The bright role of one of the midshipmen made Mikhail Mamaev famous throughout the country. And his other talents as a poet, entrepreneur and charming TV presenter have never left thousands of women indifferent. However, despite the abundance of fans, Mikhail never found a wife. However, the names of his girlfriends are not known to everyone - the actor is very secretive and prefers to keep the secrets of his personal life secret. He is credited with novels with the most beautiful actresses and models - with Christina Orbakaite, Elena Korikova, with a partner in the "Red Shoe Diaries", and his resort romances were legendary. So why did the romantic "midshipman" choose to remain a bachelor?

Talent and vocation

Mikhail Mamaev was born into a military family, his father retired from the army with the rank of major general, so the boy was taught from childhood to love sports. In addition to this, Michael owes his father his writing skills. While still a schoolboy, pioneer and then Komsomol member Misha wrote articles for such newspapers as Pionerskaya Pravda, Krasnaya Zvezda, Komsomolskaya Pravda, Izvestia, and Soviet Sport. Therefore, after receiving a certificate of maturity, the young man entered MGIMO, and at the prestigious faculty of international journalism. Moscow life is full of impressions, and the talented student trusted all his experiences on paper - his poetic research was published in the popular magazines "Yunost" and "Smena" and even sounded on the All-Union radio. After graduating from the university, according to the distribution of Mamaev, they were supposed to be sent to Central America, but perestroika broke out, and Mikhail refused. His choice was the magazine "Ogonyok", beloved by many - it was there that, in the team of Artem Borovik, he learned all the subtleties of the profession.

Mamaev did not pass the path of entrepreneurship either. However, who was not doing this at that time? However, as Mikhail told the media, as the son of an officer who grew up in a military town, it was unusual for him to resell something - like his friends from childhood, he was used to sharing. Once in the restaurant of the House of Cinema in 1988, Mikhail met Svetlana Druzhinina. The director invited him to audition for the role in the new "Midshipmen", especially since the international journalist already had experience. Once he played a minor role in the film "Jester". He was also familiar with the theatrical term "entreprise" - with the light hand of a girl assistant to the theater director, Shevelkov began performing in the theater, reciting poems of his own composition. And here is the long-awaited main role, which made him a popular actor. Needless to say, the girls dreamed of getting at least an autograph of a romantic hero?

But joys, joys, but Mamaev was still able to finish acting education. In two years he was able to receive a red diploma from the acting department of GITIS and finally decide that acting is his vocation. He worked at the Yermolova Theater, on other theatrical stages in the entreprise, acted in films. Despite the fact that the role of the hero-lover was sticky, the actor was able to show himself well in the role of a bandit (the film "The Thief"), and perfectly play the sergeant (the action movie "Caravan"). Yes, and in Hollywood, our hero of the story also managed to visit, starring in "Marquis de Sade" and in the drama "The Diaries of the Red Shoe." However, as the actor himself jokes, since there were no offers from Steven Spielberg, he returned to his usual Moscow. Mamaev continued to act, also collaborating with Druzhinina in her "Secrets of Palace Revolutions" and the continuation of the glorious history of midshipmen. And from other directors the actor received offers, working on "Haute cuisine", "Once there will be love", "Atlantis".

The well-educated young man and popular actor is also loved on television: in 2011 he participates in the show "Dancing with the Stars", as well as in "Cooking duel" and "Fear Factor". And as a charming presenter, Mamaev was remembered by viewers in the programs "Conspiracy Theory" and "Mom, Dad, I am a sports family."

However, although journalism is a thing of the past, Mikhail does not abandon literary creativity. He owns the novels "Bosphorus" and "Revenge of the Scoundrels". And poems continue to be born. In 2017, he recorded his debut album. In it you will find the actor's poems set to the music he composed, and compositions from films about the famous students of the nautical school. So this person always has something to surprise the fans with.

Rumors and real love stories

As the actor briefly and succinctly answers the curious questions of journalists, "I have a personal life, or rather, it happens periodically." Therefore, speculation about his novels occurs constantly. After filming in "Midshipmen", his relationship with Christina Orbakaite was discussed with might and main - his character Olenev and the German princess Fike looked so organically in the frame. But in reality, nothing could have happened. The heart of young Mikhail was busy, and Vladimir Presnyakov often came to his girlfriend for the shooting. Although the actor did not deny that he liked Christina, outwardly graceful and with a deep look.

So who won the attention of Mamaev? Rumor has it that the actor had a great love in Turkey. In the 90s, as you know, little movies were filmed, and Mikhail rushed to work, getting a job as a bartender. The press wrote that, torn between a relationship with a representative of a travel company and an affair with a wealthy client, Mamaev was the first to cheat. Both women could not forgive the betrayal. Nevertheless, mental anguish poured into the novel "Bosphorus".

There were also rumors about his relationship with Elena Korikova. In the series "Champion" they starred together, which gave rise to talk about their romance. Well, the actor himself hinted about a fleeting passion with a Russian model who moved to Hollywood, but did not give out her name. They met while he was working on The Red Shoe Diaries. But soon the actor returned to Russia, and the novel itself faded away.

Now Mamaev rarely comes alone to social events. He is almost always accompanied by attractive girls, but so far the actor has not stopped in his choice.

Let's get married

Matchmakers from Channel One volunteered to help with the choice of a wife. However, from the initial minutes it became clear that Mikhail is very picky. He quoted Remarque and Dovlatov, confirming that he was not yet ripe for the decisive step. To all the cunning inquiries of the leading actors, the actor did not let slip about his past personal life. And, although as a result he went out with the bride, the couple did not work out. As Mamaev later shared, his friends persuaded him to go on this adventure. The only thing that his fans managed to find out is that the actor is indifferent to the stamp in the passport, and the only criterion of seriousness is his inner responsibility for the fate of a woman. So, according to him, he was "married" three times.

According to social networks, the actor prefers to travel and enjoys windsurfing. At 55 years old, she is in excellent physical shape, posting photos with a naked torso and often surrounded by the same sports companions. So, perhaps, the only one who could change his opinion about marriage has not yet met.
