Childhood and youth
Andrei has a younger brother, Alexei Chadov, also an equally popular actor, with whom Andrei often plays in joint films. Chadovs are often offered to play on-screen relatives. The brother actors are similar in appearance, they have almost identical facial features, similar facial expressions and even the same height (176 cm with a weight of 72-74 kg). Many people consider them twins, but this is not so: Andrei and Alexey are not even twins, they are the same age.
Andrey Chadov with his parents and younger brother
Andrey Chadov was born on May 22, 1980 in Solntsevo, on the outskirts of Moscow. Andrei's childhood was not cloudless. When he was 6 years old and his brother was 5, their father, who worked as a construction worker, died in an accident.
Difficult times have come for the family. My mother, an engineer by training, had to work in 2 shifts: it was the “dashing 90s”. The grandfather raised the boys.

The brothers became involved in acting in a unique way from an early age. Grocery stores offered more product to shoppers with small children during shortages. Enterprising visitors found a way out: they paid a small amount to the boys, and they played “sketches” in front of the sellers. After each “outing” I had to run home to change clothes.
The area where the Chadovs lived was considered disadvantaged. At school, the brothers often had to fight, but the desire for creativity, instilled by their father, won. In addition to the general education institution, Andrei attended a choreographic studio, where he learned to breakdance and hip-hop. Thanks to hard training, he was able to teach dance and earn a living from it before entering theater school.

Soon after school, Chadov entered the Shchukin Theater School. However, after studying there for only a year, he transferred to the Shchepkin Higher Theater School (workshop of Vladimir Seleznev), where his younger brother studied. The Chadovs graduated from the theater department together. They were real favorites at the institute. Despite the fact that the guys were local, they were mistaken for newcomers - talented and shy. The brothers made friends with many fellow students and left behind good memories.

Movies
Andrei Chadov’s acting biography began while still studying at the theater school. In his 2nd year at Sliver, Chadov made his film debut. It was an episodic supporting role in Ivan Solovov’s melodrama “Avalanche”.
Soon the young actor received an offer to star in the film “Russian” directed by Alexander Veledinsky. For his work in this film, Andrei Chadov received the Moscow Premiere festival prize in the category “Best Actor of a Competition Film,” and critics recognized him as a talented artist.

Andrei Chadov’s recognition was also helped by his work in the television series “Cadets”, where he played the role of young Pyotr Todorovsky. The film is dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the Great Victory and received a lot of laudatory reviews and audience sympathy.
In 2005, the film “Alive” was released, where Andrei Chadov appeared on the set with his brother. Andrey was nominated for Best Actor for the Nika Award. After working on such an interesting project, he was unemployed for 2 years. The actor wanted to play in a worthwhile film, but the scripts offered to him did not suit him. At this moment, the man turns his attention to foreign film companies.

In 2008, the British film Susie Hailwood “Bigger Ben” was released. Interestingly, Chadov was approved for the role based on a photograph. According to the creators of the film, when they saw the artist, they realized that this was a perfect fit for the character. Ben Barnes played together with Andrei Chadov in the film “Bigger than Ben”.
Returning to his homeland, the artist changed tactics. He stopped refusing the proposed scenarios, but decided to make them real masterpieces with his game. His filmography included the films “Limousine”, “Open Space” and “Quiet Outpost”. For his work in the latter, Andrei received an award from the FSB of Russia.

Chadov often works on the set with his brother. This happened in the large Russian-American international project “SLOVE: Straight to the Heart”. This is an action movie, a thriller and a melodrama at the same time. This film was immediately followed by the series “A Matter of Honor”, in which the Chadov brothers played together again. Work on the painting took a year. The series aired on Channel One in early 2014.
One of Andrei Chadov’s notable films is the series “Provocateur”, where he has a striking role as an undercover agent who constantly changes images and masks. The film was released on the Rossiya TV channel in 2015.

Soon after this, Andrei Chadov starred in the science fiction film “Mafia: Game of Survival,” which was released on January 1, 2016. The story revolves around the popular party game Mafia, which in a fantasy future has become a world-famous deadly TV show. Andrey played a young man with cancer who hopes to win the prize money to pay for his treatment.
The film was received negatively by critics. The press noted the weak plot, banal dialogue and uninteresting characters. The main advantage of the film was its visual effects and computer graphics.

In 2020, a number of films featuring Andrei Chadov were released. This is the crime drama "The Shroud", a Russian adaptation of the American series "Shameless", the melodrama "I will love you, is it possible?", where all the characters pronounce poetry instead of prosaic lines.
Nastya Zadorozhnaya and Andrei Chadov argued for 8 hours on the set
Filming of Nastya Zadorozhnaya’s video clip for the song “Conditioned Reflex” took place in Moscow. The main male role in it was played by actor Andrei Chadov. Video producer Alexey Golubev and video director Alexey Figurov set themselves the task of making a small emotional and dramatic movie. As conceived by the creative team, the video will consist of only one single frame lasting three and a half minutes, but promises not to leave any of the viewers indifferent.

The plot centers on the story of two lovers, the relationship between whom is falling apart at the seams due to the betrayal of a young man, and love, which, apart from pain, brings nothing more. A major quarrel breaks out between the characters of Zadorozhnaya and Chadov, emotions run high, and there is even a brawl on camera. “We have a serious conflict with the heroine Nastya, which turns into assault on her part,” shares Andrei Chadov. “There were no bruises left after the shooting, but I can say that she had an excellent shot, it seemed as if she had trained somewhere specially.” Once, a long time ago, I already had experience filming a video. But then even the technologies were different. And then everything coincided: Nastya is a friend with whom we have known for a very long time, the script is cool. So truly serious. Cine. The story we are playing is very real. Each of us probably went through this, lived and experienced betrayal and separation. True, it’s one thing to play this with strangers. Another is with a person you know so well. In general, we got it done quickly. We didn’t even go behind schedule.”

According to Nastya Zadorozhnaya, she experimented for a long time and was looking for new musical material. In recent years, Nastya had a break in musical activity, she focused mainly on her acting career, but the new song “Conditioned Reflex” touched the artist and she wanted to return to the music stage. The song, written by poetess Ksenia Bordo, seemed very honest to her, and Nastya decided to tell this story in a video. “The video is about how even strong feelings don’t always win, that love can burn and cause pain,” says Nastya. “My heroine has suffered so much from the betrayal of her once loved one that she no longer realizes what she is doing. She is in a state of passion - hysterical, fighting, emotions over the edge. I feel for her. “Andrey and I have been friends for many years, since our first film shoot. And I’m glad that he was my partner in the frame. We chose a difficult option for filming: we needed to shoot everything in one frame, without splicing or special effects. Only two people in the frame and a camera. All three minutes. The clip is not large-scale in terms of scenery, but I wanted us to make an honest video about feelings. This is a small emotional movie. Andryusha, of course, got it during our fight on the set, but this is an actor’s work, we have to be completely immersed in the process, so sometimes we can’t calculate the strength.”

We will find out how the story of the heroes Nastya Zadorozhnaya and Andrei Chadov ends in early November, when the video premiere takes place.
