The name of the actor Rinal Mukhametov thundered all over the country in 2017, when Fedor Bondarchuk’s large-scale fantasy film “Attraction” came out in Russian hire. The character embodied by the young artist on the screen conquered thousands of girlish hearts. The alien Hakon who came to Earth simply could not go unnoticed. Kind and beautiful, a little naive and ready to sacrifice everything for love - even his own life ... The article describes how the actor resembles his screen hero.
A family
Rinal Albertovich Mukhametov was born on August 21, 1989 (according to the zodiac sign is Leo, according to the eastern horoscope is Snake) in a small settlement called Alekseevskoye, which is located in Tatarstan, a hundred kilometers from the main city of the republic - Kazan.
In this provincial town the whole childhood of the future actor passed, and his parents live there to this day. Rinal is a representative of mixed nationality - he is semi-Russian, half-Tatar. The actor’s mother is an accountant, in the past, worked as a firing master at a local brick manufacturing enterprise. Rinal's father is a mechanic and just a craftsman.
The actor is not the only child in the family. After the son, the Mukhametovs had a daughter, Angelina, Rinal's younger sister.
Children's hobbies
In childhood, the future actor was distinguished by curiosity and obedience. He studied well enough at school, especially he was given humanitarian subjects.
Rinal's passion for acting was originally laid in the blood - his grandfather was an active participant in amateur performances. But the desire for acting appeared in the boy far from immediately. Throughout all the childhood and youthful years, Rinal Mukhametov literally darted from one hobby to another in search of himself.
At an early age, he was most interested in sports. He played football, then hockey, after he became interested in acrobatics. The final stage of the sports period was wrestling, namely taekwondo. Having received a brown belt, Mukhametov switched to another field of activity.
A talented young man was fascinated by music. He studied drumming and even assembled his own band. By the way, Rinal has not cooled to this hobby to this day. In his free time from filming, he was not averse to sit down behind the drum kit again.
From infantryman to clown
In the middle classes of the school, Mukhametov finally decided on the future direction of his activities. His then main desire was the development of a profession that was far from art - he dreamed of becoming a marine. After the 8th grade, Rinal submitted documents to the legendary Suvorov School. But the dream did not come true - the young man was refused. He was rejected for two reasons - due to problems with the exact sciences and stuttering.
By the time he finished school, Rinal Mukhametov realized that his profession should be connected with creative self-expression. Being a big fan of the circus, he decided to become a clown.
Having received a certificate, an ambitious graduate went to the theater school of Kazan. He became a student in the circus department, but studied there for only two years. Soon after admission, Mukhametov had doubts about the correctness of his choice. Clown activity did not give him the expression that he desired. Increasingly, he had dreams of entering a real theater stage.
Doubted the choice of student and teachers. During his training, they discerned in this stately attractive young man (photos of Rinal Mukhametov given in the article, his height - 182 cm, weight - 78 kg) more talent than the clowning required. The teachers of the school advised the student to go to Moscow and enroll in acting.
Theater mastery
After such a recommendation, Mukhametov confidently began to move towards his goal. He went to the capital with the intention of entering the Moscow Art Theater School. From the first attempt, Rinal entered the educational institution and became a student of the course, whose mentor was Kirill Serebrennikov.
Mukhametov was not prevented from demonstrating his acting talent even by a slight stutter. Rinal was not shy about the defect that accompanied him all his life. According to the actor, stuttering contributes to wise silence, so he did not have a complex about this. Serebrennikov was not embarrassed by the defect - the student’s talent was more important.
In the process of training, Rinal Mukhametov, not without the help of experienced teachers, almost completely defeated stuttering - he was able to control it. Soon he became one of the best students. Teachers especially noted its plasticity. In the stage movement (dancing, fencing, etc.), Mukhametov had almost no equal among his fellow students.
On the stage
In 2012, Rinal completed his studies. The actor remained in Moscow he loved and was immediately accepted into the troupe of the Serebrennikov Theater "Gogol Center". There he plays to this day and is among the leading artists.
The debut of the actor on the stage took place during his studies at the school-studio. The first performances with the participation of Mukhametov were very successful. After that, the novice charismatic artist began to appear regularly in new productions. Moreover, he can be seen on the stage not only of the Gogol Center, but also of other theaters inviting the actor to participate in projects.
Despite his relatively little experience, Rinal already has the unofficial title of a true master of reincarnation. And this title is absolutely deserved - Mukhametov can play any role. The artist can be seen in classical performances, and in ultramodern productions.
Screen career
The impressive variety of embodied characters applies not only to the theatrical works of the actor, but also to his filming in films and series.
Rinal first appeared on the screen in 2011, even before graduation. The debut filming for the artist was the military tape "Atonement", where Mukhametov got the difficult main role of the Jewish pilot Augustus. The actor coped with the task brilliantly. The film received mixed ratings, but all critics agreed that a new talent appeared in Russian cinema.
After a successful debut, Mukhametov is being invited to various projects. The most striking of them is the film adaptation of “Three Musketeers” by Sergey Zhigunov, where the young actor performed d´Artagnan. This role made Rinal quite famous. Projects with the participation of the actor began to go out one after another. Mostly they were series. Among them:
- "Ekaterina";
- "Mannequin";
- "Immersion".
From TVs to the big screens of cinemas Mukhametova finally translated sensational tape "Attraction". The role of an alien Hakon firmly strengthened the actor on the star Olympus of Russian cinema.
The career of a young artist is rapidly going uphill. In the acting biography of Rinal Mukhametov, new chapters continue to appear. He plays in performances and starred in new tapes. Among recent film works, it is worth highlighting the roles of Rinal Mukhametov in films:
- "Without me";
- "Temporary difficulties";
- Cold Tango.
The coming year for the actor is already scheduled literally by the day.
Personal life
In 2013, Rinal married Carolina of Yeruzalim, an actress and student at the Shchukin school. The acquaintance of the artists was beautiful. The girl went to Rinal after the performance and gave him flowers - the first bouquet presented to Mukhametov as an actor. A short meeting led to a romantic relationship, which continued through official marriage, and two years later ended in divorce.
In 2015, the actor married again. The wedding with actress Suzanne Akezheva was modest. It is noteworthy that the couple met in 2010, but then they could not have imagined that after five years they would become husband and wife. In 2016, Rinal first became a father - Suzanne gave him a daughter, who received the unusual name Evia.
