The boy’s biography began in the family of a submarine officer (dad - Valery Konstantinovich) and a doctor (mother - Irina Aleksandrovna). His childhood was quite ordinary: just like children of his age, he played, to the best of disorderly conduct and mischievous. And there was no desire to become an artist. Maxim wanted to connect his fate with medicine and become a dentist. At school, the boy studied very well. Absolutely all objects were given to him.
Turn of Fate: From Army to Theater
As the actor himself later admitted, the thought of the scene came to his mind suddenly. Moreover, this decision visited him after school graduation. Not receiving a medal, he was forced to pass all exams upon admission. Moreover, regardless of the knowledge of the material, a good grade had to be paid. But there was no money. The young man decides to follow the advice of a friend and go to the Academy of Arts. An additional incentive to get into any educational institution was the imminent threat in the form of an army.
