The actor inherited his father’s talent, but not his appearance.
Andrei Leonov is the only son of the great actor Yevgeny Leonov. The whole country fell in love with him after his role as an unlucky father with many children in the comedy series “Daddy’s Daughters.” Many viewers did not even realize that the leading actor was not just a namesake, but the son of that same Leonov.
You can find similarities between father and son, but only if you look very carefully and know about their relationship. The fact is that the younger Leonov turned out to be more similar not to his father, but to other relatives.
Few people know that Evgeny Leonov had a brother, Nikolai. The brothers were very close, but Nikolai chose a different path – all his life he worked as an ordinary engineer and practically did not communicate with the press. According to Nikolai himself, Evgeny always looked a lot like his mother, and he himself looks like his father.
Andrei Leonov inherited not only the features of his father, but also the appearance of his grandfather, so to many he seems more like his uncle, Nikolai Leonov.
