Children and teenagers
Kostya’s childhood, like many Soviet children, took place in the yard. He was troubled in character and was a bully boy. At school, he was even referred to difficult teenagers. With court friends, they often arranged various fights, secretly smoked from their parents. In addition, he was nearly expelled from school for such behavior. The turning point came when Konstantin was in tenth grade. Then he confidently decided to change his whole life, embarking on the right path.
He firmly decided that he should help people, which contributed to the decision to become a nurse. So Konstantin Soloviev enters the medical school. And only after graduation, Konstantin learned that the profession of nurse does not exist, and the specialty written in the diploma is nothing more than a nurse.
Still, having worked a little in his specialty, Konstantin Soloviev soon realized that this was not for him. Not in this way he wanted to be useful to people. Then another thought came to enter the Higher Police School and continue the work of his father. After studying there for two years, he worked for three years in the police, rising to the rank of junior sergeant. But, plunging into the monotonous everyday life of a policeman, he realized that this work was not interesting and boring for him. In the future, this experience will undoubtedly be useful to Konstantin, because very often he will have to play policemen in films.
First shooting experience
The elder sister of Konstantin invited him to go to the theater, where he tried to get twice already. Moreover, in the second year of attempts, he entered simultaneously in four universities.
Already in his second year, a student Konstantin Solovyov, thanks to his physical data and experience gained at the police school, participated in the filming of the movie "Black Ocean" by Ivan Solovov as a stuntman.
In the third year he was invited to the Theater. Vakhtangov, where he played in theatrical productions.
Personal life of Konstantin Solovyov: love at first sight
At one of the student parties in 1999, while studying at the Schukin School, Konstantin met Celine, a student from America. It was love at first sight. The love was so stormy that neither language barriers nor possible separation and distance interfered. Celine was already finishing her studies and had the intention to return to her homeland in Los Angeles, since she did not want to stay in Russia. Solovyov moved to live in America, where he literally took a survival course: without money, friends, and knowledge of a foreign language. All this served him as a good school.
Konstantin Solovyov was amazed at how seriously America took the profession of an actor. At castings, he needed to prove his worth, because even for episodic roles at least ten applicants were announced. Only a person with character and charisma was selected for the role.
Life with the second half took place mainly in trains, airports, flights and partings. Soloviev tried as often as possible to find time for his beloved. In each break between filming, he flew to America.
The rise in popularity in the cinema field
But the actor did not lose touch with Russia and was constantly involved in many films. So, Konstantin Solovyov, whose filmography includes about 13 main roles, took part in episodic scenes. At that time, such films were shot with his participation: “We Will Meet” (1999), “The President and His Granddaughter” (1999), “Queen's Gambit” (1999). In the feature film directed by Mikhail Ptashuk in August 44th, which was released in 2001, Soloviev played the role of Nikolaev fighter.
The first major stage in the formation of acting was the participation in the series of the director Alexander Atanesyan "Summer Rain", where Konstantin Soloviev was invited to the role of surgeon Sergei Nazarov. Photos of the actor began to appear more often on the pages of magazines and newspapers.
After the painting “Summer Rain” Soloviev became popular. In addition, his external data and charm with incredible speed conquered the female audience. Konstantin is invited to play in many TV shows.

Many of his roles are known as his lover in the film “Doomed to become a star” (2005), the American Max Callogen in the film “Russian Means” (2006), the chief of security for the concern in the film “Rich and Beloved” (2008 .), Andrei Simonov in The Executioner (2006), journalist
Pavel Ilyin in the Trust Service (2007), teacher Konstantin Sudar in the TV series Two Sisters (2008) and the wanderer in the movie Fighter (2008).
Craving for Russia turned out to be stronger: divorce from a beloved
Life between the two countries was beyond the power of Constantine and Celine. In addition, nothing united them, neither children, nor common views, and different mentalities did not make it possible to save the marriage. In such a rhythm, their relationship lasted nine years. As a result, they just cooled off to each other, and the marriage itself broke up peacefully.
New acquaintance, new hopes ...
In 2008, the actor Konstantin Soloviev was invited to the series of Daria Poltoratskaya “Lace”, where he was supposed to play businessman Martin Heiken.

According to the actor himself, dating might not have happened. Eugenia Akhrimenko had a permanent residence in America. In Russia, her parents lived.
Arriving to visit her parents, Eugene got on the set of the series "Lace", where she got a tiny role. Both Konstantin and Eugene at that moment were still not free, but each of them had a relationship on the verge of breaking. For a whole year they met occasionally. And only after the breakdown of relations between Konstantin and Celine and Eugenia with her young man, they began to live together. Konstantin had to persuade Zhenya to change his place of residence and move to Russia. In addition, Eugene from the family of a diplomat, therefore, it was necessary to somehow win the trust of her parents, convincing that the actor would be able to support his family, engage in raising children and devote time to his beloved.
Birth of sons
Soon, Eugene became pregnant, which served as another impetus in their relationship. The couple had a son, Daniel, and four years later, Eugene on the birthday of Constantine gave him another son - Timothy.
