Actor Denis Paramonov
As Paramonov recalls, the acting profession attracted him since childhood. After one matinee in kindergarten, he became serious about becoming an actor. The parents saw potential in their son and decided to develop it. They enrolled Denis in the Little Moon studio for gifted children, and then he studied at Irina Feofanova’s children’s theater.
In 2004, when the parents were already divorced, mother and son moved to Moscow. Here the boy began attending castings, directors noticed him - from the age of 11, Denis Paramonov was offered film roles. At first, all proposals were considered by my mother and stepfather, and Paramonov Jr. already gave the final answer. Parents never forced their son to do anything against his will.

Denis Paramonov in childhood
After the 9th grade, the young man entered the capital's Oleg Tabakov theater school. Denis dreamed of studying with the master of the theater stage throughout his childhood. While working on his role in the film “Teacher in Law,” the young performer learned about the college from the project director, Alexander Mokhov.
The young man prepared for admission for 1.5 years. The first 2 courses were not easy for Paramonov: he began to have problems with discipline, and a couple of times Denis was threatened with expulsion. The student managed to pull himself together and graduate from this educational institution with dignity. During his student years, he already worked closely with his teacher’s theater studio.
Star boy
Denis was born in the “capital” of the domestic automobile industry and was a cheerful boy from an early age. He didn’t mince words and easily got along with strangers of all ages. Noticing their son’s passion for singing and music, his parents enrolled him in the Little Moon studio. Having matured a little, Denis went to classes at the children's theater under the direction of Irina Feofanova.
He felt so confident on the theater stage that venerable directors noticed his talent . At first, Denis’s parents considered all proposals, and then he himself gave the final answer. Mom and dad never put pressure on their son or forced him to do anything against his will.
Denis Paramonov plunged into the world of big cinema in 2006 , taking part in the creation of the TV series “Law and Order”. Then he appeared in small episodes of the film projects “Solomon’s Decision” and “Love on a Knife’s Edge.”
At the age of thirteen, the young actor starred in the popular comedy “Love-Carrot-2”, in the company of such stars as Gosha Kutsenko and Kristina Orbakaite. Paramonov's hero Gleb Golubev had to get used to the way of thoughts and actions of an adult man. According to film critics, the young actor successfully completed the task.
While his classmates went to school every day, Denis was forced to study externally. In Paramonov’s work schedule, there wasn’t much free time on the set. The schoolboy transformed into the image:
- Aron Haskin in "Rainbow";
- cadet Edik in “Kremlin Cadets”;
- The son of a crime boss in the film project “Teacher in Law-2”;
- The boy Mili, immersed in military everyday life, in the film “I Will Remember.”
He has participated in the films “Tower. New People", "Forester", "Casting for a Villain". After graduating from school, Paramonov, with the blessing of his parents, set off to conquer Moscow. He entered Oleg Tabakov’s theater school and already in his student years began to participate in productions of “Snuffbox”.
Spectators and theater critics liked him for his interpretation of characters in the plays “Wolves and Sheep,” “The Eldest Son,” and “The Marriage of Belugin.” Denis received his acting diploma in 2015, but continues to dream of higher education.
Theater
Spectators of Oleg Tabakov's studio theater enjoy watching the performance of the young talented actor. Critics say that he excels at transformation and is interesting on stage.

Denis Paramonov in the theater
The artist’s first role on the famous stage was the image of Vasenka in Konstantin Bogomolov’s production of “The Elder Son”. The directors of the troupe appreciated the young man’s talent, after which the plays “The Marriage of Belugin”, where he played Anatoly, and “Wolves and Sheep”, in which Paramonov played the role of Pavlin Savelich, appeared in his repertoire. Since 2020, Denis has officially joined the theater's trainee group.
Career
In 2008, Denis received the role of the son of the characters Kristina Orbakaite and Gosha Kutsenko in the eccentric comedy about changing bodies “Carrot Love 2”. This difficult work, in which a child had to transform into an adult, was a great success for the young actor. Paramonov became famous throughout the country and attracted the attention of directors and film critics.
At the premiere of “Love-Carrot-2”, this was followed by roles in the series “Kremlin Cadets”, the military drama “Rainbow”, and the third part of “Love-Carrot”. The film “I Will Remember,” in which Denis played the boy Milya, received a prestigious award at the Fargo International Film Festival.
“I Will Remember” is a drama about the Second World War. His early filmography also includes a supporting role in the acclaimed disaster film “Metro” and the acclaimed TV series “Tower. New people".
Movies
Paramonov’s cinematic biography began in 2006. The actor’s film debut took place in the series “Law and Order: Crime Branch.” An 11-year-old boy appeared in the episode "Solomon's Solution". The following year he was invited to play the role of Pavlik Loginov in the detective film “Love on a Knife’s Edge.”

The year 2008 was triumphant for the teenager, when the comedy “Love-Carrot-2” was released, where he played the main role of Gleb Golubev. The boy was lucky to play next to professionals - Gosha Kutsenko and Kristina Orbakaite, who played husband and wife Golubev.
The hardest thing for him was to adopt adult habits and gestures, to forget about his age in the frame and plunge into adult life. Critics admitted that Denis succeeded. In order to truthfully convey family relationships, Orbakaite and Kutsenko spent a lot of time communicating with their younger colleagues, and not only on the set. Children's theater teacher and actress of the Satyricon Theater Angelina Varganova additionally worked with Denis and Alina.

In 2009, Paramonov played the Jewish boy Aron Haskin in Viktor Cheprasov’s military drama “Rainbow”. 2010 was marked by several works at once. Denis introduced Edik in the TV series “Kremlin Cadets”, then he played the role of the son of crime boss Ivan in “Teacher in Law - 2”. The director of the last film, Alexander Mokhov, immediately offered this role to Denis - he believed that the teenager would succeed in the image of a hooligan.
The actor’s mother was won over by Mokhov’s professionalism and charm, and she agreed to her son’s participation in the crime drama. “Teacher in Law - 2” gave Denis Paramonov himself a chance to try himself in a new role, because constantly being a good boy is boring. The guy didn’t mind when he had to cut his hair for the role.

In the same 2010, another iconic role appeared in his filmography - the boy Mili in Vitaly Vorobyov’s film “I Will Remember”. This war drama is not even remotely reminiscent of Hollywood war films - there are no superheroes in it, but there is honesty, pain and touching. In 2011, “I Will Remember” received a prize at the International Film Festival in America as the best feature film of the year.
Soon the artist’s repertoire was replenished with the main role in the mystical thriller “The Tower. New People”, as well as supporting characters in the films “Casting for a Villain”, “Forester”, “Metro”.
In 2020, Denis appeared in the cast of the Russian version of the series “Red Bracelets”. The plot of the teenage drama takes place in a hospital where there are no holidays, football, beach, or school. There, life flows in a different rhythm, which is difficult to get used to, because every day children with cancer have to fight for life.

The film was shown on Russian television 3 years after filming. The drama's cast included young performers Philip Ershov, Stasya Miloslavskaya, Gleb Kalyuzhny, as well as famous artists - Anna Mikhalkova, Daria Moroz, Evgeny Tsyganov.
In 2020, Denis Paramonov played in the short film “Double”. The film tells about the adventure of an unfaithful husband who is trying to convince his wife, who saw her husband with her mistress, that she saw a stranger, his complete double.
In 2020, the actor played the main role of the naive and romantic student Misha Solomonov in the youth comedy series “Philfak”. Misha, along with two friends, studies among girls at the philology department and is in the hopeless friend zone of a beautiful student. Paramonov’s appearance – from his light, dreamy eyes to his short height of 173 cm (with a weight of 68 kg) – was perfect for the image of a timid, intelligent philologist.

Despite getting into character, Paramonov found it difficult to work in comedy. At first, Denis felt unsure on camera. The tasks facing the actor seemed unnatural to him. Gradually he got used to the genre and began to enjoy the creative process.
The series shows the everyday life of philology students and talks about the rivalry between Misha and the athlete-boxer Bori (Alexey Litvinenko) from the Faculty of Physical Education for the heart of student Lena, Solomonov’s classmate. The role of Lena was played by Alexandra Bortich. The acting ensemble was supplemented by Alexey Zolotovitsky, Vasily Pospelov, Efim Shifrin, Elena Koreneva. The series received a provocative advertising campaign: posters and banners show a close-up of blonde Bortich holding an open book in such a way that an optical illusion is created and it seems that the girl is standing in lingerie or a dress with a deep neckline.
Denis Paramonov: for a whole year I was embarrassed to offer sex to a girl
The performer of the role of Misha in “Philfak” has only unhappy novels behind him
In the TNT comedy series “Philology” - a story about three friends who find themselves in the maiden kingdom
at the Faculty of Philology - one of the main roles was played by 21-year-old Denis PARAMONOV. Film lovers remember him as a boy, since he portrayed the son of the heroes Gosha KUTSENKO and Kristina ORBAKAITE in the second and third parts of the family film “Love-Carrots”.
“I got into “Love-Carrot” at the age of 13,” Denis began the story. — There was a casting, and I was chosen. They specifically planned that Alina Bulynko
, who played my sister, were similar.
Kristina Orbakaite
and
Gosha Kutsenko
helped us a lot and, in addition to filming, they took Alina and me somewhere to make it easier to communicate and portray a family on camera.
Christina and Gosha are very simple, you can’t say they are superstars. With great warmth I also remember the teacher of small actors who worked with us on the set - actress of the Satyricon Theater Angelina Varganova
. At the beginning of 2013 she passed away, may she rest in heaven! Pneumonia killed her. Having fallen ill before the New Year, she did not cancel the performances, and when she turned to the doctors, they could not do anything. An actor is like a soldier. It happens.

Did you realize early on that you would be an artist?
— I was born in Tolyatti, and since childhood I dreamed of being on stage. I performed at matinees and asked my parents to send me to a drama school. In 2004, we moved to Moscow, and here I continued my studies. Now I work at the Tabakerka Theater.

Before that, you graduated from Oleg Tabakov College.
But this is secondary education. Are you going to get a higher education? - May be a little later. It seems to me that I don’t work at Tabakerka either, but I’m still studying. At the age of 15, when I was filming with Alexander Mokhov
, a student of Oleg Pavlovich, he told me about the college. I was happy: I really wanted to leave school as quickly as possible and start learning a profession.

You have already played love on the screen and stage.
Do you have a girlfriend in your life? - Now I'm free. So far I only have unhappy love stories behind me. For the sake of my princesses, I did crazy things - I brought withered flowers from the flowerbed, and once I dragged a chair from the veranda of a neighboring cafe, because one of my friends had nothing to sit on at home. But all these relationships ended in failure. I suddenly realized for myself that the classic was right when he noted that “the less we love a woman, the more she likes us.”
- From this point on, please, be more detailed.
- Well, one day I fell in love. For a whole year I looked after the girl, worried, suffered, suffered, without receiving any return. And then he said: “Fuck it all!” I called her and announced that we would no longer communicate. A week later she came to me herself and soon everything happened for us. The older guys then smiled: “This is a whole system, dude! Didn’t you know that all the girls fall for it?” And I really didn’t know anything. I was embarrassed to offer her sex for a year. Not only did I not look forward to our first time, but I was even afraid of my desire to be with her. It seemed to me that sex and her were incompatible. Now, after a while, I began to think differently. After all, intimate relationships are needed for health, and not just for love. But if love and bed coincide, that’s great. I have a fairly free life. I've been renting an apartment with four friends since I was 16, when I started college, and I've been living on my own.

Do you cook and do your laundry yourself?
- What's wrong with that? We grill steaks or order food to take home. I also have one that I came up with myself. Terribly delicious, but I keep the recipe a secret.
— Do you like to travel?
- Yes. I’ve only been to very few places so far. Maybe I went on a tour of Italy with friends by car. I don’t drive myself, I’m afraid: I think about an accident all the time, because cars are the most dangerous form of transport. I dream of going to Cuba or India.
—
Soon the series “Red Bracelets” with your participation will start on Channel One.
What kind of project is this? — This is a film about a youth group in a hospital. Some of the guys have simple fractures, while others have oncology. This is a story about people, their quarrels and grievances, growing up, becoming teenagers. A lot of the scenes were just explained to us and we spoke in our own words. And the screenwriter, who was on the set, only slightly adjusted everything. Such improvisations are very valuable. Filming ended two years ago, I’m looking forward to the premiere.
Personal life
Denis Paramonov is not married, the identity of his girlfriend is also a big question. At one time there were rumors that the guy was dating Alina Bulynko, who played his sister in the comedy “Love-Carrot-2”. But the partners on the set did not comment on this information. The artist himself once said that he always suffered failures in his personal life: the girls did not reciprocate his feelings, even in response to his sometimes crazy actions and original gifts.

Denis Paramonov
Since the age of 16, Paramonov has led an independent life. The guy lives separately from his parents, he rents an apartment with friends.
An account is maintained on Instagram under the name Denis Paramonov. The page contains both everyday photos of the performer - on a walk, with friends, selfies and funny shots with the actor, as well as photographs of the work process, shots from filming and from the theater stage.
Excerpt characterizing Paramonov
Stella smiled at him brightly and affectionately, as if wanting to show that she understood everything perfectly, and that she forgave him everything, and that it was not his fault at all. Arno just nodded sadly and, pointing to the quietly waiting children, asked: “Can I take them up with me, what do you think?” “Unfortunately, no,” Stella answered sadly. “They can’t go there, they stay here.” “Then we’ll stay too...” a gentle voice sounded. - We will stay with them. We turned around in surprise - it was Michelle. “That’s all decided,” I thought contentedly. And again, someone voluntarily sacrificed something, and again simple human kindness won... I looked at Stella - the little girl was smiling. Everything was fine again. - Well, will you walk with me a little more? – Stella asked hopefully. I should have gone home a long time ago, but I knew that I would never leave her now and nodded my head affirmatively... To be honest, I wasn’t in too much of a mood to go for a walk, since after everything that had happened, I was, let’s say, very and very “satisfactory... But I also couldn’t leave Stella alone, so in order for both of us to feel good at least “in the middle,” we decided not to go far, but just to relax our almost boiling brains a little, and give our pain-wracked brains a rest hearts, enjoying the peace and quiet of the mental floor...
Denis Paramonov now
