Biography
Daniil Belykh was born into the family of an actress and a doctor.
His mother, Honored Artist of Russia Natalya Kolyakanova, is known to audiences for her numerous roles on the theater stage and in films. From early childhood, Daniil traveled between the capital and his native Irkutsk. He also often visited his grandmother in Orenburg. “When I was on tour, I took my son to her in Orenburg. The grandmother adored her grandson. She worked, so she took him to kindergarten. And in the evening they went swimming in the Urals,” recalls the actor’s mother. Due to frequent moves, he changed 5 schools. Daniil's hobbies included football and tennis. After eighth grade, the guy started working part-time. “I have extensive entrepreneurial experience. Since the eighth grade, I have sold newspapers and washed cars. It is an incomparable pleasure to sit on the back desk, squeezing purple twenty-five-ruble notes and red ten-ruble notes in oiled palms. And a decent pack! In one day he could earn as much as a teacher in a month. But the interests were still childish: McDonald’s, tickets to the MuzOboz group,” says Daniil.
At the Moscow school of aesthetic education, where Daniil studied in recent years, he developed a passion for the acting profession. After the tenth grade, for the sake of a trial, he entered VGIK - he passed the qualifying rounds, but the commission, having learned that he did not yet have a certificate, invited the student to become a volunteer student. He was flattered and very interested, he began to attend classes, but soon abandoned everything.
After graduating from school, Belykh becomes a student at the Theater School named after. Shchukin.
Education
In the 10th grade, Daniil, for fun, decided to audition for VGIK. After he successfully passed the qualifying rounds, his deception was discovered by the admissions committee: the boy did not have a certificate and could not study at the university. Then the commission members, who saw enormous potential in Daniil, invited him to become a volunteer student in theater courses. The young actor really liked this offer, but after a while he gave up going to the theater.
After school, Daniil entered the Shchukin Theater School, where A. Grave became his teacher. Relations with the teaching staff and students did not work out almost immediately: those around him did not like the fact that the second-year student disappeared on the set instead of studying with everyone else. Daniil himself was not burdened by this situation: he believed that the practice of working in cinema would be much more useful to him than theoretical studies. In addition, at this time he also began to work part-time at the higher directing courses of the famous master of cinema, Alexei German. The latter played a big role in Belykh receiving a university diploma: in his last year, due to problems with attendance, they did not want to allow Daniil to take the exams, so German had to call the rector of the school, Vladimir Etush, and personally ask him to allow the careless student to take part in the final part of his studies. Daniil Belykh finally received his diploma, but only a year later.
In order to avoid joining the army, Daniil entered the Russian Army Theater, but due to a conflict with its director, he stayed there for only a couple of months.
