On account of his more than 70 works in films, thanks to which he gained fame as the most famous full-time actor. But a couple of years ago, Alexander Semchev changed beyond recognition. He got rid of one hundred extra pounds and appeared in front of the audience and fans in a new image. At the same time, the actor's changes affected not only his appearance, but also his attitude to life and to his own attitude. What prompted the actor to make radical changes?

The will to win

For the time being, Alexander Semchev was quite pleased with life and himself, despite the fact that he was approaching a weight of 200 kilograms. But after the actor began to rapidly lose weight and once appeared before the audience, losing weight by a whole centner! At the same time, he did not seek help from fashionable diets and nutritionists, but he himself revised his nutrition, choosing the most suitable system for him.

He stopped eating junk food, replacing it with proper nutrition. At first, he ate, for the most part, vegetables, baking them in the oven, and a spoonful of buckwheat steamed with boiling water. He refused any muffins, fell in love with chicken breast, allowed himself bread extremely rarely and necessarily yeast-free, and also drank a lot of water. But, in his own words, this was not enough. Alexander Semchev had to strictly limit his portions, having learned to use no more than three hundred grams per meal.

In addition, the actor began to engage in physical education, very carefully so as not to damage the joints, and so suffering from a huge load. He rocked the abs, walked a lot and worked with a fitness rubber band. But while losing weight, Alexander Semchev constantly turned to doctors, monitoring his health and periodically passing the necessary tests.

And just a year later, instead of immense suits, he was able to try on a quite acceptable size "two X", as he says himself. In addition, he had to seek the help of a plastic surgeon to get rid of too saggy skin on his face. According to Alexander Semchev, this is not his last plastic surgery, because it will still be necessary to put the whole body in order, relieving it of "excess" skin.

It was not the desire to surprise or impress someone that prompted the actor to lose weight. The older Alexander Semchev got (today he is 51 years old), the harder it was for him to move, and his weight was trying to grow a little more. Now he is ashamed of himself in the past, amazed at how awful he used to look.

Unfortunately, the rapid loss of such a lot of weight did not pass without leaving a trace for the actor. He began to feel dizzy and worried about a sharp drop in blood pressure. But he does not intend to give up and is determined to put his health in order.

Not only looks

Another disadvantage of losing weight, Alexander Semchev, calls the lack of new roles. Directors, who often invited him to comedy projects, today are somewhat discouraged and very rarely call Semchev to act. But he is not going to lose heart and is optimistic about the future. And he believes that he can, as he once dreamed, play not in a comedy, but in a drama.

In addition, according to the actor, he began to look at many things in life differently. He realized many of his mistakes and now wants to do everything to compensate for their negative consequences.

As you know, the actor has three sons from three different women. At the same time, he took a very indirect part in the life of older children. The first-born Pavel was born against the wishes of Alexander Semchev, and for many years he was not interested in his son at all.

In the marriage of the actor with Yulia Panova, a son, Cyril, was born, but the desire to make a career in the life of Alexander Semchev was much stronger than the prospect of raising a baby and taking care of the family. True, even after parting with his wife, the actor maintained relations with Kirill and was even interested in his affairs.

But Alexander Semchev did not even think to come to a meeting with his eldest child within the framework of the “Let them talk” program. Several years had to pass before any progress was made in the relationship of the actor with the elder sons.

But Alexander Lvovich always spent a lot of time with his youngest son Fedor, despite the divorce from his mother. He took part in the upbringing of Fedor, attended parent-teacher meetings, shared his hobbies.

Now the actor admits: he would like his children to communicate with each other. Perhaps it will take a little more time before the elder sons can completely forgive their father for their childhood grievances. However, already now normal relations have been established between them, they call up and meet.

Currently, the actor is getting used to living in his new body, he expects that directors will be able to appreciate the changes that have occurred to him and will begin to offer serious dramatic roles in both cinema and theater. In any case, Alexander Semchev's health is now in the first place.

The actor's heart is now free, but he believes that he will meet the woman with whom they can build a happy family.

Fighting overweight is difficult and, it seems, sometimes impossible. But many of our domestic celebrities still managed to change beyond recognition.
