Vasily Lykshin is a young Russian actor who, according to cinema experts, expected incredible success in Hollywood. He belonged to those nuggets who, as they say, "received a happy lottery ticket." But, apparently, fate decreed differently, and in 2009 the guy died. This event shocked millions of people, since no one even suspected that this could happen.
Childhood
Vasily Lykshin, a biography filled with both positive and negative events, was born in 1987 on January 27. The boy's family was, to put it mildly, dysfunctional. Vasya's parents were deprived of parental rights in 1997 due to constant drinking, and the boy was sent to the orphanage in which he lived and studied. Together with him, brother and sister were left without parental care, in the orphanage the children learned that my mother gave birth to another child.
A year later, Papa Lykshina passed away, and mother decided to start a new life, got married and took her children. Family life has not changed much, except that the stepfather drank not so often.
Wrong turn
Vasily Lykshin, whose photo you see in this article, fully corresponded to the image of a child from a dysfunctional family. Already at the age of 7, the guy smoked and drank, more than once broke the law, but because of his small age he was always released. At school, the guy studied very poorly, while he was constantly rude to teachers and could not find a common language with his peers. One fine day of such a sloppy life, the boy ended up in prison.
Together with their friends, they decided to get to the cottage of a general. Their goal was not the desire to steal something, the guys just really wanted to eat. Vasily and his friends could not even think that numerous cameras were located on the territory. The police took the guys straight from the scene of the crime. The sentence was not in Vasya's favor, and he ended up in a juvenile colony.
A chance presented by fate
The famous director Svetlana Stasenko held another casting for her film “An Angel on the Sidelines,” but not one child did not meet her requirements. Quite by chance, in her hands was a film that she once shot in an orphanage, and suddenly Vasily Lykshin appeared on the screen ... Svetlana was sure that this guy should play a major role in her film.
Assistant directors found the boy in the colony, and they managed to persuade the director of the institution to let the guy go on the set. Vasya set his conditions to the director that he would act in the film only if this time was counted in his term.
The role was given to the guy very easily, since, in fact, he played himself - a boy from a dysfunctional family who found himself in prison. Lykshin behaved very responsibly, like a real professional, and soon the whole film crew fell in love with the boy. The film was appreciated not only by ordinary viewers, but also by specialists. Young Vasily Lykshin received the Young Artist Awards, which is given to extremely talented children-actors.
New family
Filming is over, awards are handed out, there is only one question left: "What to do with the little prisoner?" Svetlana could not refuse such a talented and sincere boy and return him to prison again, the director decided to adopt Vasya. That’s how the boy’s life changed dramatically, now he is popular and lives in a good family. A year later, Vasily Lykshin, an actor who achieved everything only with his labor and talent, took part in the filming of the sensational film “Bastards” and in the series “Gromovs”.
According to the guy, it was difficult for him to get used to the new family and its orders, since he lived for a long time according to the laws of the colony and the orphanage. In one of his interviews, Vasya told how he drank a lot, walked his fees, even brought the girls home. For such behavior he is very ashamed of Sveta and her children, but he already had such a period. As soon as Lykshin was 18 years old, he thanked the adoptive mother and decided to return to his family. Acting positively influenced the guy and dramatically changed his character. He became more responsible, responsive and stop going downhill. In 2008, Vasya married a girl, Lena, who at that time already had a son, Nikita, 6 years old. She worked as a journalist, and fate brought them together with Vasya. The following year, the couple had a common daughter, who was named Kira.
Unexpected tragedy
Vasily never suffered from star fever, and he perceived every new role with gratitude. Then the guy received a great offer - to take part in the filming of the popular series "Ranetki." It was this series that was the last for him. Vasily Lykshin, whose cause of death was a shock for many, came to the site on October 16, 2009, to star in several scenes. The group claims that everything was, as always, the guy was feeling fine. On the 17th, Vasya returned home and went to bed, at night his heart stopped beating. The reason for the incident is completely incomprehensible, since the young man felt good and did not complain about anything.
Vasya had a severely curved nasal septum, as his nose was broken about 8 times. It was this that could provoke a sharp increase in intracranial pressure, which caused a stroke. This is one of the versions of what happened. The widow of a guy does not believe in chance and says that her husband was killed.
Unfulfilled dreams
Vasily Lykshin dreamed of playing many more roles, especially he wanted to try to realize the image of a negative hero. In addition, he had a goal to buy himself a small but cozy house on the beach, where he lived with his family. Fate decided differently, and the guy left, leaving a loving wife and little daughter, who on the day of his death first said the word "dad."
