TOP-9 Hollywood actresses with non-standard appearance (01/10/2018)
In 2007, the second of Nonna Grishaeva’s children was born - son Ilya. Having become part of Nonna Grishaeva’s personal life, Alexander shouldered the bulk of her responsibilities - now he is doing everything so that his wife has the opportunity to build a career.
According to Nonna Grishaeva’s husband, they have not felt the age difference for a long time.
“Nonna’s infantilism and my early maturation helped smooth out the age difference,” says Nesterov.
Considering the specifics of his wife’s profession, Alexander is not jealous of her colleagues and was able to forgive his wife after a wave of rumors arose around the actress’s name about her affair with her partner in the entertainment performance Dmitry Isaev.

In the story, they played a couple in love, and it so happened that the relationship between Nonna and Dmitry continued off the stage. Fortunately, the actress’s husband showed worldly wisdom and did not focus on this event, so Nonna Grishaeva’s personal life did not suffer, and the family was saved, although Alexander had to have a serious talk with his wife.
Now they do not return to this topic and do not even think about divorce.
About the childhood and youth of Nicholas Nguyen
Born in Belgium to a Vietnamese father and Mexican mother, Nicholas grew up in a large family: the boy had a twin brother and two sisters. It was her mother who was the first to notice her son’s suspicious behavior: from an early age he loved trying on her shoes, dresses, and “matched” her cosmetics. When the boy went to school (the family moved to Virginia, USA), the strangeness did not end. Parents were called to school: their son stood in a row with the girls during a physical education lesson, and his sports shorts were cut off in a girlish manner! At home, Nicholas played with dolls and carefully read on the Internet stories of those who, like him, felt out of place in their body and had already undergone gender reassignment surgery.

The young man at first thought that he was gay, but soon realized: he was a transgender, that is, mistakenly “placed” by nature in a male body instead of a female one. Nikita later stated in Forbes that she really wanted to reveal her essence: “There was a desire to do it back in school, but I was afraid of intimidation.” “Trapped” in a guy’s body, after graduating from high school, the girl received a full scholarship to study at New York University, but, to the surprise of her parents, she entered a public (free) college. But the problems continued: it became increasingly difficult for Nicholas to enter the men's room; being there next to men was embarrassing.

Popularity and creativity
Initially, becoming a blogger was not part of Anton’s plans. On his Instagram, he published various funny photos from his life. Back in his student years, he was friends with the famous YouTuber Yuri Khovansky. With him, the young man recorded the first video, which became the impetus for the further development of his own YouTube channel. However, the blogger’s first videos did not receive much success or popularity.
Later, Vlasov became friends with other famous bloggers such as Kuzma, Yulik and Den Shmalets. The young man began to appear frequently on their channels, which contributed to the rapid growth of the YouTuber’s Internet audience. Anton on his channel began publishing reviews of famous TV shows, which were always accompanied by harsh remarks, assessments of the behavior of the show participants and various speculations about them.
In 2020, the blogger starred in a music video by Ruslan SMN. The video was humorous, and Anton played a tough guy in it who arrived to meet the main character in order to exchange sunflower seeds for pumpkin seeds.
In the same year, the young man began publishing a selection of videos on his channel called “Confectioner Patrol.” In them, bloggers tasted sweets and then gave them a rating.

Anton actively expanded the topics of his videos. Together with Yulik, he recorded many reviews of various cartoons and TV series. A separate selection of video reviews from the guys included solutions to criminal mysteries, accompanied by funny comments.
The YouTuber also continued to appear in videos of other popular bloggers. This, in turn, helped him gain the loyalty of a large number of subscribers.
Social activities networks, gender change, the path to “your” life
Admission to a Los Angeles university, receiving a fake ID with the information “Nikita Dragun”, opening a blog on YouTube - this is how her journey into a full life began with the intention of gradually revealing herself to society. Although there were already many people in the United States who had undergone sex reassignment operations or declared coming out (recognition of gender incompatibility), the idea still seemed wild to ordinary people: a man who seriously considers himself a woman. On YouTube, the career of a blogger under the nickname Nikita Dragun developed very successfully: no one suspected that the spectacular young woman was still a guy.
In July 2016, a video appeared on the Nikita Dragun channel about how Nikita underwent plastic surgery. Only a year later, in May 2017, Nikita announced that she had officially changed her documents and that her gender was now female. Having received a diploma in “Marketing in the field of cosmetics”, the girl seriously took up her activities on Instagram and the YouTube channel. In addition to stories on the topic of makeup, Nikita released several clips where she covered in detail the process of gender reassignment - starting with hormonal therapy and ending with the reconstruction of gender organs. The fame that fell on the brave blogger online helped her meet other transgender people, give them self-confidence, and help them with advice.
Derov Anton Vyacheslavovich - biography. Russian Actor Singer
Anton Derov was born on May 13, 1968 in Moscow. His mother is an actress at the regional drama theater, who left the theater group in the 90s and entered the Institute of Theology. After that, she taught at Sunday schools in some churches in Moscow. The boy's father was a scientist physicist. When Anton was in school, his parents divorced. Since childhood, Anton grew up as a yard boy, spending all his days in the company of friends and doing little studying.
Little Anton’s parents often took him to the actors’ holiday homes. There he met the children of many celebrities: Stepa Mikhalkov, Galya Rovenskikh, Alika Smekhova, Misha Lipkin. In addition, the boy was often sent to the WTO pioneer camp “Russian Forest”. Anton also fell in love with acting classes in the children's studio of DK ZiL, from which Vasily Lanovoy, Valery Nosik and other celebrities once graduated.
After school, having repaid his debt to his homeland, Anton decides to enter the history department of Moscow State University, but he failed to score the required number of points in the entrance exams. In order not to lose a year, the young man went to work in the fire department of the theater on Malaya Bronnaya, after which he again went to storm the university, but this time it was a theater university.
At the entrance exams to the Shchukin School, Anton was again unlucky, and on the advice of the admissions committee, he submits documents to the Gnessin School for the experimental course of Alexander Kanevsky. This is how Anton Derov becomes a student at the musical theater department.
While still studying at a music institute, in 1992 Derov accepted an invitation from the creators of the first production in Russia of the rock opera “Jesus Christ Super Star,” which took place at the Mossovet Theater. The director of the play was Pavel Chomsky, artistic director of the theater. In the play, Derov brilliantly played the role of Judas Iscariot, which became his calling card. The tall artist with a thick baritone suited the role of the villain like no one else.
In his third year at Gnesinka, Anton, at the invitation of his Polish colleagues, began working on the role of Caruso in the musical “Metro” and left Russia for some time. He participated in the casting in Warsaw together with his friend Igor Sorin, with whom he became close friends during his studies. After graduating from the Academy of Music, Anton enters the service at the theater. Mossovet, but this did not stop him from participating in other projects.
In addition to the Russian version of “Metro,” Anton Derov could be seen on stage in the play “Topsy-Turvy” and in the musicals “Monte Cristo,” “Scarlet Sails,” and “Lukomorye.” Anton’s gorgeous baritone, combined with his acting talent, makes him a diploma winner at the Andrei Mironov Song Contest. In parallel with his work in the theater, Anton creates his own musical group “DEROV-BAND” and performs with it at the capital’s venues. He appears in commercials, the actor can be seen in several television films: “White Dance”, “Muscal” and “Komsomol Eighteenth”.
An interesting project was offered to the talented artist by the Pythagoras studio in 2006. At that time, the company was dubbing Disney cartoons created back in the 50s of the last century. Anton was interested in the opportunity to work as a voice actor in such cartoons as “Alice in Wonderland”, “Bambi”, “Cinderella”. And in “Aladdin” he also performed the song “Arabian Night” on behalf of the main character.

Nikita Dragun now
Almost 3 million subscribers on YouTube, almost 6 million followers on Instagram, about 170 million video views - this is the result of her activities on the Internet in the spring of 2020.
Nikita Dragun without makeup
Nikita is an official representative, she starred in the mystical web series “Escape in the Night.” The main achievement that the model and blogger shared with pride in mid-2019 was the creation of the Dragun Beauty cosmetic line and the opening of a chain of salons with that name. Miss Dragoon lives in Virginia, her latest hobby is resuming her singing lessons: Nikita studied vocals at school, and now she wants to “hone” her voice as a woman.
Anton Lissov now
In addition to musical creativity, Anton Lissov is passionate about acting. In 2020, he became a guest artist on the set of the film “Port.” A more significant achievement can be called the election of Litlte Big to participate in Eurovision 2020. According to the jury who selected the artists for the international competition, the group is especially famous in foreign countries, which will certainly force people to vote for it. The competition, however, was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic: the team promised to keep the bar and participate in Eurovision when the opportunity arises.
Lissov is interested in studying the history of his family and St. Petersburg
Personal life
“Not like everyone else,” this thought has haunted, as is already clear, the boy since childhood. In relation to the other sex, he also behaved unconventionally: he did not pay attention to girls, but he was not attracted to boys either. Despite the fact that Nikita Dragon is a person surrounded by increased attention on the Internet and the media, no indecent details on an intimate topic about Nicholas Nguyen have ever surfaced. There weren’t any: the young man was immersed in defining his true self and did not attach importance to personal relationships. At one time, Nicholas stated that he was a sexless creature and did not experience sexual attraction to either men or women.

After Nikita’s transgender transformation, her personal life immediately began to flourish: the young woman began to show genuine interest in men. The Internet shuddered (some with horror, others with joy for their idol) when the model introduced her young man to the fans. It turned out to be the famous fashion designer Oscar Utierre: the couple starred in videos, demonstrating in every possible way their tender feelings for each other. It’s just a PR stunt, or whether they really had a close relationship is not known for certain. Nikita and Oscar broke up, now the model and blogger has another young man. He periodically appears on Nikita’s Instagram, but his name is not made public.
“My ex-husband abandoned his daughter!”
The star of the Channel One show “Big Difference,” actress Nonna Grishaeva, gives the public the impression of a carefree beauty with a laugh. It would seem that everything is fine with the most popular actress in her personal life: her young husband is actor Alexander Nesterov, two wonderful children - daughter Nastya from her first marriage to actor Anton Derov and son Ilyusha. Over the past two years, after a sharp rise in her career, the actress often gives interviews. And until recently, in stories about Nonna’s family, only joy and gratitude were read. After all, the actress does not hide: before she met her beloved husband, she had to go through a number of serious trials. Poverty in her first, student marriage with actor Anton Derov, betrayal by her second common-law husband (the actress’s beloved man was taken away by her best friend, and Nonna suffered this blow of fate very seriously).
The actress has been oozing confidence lately. And it seemed that she had overcome all adversity.
However, the actress recently admitted to friends that she was going through a difficult family drama. Her ex-husband, artist of the Mossovet Theater Anton Derov (pictured), does not pay child support for their 13-year-old Nastya and avoids meeting with the child. The teenage girl now, more than ever, needs the attention of her father, but Nastya sees her dad no more than twice a year.
Let us remind you that Nonna Grishaeva broke up with her first husband after seven years of marriage. The actress admitted more than once in interviews with journalists that she filed for divorce because Derov had problems with alcohol. Anton himself also did not deny in an interview with KP that he drank heavily.
Now Nonna and Anton have new families, Derov recently had a son, Ivan, but for some reason the actor doesn’t want to devote time to his daughter Nastya, which offends Grishaeva. He actually abandoned his daughter.
“Anton meets with our daughter extremely rarely - once or twice a year,” the actress shared with KP. “Recently, though, I came and brought her a computer and talked to her.” That's all paternal participation.
- But does he pay child support regularly?
- What alimony?! We never talked about alimony!
In a telephone conversation with a KP correspondent, Derov did not deny that he practically never sees his daughter. Moreover, such a relationship with a child is not the first time for him.
- Anton, Nonna says that you are indifferent to your daughter...
“I don’t understand why people ask me this all the time!” — the actor fumed. — Nonna Grishaeva has not been my wife for many years. There’s no point in lying: I rarely see my daughter,” Derov confirmed the words of his ex-wife. “I must admit that it would probably be better to see each other much more often.” Perhaps someday this will happen. We live in different parts of Moscow, and sometimes we need to spend at least two hours to get to each other. Lots of reasons. Life's worries pile up. Nonna has a mother, and they have their own vision of raising a child. “Nastya won’t get a computer because a computer is harmful to a child!” Let your child read manga! (Japanese comics.) What are comics? Look at the titles of these books in bookstores! Yes, Nastya and I don’t see each other often. But I think that at this age this is a normal relationship. My eldest daughter from my first marriage will be 17 years old. She does not live in Moscow. And we get to see her much less often.
