Actor Alexander ZbruevThe biography of which causes genuine interest among viewers, recently celebrated its 84th birthday. Although even at such a respectable age, he manages to play in the theater and act in films.

Today's edition. "Site" He offers to learn how the People's Artist of the RSFSR (he received the award in 1989) moved to great popularity and what obstacles awaited him on this path.



Alexander Zbruev biography The future actor of theater and cinema was born on March 31, 1938 in Moscow. He did not know his father, as he was detained in November 1937, and six months later shot as an “enemy of the people.”

As a result, Alexander and his mother for 6 years were forced to move to the Yaroslavl region. They returned to Moscow only in 1944, when the war was coming to an end.



Like any boy of that time, Alexander spent a lot of time in the company of yard guys. It’s no wonder Zruev liked to cheat. But I hated studying and even stayed for the second year.

In his teenage years, Alexander got into an unpleasant story - he tried to steal money from a neighbor and got caught. But Zbruev was able to draw the right conclusions from that lesson. He remembered that shame so much that he never took anything from anyone else.

But the guy was fond of sports and tried to keep himself in good shape in case of danger to be able to protect himself and his loved ones. A special place in his life took gymnastics and boxing.



For some time, Alexander even wanted to leave school, because he considered studying a waste of time. I didn’t want to get a job but to become a driver. And only under the pressure of relatives he graduated from 9 classes and went to the B. V. Shchukin Theater School.

It is not surprising that Zbruev was initially skeptical of his studies. However, he became involved in the educational process, fell in love with the profession and even broke with his former hooligan company, which dragged him back.

Already in 1961, the young actor graduated from Pike and was in the Lenin Komsomol Theater, where he immediately took root in the team. Although for several years he played only minor characters and gained experience.

And then, under the guidance of director Anatoly Efros, he revealed his huge potential. And in the same theater Alexander Zbruev serves to this day.



To make his debut in the movie Zbruev managed in 1958, when he played a cameo role in the film “Wind”. However, the role was so insignificant that the young actor was not even indicated in the credits.

But in 1962, Alexander Viktorovich made his debut in the film My Little Brother. The film was successful, in 1963 it was watched by 23 million Soviet viewers.



After such success, Zbruev often appeared on the screen. The height of 175 centimeters did not prevent him from playing strong and courageous heroes. He was particularly successful in the role of the military, which was relevant in the 60-70s, when films about the war were shot one after another.

However, Alexander Zbruev could play almost any hero well. For example, in the film “Guardian” the actor embodied in the parasite Misha Koroedov. And in the adventure film “Ring from Amsterdam” played the navigator on the ship.



Today, despite his impressive age, Alexander Zbruev continues to play in the theater. He doesn’t like to celebrate birthdays at all. The man is sure that this festive fuss only interferes with creativity. And he brought this thought to his loved ones.

I want to believe that this iconic actor will delight the audience for a long time with his youthful enthusiasm and great talent.
