Many famous actors have dreamed of an artistic career since childhood, seeing in it the possibility of self-realization. Others become servants of theatrical stages and film sets unexpectedly and at first glance by chance.
Happy creative destiny
An interesting way that came to the art of Marat Basharov. His filmography can cause white envy from other actors who aspired to a similar career, but who were forced to appear in films faded and uninteresting. On his account, the roles in the films of Mitta, Govorukhin, Lungin and Mikhalkov, which can rightly be attributed to the classics of modern Russian cinema. Any actor considers work with these directors to be creative luck, after which his career can be called successful. Itâs not easy to get into the crew of these masters, but Basharov repeatedly succeeded. And the matter is not only in expressive appearance and acting abilities. And luck alone will not be enough. There is simply such an important thing as talent.
Childhood and youth
In 1974, a boy was born in the family of Moscow plumber Alimzhan Basharov. The mother of the future actor worked as a cook, in this glorious work environment, little Marat grew up. Like almost all his peers, he went to kindergarten, then to school. Parents worked hard, the boy respected them and was very obedient at home. But at school, he allowed himself to give vent to Tatar temperament. The teachers complained, the director called his father to school, this helped for a while. However, in all likelihood, these tricks were not of any malicious character, otherwise the guy would not have made those glorious and devoted friends with whom he still communicates. Rather, it was a manifestation of liveliness of character and demonstrated its presence in a young man.
Be that as it may, Marat Basharov studied, obviously, very well, otherwise he would not have entered the law faculty of Moscow State University. The working-class family did not and could not have any âblatâ and ânecessary connectionsâ.
It seemed that the life path of a law student was predetermined, and on the whole everything turned out well.
The beginning of an acting career
His Majesty Chance decides the fate of people, as many believe. Everything is predetermined in advance, such is the opinion of the fatalists. Be that as it may, the test at the Sovremennik Theater ended happily for Marat Basharov, although he got on it at the request of his brother (he works as a critic), as if by accident. They put âCanterville Ghostâ, a certain type was needed, and the young guy got the role for two whole seasons. Marat liked this work so much that he understood: this is his vocation for life. And if so, then you need to study not in legal wisdom, but in acting. From MSU, the young man moved to the school of Schepkin. Filming in advertising gave some means of life, at the same time the name "Marat Basharov" appeared in the credits of the movie. The filmography of the actor begins with the film âBurnt by the Sunâ, although the role was episodic, but the director Nikita Sergeyevich Mikhalkov liked the work of the debutant so much that he invited him to his next picture, âThe Barber of Siberiaâ.
Movies and TV shows
In the theater, the actor did not begin to get a permanent job, although there were proposals. An independent character demanded creative freedom with the right to choose roles. Each subsequent year was marked by the filming of two or three films, in which vivid images were created by Marat Basharov. The filmography of early years includes the multi-part saga âBorderâ, âVoroshilovsky shooterâ, âWeddingâ. He greatly appreciates his work in The Turkish Gambit, as well as in the remake of The Office Romance. The popularity of the actor gives him the opportunity to participate in various television broadcasts ("Ice Age", "Psychic Show", "Ice and Fire").
Peak demand
Demand is the dream of every artist, and Marat Basharov is no exception. His filmography only for 2004 was replenished with five roles, very successful. He perfectly played a young submarine officer at 72 meters, and did a great job in Shukshin Stories. The films "Bachelors", "Words and Music" and "Kindred Exchange" received less fame, but they were very good.
2005 was not in vain either. Three good pictures came out: Utesov, My Big Armenian Wedding, and an adaptation of the detective novel Akunin. Other films with Marat Basharov, which were released soon, are very interesting, these are Canned Food, 1612, Depicting a Victim, and Leningrad.
The first marriage and its impact on creativity
Personal life serves as a kind of indicator of the nature of any person. Actor Marat Basharov took place thanks to his own talent, this is true. Diligence played an important role in his professional development. But the efforts of the first wife of the artist, who became his impresario, were of considerable importance. Knowing her husbandâs creative preferences, she searched and found for him a job that was to his liking. She does it now, when the family broke up. In addition, Lisa Kutsko showed such a very valuable human quality as wisdom, having preserved good relations with her ex-spouse after a divorce, which is not often. Marat, in turn, appreciates this highly, takes an active part in the upbringing of a ten-year-old daughter (her name is Amelie) and maintains friendship with the ex-wife.
However, the actor himself can fight for those roles that he considers âhisâ. So, before filming the âWeddingâ, he suddenly realized that he wanted to play not Garkusha, Mishkaâs friend, as was originally planned, but the main character. Lugnin objected, but Basharov was persistent and won as a result.
Figure skater Tatyana Navka, who worked with Marat in the Ice Age, became his second chosen one, but this relationship was not developed. After parting with her, the actor was looking for his happiness and, according to rumors, he almost found it with one of his colleagues in the workshop, Svetlana Khodchenkova, but so far there is no evidence for this novel, and the actorâs matrimonial status remains the same, he is a bachelor.
TV shows with Marat Basharov
The actor prefers to act in feature films, but does not like TV shows. The exceptions are the serial films "Bachelors", "Deal", "Hindu" "Hunt for Manchurian deer", "Unfasten Belts" and the last of them, "Treason". Biographical sagas about Anna German and Leonid Utesov can be attributed to this genre as well, with a certain stretch of The Taiga novel, but the artistic level of these paintings is much higher than that of most soap operas of domestic and foreign production. Actually, it is precisely the low artistic merits that prevent the actor from participating in many large projects. Films with the participation of Marat Basharov, as a rule, are interesting and informative, and he tries to keep this brand. At least, the artistâs statement is known that it is better to unload the cars than to act in a bad movie.
Basharov prefers classics and simplicity
Despite the fact that programs and films with Marat Basharov are often shown on television, and his face has long been recognizable, the actor did not acquire those special habits that are so characteristic of many "stars". He still prefers to dress in a youth-sports style, has not acquired exquisitely exotic culinary tastes (he prefers Russian dumplings) and appreciates good relations with friends acquired as a child. Universal human values, such as honesty and the ability to empathize, are priority for him. The actor likes to watch old Soviet films. Marat Basharov admires the painting âCranes Are Flyingâ and many other works of Soviet filmmakers, which have become classics. It is possible that it is precisely this addiction that sets the âhigh standardâ that the actor is oriented towards in his work.
