The series “Daddy's Daughters” attracted millions of viewers on television for six years. From 2007 to 2013, 20 seasons of the film project were released, 410 episodes were filmed.
“Daddy’s Daughters” is a Russian sitcom that tells about the difficult but funny everyday life of the Vasnetsov family, where five daughters are growing up. Their mother left the family, leaving the girls in the care of their father. Dad alone raises children and resolves household and financial issues. Then mom comes back and other problems arise.
TV viewers loved the series for its good humor and interesting storylines. The vibrant cast also contributed to the popularity of the comedy. After the end of the series “Daddy’s Daughters,” the fate of the actors turned out differently - some continued to act in films, others chose to pursue a career outside the film industry.
Andrey Leonov (Sergey Vasnetsov, girls' dad)
Andrei was one of the first to leave the series, starring in the first 7 seasons. Later, the producers managed to return the actor to the film twice: he participated in seasons 14 and 19-20.
In January 2013, the year the television project “Daddy’s Daughters” was closed, Andrei Leonov in real life became a father for the third time - in his second marriage to Anastasia Tarasova, his son Mikhail was born. The couple also have an eldest daughter, Anna, and the actor’s eldest son, Evgeniy, from his first marriage lives with his mother in Sweden.
After the series about the Vasnetsov family was closed, Leonov starred in serial films: “Lyudmila Gurchenko”, “The Far Side of the Moon-2”, “Margarita Nazarova”, “Sorge” and other projects. He gave his voice to the characters of several cartoons - “The Little Prince” (Ambitious), “Bob and Bobek” (from the author), “Orange Cow” (Khariton).
In September 2014, the actor tried himself as the host of the health program “About the Most Important Thing,” but left the television project 2 months later.
Papa Vasnetsov: Andrey Leonov
The son of Evgeny Leonov, actor Andrei Leonov risked remaining in the shadow of his star father if not for the series “Daddy’s Daughters.” The role of a single father with many children, which he was lucky enough to play, made him mega-popular. After finishing filming the show, Andrei Leonov continues to work in theater and cinema, and in 2020 he starred in a television series dedicated to the predator trainer Margarita Nazarova (he appeared in the image of his father while working on the comedy “Striped Flight”).
