Personal life of Boris Nevzorov and his family tragedies

Biography

Boris Nevzorov was born into the family of a housewife and a party worker - chairman of the Starominsky district executive committee. The actor talks about his roots: “I am Kranodar, by blood I am a Kuban Cossack. I lived there only until I was three years old, then my father was transferred to Astrakhan. I am the fifth child in the family – the youngest, I also have two sisters and two brothers.”

The future actor spent his childhood in Astrakhan. He grew up as an ordinary kid, no different from his peers: he played with the boys in the yard, played pranks, and ran to the Volga for a swim. None of the boy’s relatives and entourage had anything to do with the theater, or art in general. However, already at the age of seven, Bora was destined to come into contact with the acting profession. “When I watched the play of the Astrakhan Theater of Young Spectators “Puss in Boots” in first grade, this performance killed me on the spot. And my friends and I started playing “Puss in Boots” in the yard. Everyone walked, looked, clapped - this was the first glory of the street performer,” recalls the actor.

Boris really enjoyed acting, but he had completely different plans for his life, which, fortunately, did not come true. “Everything was decided by chance. By the end of school, my passion for theater had subsided. I was actually going to go to medical school, I even went there to take the exam. And I walked past the Youth Theater and thought: “I’ll stop by.” And then, apparently as fate would have it, I came across the main director, who asked: “What do you want?” And suddenly, unexpectedly for myself, I answer: “I want to work for you. Can someone listen to me?” “Let’s go,” he says. He took me into the room, I read a poem, he listened with interest: “Okay, you will work with us as a supporting artist, you are enrolled, come to rehearsal tomorrow.” So, right away, without any special education, I started playing all sorts of bears, hares and even Santa Claus. I finished the season, and the director advised me to go to Moscow to enter the theater school. That’s how it all started,” the artist shared.

After serving a season at the Youth Theater, on the recommendation of the theater's chief director Eduard Kuptsov, the actor set off to conquer Moscow. I entered the Shchepkinsky School the first time. But in the third year he dropped out due to an internal conflict between the ideals of a peripheral young man and the cruel Moscow reality.

You can only leave “Sliver”, but the young man could not leave himself. In the TV show “Life Line” he admitted: “It wasn’t like that. I must tell you that once you have become infected with this bacillus, it is impossible to get rid of it. And so, after working as a janitor for six months, I turned around and went to the Studio School of the Moscow Art Theater. They took me to the second year. But I was advised to go to the first one with the wonderful teacher Viktor Karlovich Manyukov, to whom I am grateful to the end of my life. Because he pulled me out of the deep hole I was in.”

Among the many students, the master especially singled out Boris Nevzorov. And by the end of his studies, the teacher explained to the aspiring actor what this was connected with: “Nevzorov, for me you are the most mysterious student I have ever had. You don't know how to do basic things. But when I reach a dead end and don’t know how to make a very difficult piece, you, the bastard, do it “once”, and without asking anyone.”

First year

My parents easily let me go to Moscow. Boris Georgievich admits that he believed in the capital’s theater as in some kind of aerial world that would be too tough for him. He drove into the unknown, in fears and doubts, not understanding what was happening and where he was going.

However, the first time the guy entered the famous “Sliver”. And he was so grateful to fate that he immediately made a broad gesture: he refused the scholarship. So his mother sent him 30 rubles a month so that he could live, at the very least.

The first year forced the enthusiastic provincial to reconsider his views. He realized that here, as elsewhere, he had to put a lot of effort into his studies and work. That all the magic of this world is created by the same actors and directors - with the help of their talent, colossal dedication and ability to work.

Theater

The actor received his first serious roles back in his native School-Studio. With them he came to a new theater created on the outskirts of the capital. “It so happened that on the basis of our course, and I graduated from the School-Studio of the Moscow Art Theater in 1975, the Moscow New Drama Theater was organized. Witty artists called it “The theater is neither a village nor a city,” explains the artist.

For seven years Boris Nevzorov worked at the New Theater, then played at the Theater. Mossovet. On the stage of the Drama Theater named after. K. S. Stanislavsky shone in the role of Jourdain in the play “The Bourgeois Nobleman” based on J. Molière. For this work he was awarded the Innocent Smoktunovsky Prize.

The actor even repaid his “debt to the Motherland” on stage: “I served, like most representatives of the acting profession, in the theater of the Soviet Army. Such service is practically no different from the work of a young artist - he went on stage as an extra, as a substitute, and even played a couple of roles during his service.”

In 2005, the actor finally found a creative haven at the Maly Theater. “I had to go through all the circles of hell and heaven,” says Boris, “to work in many theaters in Moscow - the Soviet Army Theater, the Mossovet Theater, the Stanislavsky Theater, and the New Dramatic Theater. And suddenly it turned out that the Maly Theater was exactly what I wanted. The most interesting, the most difficult and seductive thing is to work in this ponderous, as it seemed to me before, patriarchal system. And I was incredibly happy when, after many years, I received an invitation from Yuri Methodievich. And for me it was very flattering, honorable, and responsible. Because many people are invited to the Maly Theater, but very few people stay there. You have to settle in there. This is my home now."

Roles at the Maly Theater:

2006 - “The Inspector General” by N.V. Gogol, dir. Yu. Solomin (Lyapkin-Tyapkin)
2007 - “Dmitry the Pretender and Vasily Shuisky” by A. N. Ostrovsky, dir. V. Dragunov (Vasily Shuisky)
2009 — “Wolves and Sheep” by A. N. Ostrovsky, dir. V. Ivanov (Lynyaev)
2010 - “Wedding, wedding, wedding!” by A.P. Chekhov, dir. V. Ivanov (Chubukov)
2011 - “Don Juan” by A.K. Tolstoy, dir. A. Klyukvin (Satan)
2012 - “Vanyushin’s Children” based on S. Naydenov, dir. V. Ivanov (Alexander Egorovich Vanyushin)
2014 — “Masquerade (play)” by M. Yu. Lermontov, dir. A. A. Zhitinkin (Unknown)

The play “Vanyushin's Children” based on the play by Sergei Naydenov and directed by V. Ivanov has been on the stage of the Maly Theater for the fifth year and has been a constant success. “This is a poem of missed chances, probably,” says Boris Nevzorov. – Or a parable of missed opportunities. Probably, life is life because you, as a rule, miss these opportunities.” The main character played by the actor is Vanyushin Sr., the father of six children. Only at the end of his days does he realize how alien everyone in his large family has become. The image created by the artist is akin to Shakespeare's in terms of drama. It’s not for nothing that Vanyushin is called the “Russian King Lear.”

One of the actor’s last theatrical works was Unknown in the drama “Masquerade” based on M.Yu. Lermontov. The famous play about high passions, deceit and love, the purity and darkness of human souls was staged by director Andrei Zhitinkin. Following a good tradition, the famous couturier Vyacheslav Zaitsev took part in the work on the costumes for the performance. They are made according to his sketches. On stage together with Boris Nevzorov the following shone: Boris Klyuev, Polina Dolinskaya, Vladimir Nosik, Elena Kharitonova.

Despite his devotion to his native theater, the artist also takes part in private performances. So, together with Vladimir Dolinsky, Sergei Nikonenko, Maria Boltneva, Andrei Leonov, he plays in the comedy “The Pranks of a Married Rogue or the Trap” by Robert Manukyan.

Professional activity

After graduating from a theater school in 1975, the young actor was accepted into the troupe of the capital's New Drama Theater . Boris served on his stage for seven years, gaining invaluable experience and the love of his first fans.

Instead of the army, Boris served in the Soviet Army Theater, like most artists. During this period, the young man mainly appeared on stage as an extra and occasionally replaced some actors.

From 1984 to 1986, the artist worked at the Mossovet Theater , and then returned to the Drama Theater. From 1989 to 1991 he was an actor at the Gorky Central Children's and Youth Theater.

From 1993 to 2005, Boris played on the stage of the capital's Stanislavsky Drama Theater, where he served for seven years. The actor’s most striking role was the character of Jourdain in Semyon Spivak’s play “The Bourgeois Nobleman.” For this work, Boris was awarded the Innokenty Smoktunovsky Prize.

Fruitful work has also connected the artist with the Maly Theater since 2005. Among the most memorable productions with the participation of Boris are: “Don Juan”, “Wedding, Wedding, Wedding!”, “Children of Vanyushin”, “Wolves and Sheep” and “Masquerade”.

Also, from time to time, the artist plays in enterprise performances, for example, “The Trap” (2009). Today, the artist also teaches at the Academy of Theater Arts (GITIS).

Boris made his film debut immediately after graduating from theater school in 1975. The young man’s first film was the adventure melodrama “The Road” directed by Leonid Popov, in which Boris immediately got the main role - the builder Pavel Andreev.

The filmography of the famous artist includes more than 120 film projects of various genres. The films that made Boris famous among viewers are:

“Find and neutralize” (Fedor);
“Young Russia” (Ivan Ryabov);
“Without much risk” (Granovsky Yuri);
“The red color of fern” (Sudakov);
“Moscow speaks” (Vasily Orlov).

In films, he most often plays strong and positive men. This is the guy women usually fall in love with. The artist very often worked with venerable film directors.

In the 2000s, the artist mostly played in multi-part films, including:

"New Russian Romance";
"Hot Ice";
"Kamenskaya";
"Relatives";
"Mistress of the Taiga";
“Dear Masha Berezina”;
"My big family".

As a director, Boris shot the following film projects: “The Priest Had a Dog” (1993) and “A Woman without a Past” (2008). Has experience in film scoring.

In recent years (2017-2019), the artist could be seen in the films Love and Sax, Dinosaur, and Everything Could Be Different. Boris never refuses to star in TV series , because he believes it’s worse to sit without work.

Also in 2020, it is planned to release a multi-part drama directed by Sergei Komarov, “Crane in the Sky,” in which Boris plays one of the leading roles.

Cinema

The actor remembers his film debut as a failure: “After graduating from the institute, the creative association “Ekran” launched a film called “The Road” - this is such a typical Soviet script, we filmed it in Naberezhnye Chelny.” After filming this film, the directors simply did not notice Boris Nevzorov for a long time.

“But chance helped,” says the artist about his second role, which turned out to be more successful. — Because the Odessa Film Studio launched a film called “Marshal of the Revolution.” It was necessary to play Blucher there. And from the photographs, someone decided that I looked very much like Blucher.” With this historical and biographical picture about the life of the legendary commander Mikhail Frunze, Boris Nevzorov’s path to cinema essentially began.

A few years later, the artist received his first major cinematic award for best acting. He was awarded this award for his role as Evkhim in Viktor Turov’s drama “People in the Swamp.” The partner in the film was Marina Yakovleva.

"Young Russia"

In 1982, Ilya Gurin’s historical drama “Young Russia” about the creation of the Russian fleet at the beginning of the 18th century was released. The role of the feedman Ivan Ryabov brought the actor all-Union fame, and he rightfully considers this work his great success: “Of course, I am grateful to fate for the film “Young Russia.” We filmed it in nine months - nine episodes. The filming was exhausting. The painting was removed, returned and put on a shelf. It was not released on screen for almost two years. Some people thought it was too chauvinistic. But, nevertheless, they still showed it. This was my first big job.”

The film starred a whole constellation of the best Soviet actors, and Ryabov’s wife, Taisya, was played by Alexandra Yakovleva. It is noteworthy that Nevzorov’s childhood in Astrakhan helped him get used to the image of a feedman. “I was very interested in sailing - as soon as the ice melted, we were already going out on our boats to the Volga... Then, when I was filming “Young Russia”, this experience was very useful to me - I clearly knew what and how to do, what part is called what and what to do what it serves,” said the artist.

Later there were films: “Here is your front”, “Without much risk”, “Moscow speaks”, “City above your head”. And in 1986, the artist was again invited to the historical project “Primordial Rus'” directed by Gennady Vasiliev. The film takes place in Ancient Rus' - in those days when the Slavs, united in an army under the leadership of Ratibor, the son of Vseslav, managed to win their first victories over the nomadic tribes. The actor played the role of Vseslav in the film, and his ensemble included such masters as Lyudmila Chursina, Innokenty Smoktunovsky, Margarita Terekhova, Igor Dmitriev and others.

In 1990, Nikolai Burlyaev directed the drama “Everything is Ahead” about the influence of Western civilization on the Russian mentality. The director recalls about the creation of the film: “The script was bought from the author Vasily Belov, but then the critics simply destroyed this novel. I dared to make this film. The main character was understandable. There are three main characters: this is Medvedev, this is Ivanov - Gostyukhin played him brilliantly - and Brish - Aristarkh Livanov.” Boris Nevzorov played the role of physicist Dmitry Medvedev in the film. Unable to withstand his wife's betrayal on a business trip abroad and troubles at work, a talented scientist drinks himself into alcohol, cleanses himself and becomes a villager, returning to his roots.

During the same period, the actor created vivid images in such films as: “Inhuman”, “Is it good to sleep with someone else’s wife!?”, “Gladiator for Hire”, “The Priest Had a Dog”, “Prince Yuri Dolgoruky” and others.

Series

The 2000s in Russian cinema were marked by the massive release of TV series. Boris Nevzorov also starred in many of them: “Turkish March”, “Lady Homeless”, “Kamenskaya”, “Dasha Vasilyeva”.

The actor’s “soap marathon” began with a youth television novel about school life. “From the role of the school principal in Simple Truths,” recalls the artist. — During the course of the story, several generations of students changed, but my director remained unchanged - apparently he worked well. After the show was shown, letters from schoolchildren began to come to me, just like in the good old days: the kids regret that they don’t have such a director.”

The director of the film, Yuri Belenky, commented on the popularity of Nevzorov’s character: “Boris has one quality... Why did he turn out to be a very good school director? Because, despite his gray hair, mustache, glasses and everything else, he is really just a child at heart. How he misbehaved on the playground!..”

Serial directors, in contrast to their theatrical colleagues, increasingly offered the actor to play positive characters. Such, for example, were: Alexander Trofimov - the father of the main character in the melodrama “Hot Ice”; General Pereverzev in “Lavrova’s Method” with Svetlana Khodchenkova and Dmitry Blokhin in the lead roles; dedicated plant director Gusev in “My Big Family”.

"Sofia"

In recent years, perhaps the actor’s most ambitious and interesting work took place on the set of the historical film “Sofia,” where Boris took on the role of boyar Mamonov. The artist says about the project: “The series is dedicated to the life of Sofia Paleolog, the grandmother of Ivan the Terrible. The scenery is top class. Director Vyacheslav Ross tried to look deep into the centuries. The script was rewritten several times, the director offered us a list of 30 books to review. An entire ancient city was built at VDNKh, the Kremlin is still white, and not the usual red, there will be a lot of computer graphics, an epic picture. A whole group of costume designers worked on creating the costumes. The fabric was ordered from India, China, and Europe. I haven’t participated in this before, they say that after filming the pavilions will be opened to the public, just as Sarai-Batu was left near Astrakhan after filming “The Horde.”

The plot covers a period of several decades from the end of the 15th century, when the united Russian state was forever freed from the power of the Horde khans. And Pope Paul II, in order to bring the Catholic and Orthodox churches closer together, proposed the Byzantine princess Sophia Paleologue as a wife to Ivan the Third.

In an interview with the Rossiya K TV channel, the director of the film, Fr.

“We wanted our thoughts and aspirations to correspond to the historical moment that we represent, and we imagine them as quite serious, noble people who were very concerned about the fate of their fatherland,” said Boris Nevzorov.

In total, the actor has more than a hundred bright and original roles. He equally deeply and theatrically aptly draws the characters of both the main characters and episodic characters. His historical images, military men of various ranks, caring fathers, loving husbands and devoted friends always resonate in the audience’s hearts.

KisTv

Born 01/18/1950, Starominskaya village, Krasnodar region

Honored Artist of Russia

Laureate of the State Prize of the RSFSR named after the Vasiliev Brothers (1985)

Childhood

Boris Nevzorov was born on January 18, 1950 in the village of Starominskaya, Krasnodar Territory. The future actor lived in an ancient provincial city on the Volga - Astrakhan. This is where there are plenty of watermelons, tomatoes, cucumbers, and also fish - roach! And it was in such vegetarian conditions that the guy became an actor. True, this is a big mystery for everyone and for himself in the first place. Neither Boris Nevzorov's family nor his circle ever had anything to do with art. The fact is that, as usual, all schoolchildren in those days were taken to the local Theater for Young Spectators, as they said then “according to orders from above.” The theater amazed and captivated the boy’s imagination. At that time, the production of “Puss in Boots” was successfully staged at the theater. He knew all the arias - from beginning to end! At home with a friend I began to act out something similar: they built a semblance of a stage on the street, brought in light bulbs that resembled spotlights, and even invited spectators. But then, towards the end of school, all this somehow slowly died down and began to be forgotten. And Borya Nevzorov decided to study to become a doctor.

Theater

Then everything was like in a good movie: before taking the exams, Boris Nevzorov looked into the Youth Theater and came across the main director, timidly asked him to listen, read a poem and... was enrolled in the theater! Just like that, without education, Boris Nevzorov, as if by magic, became a “supporting artist.” But what does this mean in the peripheral theater, where there has always been a shortage of artists? The guy immediately started playing all sorts of bears, hares, a bell boy and even Santa Claus! This role was the pinnacle of Nevzorov’s creativity in Astrakhan at that time. After working for a season, on the advice of the theater's chief director Eduard Kuptsov, Boris Nevzorov went to Moscow and entered the Shchepkinsky School the first time. But after three years of study, the young man had a collapse of illusions - a conflict between the ideals of a peripheral young man and Moscow reality. I even had to leave the school, but after toiling as a janitor for a year and a half, the talented guy entered again, though this time to the Moscow Art Theater School. That's when everything started to go. The New Theater was organized on the basis of the course. Avid theatergoers will remember the brilliant works of Boris Nevzorov in this theater. Then the artist played in the theater. Mossovet, Drama Theater named after Konstantin Stanislavsky, and then was enrolled in the troupe of the Maly Theater. The main role of the actor on the Maly stage was the role of judge Lyapkin-Tyapkin in the play “The Inspector General,” directed by Yuri Solomin. “In a short period of time at the Maly Theater, I managed to feel the atmosphere of the theater - home and be convinced of the acting brotherhood that is characteristic only of the Ostrovsky House,” Boris Georgievich once admitted.

Movie

In parallel with his theatrical life, the actor’s relationship with cinema was actively developing. True, for Boris Nevzorov they began difficultly and chaotically, but maybe this was for the best, because it is known from bitter experience that those who started early and brightly in cinema quickly and just as brightly declined. And Nevzorov, thanks to the protracted search for his role, has always had a fairly active life on the screen. In the debut film “I Can’t Say: Goodbye,” Boris Nevzorov got a completely unnoticeable role. Then, at the very beginning of his film career, he, as they say, almost found himself without a job. The actor starred in a very unsuccessful movie, a kind of grotesque socialist realism - the TV movie “The Road”. By filming this film, Boris Nevzorov almost ruined his entire cinematic future: for two years the actor was not invited to act anywhere at all. The world of cinema is a very small place: your successes and failures are visible to everyone and are remembered for a long time. An accident helped Nevzorov get out of this vacuum: the actor turned out to be similar in appearance to Marshal Blucher, and director Sergei Linkov at the Odessa film studio was just at that time looking for a similar actor to play the famous Blucher in the historical and biographical film about the Red Army military leader, revolutionary Mikhail Frunze “Marshal” revolution." Also, thanks to the external similarity, Boris Nevzorov played the Soviet designer Koshkin in the history of the creation of the T-34 tank in the pre-war years. “Chief Designer” based on the book by Yakov Reznik “The Creation of Armor”. The actor began to be recognized after playing the role of helmsman Ivan Ryabov in the film “Young Russia”, dedicated to the creation of the Russian fleet at the turn of the 18th century, directed by Ilya Gurin. This role brought Boris Nevzorov all-Union fame and he rightfully considers this work his great success. Even during his school years, Nevzorov was very fond of sailing - as soon as the ice melted, he and his friends were already going out on their boat on the Volga... Then, when the actor starred in “Young Russia,” this experience was very useful to him. He clearly knew what to do and how to do it, what part was called what and what it was used for. And again the historical film “Primordial Rus'” directed by Gennady Vasiliev based on the novel by Viktor Ivanov and again Nevzorov has one of the main roles - the role of the leader of the unification of disparate Slavic tribes to fight the Khazars Vseslav and again a stunning success after the film was shown.

1980 - 2000s

As a rule, Boris Nevzorov played the main roles and always successfully. His heroes were always charming, selfless and courageous. They asserted nobility as the norm. Together with Elena Borzova and Yuri Kazyuchits, the actor starred in the village duology “People in the Swamps” based on the novel “Polessk Chronicle” by Ivan Melezh. In partnership with the beautiful Lyudmila Zaitseva, he brilliantly played for Yuri and Renat Grigoriev in the wartime film story “Moscow Speaks”. Boris Nevzorov embodied on the screen the image of a strong, sweeping, sometimes reckless man, whose sincerity always prevails over rationality. In film adaptations: “High Blood”, “Everything Is Ahead”, “Inhuman, or Hunting Is Forbidden in Paradise”, “The Shore of Salvation”, “Is It Good to Sleep with Another Man’s Wife!? “The actor used theatrical techniques and emphatically expressed transformation. Nevzorov’s work in the melodrama “Temptation” is one of his best works. The actor plays a doctor who witnesses the conflict between the main characters Sergei Astakhov and Yaroslav Boyko, and reflects on the topic of love and duty. The task of Nevzorov’s hero in the film is the “voice of the author,” the assessment of an outside observer. And, thanks to him, a rethinking of many values involuntarily occurs. Boris Nevzorov's talent pushed him towards directing. He made his debut as a director with the film “The Priest Had a Dog...”. A crime drama about the Russian Monte Cristo, who sets up an impromptu casemate in the basement of an unfinished house and tricks his offenders into it, who once undeservedly imprisoned him on a bunk. Along with Boris Nevzorov himself, popular actors took part in the film: Igor Bochkin, Inna Timofeeva, Oleg Shklovsky.

Series

With the role of the school principal in the film “Simple Truths,” Boris Nevzorov’s “soap marathon” on TV series began. During the course of the story, several generations of students changed, but its director remained unchanged. After the show was shown, schoolchildren bombarded the artist with letters, just like in the good old days, the kids regretted that they didn’t have such a director. Actors of the older generation are quite wary of TV series; they consider them hackwork, a low-grade product. But Boris Nevzorov has a completely different opinion. He believes it is impossible for himself to refuse to star in TV series and at the same time sit without work. “Someone can afford it, that’s their right. But it doesn’t take long to lose your acting skills from idleness, but in TV series, on the contrary, you can acquire something new. After all, it’s all about how you treat your work; you can cheat even in a big movie.” It just so happened that serial directors see Nevzorov as an actor of a positive role. That’s why the actor’s characters in the TV series: “Turkish March”, “Lady Homeless”, “Kamenskaya...” in “Dasha Vasilyeva” have very different professions, but are mostly good people. Such is Nevzorov’s investigator Buryak in “Healing by Love,” the reverent Boris in “The Mistress,” and the sedate priest in “She-Wolf.”

Personal life

When Boris Nevzorov sometimes has free time, he ... sleeps. But this is during the day, because the actor is a night owl by nature. And at night he likes to read and sit at the computer. She loves to cook and believes that it is a great stress reliever. He cooks from everything that is at hand, even if these things seem incompatible - and the result is something unexpected and tasty. The actor also has typically male hobbies and passions. Of course, booze. After all, there is no Russian man who doesn’t like to drink - the main thing is to know when and where to stop. And Boris Georgievich knows! The actor has a large collection of men's watches: gifts from friends, and he buys them in different countries. He dreams of making a documentary about our province - for the soul, not for commerce. For this, even the actor bought a professional film camera. But Boris Nevzorov’s biggest male hobby is a powerful sports car. This is certainly a purely male matter: driving such a car. Friends, however, consider this particular hobby of the artist to be childish: “Are you still running around? Look at your passport. It’s time to be more respectable,” but Boris Nevzorov does not agree with this at all: “But it seems to me that only now I have felt the taste of life, I began to understand something about myself and the world around me. And it’s so interesting to live, and there are so many things I want to try, so many plans and desires!

Director

However, the talented actor decided to go further and try his hand at directing. In this capacity, he made his debut in 1993 in the crime film “The Priest Had a Dog...”. The author invited famous actors to the drama about deceit, betrayal and revenge: Igor Bochkin, Viktor Proskurin, Irina Timofeeva, Oleg Shklovsky, Lyudmila Ivanova.

15 years later, Boris Nevzorov filmed the series “A Woman Without a Past” about a business and modern girl who tragically lost her memory and starts life from scratch. Many are trying to take advantage of her helpless situation. They try to manipulate in order to achieve their own goals. The main role in the film was played by Maria Anikanova.

Actor

All the Nevzorov children mastered working professions: the eldest son went to sea, the second worked as a radio operator all his life, his sister was a seamstress. The second sister held the highest position - she graduated from the university and worked as a mathematics teacher. When the time came for Boris to enroll, he said that he wanted to become an actor.

The parents took the news calmly. The actor himself believes that they were sure that the ardent young man would burn out. He will look at the magical world of art from the inside, taste it himself and burn out.

For the first time, Boris Nevzorov tried his luck in the Astrakhan Youth Theater. Since childhood, he was fascinated by the performances in this theater, and when he got older, he one day simply ran into the temple of art and asked the director to listen to him. He thought about it and included the guy in the second team. Now Nevzorov played small supporting roles, but, of course, dreamed of working in the capital.

Still from the film “The Crossing” or “The Red Color of the Fern.”

Personal life

The actor tries not to show off his personal life, but some facts from it are still known. Boris met his first wife in his early youth: “We met Marina when I was 19 and she was 16 years old. It was such romantic love! Such passions! I was sick: I saw what was not there and completely ignored the obvious. And then I recovered and received my sight. And there was a complete collapse of illusions: both personal and professional - my provincial ideals did not want to come to terms with the metropolitan reality. I dropped out of school and worked as a janitor for a year. Then he came to his senses and entered the Moscow Art Theater School, again as a first-year student, and met a new love...” From his first marriage, the artist has a son, who now lives in England.

Boris was brought together by his second beloved, actress Anastasia Ivanova, through their joint work in the film “I Can’t Say Goodbye.” Just during the filming of the film, their romance was just beginning. A year and a half later, the couple had Polina. Unfortunately, Nastya died tragically. The artist took this loss very hard, but worries about his beloved daughter forced him to hold on.

The girl grew up and wanted to follow in her father’s footsteps, but he dissuaded her from this step: “Polina at some point began to make such plans. I persuaded her, I simply begged her: “Don’t, daughter, being an artist is not a profession. Today it is important to have reliable ground under your feet.” Thank God, I obeyed. You see how everything turned out again: I didn’t make it to medical school, but Polinka succeeded - she’s correcting my mistakes.” In 2012, Boris Nevzorov became a grandfather; his beloved daughter gave him a grandson, Zakhar.

Three years after the death of his wife, the actor married again. He said about his new wife: “My Allochka is the actress Alla Panova, she is my first institute love, from the Shchepkinsky School. Then we broke up, then I went to the Moscow Art Theater, then many different good and bad events happened. Everyone had their own life. And suddenly, after 23 years, we met again, completely by accident. And our fate turned out to be so similar - I was a widower with a daughter, Alla was a widow with a son... Somehow I immediately remembered everything, forgotten feelings awoke. Apparently, God was pleased with this meeting.” The couple lived together for ten years, but then a high-profile divorce followed with the division of property.

The actor's new common-law wife, Elena Khripunova, has nothing to do with art; she works in the accounting department of the Maly Theater, where the actor works. The chosen one is 25 years younger than the artist and does not lose hope of giving him a son or daughter.

Boris Nevzorov spoke about the details of his personal life in the program “The Fate of a Man with Boris Korchevnikov.”

Early years

It was in Astrakhan that his childhood years passed. Boris Nevzorov grew up as a simple boy and was practically no different from his peers: he played with the boys in the yard, swam in the Volga and often got into mischief. None of my relatives or relatives were in any way connected with the magical world of theater or had anything to do with art. Nevertheless, already at the age of seven, Boris Nevzorov first became acquainted with the profession of an actor. Together with his friends, he decided to act out scenes from “Puss in Boots” on the street. Passersby watched the performance and clapped frequently. This was his first experience as a street performer.

Interesting Facts

His first creative project as a photographer was the exhibition “Abode”, which is a portrait gallery of the brethren and parishioners of the Spaso-Yakovlevsky Dimitriev Monastery.

Personal life of Boris Nevzorov

The actor always tries not to advertise his relationships, leaving his personal life at home. Nevertheless, some facts did become known to the public. The biography and personal life of Boris Nevzorov is very complicated. His first wife was his girlfriend Marina, whom he met at the age of 19. It was youthful, hot, ardent and passionate love. However, as happens with the first love, it ended quite quickly. However, from his first marriage he has a son who currently lives in England.

The second wife of Boris Nevzorov was actress Anastasia Ivanova. They worked together on the set of the film “Can't Say Goodbye.” There, their romance had just begun, after which everything began to swirl and boil, and after a year and a half, the couple happily announced the birth of their daughter Polina. Much to the actor’s grief, his wife died. In such a difficult time, he drew strength for life further from his little daughter. Children for Boris Nevzorov have always been a great joy in his life.

Polina grew up wanting to follow in her father's footsteps, but he tried to dissuade her. He convinced his daughter that she needed to have solid ground under her feet, and not look for success in this difficult profession. Fortunately for her father, she still abandoned her decision.

Interview

About the acting profession

“The actor’s body is a very complex, very mean and very insidious machine. Because she doesn’t always open up, she doesn’t always start playing. You can get out with technology, but in addition to doing the right thing, you also need a little something that can open up in you only under some special circumstances. This special circumstance is the circle of people in which you exist. The kind look of these people at what you are doing, their help.”

“The life of an actor is an amazing life,” noted Boris Nevzorov in the television program “Life Line”. “I will definitely write a book someday, as soon as I finish filming the next series.” I even came up with a name - “The talent of loneliness. Or the confession of a dream interpreter." What is the acting profession - it is the realization of our fantasies, our dreams, our hopes. And I hope the times will come when that feeling of happiness that sometimes awakens in me will last forever.”

About the series

“For myself, I find it impossible to refuse to star in TV series and at the same time sit without work. Someone can afford it, that's their right. I think that from idleness you can quickly lose your acting skills, but here you, on the contrary, acquire something new, because until recently the series was an unfamiliar genre, especially for my generation. Today I see a lot of quality TV series. It's all about how you treat your work; you can get dirty even in a big movie. Dishonesty is something that has always irritated me, I don’t understand how, for example, you can come to the set at the wrong time or while drunk - you’re letting everyone down, because cinema is a collective effort and you probably understood this when you dreamed become an artist."

About free time

“I’m sleeping. But this is during the day, because I am a night owl by nature, at night I like to read and sit at the computer. I love cooking - it relieves stress. I know one secret: you should never leave the dish you are preparing, you must be close to it all the time and “caress” it with your energy, like a woman. If you get distracted for a moment, it won’t taste good.”

Celebrities about the actor

Yuri Stoyanov (TV program “Big Family”): “The sign and quality of a very great theater actor is the complete absence, in the most banal sense of the word, of “theatricality,” which is absolutely not inherent in him. You can imagine him as anyone. If I had met and did not know such an artist, I would have come up with dozens of real masculine professions for him, except for one, the most unmasculine one, it would seem - acting. And I think that Borya brings to this profession everything that we think is not typical for her. What does he bring? This “reality” of yours. There is no such word, but when applied to him, it seems very correct to me.”

Nikolai Burlyaev: “Boris is from that cohort of Russian artists who will represent Russia. For me personally, you (addressing Nevzorov) are the face of Russian cinema, the way it should be.”

Actor about himself

“My friends often say to me: “Are you still running? Look at your passport. It's time to be more respectable." But it seems to me that only now I have felt the taste of life, I began to understand something about myself and the world around me. And it’s so interesting to live, and there are so many things I want to try, so many plans and desires!

First love

He started acting and acting again. In particular, I went to filming in Sochi. The sunny city healed his wounds, and besides, it was there that he again met the same Alla Panova, with whom he was in love as a student at Sliver. The old feelings turned out to be alive and mutual. The couple decided to get married.

For four years this marriage seemed the happiest. Friends were jealous: wow! The story from his youth repeated itself, the actor found his first happy love and married her. But after this short period of time, everything changed.

New offers appear

Three years after the death of his second wife, the actor marries again. Alla Panova is the girl with whom Boris studied at the institute. She was his first love, but they broke up before he left for the Moscow Art Theater. Nevertheless, 23 years later they found each other again, and quite by accident. Their destinies were different in many ways, but moved in a similar direction. After all, when they met, he was a widower with a small daughter, and she was a widow with a son. They lived together for ten years, but their marriage could not stand the test, and they filed for divorce, which was accompanied by a very loud and lengthy division of property.

The actor’s current common-law wife has nothing to do with the world of art. More precisely, she is indirectly related to him. Nevzorov’s wife works in the accounting department of the Maly Theater, where the actor works. Despite the fact that she is 25 years younger than him, the woman does not lose hope of giving her husband a child.
