On October 2, the famous actor and TV presenter Yevgeny Sidikhin turns 55. In the cinema, he often got the role of the military, in which he looks very convincing. On the screens he looks like a real superman, but in real life his image is far from on-screen, and he would prefer to forget about that time in his life that allowed him to play heroes with weapons in his hands so authentically …
As a child, Yevgeny Sidikhin did not think about the acting profession - he went in for sports and dreamed of long voyages, so he studied at the Club of Young Sailors at the Palace of Pioneers in Leningrad. In sports, Sidikhin achieved considerable success - he became the five-time champion of the city in freestyle wrestling among schoolchildren. It was a complete surprise to everyone that he decided to enter a theater university. On the first attempt he was admitted to LGITMiK, but he studied there for only a year - then the young man was drafted into the army.
Yevgeny Sidikhin spent the first months in the Turkestan Military District, and this time became a real nightmare for him. "", - the actor recalled.
Later, the actor said: "".
In 1983-1984 As part of a motorized rifle regiment, Sidikhin participated in hostilities, then fell ill with typhus and was hospitalized. He was not injured and has no awards. Today, the actor categorically refuses to talk on this topic and would prefer to forget about this period of his life forever. Obviously, the memories of the war are so hard for him that he hides his real feelings behind ironic and mean phrases: "".
After the service, Sidikhin returned to Leningrad and again entered the theater institute. According to him, this saved him from the "Afghan syndrome" - many of his colleagues were never able to find their place in a peaceful life. After graduating from the institute, Eugene was accepted into the troupe of the Theater. Lensovet, and after 4 years he moved to the BDT them. Tovstonogov. Salaries were scanty, the crisis of the 1990s broke out, and the actor had to earn money as a taxi driver and repair and paint cars at night.
In the cinema, the actor made his debut quite late - at the age of 27, but he immediately began to be trusted with the main roles. Unlike many actors, Sidikhin more than once agreed to play the death of his heroes. He also did not refuse those roles that had earned notoriety in the acting environment - for example, for 5 years Eugene played Macduff in the play Macbeth, while many of his colleagues, out of superstition, are afraid to even pronounce the title of this play. They say such experiments can have a bad effect on the fate of the actor. To this Sidikhin replies: "".
Once he had a chance to be convinced from his own experience that such acting superstitions are justified. In one of his first films "Beyond the last line", where Sidikhin played the role of a former boxer, he killed the hero Igor Talkov with two shots at point-blank range. The shooting of this episode took place on October 6, 1990. Exactly one year later, on the same day, the artist was shot during a concert at the Yubileiny Sports Palace, using a pistol of the same system.
A similar story happened on the set of the TV series "Moore is Moor". Sidikhin's partner in filming, Nikolai Volkov, in one of the scenes got up from the table and said to him: "" By a fateful coincidence, this was the last shot in his life. The scene of his hero's funeral was filmed the day after the death of the actor.
Sidikhin played brutal heroes not only in domestic but also in European cinema. He was repeatedly invited to shoot in Germany, Norway and Hungary. But with Hollywood, he did not work out - one day a casting director from America called him in the middle of the night, and Eugene, sleepily, did not understand what was what, and hung up. But he never aspired to Hollywood - he says he would not agree to play the roles of Russian villains, which are usually offered there to domestic actors.
On the screens, Evgeny Sidikhin is always imperturbable, courageous and stern. And in real life, it is completely different - a gentle and loving husband and father, intelligent, doubting, gentle. On this occasion, the actor says: "". Hundreds of women fell in love with his brutal heroes, and he himself lived all his life with one chosen one, Tatyana Borkovskaya, with whom he connected his fate while still studying at the theater institute. They had three daughters, in whose upbringing he took an active part, hiding the fact that washing diapers was not a problem for him.
Evgeny Sidikhin rarely recalls his military past today. "" - says the actor.
Shooting in the film "Beyond the Last Line" was not the only prophetic event in the life of Igor Talkov: Mystical episodes of life and the mystery of the death of the singer.
