In the cinematic environment, creative couples with many years of family life can be counted on one hand. The family of Alexander Lazarev and Svetlana Nemolyaeva has long been among them. They both found themselves aloof from the temptations that surrounded the actors on film sets, premieres, festivals, remaining faithful to each other. That's Alexander Lazarev Jr., who had before him a living example of devoted and tender love, inherited from his parents in addition to his acting talent, he inherited an extraordinary quality - he is a monogamous person.

Alexander Lazarev - this name in the acting world obliges to a lot, and the "junior" only increases the responsibility, since, having a direct relation to the hereditary dynasty, one cannot underestimate the bar. And Lazarev Jr. honorably copes with the role assigned to him by fate. The artist concentrated not only a rare combination of excellent external data, choreographic, dramatic and vocal talent, but also the extraordinary human qualities of a loyal and devoted family man and a wonderful father.

Creative dynasty

They say about people like Alexander, the biography chose them herself. Alexander Lazarev Jr. (born 1967), a native Muscovite, the only son - the third generation of the creative dynasty. In addition to his parents, the famous four actors Lazarev and Nemolyaeva, his grandfather Vladimir Nemolyaev was a famous Soviet screenwriter and film director, and his grandmother was a sound engineer. His father's brother, Yuri, is also a theater actor, and his maternal uncle is a famous cameraman. Yes, and Lazarev Jr. himself grew up behind the scenes and, as a teenager, made his debut both in the theater and in the cinema, so the question of who to be in front of Sasha never stood. And how they like to joke in their family: their dynasty could have turned into a full-fledged film group.

In addition, the parents never objected to the choice of the son of an acting profession. But he himself firmly decided that he would follow in the footsteps of his parents when he watched the play "Running" - the play of the actors and the production itself so shocked the future artist. After school, Alexander, on the first attempt, successfully entered the Moscow Art Theater School, his father carefully prepared him for admission, without giving up the descent.

Despite the fact that the Lazarev-Nemolyaev couple had worked all their lives at the Mayakovsky Theater, Alexander Jr. dreamed of getting into Lenkom, whose performances he simply adored. This opportunity presented itself to the young man after the third year and since then the actor has been loyal to "Lenkom" to this day.

- the actor recalls the beginning of his creative career.

Being a beginner and inexperienced, the actor, of course, did not want to use the glory of famous parents. And in his first student films he starred under the pseudonym Trubetskoy. He wanted to succeed himself and he did it. Only later, "Alexander Lazarev Jr." began to appear in the credits. And now, when a famous actor is asked if he is going to remove the prefix "younger" after the death of his father (Alexander Sergeevich died in 2011), he answers: "younger" I will remain forever, because the father is alive in his roles.

Falling in love and first love

Sasha, who grew up in a full-fledged, happy family, where both parents were famous personalities, fully managed to absorb their love, tenderness, care, trust and bring them into his family and his destiny. They were a true example of what a real strong family should be.

Alexander was a hooligan and amorous boy. And he began to fall in love with the second grade. But it so happened that his childhood enthusiasm remained unrequited. And since his adolescence and youth passed behind the scenes of Mayakovka, where his parents served, all the young and pretty actresses of the theater in turn became the object of his love, of course, unrequited.

But Alina Ayvazyan, his future wife, Sashka did not notice at all, although they lived in neighboring houses and were familiar almost from childhood. They had fun in the common courtyard company.

Years passed … And one day, by coincidence, Alina and her friend appeared on the doorstep of the Lazarevs' apartment. When Alexander opened the door and saw a longtime acquaintance, it was as if an electric shock pierced him. He immediately noted for himself that she would become his wife, which he did not fail to tell his friend Vanka, after the girls had left.

Alina also noted this meeting for herself as a sign. She was struck by the fact that the young man who opened the door, whom, by the way, she had liked very much for a long time, was wearing a T-shirt with an advertising image of some festival and the inscription "May 15". The girl considered this a fateful sign, because this date coincided with her birthday. However, she did not show it then.

Soon a passion flared up between the young people, but it was firmly decided to get married after graduation. Alexander then studied at the theater, Alina - at the philology department. But the lovers got married just after celebrating their 20th anniversary. And two years later, little Pauline appeared in a young family.

Life under the close supervision of parents

The newlyweds, having got married, came to live with Sasha's parents. For some reason, Alina was afraid of her mother-in-law to trembling knees. Nevertheless, they had an excellent relationship from the first acquaintance. Nemolyaeva strongly supported the girl, which helped her quickly get used to the extraordinary creative atmosphere that reigned in the Lazarevs' house.

But Alexander Lazarev Sr. from the very beginning was horrified by the early marriage of his son, and then by Alina's early pregnancy, and then, he could not survive that her beloved granddaughter Polina would have a brother. However, as soon as everything that Lazarev Sr. was so opposed to happened, he accepted what had happened as inevitability and replaced anger with mercy.

So, he soon turned into an excellent father-in-law, and later into the most loving and gentle grandfather. He adored Polina to such an extent that when he learned about Alina's pregnancy with her second child, he was very upset, worried that his beloved granddaughter would be deprived of attention.

For each other mountain

True marriage is a great, meticulous work of both partners, created on trust, understanding, support, the ability to listen, and prompt. And this, in spite of their youth, the Lazarevs learned excellently. From the first days of their life together, Sasha and Alina were a mountain for each other. Parents on both sides tried to "polish" them, teaching their wits. But they steadfastly held the defenses in "battles" on a local scale.

And when, at last, through joint efforts, money was raised and a small apartment in a new building on the outskirts was purchased, the young couple were immensely happy, having moved out from their parents. Daughter Polina was then already four years old. The Lazarevs still remember with a smile and a sense of pride how, having driven into a new apartment, the two of them independently laid tiles in the kitchen, which peeled off the wall a month later and collapsed in the middle of the night, frightening all the neighbors.

Their strong love and dashing 90s did not break them, when hopelessness and lack of money literally overwhelmed and oppressed. At the beginning of her family life, Alina worked as a translator of children's literature and earned several times more than her husband, an aspiring theater artist. But the woman had enough wisdom and tact not to reproach the faithful. Alina only reassured him: "Today I am, and tomorrow you." Since the woman knew for sure that the day would come and Alexander would occupy his niche in the world of cinema and become a sought-after actor. And so it happened.

With age, the demand for Alexander in cinema grew, and today there are more than 90 films and TV series in his filmography. Among them are the main roles in the popular projects "Zemsky Doctor", "The Long Way Home", "Diplomat" and many others.

And now Alina, leaving her career for the sake of her family, sits at home, creating comfort in it and doing housework. At the same time, the spouse does not get tired of repeating that she is behind her husband, like behind a stone wall. Although he has one small drawback, this is pedantry, because of which many conflicts arose at the beginning of their family life. Alexander is simply incredibly fond of order, makes sure that everything is in its place, arranged in colors, on shelves and in the strictest order. Unlike him, Alina is the complete opposite, loves creative mess and does not pay attention to various trifles.

And Lazarev Jr., does not miss the opportunity to declare that it never occurred to him to cheat on his wife, considering it the norm, the Lazarev family axiom, to which Alina joked more than once: Therefore, despite all the established stereotypes and fashion trends, the spouses spend all their free time together: relaxing in the country, traveling or just enjoying each other at home. In addition, the actor considers Alina to be his main critic, who knows how to gently correct some flaws in his work. He is very grateful to her for this, because in his profession such support and help are important.

Continued in children

Their daughter Polina is today one of the leading actresses of the Mayakovsky Theater, and often goes on stage with her grandmother, Svetlana Vladimirovna. Son Sergei somewhat moved away from the acting dynasty and graduated from the production department of VGIK. - the father says with pride in the heir.

Wedding

So, having lived thirty years in love and harmony, having made two wonderful children, Lazarev in 2018 decided to prove her love before God. The wedding of Alexander and Alina took place in Tbilisi. It is worth noting that the spouses did not publicly announce the upcoming celebration. A close friend of the family, Alena Khmelnitskaya, posted on her personal blog a video from the wedding of the Lazarevs. She is sincerely happy for her close friends.

And what is curious, Alexander's parents, two years before his father's death, decided to get married. Their example, both in creativity and in marriage, has always been worthy of imitation for Lazarev Jr. He, both in the acting profession and in his personal life, repeated the happy fate of his parents.

But it's amazing how it was possible, being together almost 24 hours a day, for more than half a century to remain happy in a marriage. But they could … "We are a long echo of each other": Svetlana Nemolyaeva and Alexander Lazarev.
