Personal life

The charming Odessa resident is still not married. Many girls tried to take the place of the actor’s official second half, but they failed. The personal life of Rostislav Khait consists of many novels. One of the latest is with dancer Olga Ryzhkova, who is engaged in aerial balancing act (pole dancing). The actor met the girl on the beach in Odessa. The press is even talking about Rostislav’s possible marriage with this blond beauty.

Rostislav Khait also loves to travel. Often the artist does this together with his childhood friend and colleague Leonid Barats and his common-law wife Olga. Rostislav does not have a page on Instagram, so the artist’s husband posts joint photos from their vacation on his own account.

An excerpt characterizing Khait, Rostislav Valerievich

“Thank God,” said the son, smiling. - God has nothing to do with it. Well, tell me,” he continued, returning to his favorite hobby, “how the Germans taught you to fight with Bonaparte according to your new science, called strategy. Prince Andrei smiled. “Let me come to my senses, father,” he said with a smile, showing that his father’s weaknesses did not prevent him from respecting and loving him. - After all, I haven’t settled in yet. “You’re lying, you’re lying,” the old man shouted, shaking his braid to see if it was braided tightly, and grabbing his son’s hand. - The house is ready for your wife. Princess Marya will take her and show her and talk a lot about her. This is their woman's business. I'm glad for her. Sit and tell me. I understand Mikhelson’s army, Tolstoy too... a one-time landing... What will the Southern Army do? Prussia, neutrality... I know that. Austria what? - he said, getting up from his chair and walking around the room with Tikhon running and handing pieces of clothing. - Sweden what? How will Pomerania be transferred? Prince Andrey, seeing the urgency of his father’s demand, at first reluctantly, but then more and more animated and involuntarily, in the middle of the story, out of habit, switching from Russian to French, began to outline the operational plan of the proposed campaign. He told how an army of ninety thousand had to threaten Prussia in order to bring it out of neutrality and draw it into the war, how part of these troops had to unite with the Swedish troops in Stralsund, how two hundred and twenty thousand Austrians, in conjunction with one hundred thousand Russians, had to act in Italy and on the Rhine, and how fifty thousand Russians and fifty thousand Englishmen would land in Naples, and how, as a result, an army of five hundred thousand had to attack the French from different sides. The old prince did not show the slightest interest in the story, as if he was not listening, and, continuing to get dressed as he walked, unexpectedly interrupted him three times. Once he stopped him and shouted: “White!” white! This meant that Tikhon did not give him the vest he wanted. Another time he stopped and asked: “Will she give birth soon?” - and, shaking his head reproachfully, said: - Not good! Keep going, keep going. The third time, when Prince Andrei finished the description, the old man sang in a false and senile voice: “Malbroug s'en va t en guerre. Dieu sait guand reviendra.” [Malbrouk is getting ready to go on a hike. God knows when he will return.] The son just smiled. “I’m not saying that this is a plan that I approve,” said the son, “I just told you what it is.” Napoleon had already drawn up his own plan no worse than this. “Well, you didn’t tell me anything new.” - And the old man thoughtfully said to himself in a patter: - Dieu sait quand reviendra. - Go to the dining room. At the appointed hour, powdered and shaved, the prince went out into the dining room, where his daughter-in-law, Princess Marya, m lle Burien and the prince’s architect, who, by a strange whim, was allowed to the table, was waiting for him, although by his position this insignificant person could not count on such an honor . The prince, who firmly adhered to the differences in status in life and rarely allowed even important provincial officials to the table, suddenly proved to the architect Mikhail Ivanovich, who was blowing his nose into a checkered handkerchief in the corner, that all people are equal, and more than once inspired his daughter that Mikhail Ivanovich was nothing worse than you and me. At the table, the prince most often turned to the dumb Mikhail Ivanovich. In the dining room, hugely high, like all the rooms in the house, the household and waiters standing behind each chair were waiting for the prince to leave; the butler, with a napkin on his hand, looked around the table setting, blinking at the footmen and constantly running his restless gaze from the wall clock to the door from which the prince was supposed to appear. Prince Andrei looked at a huge, new to him, golden frame with an image of the family tree of the Bolkonsky princes, hanging opposite an equally huge frame with a poorly made (apparently by the hand of a home painter) image of the sovereign prince in a crown, who was supposed to come from Rurik and be the ancestor Bolkonsky family. Prince Andrei looked at this family tree, shaking his head, and chuckled with the look with which one looks at a portrait that is ridiculously similar.

Rostislav Khait: A woman who loves more is always ridiculous

After the film “What Men Talk About,” they jumped into the ratings of sex symbols and people's favorites. After all, if you think sensibly, they are the first peacemakers in the war of the sexes. It was thanks to them that hundreds of thousands of women began to better understand their men, and indeed men in general.

It was not possible to get the entire quartet for an interview at once, and the author of these lines consoled herself with the duet of Rostislav Khait and Leonid Barats. We had to take turns talking. First I interrogated Slava, then Lesha. They did not hear each other's answers.

About the new film

— The population census showed that in Russia there is a gender catastrophe: men are dying out. Did you participate in the census?

R.H.: - No.

- Such a man - he didn’t even correspond!!!

R.Kh.: - I am a citizen of Ukraine. I do not have Russian citizenship.

— The sequel “What Else Men Talk About” will be released soon. What do they have left to talk about?

R.Kh.: - We have something else to say. And in the second film we have more women.

L.B.: — We can talk further about women. Then, our characters matured. They have new existential themes.

Changed? Analyze!

— By the way, the midlife crisis of your characters in the film is charming and reckless. Such a cute crisis. Everyone is so charming. What about life? You're about to turn 40, the most critical age, they say?

R.Kh.: — I only have outlines of this crisis or its absence at all. But, for example, based on Lesha or Kamil, you can’t say that this is a “crisis”, this is a direct crisis. They're just married.

— I once wrote an article about male psychology: remorse especially torments a man in adulthood. And the wife should be especially careful during this period. You can’t approach him with any claims or sympathy. What do you think a woman should do when her man is in crisis?

L.B.: — Ease and trust in relationships are the most important thing, regardless of whether you are in a crisis or not. It depends on the woman. If you previously lived simply and easily with a person, but never had a heart-to-heart talk, then you don’t need to try. If you did, then speak. A crisis in general is a natural state. It seems to me that they are not getting rid of the crisis. They get used to it. You stop feeling the same way as before. You want to be your old self, because it was good and fun then. You walked down the street and enjoyed the fact that you were doing well. Now everything is different. When you come to terms with it, it lets you go. It’s not that the crisis is passing, you just realize that you have become different.

— Your film suggests that cheating in marriage is inevitable.

L.B.: — Treason must be treated from the standpoint of conscience. Try to analyze. Probably, all films that touch on the topic of adultery often boil down to the fact that adultery is inevitable. However, internally we cannot perceive betrayal as the norm. Female infidelity is more acute, it is less logical. Male infidelity, in general, is inherent in some processes in the male body. Men, in order to be faithful, have to restrain themselves. But women don’t need to - it’s more logical for them to be faithful. We are different.

— Is there any way a woman can work hard so that a man doesn’t cheat on her?

L.B.: - Do you want to work on something special? Will not work. What happens, happens. And sometimes you fall in love so much that you don’t want anyone else around. And you don’t have to do anything... You have to be beautiful, just smart and trusting. It’s just that when you are burdened with your wife’s trust, it is much harder for you to betray this trust.

— And here is a quote from your interview, Slava: “I know that I can sincerely love a woman and have sex with another without having any feelings for her. But a woman can’t do that.” In fact, it can.

R.H.: - This is the illusion with which I enjoy living.

- Or maybe that’s why you’re not getting married? Are you afraid that they will cheat on you?

R.H.: - No. I know that I can forgive, one hundred percent. Cheating is not the worst thing in family life.

- What's scary?

R.H.: - Daily communication...

- ...If your wife turns out to be boring?

R.Kh.: — That’s not the point. She may not be boring. Just a commitment to see this person every day. Responsibility for being at home. I can’t really imagine how I can lie quietly and watch football when I have a woman at home and she’s doing something in the other room. I'm always thinking about how to entertain her. How to make her feel good.

-You have high demands on yourself.

R.Kh.: - But I can’t do it any other way. I will be uncomfortable. Even if she feels okay, I will still feel uncomfortable. What should I do if I want to be alone? Well, how are you going to tell this to your wife? “Listen, you and I had a great two days, and now you, please, go somewhere for three days.” You can’t say the same...

Ideal woman

— A great connoisseur of women, physicist Landau, had a classification: beautiful is someone who has a straight nose. Snub-nosed - pretty. And all the rest are interesting at best. Do you have a criterion for beauty?

R.Kh.: — It’s not that tough. In general, I like brunettes with light eyes.

- This is called a “biological freak” - there is such a scientific term.

R.H.: - Okay, I'm a pervert.

— Landau divided men into “fragrant” and “beautiful.” “Scentists” value the soul, and “beautifulists” value appearance.

R.Kh.: - And Zhvanetsky has the following division: “Of women, I like smart ones. The smart ones are the funny ones, and the funny ones are the beautiful ones.” And I love the beautiful ones right away. I am "beautiful".

- What if she’s stupid and sad?

R.Kh.: - Not scary. If she is a clinical fool, then it is difficult to communicate. Therefore, if she is beautiful and has at least some rudiments of intelligence, then it’s already normal. Moreover, if she is ugly, but smart - just be friends!

What are we talking about?

“A man likes to hear that he is a woman’s second choice at best.” It’s incredible when a woman is over thirty...

R.H.: -We have an observation about this: for a woman aged 17-21, you are usually second. A woman is 21 - 25 years old - somewhere in her fifth year. If she's between 25 and 30, you're about number eight. They understand that this is, in general, normal. Further - it doesn’t matter anymore.

— Then, probably, everything doesn’t matter anymore?

R.H.: - No, it’s important. It’s just clear that there was quite a lot. If a woman is under 30, that’s still interesting, you think: “What if I’m really second?!” For a woman over thirty, you are definitely not second.

— What task would you never entrust to a woman, even the closest one?

R.H.: - Play football instead of me.

L.B.: “I wouldn’t assign her to play football.” Moreover, I would not instruct her to watch football and retell what happened there. In general, I wouldn’t entrust anything related to football to her.

- A shortcoming that you will never forgive a woman...

L.B.: - Redneckness, rudeness, and there are external shortcomings that I will never forgive.

R.H.: - Masculinity.

- When he tries to command?

R.Kh.: - This is one of the manifestations. Another is the desire to be the center of the company. Not in the sense that she attracts attention from time to time - this is class. And when she obsessively tries to be in the center all the time. Actually, even men get tired of real jokers. It looks ridiculous. A woman who loves a man more than he loves her looks just as ridiculous. A man should love a woman more than she loves him. This is a masculine quality.

— When a man tells his mistress that his relationship with his wife ended a long time ago, can he be trusted?

R.H.: — As a rule, this is not true. But sometimes it’s true! Differently…

L.B.: - I don’t know this man!

— Modern psychologists advise: in order to keep a man, you must get up before him and prepare him breakfast.

L.B.: - This is contraindicated, in my opinion. You have to get up when you need to. Sometimes pampering him, doing something out of the ordinary. For example, breakfast.

— Lately, we’ve been hearing only about how we, women, can adapt to a man. We are all adjusting, adjusting. Do you adjust yourself?

L.B.: - Yes, of course. My wife has various cute features. Knowing them, you can avoid problems. For example, she hears the answer to her question only after asking it six times. The first five times she doesn't hear the answer. Therefore, you need to answer immediately for the sixth time.
