dizzying career, rumors were actively circulated that she had an influential patron.

The story of how the celebrity couple met

The first meeting between Anna and Sergei took place back in 2011, when Matison was working on the script for Yolki-2. The next stage of acquaintance occurred only four years later, when the director was looking for the main character in her film “Milky Way”. In the role of the hero Andrei, Matison saw Khabensky or Dyuzhev, but due to a busy work schedule, both actors were unable to take part in the project. Then the casting director invited Sergei Bezrukov to audition. The actor liked the script, and he and the film crew went to Lake Baikal.

Colleagues film set immediately noted “ special relationship"between Sergei and Anna, but no one could even think about a romance. Everything was attributed to the work process, because communication between the director and the main actors is always closer. Returning to Moscow, Bezrukov could not hide his delight not only from the new film, but also from Matison. The work on the melodrama began in the pavilions of the capital, and then colleagues began to notice that Anna and Sergei only came to filming together and looked at each other with great warmth.
The beginning of the romance between Anya and Seryozha was received by the actor’s parents with obvious coolness; his mother was especially dissatisfied

It was during this period that the Bezrukov couple separated. The media linked Sergei's departure from his wife with new lover Anna Matison, and they were not mistaken. The celebrity romance soon became the most talked about news in the acting community. In September 2015, the couple made their first joint appearance. The lovers appeared at the presentation of the film “Milky Way” at the International Forum CINEMA EXPO 2015, after talking with the press, they left the event together. After some time, new photographs of Anna and Sergei holding hands appeared. In February, the couple officially confirmed their status and starred in a photo shoot for Elle magazine.

Secret wedding without guests

Without unnecessary fuss and pathos, Anna Matison and Sergei Bezrukov got married in one of the capital's registry offices on March 11. No one was invited to the wedding ceremony; even relatives were informed about the marriage after the fact. From the words of Matison’s grandmother, who lives in Irkutsk, it was possible to find out that the lovers simply legalized their relationship by deciding to get married during breaks between work. Such a sudden wedding gave reason to the director’s grandmother to assume that the couple was expecting a child. There is no official confirmation of this information.

A film in which the surnames of director Anna Matison and actor Sergei Bezrukov will appear side by side in the credits for the first time, Sergei and Anna told 7 Days magazine about their first meeting, about their trip to Baikal to film the film “Milky Way,” about the appearance of a young actress with the surname Bezrukova in Russian cinema, and also shared plans for the future.

- Sergey, you played in Anna Matison’s film “The Milky Way” main role. How did you two meet?

Bezrukov: In February of this year, my long-time friend, producer Alexey Kublitsky, with whom we worked together on the film “Vysotsky. Thank you for being alive,” he suggested reading Anna Matison’s script. I liked it, very sincere, unlike standard New Year's films. There was something from the auteur cinema that I always wanted to act in. But for some reason I had never been offered this before. Maybe they're afraid of me. They probably think Sergey Bezrukov, then he only stars in blockbusters. “Okay,” I said to Alexei. “Let’s meet with the director, get to know each other, and discuss.”

- Were you surprised when you found out that the scriptwriter and director was a young woman?

Bezrukov: My very first director in 1993 in the film “Nocturne for Drum and Motorcycle” was Karine Foliyants. I have no prejudices in this regard at all; I do not believe that films should be made exclusively by men.

- Does the age of the director matter?

Bezrukov: None! I starred with Alyosha Sidorov in “Brigade”. This was his first film work. It would seem that this is a very complex story, a gangster saga that can only be completed by an experienced person who has already gone through fire and water. But Lesha is from Severodvinsk; by that time, despite his very young age, he had probably experienced a lot in life. And he made an amazing big movie. And Anya, in comparison with him then, is already an experienced director, she has several documentaries and the film “Satisfaction” with Evgeniy Grishkovets. This picture made a very strong impression on me at the time.

- Anna, did it help that Bezrukov liked your first film?

Mathison: I didn’t know whether Sergei had seen “Satisfaction” or not. Therefore, there was some uncertainty. Whatever they say, at the first meeting there is almost always some bias towards the female director. Therefore, I always prefer that they first look at my work, and then get acquainted with it in person. I remember well - on the day when Sergei made an appointment for us at the Moscow Provincial Theater, the same producer Alexei Kublitsky and I were first at other negotiations. And between these meetings, I asked Alexey to take me home to change clothes. He asked: “Why? You look good." And I just wanted to avoid attracting attention as much as possible.
