Mikhail Evgenievich Porechenkov, whose biography arouses the interest of fans, is a domestic artist who plays in the theater and stars in films and TV series. He also hosted television programs and was involved in directing and producing activities. The actor became famous through the film “The Ninth Company” and the TV series “Doctor Tyrsa” and “Deadly Force”. Viewers of the TNT channel know Mikhail very well, because he hosted the show “Battle of Psychics” for a long time.
Parameters and age, fate
During his career, Mikhail Porechenkov managed to win the hearts of many female fans, because he stars in the roles of real men, and he himself, handsome and attractive, literally exudes charm.
After the release of the series “Gangster Petersburg” on television, the artist immediately became in demand. Viewers began looking for information about him, trying to find out his parameters and age. At the moment, the artist is 49 years old, his height is 185 centimeters, and his weight is approximately 93 kilograms. His nationality is Russian, although some doubt it because his hair is dark, his date of birth is March 2, 1969, according to Wikipedia. “Domestic Stallone” is fond of physical education and visits the gym.
Mikhail's life path is quite interesting. The artist was born in 1969, his hometown is Leningrad. After graduating from school, he entered the Tallinn Military-Political School, but he never thought that he would become famous.
In his youth, Porechenkov was a boxer, he was even awarded the “title” - candidate master of sports. In his fifth year, the young man was expelled from the educational institution, and he went to Moscow, where he submitted documents to the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography, and then to the St. Petersburg Theater of Arts.
First love and tragedy
His first love happened during his studies at the Higher Military-Political School in Tallinn, back in 1989. The chosen one's name was Irina Lyubimtseva, and from this love Mikhail had a son, Vladimir.
The young people separated, and Porechenkov left for Leningrad. Irina died in 1993. Family members say it was an accident and she was found dead on the floor.
. First, the grandmother took custody of the child, then Irina’s sister. Together they raised Vladimir, but Mikhail did not appear until he was 19 years old.
There is a version that Porechenkov left Irina for another woman, and also that the artist’s mother interfered with the relationship. Both of these options are refuted by Lyubimtseva’s relatives. Irina’s mother says that her daughter was a proud person, she was offended by Mikhail for something, he also considered himself right.
There is an opinion that Mikhail did not know about the existence of his son, and only when he was 19 years old did he see him for the first time. Vladimir’s grandmother also denies this. He knew perfectly well that he had a son, and even took him from the hospital
. Moreover, after the breakup, he tried to meet with Irina, talk, improve relations, but due to a strange pattern, he could not find her at home on his rare visits to Tallinn.
Later, the actor began his own life, eventful and at first not entirely stable financially, so even with all his desire, he would not have become a reliable support for his son.
When Vladimir turned 19, father and son met
, talked and made contact. Porechenkov helps Vladimir. Porechenkov’s son is involved in boxing and judo, and at the end of May 2015 he made his famous father his grandfather. Vladimir gave birth to a daughter, Miloslava.
Film roles
The artist’s filmography began in 1994, his first film was “Wheel of Love.” At first he starred in episodes of TV series, action films and comedies, and a few years later he was entrusted with the main role in “Peculiarities of National Fishing.” It was thanks to this tape that he gained fame. Films with Porechenkov in the title role, the list of which can be continued for a very long time, are still popular today. The most famous paintings with his participation:
- "Connection";
- "Counterplay";
- "Big Love";
- "Poddubny";
- "Real Dad";
- "Marathon".
Probably all fans have seen the films listed. In them, Mikhail fully demonstrates his skill, which is mesmerizing.
Private life, childhood
The actor’s personal life has always been rich. Not everyone knows that before his first marriage, while still a young student, Porechenkov lived for some time with a girl in Tallinn. Being completely inexperienced, young people inadvertently allowed themselves to become pregnant. Thus, Mikhail became a parent at a very young age.
The artist is reluctant to talk about his personal life; he prefers to talk about his activities. In 2020, Mikhail spoke about the dishonesty of participants in the television program “Battle of Psychics,” which he hosted for several seasons. This created a huge stir as the show continues to air to this day.
It is necessary to say something about Mikhail’s childhood. The father of the future artist was a sailor and was most often absent, so the child did not have a role model and was left to his own devices. Until the age of five, the boy lived with his maternal grandparents. His leisure time was quite varied:
- fishing;
- playing with friend Nikolai in the yard;
- football lessons.
Mom was working in another city at that time. Later, Misha’s family moved to Warsaw. Of course, they took the child with them, but soon sent him to a boarding school, where he lived for over twelve years. Porechenkov prefers not to mention his childhood years, sharing only that he achieved everything on his own through the discipline that was instilled in him at the educational institution.
Mikhail Porechenkov now
Now the actor is busy in a variety of television and advertising projects, not forgetting about TV series.
Porechenkov remains firmly at the level of unbending popularity and enters the period of benefit performances and anniversaries. In honor of the twentieth anniversary of the release of the first episode of “National Security Agent” in 2019, work began on the sixth season: “National Security Agent. Return". // Photo: Roman Sukhodeev/ Starface.ru
The eldest heir of Mikhail Porechenkov, Vladimir Lyubimtsev, is starring in the same project with his famous parent. Father and son can be seen in the crime comedy “Polar, 17”. It is expected that its premiere will take place on the TNT channel.
Vladimir's wife Yulia and little daughter Miroslava live in Tallinn, so he constantly has to travel between Estonia and Russia. Porechenkov’s son admitted that he plans to move his loved ones closer to his parent.
“Of course, this does not mean that we will move into my father’s apartment; he has a large family without us. I’m going to buy us a separate home in the near future,” Lyubimtsev shared with reporters.
Mikhail Porechenkov adores his granddaughter and enjoys every minute spent with his child. The actor loves to play with Miroslava and regularly contacts the girl when she is with her mother in Estonia.
“She is a very musical girl, she loves to dance and sing. Her father simply adores her! He constantly contacts her on the Internet, and when she comes to stay, he doesn’t let her out of his arms and always reads fairy tales before going to bed,” said the star’s son.
In early May, the famous actor and his family attended the premiere of the film “Sobibor” by Konstantin Khabensky in Moscow. Mikhail and Vladimir did not hide from journalists and happily posed for photographers. Many found that the artist’s son is his copy.
Vladimir’s mother is Mikhail Porechenkov’s first common-law wife, Irina Lyubimtseva. She passed away in 1995 in Tallinn, when the artist’s son was only six years old. Vladimir was raised by his grandparents. Porechenkov saw the heir when he was nineteen. Since then, the actor regularly helps him.
In one of the interviews, Vladimir admitted that he always knew who his father was. The young man watched the series “National Security Agent” and empathized with the main character. The artist’s son was calm about the situation that had developed in his family. According to Vladimir, he sincerely rejoiced at his father’s success. His heir has developed a warm relationship with Porechenkov’s current wife. Mikhail's other children are delighted with their brother and look forward to his every visit.
It is known that Vladimir has been involved in boxing and judo from an early age. Not long ago, his famous dad also became interested in wrestling and dreams of defeating the heir. So far the actor has not succeeded. True, now father and son see each other more often not in the training room, but on the set. The series “Polar, 17” became their third collaboration, reports “7 Days”.
From time to time we learn that one of the artists has an illegitimate child. Some people hide them and don’t even want to communicate with them, while others recognize them and raise them with pleasure. How do the fates of such children turn out?
Actor's offspring
Mikhail is truly a parent with many children . He was officially married twice and has several children from both marriages. In addition, the artist has a son, conceived outside family life, who was born when Porechenkov was still very young.
Mikhail's offspring are three sons and two daughters, and they have a significant age difference. Currently, the artist has recognized all the children, provides them with money, and raises the little ones in the way he considers right, trying to make up for what he was unable to give to the older children.
Occasionally they have dinner together, and on such occasions, according to Mikhail, he feels truly accomplished.
Son Vladimir Lyubimtsev
Volodya was born in 1989, his mother is Irina Lyubimtseva, with whom the actor lived at that time. Initially they wanted to name the child Alexander, but then they changed their minds. The boy's life path largely intersects with the fate of his parent: he was raised by strangers - his aunt and uncle, because when he was six years old, his mother passed away.
For a long time, the actor did not suspect that Irina then gave birth to a son, and was not aware that his offspring was growing up without a dad. They met when Volodya was 19 years old. The young man came from Estonia and found his father himself, after which he explained everything to him in detail. In the capital, the young man applied to the theater institute, and in 2014 he started a family, and he currently has a daughter. If there is an ideal father and grandfather in the world, it is Porechenkov. The actor’s children and grandchildren live in contentment and prosperity, he does not ignore anyone.
Misha - hockey player and musician
Mikhail Porechenkov has a son who has a similar first and last name. He was born in 2002, his mother is the artist’s current wife Olga. While still in the maternity hospital, she decided to name the boy in honor of his father, and no matter how the actor resisted, she insisted on her own. Now there is another Misha in the family, or Michal Mikhalych, as Porechenkov calls the child.
The boy was fond of hockey for quite a long time and received the title of regional champion. Currently, he is more attracted to music; Misha is learning to play the guitar. The child is enrolled in an Orthodox school and loves his dog named Jesse, whom he considers a true friend.
Petya - calmness itself
The actor’s son Pyotr Porechenkov is his youngest offspring. He was born in 2010. Olga simply idolizes Petya, because he is the smallest, and Mikhail tries to be demanding so as not to spoil his son.
In 2020, the child was enrolled in an Orthodox gymnasium, which all three of the artist’s youngest children attend, and is gnawing on the granite of science, while simultaneously improving in faith. Petya is a very calm boy. He loves putting together puzzles, coloring, and is generally able to sit at his desk all day, doing interesting things. In addition, the actor’s son is very fond of sports training, which he attends with his father.
Varya - young celebrity
Varvara Porechenkova was born in 1998 in the artist’s first marriage. From an early age, the girl wanted to become an actress and organized her own theater near her home. Varya was always fascinated by adventure novels, and she dreamed of playing a role in a similar movie.
Neighborhood kids pulled stools out into the yard for spectators and showed humorous scenes from a television series called “Jumble” to everyone. These were real performances. Later, the girl played for the first time in a movie, after which fame came to her. We are talking about the film “D-Day,” which her father directed at that time. After eleventh grade, Varya applied to the theater institute; she plans to become a producer.
Masha is a role model
Masha was born in 2004 into the artist’s current family. Currently, she also attends the St. Basil the Great Orthodox Gymnasium.
Maria loves to do household chores, for example, she often cooks and happily helps Olga with cleaning. In general, Mikhail never tires of praising his youngest daughter, because she is truly an example of correct behavior, she is also an excellent student, and her diary always contains only A’s. The girl takes part in school plays, and in the evenings she prefers to sew or knit.
The second is strong and independent
The second wife of Mikhail Porechenkov was translator and entrepreneur Ekaterina Podvalnaya. They met at one of the business events
, where Porechenkov was the presenter, and Katya was the translator.
Ekaterina was born and raised in Leningrad, graduated from St. Petersburg State University, Faculty of Philology, Department of Structural, Applied and Mathematical Linguistics. Ambitious and purposeful, she defended her PhD thesis and was actively building her career.
She began her career at Ward Howell International, a headhunting company.
Interesting notes:
She dreamed of becoming a professional and confidently walked towards her goal. An affair with Porechenkov, marriage and the birth of her daughter Varvara in 1998 did not stop her in her aspirations. Meanwhile, Mikhail’s acting career was also gaining momentum, and the life together of the two strong leaders went wrong, and the couple separated.
Mikhail and Ekaterina parted intelligently, maintained a relationship, raised their daughter
. Varvara showed her father’s genes, she starred with him in the movie “D-Day”. Today, Porechenkov’s eldest daughter is studying at the production department of the Moscow Art Theater School. Ekaterina herself heads the VTB Corporate Training Service, is married and is raising her son Savely from her second marriage.
Ekaterina and Olga
Ekaterina Porechenkova is engaged in translations from French, German and English. Mikhail met her unexpectedly, but mutual feelings soon arose between them. She liked his strength of character and charm, and the following qualities fascinated him:
- attractiveness;
- sophistication;
- determination.
By the way, it was the latter that was the reason for their subsequent separation. Katya dreamed of becoming an entrepreneur, improving herself and getting a lot of money, but Mikhail wanted to live with a completely different woman - a real housewife who would maintain the comfort of home.
Porechenkov's current wife Olga met her future husband in 1999. At that time, she worked as a decorator on the set of films in which Mikhail took part. They became close in a short time, started going out to eat together during lunch breaks, and gradually it became more and more difficult for them to go home.
A year later, the actor invited Olga to start a family, they got married, after which their three children were born one after another. Currently, Olga is the keeper of the hearth; she is the one who maintains comfort and helps the children study.
Personal life of Mikhail Porechenkov
Porechenkov is married for the second time.
He has three sons, two daughters and a granddaughter. His first common-law wife, Irina Lyubimtseva, died in 1995, leaving Mikhail with a six-year-old son, Vladimir. The father did not appear in his son's life until his 19th birthday. It was Vladimir who gave the star of domestic TV series his granddaughter Miroslav. Fate brought the actor together with his third wife in 1999. Olga turned out to be an artist and acted in this role during the creation of the film “D-Day”. This marriage brought the actor three children - Peter, Maria and Mikhail.
Sensational confession
During his career, the actor played roles in more than seventy films. He played completely different characters: bandits, agents, barons and princes, as well as often wealthy entrepreneurs. Fans adore him not only for his roles, but also because Mikhail has a personal opinion, which he always voices without fear.
After the actor spoke about the deception that literally permeates the television project about people with psychic abilities, he was hit with a storm of emotions from the organizers of the program, but the audience, who until then continued to resort to the services of scammers, are very grateful to Mikhail.
So, Porechenkov is a wonderful artist and just a good person. Without a doubt, he will delight his fans with good films, because he is very much in demand thanks to his brilliant acting talent and many people know how many wonderful films have been made with his participation. All that remains is to follow the news and hope that another movie will be released on the big screens soon; Mikhail is currently involved in several filmings.
Porechenkov's house in the Moscow region
Mikhail’s family has real estate in the capital, but the actor spends more time with his children in a country house - a log house made in the Russian style near Alenushkin Pond. The mansion is located in the village of Tolstopaltsevo.
Porechenkov also acquired real estate in Spain, so every year the whole family likes to relax in a two-story villa on the Mediterranean coast.
