Difficult childhood
Childhood years became very difficult for the actor. After the father left, the family lived in virtual poverty. Mikhail said in his interview that he could become a programmer. But they didn't have the money to buy a computer.
In addition, Mikhail had allergic asthma. He was exempt from physical education lessons. Until the age of 16, I grew up like a mama’s boy: I was sickly and fat. However, then he pulled himself together and started running, doing push-ups, and doing pull-ups. For some time I was engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
Choosing a life path
For the first time, Mikhail Aleksandrovich Tarabukin thought about choosing an acting profession already in high school. His interest in dramatic art arose through his participation in a school play. For some time the young man hesitated, but nevertheless decided to apply to several theater universities.
As a result, the aspiring actor Mikhail Tarabukin became a student at the Shchukin School. The young man took a course taught by the talented teacher Marina Panteleeva. He first appeared on the set while still in his second year. Mikhail made his debut in the social drama “Two Comrades”. The film tells about the life of representatives of the golden youth during the Khrushchev “thaw”.
Cook Fedya
Mikhail Tarabukin became famous after the release of the multi-part film project “Kitchen”. Our hero appeared before the audience in the guise of cook Fedya. He starred in all 6 seasons.
The series turned out to be so successful that it was subsequently decided to make two full-length films. Mikhail appeared before the audience as a chef, first in the film “Kitchen in Paris”, and then in the project “Kitchen. Last fight".
But this is not the end of Chef Fedya’s story. Mikhail appeared in such projects as “Hotel Eleon” and “Grand”. You can also see him in this image in the film “#SenyaFedya”. The project is about two friends who decided to create a cafe on wheels. The main roles were played by Mikhail Tarabukin and Sergei Lavygin.
All of the above projects helped Mikhail fully reveal his comedic talent.
Star Trek actor Mikhail Tarabukin
The talented Muscovite managed to appear on television screens for the first time in 2000 after the official release of the film “Two Comrades.” In his debut project, Mikhail played one of the central characters. The young actor’s filming partners were other rising stars of Russian television, Andrei Panin and Yulia Nazarenko.
After the premiere, the film received rather restrained reviews from critics and viewers. However, despite this, Mikhail Tarabukin subsequently became a fairly popular actor. For several years he acted almost non-stop. The year 2002 was especially productive in terms of career, during which five new films with the participation of the aspiring actor were released. As a rule, Mikhail played only small episodic roles. But truly worthwhile work also came across from time to time in his career. These include the films “War”, “The Fourth Wish”, as well as the dramatic film “I Love You”, which was later awarded a prize at the Berlin Film Festival.
In 2004, our today's hero had the opportunity to play a small role even in one American project. This was the overseas action movie “Border Blues” with Eric Roberts and Gary Busey as the main characters. Subsequently, this film remained the only work of Mikhail Tarabukin outside of European cinema. However, this fact is unlikely to have ever greatly upset the young guy.
Journey to the Moon
An equally successful project for Mikhail was the film “Team B”. The film is about a group of ordinary guys who were selected to fly to the moon. Mikhail appeared before the audience as co-pilot Yegor. Together with him, such actors as Nastasya Samburskaya, Vladimir Yaglych, Karina Andolenko and Mikhail Efremov worked on the creation of the project.
“The Shadow Behind”, “Sea Devils. Frontiers of the Motherland 2”, “Garage Dad”, “Yellow Eye of the Tiger” are the most recent works in Mikhail’s filmography. At the present stage, he is working on the creation of such projects as “Realization” and “Seize the Day”.
Personal life
Of course, fans are interested not only in the roles played by Mikhail Tarabukin. Personal life is a topic that the star categorically refuses to touch upon in conversations with journalists. It is not surprising that there are rumors attributing the actor to affairs with one or another famous lady. For example, at one time gossip about Mikhail’s relationship with singer Tatyana Antonik was popular. However, young people categorically deny a romantic connection between them.
It is also known that Mikhail Alexandrovich Tarabukin was never married. The actor’s wife is his job, and he is completely satisfied with the current situation. The Russian film star has no children yet.
Tarabukin talks about his hobbies much more readily. Working on the series “Kitchen” gave the actor a new hobby, which was cooking. He enjoys collecting and bringing to life exotic recipes, as well as preparing simple and delicious meals for friends. As in childhood, Mikhail is actively involved in sports and is attracted to team games.
Life off the set
How are things going in your personal life? Mikhail Tarabukin, despite the huge amount of gossip, keeps his personal life under the strictest confidence. After the release of the video clip “Me and You,” in which Mikhail performed the song in a duet with Tanya Antonik, fans started talking about the affair. But the actor refused to comment on the rumors. He prefers to talk to journalists only about his creative future.
Comedy films brought Mikhail fame. However, in real life the actor does not like to watch films of the humorous genre. In addition, he never watched such programs as KVN, Comedy Club, and Big Difference.
The actor cooks quite well. Of course, he is far from being the cook Fedya. However, Mikhail is capable of surprising guests with home-cooked dishes.
