They talk about him, they recognize him, many critically regard his work and person, but the fact remains: Andrei Malakhov today is a TV star, showman and public figure worthy of discussion. Given the fact that the host is from the Murmansk region, and his parents (mom is a kindergarten teacher and dad is a geophysicist) are far from the world of TV and show business, we can confidently say that he deserved his stardom - he created himself, their labor and perseverance.
How many years did it take Andrei Malakhov to be an ordinary student of the journalism faculty of Moscow State University Lomonosov to become a star of Russian television, it’s easy to calculate. While still a student, he worked part-time in the newspaper Moskovskiye Novosti (culture department) and on the radio Maximum, where he was the author and presenter of the Style program. After graduating from the university (since 1995), Andrey works as a full-time editor of the Morning program, and part-time as the author and her head of the Style section. In addition, at the same time he becomes a correspondent, and then a special correspondent of the ORT Information Programs Directorate.
Real fame came to the journalist at the beginning of the new millennium - in 2001, the Big Wash program went on the air of Channel One. Her popularity brought him long-awaited success, including financial.
How many years Andrei Malakhov had to save and sometimes not even eat up, he does not tell anyone. Although he mentions in an interview the times when he often spent the night at work, because, having stayed in the office until the metro was closed, he did not have money for a taxi to come to sleep in the hostel.
Big Wash has been a success for almost four years, until in 2004 Andrei launched the new 5 Evenings project. This program was aired, however, only for a year, successfully transformed in 2005 into Let They Talk.
How many years Andrei Malakhov will still be able to surprise the viewer in a talk show format is unknown, but we must admit that he does it very well. As the presenter admitted in one of his interviews, in his childhood he dreamed of being an announcer of the Vremya program. Considering how old Andrei Malakhov is today (41), his dream can still come true, but he already does not have such intentions, because he is completely satisfied with his professional realization. Indeed, his program has been popular and the audience’s love for eight years.
Malakhov Andrei, whose
biography is rich in love stories, in 2011 ceased to be considered an enviable groom, marrying Natalia Shkuleva, daughter of a famous and wealthy publisher. His wedding at Versailles was savored by many magazines and programs for almost a year. She became an event in the world of show business.
Today, a journalist dreams of his own production center, a course at an institute or his own journalism school. Andrei Malakhov is not only the star face of domestic television, he is also famous for his collaboration with many popular tabloids, and his presence as a host at various ceremonies is considered an indicator of the high level of the event.
