Let's try to figure it out.
Childhood
Stebunov Ivan, whose biography will be presented in this article, was born in 1981, November 9, in the city of Pavlovsk in the Altai Territory. His mother, Olga Mikhailovna, is Honored Artist of Russia, actress of the Novosibirsk Globus Theater. Father, Sergey Alekseevich, is a businessman. The future actor studied at a simple comprehensive school No. 29. The boy was actively interested in sports, was a prize winner of various competitions in Greco-Roman wrestling. At the age of 14, Ivan received a serious injury - a fracture of the spine. After that, the boy had to leave the sport.
Education
Stebunov early began to take part in the productions of the Globus Theater, where his mother served. This fact was reflected in Ivan's academic performance at school. The boy studied poorly, so he graduated from high school after the ninth grade and entered the Novosibirsk Theater School. However, already in the second year, the future celebrity was expelled from the school for a fight. Stebunov decided to move to Moscow and enter the capital's theater university. The guy arrived at the end of June, too late, since all the courses had already been completed. Having learned from a girl friend that there was still an opportunity to try his hand at St. Petersburg, Ivan went there and easily became a student at the St. Petersburg Theater Academy. He was accepted to the acting and directing department.
Movie debut
The debut of the young actor was the role of Karl Ripke in the German film "Pirates of Edelweiss". Stebunov Ivan, whose biography is sanctified in this article, got this work by accident. In the third year, the actor was tested for a role in one of the films directed by Ogorodnikov. The selection process took a whole month. Feeling completely exhausted, Ivan went out for a walk at night and got into a fight. Mentally putting an end to his future role, in the morning the battered actor stopped on the porch of the hostel to smoke, and unexpectedly attracted the attention of a woman who was looking for a suitable guy to participate in the filming of Edelweiss Pirates. Subsequently, it turned out that according to the scenario, Karl Ripke should be with a bruise under his left eye. Ivan Stebunov was fully consistent with the claimed image and easily got this role. German director Nico von Glazoff traveled all over Germany in search of a suitable actor. This peculiar man made a strange impression, because he had no hands from birth. Ivan recalled that he immediately had an emotional contact with the director, which really helped the guy in his work on the role. Edelweiss Pirates never appeared in the Russian box office, but the picture was presented at the Moscow Film Festival and at all forums in Europe. Stebunov became recognizable, various agencies drew attention to him, with whom Ivan began to actively cooperate.
