Not so long ago, Irina Pegova attracted the attention of paparazzi by the fact that she radically changed her image.
Naturally endowed with luxurious beauty, inherent only to Russian women, Irina Pegova lost weight and cut her hair. This caused a shock among the fans of the actress, accustomed to seeing her as a cheerful chubby beauty.
Undoubtedly, acting and talent are not dependent on gained or dropped pounds, and the viewer will see and fall in love with the actress in her new look, opening up new perspectives for her. Moreover, Irina Pegova admitted that, having lost weight, she feels the energy and desire to play diverse and characteristic roles in herself, completely changing her previous role.
Actress childhood and youth
Little is known about Irina Pegova - she does not like to flaunt her personal life. Born in 1978 in an ordinary Soviet family. The mother of the future actress worked in accounting at the Vyksky Metallurgical Plant, her father is a school physical education teacher and coach. Parents dreamed that their daughter would become an athlete, and sent the child to the gym to do rhythmic gymnastics. The girl had good data - flexible and thin, she easily coped with tasks. Soon to perform the same exercise, endlessly honing her skills, she became uninteresting. And little Ira began to try herself in other sports - speed skating, horse riding, fencing, swimming and athletics. Of all the above, athletics were most liked. But the champions, as her relatives dreamed, did not work out of the girl. But the love of running and physical activity she still has.
Along with playing sports, Pegova also studied at a music school, graduating from the violin class. As an actress, Irina Pegova tried her hand as a child, studying in a vocal studio and speaking in front of the local audience of Vyksa's hometown with solo numbers. At 17, the girl left for Nizhny Novgorod, where she entered the theater school.
The path to audience recognition
It’s impossible to say that Irina Pegova’s personal life was too smooth. Irina had to sit on a forced diet in order to save money on the purchase of textbooks, work as a cleaner within the walls of her theater school, in order to be able to go to Moscow for admission to GITIS. But there was still a bit of luck in the fate of Ira - Petr Fomenko noticed her talent , and at 23 she already shone on the stage of the Moscow Theater, playing in the performances of “Wolves and Sheep”, “War and Peace. Beginning of the novel ”and others.
Cinematic Debut
The audience saw films with Irina Pegova in 2003. The first film was "Walk", where Pegova played the role of Olga, for whose performance she was awarded the prize "For Best Actress" at the 13th international film festival, held in the German city of Cottbus.
The second appearance - in the film “Cosmos as a Premonition”, where actress Irina Pegova played Lara, also did not go unnoticed - the film won four awards (2 “Nicks” and 2 “Golden Eagles”). Then there were roles in "Varenka", "Do Not Hurry Love", "Indian Summer" and a number of other films.
Currently, there are already more than thirty roles in TV shows and films, where Irina Pegova starred. Before and after the well-deserved fame and wide publicity that had come to her, this woman retained such qualities as modesty and charm. The actress combines her cinematic activities with work at the Moscow Art Theater named after A.P. Chekhov.
The personal life of the actress
In 2003, fate brought Pegova with actor Dmitry Orlov. They say that it was love at first sight. From their marriage, a daughter, Tatyana, was born. At the age of 7, Tanya had already managed to dream in the movie "Eight", where together with Irina Pegova they played a mother and daughter. In 2011, the seemingly exemplary marriage of Orlov and Pegovoi broke up.
The actress does not suffer from "star disease", so the personal life of Irina Pegova is rarely discussed among lovers of scandals and sensations. Looking at this beautiful woman, you will never think that in her life not everything is as smooth as it might seem at first glance. What is it worth to survive the loss of the first child and divorce from her husband ...
Irina Pegova doesn’t lock herself in herself, she can sincerely tell in an interview about how she instills in her daughter the ability to be a housewife — she washes dishes and floors with her own hands, does a general cleaning of the house. Irina also does not hide the fact that she likes to eat “harmful” products - high-calorie pasta with cream cheese sauce .
Why Irina Pegova lost weight and cut her hair
They say that fate can change if you change your appearance. Obviously, therefore, Irina Pegova lost weight and cut her hair. Her new look has lost the former, classic beauty of a Russian woman. Now Pegova is perceived as a younger and emancipated woman.
As the actress herself admitted in an interview, the reason for the radical change in her appearance was the fact that she was tired of playing long-haired Slavic beauties. She feels untapped potential in herself and is able to play a strong-willed and strong woman.
Pegova says she is not afraid of difficulties and is confident in the future, even if she remains without work and material values.
The motto of this amazing woman is “rejoice at what you have!” Maybe this is her current worldview and influenced the fact that Irina Pegova lost weight and cut her hair. Although the viewer managed to get used to her past image, in something similar to the role of the most brilliant actress of the last century - Natalia Gundareva.
Diet from Irina Pegova
Irina makes no secret how she managed to lose so much weight.
The actress says that she simply refused meat and fish products and became a vegetarian. I came to this way of eating intuitively, focusing on my well-being. And I did not regret it. Pegova believes that as a result of the fact that she stopped eating meat, she became kinder and more tolerant of others.
In addition, Pegova managed to achieve such stunning results also because she regularly attends fitness classes, loves morning runs, a habit of which has remained since childhood.
Be that as it may, I want to believe that films with Irina Pegova will appear on our television and movie screens more than once, and she will not disappoint us by playing a slender and business-like modern woman.
