Today Nikita Panfilov is called one of the most attractive, successful and sought-after modern actors. On the screens, he most often appears in the images of self-confident ladies' men and brutal "supermen", before which no woman can resist. The actor has repeatedly said that in real life he has nothing in common with these characters. He had long dreamed of a strong family, but before he found a woman who embodied his ideal of a wife and mother, he had to go through a difficult period of disappointment, betrayal and betrayal.

From athletes to actors

Nikita Panfilov was born into a creative family: his father directed the Moscow Theater of Hunting Comedians, and his mother was the director of the Monoton Theater. Of course, the boy grew up behind the scenes and at the age of 5 he played his first role on stage - Ivan Tsarevich. True, he himself did not dream of an acting profession in childhood. Nikita was actively involved in sports, even in elementary school, his father sent him to the martial arts section, and Greco-Roman wrestling became his main hobby. He became a master of sports and even entered the Olympic reserve of the country's youth team. However, Panfilov never became a professional athlete - he was tired of constant training and frequent injuries.

After school, Nikita first wanted to go to the police school, but failed in the exams. And then he decided to heed his mother's advice to continue the creative dynasty and entered the Institute of Contemporary Art, but his studies had to be interrupted due to military service. When Panfilov returned from there, he submitted documents to almost all theatrical universities in the capital, studied for a year at the Schepkinsky School, and then entered the Moscow Art Theater School. While still a student, he made his theatrical debut in the play by Evgeny Grishkovets "The Siege" on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater. A. Chekhov, where he remained after completing his studies.

Star role

While still a student, Nikita Panfilov got one of the main roles in the TV series "Adjutants of Love", after which he continued to act in films and TV series. In the first film work, he appeared on the screens in a wig, because he returned from the army shaved bald and since then has not changed his image. Loud popularity came to him after 30 years, when the film "DukhLess" and the series "Major" and "Sweet Life" were released. For a long time he got only minor roles, but it was impossible not to notice him - the charismatic and charming actor from the first appearance on the screens attracted the attention of spectators and earned the fame of one of the most attractive and courageous artists.

His most famous role and calling card was the protagonist of the series "Dog" Max Maximov. In this image, he appeared on screens for 5 years, during this time 6 seasons of the project came out, and the audience got so used to his character that many identified the actor himself with him. Panfilov is already tired of answering questions about this series, although he does not hide the fact that he is flattered by such popularity: "".

Due to the fact that he often appears on the screens in the same role - a brutal handsome man, a hero-lover, a conqueror of women's hearts - he was repeatedly asked questions about how close the actor is to his images. To this Panfilov replies: "".

Three marriages and one happiness

The actor, who will celebrate his 42nd birthday in 3 weeks, is in very good physical shape. He trains regularly in the gym, enjoys snowboarding, and rides a lot in the summer. Nikita Panfilov looks no worse than in his youth, and the army of his fans is growing every year. But the actor remains indifferent to the increased female attention to his person, because he finally found family happiness, which he had dreamed of for a long time. True, he did not manage to build a strong family on the first try.

While studying at the Moscow Art Theater School, Nikita Panfilov married his colleague, actress Vera Babenko. Their marriage did not last long, and neither he nor his ex-wife ever spoke about the reasons for the separation. In 2010, the actor married a second time to a girl named Lada, who had nothing to do with the world of cinema. However, this was precisely the problem - she could not come to terms with the fact that her husband often disappears on the set and is in the spotlight, and that numerous fans consider him as windy and frivolous as many of his movie heroes, and seek his location.

Lada often arranged scenes of jealousy for him, and the lack of trust destroyed his hopes for a strong harmonious relationship. After the couple had a son, Dobrynya, Panfilov tried to spend as much time with his wife and child as possible, but his wife demanded that he leave the acting profession altogether. But as a result, their marriage broke up for another reason: when the actor went to shoot in another city, she had another man. Panfilov was even ready to forgive her for treason, but still in 2016 they divorced.

Panfilov was very upset about their parting, because his ex-wife did not allow him to see his son and turned his life into a living hell. The actor admitted: "". A few months later, on social networks, he met Ksenia Sokolova, a St. Petersburg woman, a physician by training. The girl supported him at a difficult moment, their communication became an outlet for him. Since then, they have not parted.

In these relationships, the actor finally found what he had been looking for for a long time - understanding, support, harmony, trust. He no longer needed to constantly make excuses, try to please and prove something - Xenia accepted him as he was. In 2018, the couple had a daughter, Aurora, to whom the father pays maximum attention.

Lovelace on screens, monogamous behind the scenes

Today Nikita Panfilov says that he feels himself an absolutely happy person: he is still in demand in the profession, but now he has a reliable rear. His wife often accompanies him on the set and even starred in several episodes of the series "The Dog". She supports him in everything and tries to always be there, and after the next rehearsal or performance he hurries home, because he knows: he is very much expected there.

The actor hopes that this marriage will be his last. About his chosen one, he says: "".

For some men, the bald head becomes a subject for complexes, and for others - part of a brutal image. Not only Nikita Panfilov will agree with this: 13 charismatic actors to whom a zero-cut haircut gives a special charm.
