Childhood and youth
The future artist was born in winter, January 11, 1983, in the capital of Russia. Little Kostya did not think about a career as an actor, and after school he entered the aviation institute, choosing the profession of an aviation engineer. Although Samoukov successfully graduated from the educational institution, he did not want to work in his specialty. After graduation, I changed several jobs.
Actor Konstantin Samoukov
As a result, life brought Konstantin into the acting field. The man liked the activity, and he decided to retrain as a professional artist. Then the young man entered the Institute of Cinematography in the workshop of Vsevolod Shilovsky. Shilovsky has the title of People's Artist of Russia. In 2009, Kostya left the institute with a diploma in his hands.
Years of study
Not every child's childhood dreams turn into reality, and sometimes over the years they simply change to something else. Konstantin was born into a simple family, where his parents were in no way connected with creativity. Samoukov dreamed that he would fly airplanes and after studying in high school, he decided to enter the aviation institute and successfully passed the exams. His plans included designing and assembling aircraft. Only after training did Konstantin Samoukov begin to realize that he had made a big mistake and chosen the wrong direction. He never worked a single day in his specialty.
Theater
Konstantin's creative path began on the theatrical stage. While still studying at the institute, he collaborated with the State Film Actor Theater and the Vladimir Nazarov Musical Theater.

Window of Life: Konstantin Samoukov agreed to the role when the script had not yet been completed
Actor of the series Window of Life Konstantin Samoukov told why he was interested in this picture, whether he immediately agreed to the role and much more.
What is this story about?
— It’s difficult for me to say what it’s about in general. I know what the story of the main character Vera is and, it seems to me, mine. For me, this is a story about how, due to a lack of sincerity to a certain extent, the characters become confused in their desires to be together, closing themselves off with work and everyday issues. Andrei ( Konstantin's ) accuses Vera ( Ekaterina Reshetnikova ) of working a lot, and not noticing how he himself is always absent from home. This is a melodramatic, in a good sense of the word, kind story about how people solve such everyday, in some ways even banal, relationship issues.
Personal life
At parties, Konstantin Samoukov is often seen surrounded by women, but at the moment the charismatic actor’s heart is free. However, the man carefully hides the details of his personal life, so it is difficult to say what is happening in the romantic field of the actor.

The Boss's fiancee from Konstantin Samoukov's Tele2 advertisement caught him with his mistress
Konstantin Samoukov as Boss
37-year-old Konstantin Samoukov’s acting portfolio includes roles in such projects as “Yolki”, “Nothing Happens Twice”, “The Life and Adventures of Mishka Yaponchik” and many others. However, viewers especially loved his image from an advertisement for a famous cellular company: in the video, the actor plays an imposing, handsome, gray-haired man.
By the way, the heart of a handsome bachelor is not free: for four years it has belonged to actress Valeria Penkina. It seemed that their relationship was about to move to a new level - the man began to call his chosen one his wife, and she waited with trepidation for the cherished proposal. However, recently the happiness of the lovers was under threat. The artist noticed that her beloved began to behave extremely suspiciously. “I went out to talk on the phone, constantly corresponded with someone and even turned over the screen of my mobile phone when messages arrived,” Valeria complained on the air of the “Actually” show.
Valeria is sure that her groom is cheating on her
To check her fears, the girl followed the actor and found out that he had gone to a country cottage, lying about the next filming in the series. Penkina hurried after her chosen one and saw an unpleasant scene - Konstantin was having dinner in the company of a red-haired stranger. Samoukov himself assures that the “mistress” is just a realtor who helped him arrange a New Year’s surprise. “I wanted to rent a house for us. I turned to a friend, and he connected me with realtor Ekaterina Tseeva. We scheduled a meeting at the site. On the way, we stopped at a store where I bought food,” explained the actor.
Tseeva confirmed the client’s words and also stated that Penkina is now interfering in her personal life. “My husband is extremely dissatisfied with the current situation. At the moment, Valeria is destroying my family. Why are you writing and calling my husband with accusations?” she was indignant.
Ekaterina denies the accusations
However, psychologist Mikhail Kasatkin brought the false realtor to light. The expert checked Catherine’s social networks and found that she lied about her profession. “She has an Instagram account. There is nothing said about real estate, and there is not a single photo with her husband. She is a specialist in women’s practices and esotericism,” said Kasatkin.
Tseeva’s husband agreed that there had been a spark between the actor and his wife for a long time. In addition, according to the man, the beloved boasted about expensive gifts that she allegedly bought for herself. Polygraph examiner Roman Ustyuzhanin helped find out the truth. “Konstantin, did you have intimacy with Catherine? The answer “no” is a lie,” the specialist concluded.
