Professional wrestler and athlete Ivan Poddubny was popularly called the Russian hero, Champion of champions, Ivan the Terrible. But no matter what fantastic power was attributed to him, he was an ordinary person with his own habits and concerns. Today, on the 143rd anniversary of the birth of Iron Ivan, we’ll talk about his 7 weaknesses.
"Unlucky in Love"
The first love of the smart young man was the daughter of wealthy neighbors Alenka Vityak, who was not given in marriage to the poor man Ivan. So, in his early 20s, he set out to earn a comfortable living. At first he worked as a port loader in Sevastopol and Feodosia, and then he began performing as an athlete in the circus. A tall, beautifully built wrestler, laying his opponents on his shoulder blades, quickly acquired fans and admirers.
Poddubny decided to look for his passions in his own team. So he became interested in the tightrope walker Emilia, a Hungarian by birth, a cunning and cunning woman. The temperamental circus performer completely eclipsed the image of Ivan’s first love; he was even going to marry Emily, but... he was not the tightrope walker’s only suitor. He preferred a rich suitor.
The next object of the hero’s love was gymnast Masha Dozmarova. Their feelings were mutual, but the life of the fragile girl was cut short on the eve of the wedding. Poddubny could not come to his senses for a long time and even decided to give up the fight. There were too many things here that reminded him of his ex-fiancee.
In 1910, Poddubny married a woman of dazzling beauty, actress Antonina Kvitko-Fomenko. I decided to live the life of a rural landowner. He brought all his awards and medals to his native village, bought a large plot of land, built an estate and a mill, and kept bees. But a cozy family nest did not work out: the farm brought only losses, and the money quickly ran out. In 1919, his flighty wife abandoned him and ran away with a White Guard officer, taking with her almost all the medals of the titled wrestler.
Three years after Antonina’s betrayal, Poddubny finally found what he had been looking for for so long. He married the mother of the young wrestler Ivan Mashonin, Maria Semyonovna, with whom he lived until the end of his life, and treated her son with paternal tenderness.

"A man of great strength and stupidity." The true story of Ivan Poddubny
It’s as if he came out of the myths about Hercules or from the epics about Ilya Muromets. The story of his life causes skepticism among many - well, this cannot be, it is implausible.
He was born in the Russian Empire, shone in the arenas of Europe and America, survived the German occupation, and at the end of his life he was awarded the title of Honored Master of Sports of the USSR... How all this fit into the life of one person is incomprehensible to the mind.
But, having gone through difficult trials, having known great glory, having experienced love and betrayal, Ivan Poddubny remained the same as he was at the beginning - a hero with the innocence and naivety of a child.

He was born on September 26 (October 8, new style) 1871 in the village of Bogodukhovka in the Poltava region, into a Cossack family.
The Poddubny family was famous for its physical strength and power, and Vanya took after his ancestors. But if he got strength and endurance from his father, then from his mother he got a keen ear for music. This subsequently amazed his contemporaries - this musicality did not combine with the appearance of a strongman.
The strength of the Poddubny family did not make them rich, so from an early age Ivan was introduced to hard physical labor, and from the age of 12 he worked as a farm laborer.
At the age of twenty, Ivan went to seek his fortune in the city. According to legend, the reason for this was unhappy love - a rich neighbor flatly refused to marry his daughter to the “starved man”.
The strong man Poddubny easily got a job as a port loader, first in Sevastopol, and then in Feodosia, and did not think about any other career.
Thirst for fight
As often happens, chance changed everything. The circus of Ivan Beskaravainy came to Feodosia. An integral part of circus performances at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries were performances by strongmen and wrestling matches. So the Beskaravayny circus had its own wrestlers, with whom everyone was invited to compete.
Ivan, confident that he would not yield to the strongmen from the circus, tried his hand and... unconditionally lost.
Was Poddubny the strongest? →
It was then that he realized that wrestling is not just a competition between people who are strong from birth, but a whole science.
Ivan was overwhelmed by excitement and the desire to prove that he could become the best.
He began to systematically train, study wrestling techniques, and soon again entered the circus arena, where he won several victories over famous athletes at that time.
After this, he was hired as a professional wrestler by Enrico Truzzi's circus. Thus, at the age of 27, the brilliant career of Ivan Poddubny began.
Like most wrestlers at that time, he combined several roles. Poddubny demonstrated strength tricks, for example, this one: a telegraph pole was placed on his shoulders, on which ten people hung on both sides and, as a result, as a rule, the pole broke. The audience gasped in delight.
But the main spectacle, of course, was the fight. All of Russia soon started talking about Poddubny, since he had no equal in traditional Russian belt wrestling.
The judge is a scoundrel!
However, French wrestling, which was later called first classical and then Greco-Roman, was much more popular in the world. Poddubny switched to it, and in 1903 received an offer to represent Russia at the world championship in Paris.
The conditions of the tournament, in which 130 wrestlers took part, were very strict - the loser of at least one fight was eliminated. “Russian Bear” Poddubny stormed through 11 opponents until he met the idol of the French public, Raoul le Boucher.
The fight with the Frenchman almost turned Poddubny away from the fight forever. Fights at that time could last for several hours, until one of the opponents was laid to rest. The Frenchman, having failed to take Poddubny with the first onslaught, began to openly run from him. In addition, it turned out that he was coated with a fatty substance that prevented him from making grabs - this dishonest method, by the way, is still used by wrestlers. When Poddubny drew the attention of the judges to this, they only shrugged their shoulders. And after an hour of fighting, the victory was given to Le Boucher “for his beautiful and skillful avoidance of sharp techniques.”
This decision angered even the French public, and Poddubny, shocked by such dishonesty, wanted to end his wrestling career altogether.
Friends and colleagues had a hard time convincing the giant. But it must be said that, due to his character, Poddubny was extremely inconvenient for the organizers of wrestling matches - he basically did not conduct “fixed” fights and did not take bribes. Because of this, a couple of times his opponents even tried to organize the murder of Poddubny, but, fortunately, these plans fell through.
Why was Poddubny not an Olympic champion?
Le Boucher was rewarded at the international championship in St. Petersburg, where he again met with Poddubny. The revenge was cruel - the Russian wrestler twisted the Frenchman as he wanted. For twenty minutes he held his opponent, excuse me, in a knee-elbow position, while the audience whistled and hooted, until the judges took pity on Le Boucher. After this defeat, the French wrestler went into real hysterics.
Poddubny won the tournament, defeating another Frenchman, world champion Paul Pons, in the final in a two-hour fight.
Things were quite difficult with titles at that time. In professional wrestling, in one city or another, the tournament was declared a “world championship.” Poddubny won almost everywhere, but it is quite difficult to understand exactly how many times he was world champion.
But it is known that in the period from 1905 to 1908 he invariably won the most prestigious of tournaments - the World French Wrestling Championship in Paris.
At that time, the Olympics, which included wrestling, were already gaining popularity, but Poddubny’s way there was barred. The Olympics were then exclusively the domain of amateur athletes, and Poddubny was a professional.
“And with the personal... Well, just with the personal - hello...”
By 1910, the wrestler, who had won everything he could and earned a lot of money, was tired of the world of professional wrestling and decided to end his career. He left for his homeland, bought a house, land and began farming.
However, the businessman from Poddubny was useless, and besides, his wife’s demands quickly reduced his financial capital.
In general, the giant was catastrophically unlucky in love affairs. At the very beginning of his circus career, Poddubny fell in love with a 40-year-old Hungarian tightrope walker, an experienced and temperamental woman. Ivan was ready to marry her, but the Hungarian woman soon found herself a new boyfriend.
Then there was an affair with gymnast Masha Dozmarova. They were an amazing couple - a huge strongman and a fragile, almost ethereal girl. But on the eve of the wedding, a tragedy happened - Masha fell from under the circus big top and died.
Poddubny’s first wife was Antonina Kvitko-Fomenko, and it was she who squandered everything her husband earned, and at the height of the Civil War she completely ran away, taking with her some of her husband’s medals.
In 1922, Poddubny married the mother of the young wrestler Ivan Mashonin, Maria Semyonovna, and in this marriage he finally found personal peace.

American voyage of the “Russian bear”
On the eve of the First World War, Poddubny, whose finances sang romances thanks to Antonina, returned to the circus and again began to win victory after victory.
He also performed during the Civil War, although this time in his biography is perhaps the most mysterious page. Only one thing is known for sure - the simple-minded giant was too far from politics to join any of the parties, and at the same time he was equally warmly welcomed by whites, reds, and greens.
Already at the very end of the war in Odessa, Poddubny was almost shot by the Reds - the security officers confused him with the organizer of Jewish pogroms named Poddubnov, but, fortunately, they figured it out in time.
In 1922, Ivan Poddubny began performing at the Moscow Circus. Doctors examine the 51-year-old wrestler and shrug their shoulders - there are no complaints, his health is excellent.
In 1924, Ivan Poddubny received permission to go on a long tour of Germany and the USA.
Surprisingly, it’s a fact - the wrestler, who was well over 50, was in no way inferior to his rivals, who were old enough to be not only sons, but even grandsons.
In the USA, where the rules of wrestling were far from European and more like a street fight. Poddubny, however, quickly got used to it and continued to win, collecting full houses in Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
“The other day I had dinner with Poddubny - a man of enormous strength and the same stupidity,” - this description of the athlete was given not by anyone, but by the famous Russian writer Alexander Kuprin. The great wrestler was truly incredibly naive, which those around him took advantage of. When Poddubny, who was homesick, got ready to go home, the Americans actually deprived him of his earned fees - they say they remain somewhere in American bank accounts to this day.
How Poddubny worked as a bouncer for the Germans
Nevertheless, in the USSR Poddubny was greeted as a hero. Upon his return, the wrestler announced that he had completed his career and would henceforth be engaged in the popularization of wrestling.
He announced, and... did not complete it. He fought his last fight on the wrestling mat in 1941, at the age of 70. History does not know another similar example of athletic longevity in this sport.
In 1939, 68-year-old Ivan Poddubny participated in the parade of athletes on Red Square, and in the same year he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. Poddubny wore this award with pride, almost never taking it off, which a few years later almost cost him his life.
He settled in the small town of Yeysk on the shores of the Azov Sea. From many years of overload, his heart began to play tricks, but Poddubny did not turn to doctors, preferring traditional medicine. When the war began and the Germans occupied Yeisk, the wrestler refused to evacuate anywhere, saying that he had little time left to live and there was no point in running.
One day, a German patrol detained a middle-aged giant with a Soviet order on his chest on the street of Yeisk. The Nazis were taken aback by such impudence, but were even more taken aback when they found out who was in front of them.
Poddubny’s fame was so great that the occupiers did not touch either him or his award and, moreover, offered to move to Germany to train German athletes there.
If Poddubny had been more cunning, he probably would have thought before refusing, but the strongman immediately answered with a decisive “no.”
The Germans shrugged their shoulders and... left Poddubny alone. Moreover, in order for the strongman to earn a living, he was given a marker position in the billiard room.
Poddubny also worked as a bouncer in a bar for Hitler’s military.
This, of course, was complete surrealism: an elderly giant with a Soviet order on his chest with one hand throws the Fuhrer’s drunk soldiers out into the street. And the Aryans, who sobered up the next morning, run not to deal with the “Russian pig”, but to write a letter to their wife: “You know, dear, yesterday Ivan Poddubny himself threw me out onto the street!”

The giant was overcome by hunger
After the liberation of Yeisk, state security agencies conducted an investigation into Poddubny’s collaboration with the Germans and... did not find any crime, considering that the retired fighter had not betrayed his homeland in any way, and “commerce is just commerce.”
Moreover, in 1945, Ivan Maksimovich Poddubny was awarded the title of Honored Master of Sports of the USSR. This was Poddubny’s second title - in 1939, as a circus performer, he was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the RSFSR.
Alas, all these titles did not help Poddubny in the post-war years. No, he was not persecuted for political reasons, the problem was different - for a normal life, the giant needed significantly more products than an ordinary person, and with the card system it was almost impossible to solve this problem.
Poddubny turned to local authorities, they helped as much as they could, but this was clearly not enough. In recent years, Poddubny has been selling his medals to buy food.
Perhaps if he lived in Moscow, everything would have turned out differently, but in small Yeisk the wrestler was left to his own devices.
One day, returning from the market, he fell and suffered a fracture of the femoral neck. Since then, the famous hero walked only on crutches.
Ivan Maksimovich Poddubny died of a heart attack on August 8, 1949 and was buried in the city park, next to the graves of soldiers who died in the Great Patriotic War.
Later, a large granite stone was installed on his grave, on which it is written: “Here lies the Russian hero.”

Gullibility
“The other day I had dinner with Poddubny, a man of enormous strength and equal stupidity,” wrote Alexander Kuprin. For all his gigantic qualities, Ivan was childishly naive and trusting; it was easy to deceive him. During his American tour, he signed contracts without knowing their contents at all. As a result, the cunning Yankees came up with a way to save their money. To receive his half a million dollars, Poddubny had to take American citizenship. He had no intention of betraying Russia, so he returned to his homeland with nothing.
His naivety also manifested itself in public life. The beginning of the twentieth century was marked by political struggle. He was not a supporter of the Whites, the Reds, or the Greens, but they all greeted him equally enthusiastically. During the years of Stalin's repressions, he too suffered. In 1937, he was arrested and spent a year in the prison of the Rostov NKVD department. Stalin's henchmen did not stand on ceremony with the famous fighter, torturing him with an electric soldering iron, demanding to know the account numbers and addresses of foreign banks in which he could keep his savings. A year later, Ivan Poddubny was released.
Intractability
Ivan Poddubny, a Russian hero, was one of the few fighters who could afford not to participate in custom fights. Even when he agreed to lose, he left both the organizers and his opponent in the cold. Therefore, he made his reputation through fair fights. Those who wanted to profit from the name often resorted to setup. At one time, another wrestler performed under the name Poddubny.
Relationship with father
The only person whom Poddubny recognized as stronger than himself was his father. And in general, all the men in their family were distinguished by physical qualities. Ivan's grandfather lived to be 120 years old. Poddubny got his wrestling grip from his father, who, for fun, could stop a cart by the wheel. When Poddubny became a professional wrestler and began performing in the circus, this extremely upset his parent. He even told his son through his brother that he would “hit him with the shafts” for such shameful behavior. Before Ivan received worldwide recognition, he had to not only abandon the idea of returning to his native land, but also wander around the circuses.
The face of the channel “Russia-24”
Soon Maria became an employee of the Rossiya-24 information channel, which airs 24 hours a day. It was not easy for her to conduct early news broadcasts or work at night, but over time the presenter settled on the channel and did not want to change her place of work. Over the years of activity here, she was able to visit different parts of the world and communicate with the most influential personalities and political leaders. At the end of 2020, it was Gladkikh who went to Turkey, where at that time the murder of the Russian ambassador Andrei Karlov was committed. The TV presenter tried to find out how the investigation into this case was going and what local residents thought about this murder.
In 2020, she visited Baku to make a special report on the celebration of the birthday of the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev. Maria coped with this task brilliantly: she showed the audience the sights of the city, interviewed the star birthday boy and even sang with him in Azerbaijani. The journalist noted then that it was easy for her to communicate with local residents, since Azerbaijanis are very similar to Turks, and she has been familiar with Turkish culture for a long time thanks to her father and his relatives. The girl got to know one of the Baku families better by visiting their home for a tea party.

During the “Direct Line” with Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, she managed not only to see the president, but also to communicate with him personally. He made a very good impression on her and impressed her with his calmness and friendly attitude towards people.
Body
Until the last days of his life, Poddubny trained daily. The body had to be “kept” in excellent physical shape. In 1922, Ivan Maksimovich was invited to work at the Moscow Circus. He exchanged fifty, and the doctors were surprised how, after many hours of training or performances, the athlete did not even notice slight fatigue of the heart muscle. “Ivan the Iron” - they called him. Poddubny had a phenomenal organism that allowed him to instantly develop energy like an explosion. This same body played a cruel joke on the wrestler. A wrestler's nutritional needs were disproportionately greater than those of an ordinary person. During the hungry years of the Great Patriotic War, Poddubny suffered from malnutrition. He wrote to the Yeisk City Council: “According to the book, I receive 500 grams of bread, which I lack. I ask you to add another 200 grams so that I can exist. October 15, 1943." He asked Voroshilov for help, but never received an answer from Moscow.
During the years of occupation, the Germans gave him 5 kilograms of meat per month; the director of the Yeisk bakery never refused Poddubny a piece of bread. Even if they sent him an extra sugar ration for a month from Krasnodar, Ivan ate it in one day. To support himself, he bought medals one after another. Sometimes, from malnutrition, he fell into bed and lay for several days to gain strength.
It was noticeable that the eternal feeling of hunger, the inability to saturate one’s body, which was far from being the same as everyone else’s, left its mark on it. After the war, they saw a different Poddubny: with slumped shoulders, with an expression of sadness and resentment frozen on his face.
Ivan Poddubny: wife, personal life
The biography of Ivan Poddubny (October 8, 1871 - August 8, 1949) reflects the most difficult time in the development of Russia, and Ivan Poddubny’s personal life, his achievements in sports, have always been and will be an example for athletes and wrestlers. The family of the Russian Bogatyr: his parents, younger brother, wife and children (adopted son and godson) helped him on the thorny path of life. The dearest person who gave him family happiness was Ivan Poddubny’s wife, Maria Semyonovna Poddubnaya.

Ivan Poddubny's wife - Maria Semyonovna Poddubnaya
Maria Semyonovna was born in the village of Kagalnik, Azov district, Rostov region. She married Ivan Maksimovich at the beginning of 1927. They met by chance. Ivan Maksimovich then performed in the city of Rostov-on-Don. The athlete, whose idol was I.M. Poddubny, invited him to visit. There Ivan Maksimovich met his future wife.

Friendly and homely, Maria Semyonovna was the same age as Ivan Poddubny. However, her natural charm and warmth warmed this invincible Champion so much that Ivan Maksimovich invited Maria Semyonovna to become his wife. She did not agree immediately, and only on the condition that they get married in church. I. M. Poddubny, who was never known as a religious person, went with his beloved to the altar and lived with this woman until a very old age.
Biography of the famous Champion
Ivan Maksimovich Poddubny was born in the Poltava province. His father M.I. Poddubny was known as a strongman, and his mother A.D. Poddubnaya had an excellent ear for music, which Ivan inherited. Brothers of I. M. Poddubny - Mitrofan Maksimovich Poddubny and Emelyan Maksimovich Poddubny. Sister - Evdokia Maksimovna Poddubnaya.
At the invitation of the circus wrestlers, Ivan once went out onto the mat and defeated the strongmen. A little later, Poddubny decided to become a wrestler himself. His height is one hundred eighty-four centimeters, weight is one hundred eighteen kilograms. And this is with a chest volume of one hundred thirty-four centimeters. The strongman's biceps are forty-four centimeters in girth, and his neck is exactly fifty. He performed in fourteen countries, visited four continents, and for half a century did not lose a single championship.
About himself, he said that on the mat he had not met any wrestlers who would knock him down, but he considered himself stronger than his father. Somehow, as a joke, he admitted that only women could defeat him. His first youthful love forced the guy to leave his native village to earn money. Ivan’s second lover, Maria, performed in the circus. Their engagement had already been announced when the trapeze artist fell from her trapeze.
Ivan Poddubny with his brothers
So that nothing would remind him of the tragedy, Ivan Poddubny accepted the offer of the St. Petersburg sports community of athletes and went abroad to defend the honor of Russia on the wrestling mat. Ivan Poddubny was invited to different countries. After the Champion returned from abroad with two suitcases filled with gold medals, at the age of forty he finally decided to start a family: a wife and children.
At this time, Ivan Poddubny met Antonina Nikolaevna Kvitko-Fomenko, a woman of amazing beauty and artistry, whom he married for the first time. However, his fees in Russia were very modest, so Ivan Poddubny’s personal life began to crack. While on tour in Odessa, in 1919, Ivan Poddubny learned that his wife Antonina ran away with a young officer, stealing most of his gold medals.
Ivan Poddubny was invited to work at the Moscow Circus in 1922. He was already over fifty, but after the Russian Bogatyr’s performances in the arena, doctors did not notice any changes in Ivan Maksimovich’s heart function. Poddubny’s body allowed him to quickly concentrate energy and splash it out during a fight, like an explosion.
Ivan Poddubny - training
The Great Wrestler devoted his entire life to sports. He constantly trained himself and regularly conducted classes with young people. Being a professional, he did not spare his students, practicing all the techniques with them until they became automatic, since he knew that champions are not born, they become champions through hard training.

Financial shortsightedness
Poddubny's life consisted of financial ups and downs. At the zenith of his fame, when he received ten times more than other fighters, Poddubny could afford almost everything. If a wrestler knew how to manage money wisely, he could provide himself with a comfortable old age. But Poddubny had no ability for commerce: within three years, the farm in which Poddubny had invested his capital and on which he had high hopes went bankrupt.
The hard years had taken their toll: somewhere far away in the West his money remained, and in his homeland he simply existed, whiling away his last days, barely maintaining his body.
Childhood and youth
Maria was born on April 19, 1985 in the family of students of the Novosibirsk Theater School Vladimir Mashkov and Elena Shevchenko. Vladimir, even before the birth of his daughter, moved to Moscow, where he entered the Moscow Art Theater School. When the girl was two years old, her parents filed for divorce.

Elena soon moved to Moscow, entered GITIS and got married again. The girl’s stepfather was Igor Lebedev, a graduate of the GITIS directing department. In 1994 and 2002, Maria had younger brothers - Nikita and Seva.
Maria Mashkova - daughter of Vladimir Mashkov
From an early age, Maria often traveled: she either lived in Novosibirsk with her grandparents, or moved to her mother in Moscow behind the scenes of the theater and on the set, but her mother insisted that her daughter should not connect her life with acting.
Very young Masha Mashkova with her famous father
Although Maria did not often have the opportunity to communicate with her father, both she and her mother believe that he was always a good parent. To this day, in difficult situations, she turns to the phrase that Mashkov told her, a 12-year-old girl who suffered from unrequited love: “You are the best, Masha! And the rest, sitting in the toilet, smoke on a newspaper.”
Maria Mashkova with her mother
Her acting career began at a dizzying early age. Already at the age of 7, she, together with Natalya Gundareva and Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, appeared on the stage of the Theater. Mayakovsky's production of "Victoria".
Maria Mashkova's first film role (The Little Princess, 1997)
At the age of 11, Masha made her debut in the film “The Little Princess” (1997) as the mischievous girl Lavinia, having worked with such masters of the film industry as Alla Demidova and Igor Yasulovich. Then there was a small role of drug addict girl Katya in the comedy “Mama Don’t Cry” with Gosha Kutsenko and Evgeny Sidikhin.
Little Masha Mashkova in the film “Mama Don’t Cry”
After graduating from school, Masha studied a little at the Russian Economic University. Plekhanov, but quickly realized that it was not hers, and without hesitation she took the documents to the Theater Institute. Shchukin. She did not go to GITIS, since her mother graduated from it at one time, she rejected the Studio School for the same reason - Vladimir Mashkov graduated from it. It seemed to her that the teachers, constantly comparing her with her famous parents, would not appreciate her true abilities.
Political illiteracy
Ivan Poddubny was never interested in politics and avoided talking about it. “I don’t interfere in their politics, I don’t bother anyone, let no one bother me.” During the Civil War, the fighter did not take either side. It seemed that fate was protecting him: in 1919, drunken anarchists almost shot him in the Zhytomyr circus, in Kerch he barely escaped the bullet of a drunken white officer, and a year later he simply miraculously escaped from the basements of the Odessa Cheka. His fame spread throughout the world. During the years of occupation, even the Nazis did not touch it. Despite the fact that the Germans allowed him to open a billiard hall at a military hospital, Poddubny did not accept their offer to be a coach in Germany. Knowing the integrity and honesty of Ivan Maksimovich, after the liberation of Yeisk the NKVD did not consider him a traitor; moreover, they used the old man to inspire the soldiers.
Personal life of Angelina Dubrovskaya
Angelina is a purposeful person who skillfully combines family, work, personal life, filming and travel. When asked by journalists how you manage to do everything, she answered in one of her many interviews: “I live with a built-in phone in my hand.” She and Gregory are raising their son together. Her husband is already dreaming about how and what class he will take his child to, Angelina wants to share her rich life experience and knowledge with her son.

Angelina Dubrovskaya works hard to create new designer models for her clothing brand ISWAG, acts in films, closely monitors her figure, but does not adhere to a strict diet or regular exercise: “I have fitness attacks about once every six months, and I start walking go to the gym, pump up your abs, eat right. But it lasts me two to three months, then I rest.”
Angelina trusts her appearance only to professionals; she never goes without manicure and laser hair removal. She makes her own masks and often leaves the house without makeup, wearing only lip balm. Her hair is looked after by a stylist and colorist. Angelina and her husband Gregory often travel. They love to explore the world and have visited many countries.
