Ilya Khoroshilov - in the past, an actor who did not dare to devote himself to the creative profession, became a businessman, experienced ups and downs at a relatively young age. Little is known about what happened to him.
An early marriage, a search for oneself and a long way to happiness - these are perhaps the most important moments of his life.
"The husband of Ekaterina Klimova"
Ilya Khoroshilov is an actor whose biography has remained “behind the scenes”, is better known as the first husband of actress Ekaterina Klimova. Their family life is a story of complex relationships, deception and forgiveness. For many years, happiness was near, but disappeared suddenly, however, as it appeared. The marriage with Klimova ended in divorce, and Ilya forced a deeper analysis of the behavior of loved ones after lies and betrayal.
Catherine was his crazy love since school years, for her he became both the first man and friend, he was going to devote her whole life to her. Even when Catherine studied at the Shchepkinsky school, Ilya Khoroshilov (Klimova’s husband at that time) constantly attended working performances with her participation. Time, usually devoted to joint family leisure and personal affairs, gradually began to be devoted exclusively to her studies and creativity.
Scandalous breakup
The wife’s swift acting career, the obsessive courtship of fans and the performance of duties imposed by publicity, led to the loss of mutual trust. Ilya repeated more than once that he looked like the pale shadow of his wife, although he himself was handsome and wealthy. The birth of the daughter of Elizabeth, who was barely two years old when the family had a crisis, did not save the situation.
There were several reasons for the discord: jealousy, a crazy romance with Igor Petrenko, and misunderstanding. However, then the wife of Ilya did not yet imagine that she could fall in love with someone other than him and leave, taking the child. “I was most surprised that I did so. Everybody has household problems, until the last I expected that they would end, ”said Catherine. However, fate is unpredictable, and everything happened as it happens in bad soap operas.
Ilya set out to save his family: he gave flowers, brought him to the shooting, spent whole days with his daughter. It seemed that if he became different - she would return. Although he felt that they were increasingly moving away from each other. Catherine could not admit that she loves another. However, she soon had to do it. Despite the fact that Ilya Khoroshilov and Klimova have always been considered a happy couple, in 2003, after lengthy scandals, their union broke up. However, little by little the passions subsided, and each of them now lives its own life.
Meeting with Biryukova
It has been several years since Ilya Khoroshilov, an actor with an undeniable talent and uncomplicated career, fell in love with Elena Biryukova, the female lead of the sitcom Sasha + Masha. She at that time was the best friend of his former wife Klimova. Together with Catherine, they played in the comedy Boeing Boeing and several performances. Endless rehearsals and lengthy tours brought together women who later became inseparable friends.
For the first time, Elena Biryukova and Ilya Khoroshilov met at a family celebration. “Once she invited us with her eldest daughter to Lisa’s birthday, where we met Ilya, her then husband,” says Biryukova. Today, Elena does not hide the fact that she always wanted to see such a man in the role of the father of her children.
Relationship start
It was Catherine who proposed Biryukova, whom Ilya Khoroshilov immediately liked, “not to waste time.” At that time, Elena already had the experience of a failed marriage, one raised her daughter Sasha. “It was definitely a joke. Who would have liked the appearance of an acquaintance next to her ex-husband , ”she recalls. And Catherine laughed: "You will be an exemplary stepmother." Then Biryukova decided to try to get closer to Ilya. Moreover, very soon the opportunity presented itself to do this.
Elena recalls that together with Katya and Lisa they were going to go to the circus, something did not work out, and the daughter came with her father. There was a usual conversation: about life, about humor. For some reason, they remembered Comedy Club. Ilya Khoroshilov, an actor in the past, now a well-known fan of this project, was immediately interested in filming the program, to which Elena invited him.
Then he took her to the airport, and they said goodbye for a while. Naturally, the new novel did not immediately flare up, and the idea of starting to live together until she visited any of them. “Then it seemed to me that Ilya is not just monogamous, he is not looking for a relationship at all,” says Elena. In addition, he was very upset by the divorce from Klimova. However, everything turned out well, by the will of fate, not only passion, but also love appeared.
Sentence
For that first year from the moment of their rapprochement, Ilya Khoroshilov gave Elena Biryukova flowers, he courted thoughtfully, old-fashioned, tastefully. She fell in love with jewelry, which she had never before been interested in, because her common-law husband is a professional jeweler. However, at the same time, the person is very shy and modest. When he decided to give his wife a ring of his own production, he simply moved it to Elena, uttering meaningful words: “What do you say?”
Lapping characters
The actress complains that she constantly has to not notice the pedantry of Ilya, who is simply obsessed with accuracy and the pursuit of ideal. Everything should be “pebble to pebble”. For such a creative nature as her, this, of course, is unusual. In turn, he declares that: “Here again, I have an artist, apparently this is my cross,” and smiles shyly.
“Once there was everything: roles and perspectives,” says Ilya Khoroshilov. The actor does not like a photo from the time when Klimova’s pictures did not leave the pages of fashion magazines. However, party vanity and bohemian life always oppressed him, and over time Ilya returned to his usual profession. Now he believes that one actress in the house is enough. “It can be understood, to live a family with people like me is not easy. Do you know how many times Ilya returned for my passport when we were almost leaving? ” - shares Biryukova. Of course, Ilya is far from enthusiastic about the features of acting, but still understands and supports her spouse. He is a real salvation from the boundless chaos of life in which she herself cannot restore order.
Echo of the past
Elena also became a reconciling link for Ilya between his past life, present and future. “He often saw his daughter from his first marriage, talked with Catherine, but did not dare to look in the direction of Igor,” says Biryukova about the Klimova and Petrenko family. A few years later, when they arrived to pick up Lisa, Igor and Ilya shook hands for the first time. “I’ve always said that we don’t have to live in different planes,” she adds. In addition, she has no desire to lose her only real friend, even on tour they are called “lighters” with Ekaterina.
Two years ago, Ilya Khoroshilov and Elena Biryukova visited Cambodia. “This is his favorite country, and he opened it for me,” said the actress. “By the way, the best season there is winter.” However, for long trips it can be difficult to find time: the daughter goes to school, Elena goes on tour, Ilya remains to dream about how they will spend their vacation together again.
Pregnancy
After returning, it became known that Elena was “in position”. “I didn’t have any enthusiasm, and my feelings were contradictory. Still, giving birth at 41 is a big responsibility, ”she shares her doubts. However, it so happened that everyone needed to start life from scratch. In addition, Ilya is an optimistic person and immediately said that he would decide everything. He was convinced that he would become a good father, would help Elena in every way and support her.
The only thing that embarrassed the couple was the reaction of the parents, but they fully supported them, only Elena’s mother was worried at first, at her age it was already unsafe to give birth. Surprisingly, Khoroshilov received approval from Klimova, who congratulated them at the first opportunity. Apparently, there was some kind of incompleteness in their relationship with Catherine until this moment, and only Elena’s pregnancy helped put a logical point in this protracted story.
Little goddess
Naturally, it was necessary to come up with a name for the baby. Probably, providence, as usual, decided to help the couple and offered their own option. “I dreamed of Aglaya,” says Lena. - I looked at the meaning of the name: the goddess of fun and joy. That's right, my youngest daughter is really late joy. ”
Ilya joked that everything was like Dostoevsky in The Idiot. Although Biryukova did not have such associations. But now it’s clear why the joke appeared: the eldest daughter was also called Alexander, the middle one was Aglaya, the youngest was Adelaide. Maybe a sign again? However, none of them is in a hurry to think so far. Elena likes to see how Ilya is messing with her daughter, keeps her hands, whispers pleasant words. Finally, their family has become a real home for all its members. Apparently, it took time to come to this.
Marry unbearable?
Ilya Khoroshilov, contrary to Elena's assurances that she would not become his wife, at least in the near future again proposed to her. “It's so sweet, only he can do that,” she says. He didn’t say anything special to her, he simply asked: “You still refuse, right?”
In response, Biryukova simply nodded, and they laughed together. In fact, she is not yet ready to give a definite answer. “Does that make sense?” - asks Elena. And she dreams of a luxurious wedding. On the other hand, you should not spend money on such nonsense, as there is no need to be tied with stamps.
Now they continue to live in a civil marriage, freedom is more dear to Elena. She said: “I’m not in a hurry to marry, until Khoroshilov I was married to the father of my daughter. I recently realized: I have nowhere to hurry. “I have a wonderful relationship with my beloved man, but we do not have to formalize them.”
Ilya is really distinguished by constancy, rare for a man, he is akin to the periodic table. And Elena has not been afraid of loneliness for a long time and considers marriage a troublesome affair, not that children are completely different. “Life will show everything, and when you are 40, it sometimes only begins,” she rejoices. However, Ilya is also happy with everything today. The eldest adopted daughter Sasha, who is already 14 years old, and she is almost the same age as his own first child, he replaced his father. Caring for your family is what Ilya Khoroshilov is doing now. The actor, whose filmography contains only episodic roles, has long ceased to perceive itself as such. He says that he himself does not want to remember this side of his life and does not advise others. Indeed, there is practically no mention of his long-standing acting career. Today, Ilya is engaged exclusively in the jewelry business, admires her beautiful wife, raises her daughter and is completely satisfied with her life.
