Family tragedy
Roman Mayakin was born and raised in Noginsk in a family that has nothing to do with art: his father was a plant director, and his mother worked as a gas station operator. His childhood and youth fell on the 1990s, and at that time, in a provincial town, almost all of his peers were influenced by gangster romance. Several friends from his company did not live to be 30 years old. His own fate, too, could have turned out completely differently, if he had not fallen in love with a classmate who studied in a theater studio. Before that, he himself had not shown any interest in the theater, but he went to the same studio in order to attract the attention of his chosen one - and suddenly discovered that he liked spending time in this team more than with a courtyard company.
After graduating from school, Mayakin went to Moscow and from the first attempt passed the entrance tests at once to 5 theatrical universities, among which he chose the Moscow Art Theater School. The father did not approve of his choice - he said that this was not a male profession at all, which, moreover, did not bring a stable income. The fact that there was some truth in these words, Roman began to think already at 16. For 6 years he lost his entire family. First, his sister crashed in a car accident, then the house burned down, a few years later his father was gone, and his mother was diagnosed with a serious illness. According to doctors' forecasts, she had, at best, about a year of life.
Roman then took up any job: he was taxiing in his father's car, on New Year's Eve he "froze" in apartments and corporate parties. His mother lived for 2, 5 more years, and then he became an orphan. This misfortune made him grow up early and taught him to take responsibility not only for himself, but also for those close to him. Later Mayakin said: "".
Victory over yourself
While still a student, Roman Mayakin made his film debut, starting with cameo roles in detective series. After receiving his diploma, he became an actor at the Theater. Mossovet, where he spoke for 8 years. Then, at the age of 21, he began a new, bright and happy period in his life: he met a woman who helped him overcome the crisis and became his closest friend and wife. She had three children, a fourth child was born in a marriage with Mayakin. The couple lived together for 11 years, and Elena inspired him not only for spiritual, but also for physical transformations.
At the beginning of his acting career, Roman Mayakin weighed 130 kg, and in 2 years he managed to get rid of 50 kg. He told: "".
Last Hero
In 2019, a new season of the legendary TV show "The Last Hero" was released, one of the brightest participants of which was Roman Mayakin. Both his colleagues and the audience were amazed that the actor showed himself to be a real fighter, wise and mature beyond his years. He did not reach the final, but for many fans of the project he became the real last hero to overcome his own fears and weaknesses. He was glad that on a desert island he was able to be alone with himself and to realize that in fact he did not have many problems.
This project has changed a lot in it. The actor admitted: "".
Psychoanalysis as part of life
The series “Sweet Life” brought wide popularity to the actor; He played vivid roles in the TV series Psychologists, Trigger, 257 Reasons to Live, Method-2, Spasskaya, Clinic of Happiness. Today he is called one of the most successful and sought-after modern actors.
The actor admitted that shooting in the TV series "Trigger" coincided with the period of his own passion for psychology and spiritual searches: "". At that time, the actor met with the founder of a lifestyle platform about self-development, Sofia Kofmann, and she greatly influenced his worldview.
At 35, he no longer doubts that he has chosen the right path, because in just 15 years he has already played about 70 film roles, many of which he can be proud of. And most importantly, he continues to grow and gain victories over himself.
It was not the winners who often gained popularity in this project: How do the participants of the show "The Last Hero" live after fame?.
