Who is Nikita Tarasov? How was your career as an artist? Filming in which films brought the actor fame? What is known about his personal life? We will talk about all this in our article.
early years
Actor Nikita Tarasov was born on December 3, 1979 in Riga. The father of our hero earned his living by performing on stage as a musician. Mom worked in the design bureau of the railway carriage plant.
Since the head of the family was forced to constantly go on tour as part of the ensembles "Funny Guys" and "Eolika", Nikita Tarasov actually grew up behind the scenes. At the age of 7, the boy first appeared on the television screen, starring with his father in one of the episodes of the popular program “Morning Mail”.
Since childhood, the guy studied playing a variety of musical instruments. Nikita especially liked the piano. At age 12, the boy fully mastered the synthesizer and began to create arrangements. After some time, the young man began to earn money as a DJ at a radio station.
Before graduation, Nikita Tarasov associated fate exclusively with music and did not even think about the career of an actor. Everything turned upside down when, at the age of 17, the guy was offered to play the role of Sergei Yesenin in a school theater production. The boy really liked the transformation into the image of the famous poet, so at the end of school he decided to submit documents for admission to the Moscow Art Theater. Nikita Tarasov was enrolled in a prestigious university on the first try, and Oleg Tabakov himself became his teacher.
Movie debut
To star in films Nikita Tarasov began in 2000. At this time, the aspiring actor was invited to play a small role in the comedy film "Little Vovochka." Despite the lack of experience, the guy did an excellent job, which allowed him to draw attention to his own person from respected directors.
After a successful debut, Nikita Tarasov began to try himself in a variety of ways, from intellectuals to heroes-lovers. It is worth noting that the young man was given roles mainly in comedy films, which was facilitated by his type. However, at the start of his career, the actor met quite serious work, for example, shooting in the films Esenin, The Moscow Saga, and Intimate Places.
Artist's finest hour
Real success came to Nikita in 2012, when he was offered to star in the promising television sitcom "Kitchen". Here, the actor got the image of a French pastry chef named Louis Benoit. The hero of Tarasov appeared in each season of the humorous series, and later appeared in several full-length parts of the film.
Participation in the filming of the sitcom "Kitchen" allowed Nikita to become a prominent figure in domestic cinema. As the actor himself notes, the original image of the eccentric confectioner, which he managed to fully reveal on the screen, is not the fruit of someone's sick imagination, but acts as a compilation of the types of famous chefs.
Nikita Tarasov - personal life
In 2016, the actor began dating an ordinary girl named Olga. Nikita planned to propose to the beloved to bind fate to marriage, but soon a real drama broke out in the relationship. Since the age difference between Nikita and Olga was as much as 16 years, the girl’s parents did not accept the guy in the family. Relatives of the artist’s chosen one also hinted that he appears on the screen in “wrong” images, playing men of non-traditional orientation. All this led to an early breakdown.
Despite the fact that the actor turned 38 not so long ago, he does not have a family and children. Nothing is known about the artist’s romantic relationship with women either. According to Nikita, he has not yet met the one who is ready to put up with the difficult work schedule of a serious artist.
