Andrey Smolyakov
Andrey Smolyakov is now one of the most sought-after artists. However, very little is known about his personal life.
Actor Andrei Smolyakov rarely gives interviews. He is a closed person, silent and leaving in English. Nevertheless, he made an exception for the channel “Way” in connection with the fifth anniversary of the death of his teacher Oleg Tabakov. Recall that Smolyakov moved to Tabakov at GITIS from Pike, and became the star of his theater. True, when his student Vladimir Mashkov took the place of the master, Smolyakov left him. Relations with the new artistic director did not work out for him.
By this time, Smolyakov had become so independent that he could do whatever he saw fit.
– I came out of the “rabbit” state late and began to build a harmonious life around myself. It was necessary to do more with your inner world, relax, travel, and all theater and theater. If I had been asked earlier: “What is more expensive – a family or a theater?”, Without hesitation, I would say: “Theater”. It was more interesting for me there. Now my answer would be different,” Andrey Smolyakov said.
Today, the actor considers himself a mastodon and more and more often refuses proposals than agrees. According to the artist, he manages his time the way he wants.
In 2005, he left his wife, ex-ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater Svetlana Ivanova, and began to live with designer Daria Razumikhina. The only son Dmitry is engaged in producing films and performances. Andrei dissuaded his son from the profession of an actor.
“Being an unclaimed artist is very, very painful,” Smolyakov commented on his decision.
Outside of work, the actor travels a lot with his wife Daria Razumikhina. The special love of this talented couple is Latin America and Africa.
