Actor Konstantin Yushkevich: biography, personal life and interesting facts

The Russian actor Konstantin Yushkevich is known to the modern viewer for his many television roles. It can be seen in various television projects, and on the set of TV shows. His filmography is constantly filled with paintings of diametrically opposite genres. These are historical tapes, and action films, and melodramas. But what is hidden behind such a successful facade, try to find out.

Wonderful childhood

Little Kostya was born into a family of ordinary Soviet engineers in September 1969 in Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg). His parents had nothing to do with cinema, they were proud of their profession and tried to instill this love in their son. But the heir did not express any desire to continue the family tradition.

Having become a schoolboy, the future actor Konstantin Yushkevich became a rebel. The boy could not sit still until the end of the lessons. But the rebel from him turned out to be quite intelligent: the boy never bullied, did not disrupt lessons. Kostya preferred to play his classmates and teachers. It was for such antics that he was under the personal control of the director.

Often, Yushkevich's parents listened to monologues of teachers about the behavior of their son. There was even a separate diary in which teachers noted the boy’s behavior after each lesson.

What dream will come true?

In order to calm the boy’s temperament a little, his parents record it in the Miniature Theater, which was located at the Palace of Pioneers. That is how Konstantin Yushkevich (actor), whose biography is filled not only with interesting works, but also with family concerns, began to join the theatrical art. Gradually he was introduced to the performances, which pleased him very much, because the boy really liked to go on stage and play some role. But at this time he did not even think about what it could become his profession: Kostya dreamed of a tank school.

But his dream never came true (there were some health problems). Then the future actor Konstantin Yushkevich decided to attribute the documents to legal. Everything changed a random phrase.

From school to GITIS

After one of the amateur productions in which Yushkevich played, he was given very important (as it turned out later) advice: to become a professional actor. The guy thought and entered the Sverdlovsk Theater School.

He was a very diligent student, but he had to interrupt his studies because of military service. Demobilized, actor Konstantin Yushkevich, personal whose life was never presentable to the masses, he graduated from college, but this seemed to him not enough. Therefore, he moves to Moscow to become a student of GITIS. He succeeded in this with a certain ease, and he was credited to Zakharov himself. The actor then recalled that in these walls everything was exclusively "grown-up". The students did not seem to be taught specific skills, but they "cooked" in this environment, they ate it. The directors of the performances were then Roman Samgin and Victor Shamirov (subsequently, life was pushed against him by Konstantin more than once). In 1996, Yushkevich became a graduate of a prestigious institute.

Theatrical work

After graduating from GITIS, Yushkevich Konstantin (the actor, whose photo can often be seen in various glossy publications) becomes part of the troupe of the legendary Lenkom, which he presented with seven years of his life. He liked to work there, but there was one “but”: in any repertoire theater, the hierarchy was identical to the army. "Lenkom" was not a blessed exception.

Over time, the actor began to understand that something had to be changed, because he no longer wanted to put up with a predictable existence, with already familiar performances and rehearsals. And here Victor Shamirov came to the rescue . Yushkevich quits from Lenkom and transferred to the entreprise Independent Theater Project, where his multifaceted talent was fully revealed. They staged only modern plays here. And since that year, the actor is constantly collaborating with him. He became a favorite of the audience thanks to several performances - about playing the truth, about driven horses that are being shot.

Only for women

Huge popularity Yushkevich brought another production, which has become a kind of classic theater stage. This role opened him completely from a new perspective, and not only in the figurative sense of the word. So, the famous production with the non-trivial title of “Ladies' Night. Only for women".

This performance was supposed to end with a striptease performed by the main characters - Gosha Kutsenko, Konstantin Yushkevich, Euclid Kurdzitis and Marat Basharov. This exposure on the stage of your favorite actors caused constant spectator delight. Especially the female half of the public.

Flower thong for real men

Konstantin Yushkevich (actor), whose biography with the release of this theatrical work became much richer than before, very long and hard to get used to this work. On the one hand, it was a completely new show with an undeveloped format and tough dialogs. On the other hand, for the actor it was even worse: I had to get used to the flower thong, both at rehearsals and at home. So the costume designer tried to accustom the actors to a new job. Most of all, Yushkevich was afraid how this would be perceived not only by the audience, but also by his parents. But everything was not as scary as it seemed: the audience was delighted, and the parents laughed.

His movie epic

Cinema came to the life of the actor in the nineties, however, at first the roles were practically insignificant and they did not add much popularity to him. For some reason, cinema unjustly avoided Yushkevich and, perhaps, he lost some roles, but the following years were able to rectify the situation.

In the difficult nineties for Russian cinema, actor Konstantin Yushkevich starred in just a few small films. It was always difficult for him to answer the question of why this happened. It is clear that in the profession of an actor, a lot depends on some chance. And yet he could not find himself in a certain place at the right time. But the actor never knew how to get into his eyes and impose himself, and did not consider it necessary.

Yes, actor Konstantin Yushkevich has always been so decent and proud. His filmography began to be replenished extensively with interesting works with the advent of the new century. He worked on the sets of such projects as “On the corner near the Patriarchs”, “Turetsky March”, “Ice”, “Russian riot”, “Men's work” and similar paintings.

And then came the role that brought him popularity. It was the film “Savages,” in which four friends were played by Konstantin Yushkevich, Vlad Galkin, Gosha Kutsenko and Alexei Gorbunov. The picture was about a middle-aged crisis in men, but with such a deep philosophical meaning and subtle humor that she immediately fell in love with the audience.

The next significant work of the actor was in the film “Plan B”, where the businessman Anton Kopylov became the character of Yushkevich. The director considered many candidates, but he stopped precisely at Yushkevich. Then there were other films and series - “Gromov”, “Always say always” 4, “Keys to happiness”, “Travelers”, “Equation with everyone known”, “Heiress”, “Son”, “Sklifosovsky”, “Pure” art". In his movie saw more than seven dozen diverse roles. He played prosecutors and police captains, traumatologists and engineers, diplomats and businessmen, photographers and drivers. And to each of his characters, he appropriated some of his qualities.

Brothers or namesakes?

Actor Yushkevich Sergey and Konstantin Yushkevich brothers or just namesakes? This question has long been of interest to viewers who enjoy watching films in which these talented and imposing men were shot. The paintings, on which both Yushkevich worked, are equally interesting, because among them there are those that are reviewed many times: “Attorneys”, “Starfish Cavaliers”, “Five Steps in the Clouds”, “House without Exit”, “Red”.

Actor Yushkevich Sergey and Konstantin Yushkevich did not intersect on the set. The only exception (and even with a big stretch) can be called the series "Always say always." But even during this work, they were not in the same frame. Because their characters in the script did not touch.

Actor Yushkevich Sergey and Konstantin Yushkevich are brothers, if I may say so, only in the acting workshop. But this also has its own charm, because not knowing whether there is a relationship between the two men, I involuntarily want to compare them both externally and professionally.

The personal life of the actor

Really a very talented actor Konstantin Yushkevich. His personal life was long and strong. He married at the age of 21, having married his classmate Olga. After meeting, they got married very quickly, and their wedding was quite modest. Now Olga works in the children's department of the Moskontsert.

The couple grows up two daughters - Catherine and Evdokia. The actor always speaks about girls with special warmth and tenderness. He assures that his daughters are completely different from each other: Katya is fighting, able to stand up for herself, and Dusya is very vulnerable and romantic. The Russian actor Konstantin Yushkevich, whose personal life includes not only family, but also one and only passion - fishing, often regrets that he does not devote as much time to his girls - his wife and daughters as he would like. But he has a lot of work. But at every opportunity, he spends all his free time with his wife and daughters. The family loves to roller skate and have fun at the water park.
