The acting career of Ivan Zhidkov began rapidly. Fast take-off, shooting in films of famous directors. Today, the filmography of Ivan Zhidkov includes more than 60 films. But the young and promising actor is not going to stop, because, according to him, everything is just beginning.
Childhood
A talented actor was born on August 28, 1983 in the city of Yekaterinburg (formerly Sverdlovsk). From the memoirs of Ivan himself it follows that in childhood he looked much younger than his years. At age 12, he could be given 9 by force, so the lad was always deprived of female attention. At least, until he grew up and matured, and even when his acting career began, needless to say, there was no end to the fans. We can say compensation for childhood.
Immediately after graduation, the future actor Ivan Zhidkov decided to enter a theater university in the capital. The number of people in one place was simply huge, however, as in all years. But the young man was not scared. By the way, many people think in vain that Ivan entered the theater solely thanks to the connections of his parents. This is completely wrong: neither the relatives from the theater sphere, nor the acquaintances of the Zhidkov family were. The young man simply has a talent, thanks to which he passed the competition and was enrolled in the students of the Moscow Art Theater School, for the course to E. Kamenkovich.
Student years
If we talk about the talent of such a young actor as Zhidkov Ivan (his filmography, by the way, includes serious roles, for example, Sergeant Konstantin Vetrov, the film "Stormy Gates"), then Oleg Tabakov himself admired him. He compared him with the famous Sergei Bezrukov.
For the first time, Ivan performed on stage while still a student. The debut of the young actor took place in the famous "Snuffbox" - in the role of Peter in the play "The Last".
Theatre
Moscow Art Theater Ivan graduated in 2004. After graduating from theater school he was accepted to the Snuffbox with pleasure, where he had already managed to prove himself. On the stage of the famous theater, the actor worked for exactly three years. By the way, in parallel with the young actor, he also performed at the Chekhov Theater, participating in such performances as "Yu", "White Guard".
Start a movie career
Over the past three years after graduating from a studio school and after performing in numerous theaters, Ivan Zhidkov has already become a fairly famous actor. For himself, he decided to leave Tabakov. What is cinema, he already knew firsthand, because he had several film works behind him, however, the first films with the participation of Ivan Zhidkov went unnoticed by the audience. The young man explained his decision by the fact that to work in the repertoire genre of the theater, you still need to have a kind of character warehouse.
Ivan Zhidkov, being in a good relationship with the theater staff, left the group without any scandals. And you can’t say that a movie career is much more important for a young actor. According to Ivan, he left, first of all, from the regime, from the theater, which belonged to the state, imposing certain obligations on the actor.
At first, the young man took part in the productions of entreprise performances. Together with his wife, he participated in such premieres as "Do not wake a sleeping dog", "Five evenings" and many others.
First successes
In fact, the very first role in the movie, Zhidkov Ivan, whose filmography began with the picture “In the Constellation of the Bull”, was received as a student. The film was a typical melodrama, which is based on the classic love triangle. The drama unfolds during a harsh war period. In principle, the film turned out to be very touching, but it did not get wide distribution among the audience.
Popularity did not come to the young actor unexpectedly and suddenly. There is no such movie after which he woke up famous. Everything happened gradually. In 2005, the young actor starred in the famous series “Soldiers”. Sergeant Samsonov, whom Ivan had a chance to play, introduced a new emotional tension to the series, made him again “alive”. The main roles of Ivan Zhidkov, which he played with irony, quite self-confidently, allowed him to win more than one female heart.
In the same year, Zhidkov managed to star in such films as “Children of Vanyukin”, “Urgency-2” and “Deadly Force” (sixth season).
Career
The actor’s track record also includes shooting in the so-called “soap operas,” the first of which is the well-known and beloved by many melodrama “Love as Love” and the role of Leni Lobov. True, after this project ended, Ivan stated the fact that he had no more desire to play in such long-playing series. But full-length feature films or serial films are quite another.
Further, the actor had a chance to play many famous roles. These were roles in adventure films ("Network"), and in youth films ("Zero Kilometer", "Black Lightning") and many others.
An interesting fact: the role of Maxim in the film "Black Lightning" is not perceived by Ivan as purely negative. On the contrary, he speaks of his hero as a stupid, even somewhat naive man, because of which, in fact, all sorts of troubles turn out in his life. Having failed to make the right choice, Maxim chooses the wrong values ​​in life. But despite this, Zhidkov considers his hero a man more than sincere.
As Ivan Zhidkov himself admits, whose filmography includes the picture Black Lightning-2, he really liked working on the image of Maxim. Despite all the difficulties, the director of the picture helped him in many ways. In addition, the film crew and the team of other actors managed to create a truly friendly atmosphere on the project. Together, it was quite easy and simple to work on the film.
Personal life
Of course, the personal life of a young and promising actor is interesting to many, and especially his fans. But evil tongues in the life of Ivan have nothing to profit from. The actor has long and happily married to actress Tatyana Arntgolts, with whom they raise a daughter together.
In fact, the meeting between Ivan and Tatiana happened completely by accident. They met at a meeting with mutual friends. By that time, Tatyana was already a well-known and sought-after young actress. A lot of admirers and admirers were behind her. Ivan also became recognizable, taking the first successful steps. Films with Ivan Zhidkov began to gain popularity among viewers.
Surprising is the fact that until this time they lived in hostels located in the neighborhood. Tatyana lived in a dormitory from the Shchepkinsky school, and Ivan from the Moscow Art Theater School. And for all the time they have never met.
But ... When the young people first saw each other at a meeting with mutual acquaintances, some invisible spark flashed between them. It was real love at first sight. According to Ivan, he instantly fell in love and got married. Although before meeting with her, I had no idea what true strong love was.
Young people got married in late 2008, and on September 15, 2009 their daughter Maria was born.
Gossip
Well, where are the famous actors without gossip, especially one so promising and young as Ivan Zhidkov ... The filmography of the young man is so diverse that one can only be surprised at how he manages everything. As for gossip, periodically evil tongues start to rumor about the scandalous divorce of young actors. As usual, all the gossip actually turns out to be just another “duck.”
Whoever says anything, a young family lives happily and brings up their little daughter, and is not going to disperse at all. In addition to that, that Ivan, that Tatyana continue to successfully star in interesting films and delight their fans.
About future
Today, Ivan Zhidkov is a very popular and promising actor in domestic cinema. Ivan has plans for the future to shoot and rehearse. He’s not going to say goodbye to the movie. Currently, the actor is offered many roles and scenarios. Most directors want to see Ivan in their films. And the young man carefully studies the proposed material and chooses the most suitable role for himself. I would like to add that, despite his popularity, Ivan Zhidkov (the filmography of the actor only confirms this) prefers to play more melodramatic roles.
One of the latest paintings by the actor is “Gulchatay”, “Swallow's Nest”, “Made in the USSR”, “In Love and Unarmed”. In the new 2014, several films with the participation of Ivan will also be released. Now he can be seen in the second part of the series "Gyulchatay". Fans and fans can only wait for the premiere of new films or series with the participation of a young and talented actor.
