Igor Vernik with his son Grisha Photo: Sergey Dzevahashvili / "Antenna - Telesem" "I will not be like fathers who scream at all corners that they have a terrific child growing up. I will say simply: I have a brilliant son (Grigory is 14 years old, this is the actor's son from a marriage with Maria, Vernik divorced her in 2009. - Antenna note), Igor smiled when we came to visit him. "But that does not mean that I adore him blindly." I closely monitor what is happening in Grisha's life. Definitely my son and I are good friends. Decided with him on the adventure: together they conducted on the channel "Yu" the project "School of Music" (reality show in which children from 8 to 14 years competed in different musical genres.) - Antennas note. For the son this is the debut as a presenter. But how he held on! Feels a character. Of course, not everything turned out perfectly. Grisha has a living organics, but on the stage he initially behaved stiffly. There were also problems with the diction: it seemed to him that he pronounced the words clearly, but I corrected him. I myself had to work with it in my time. When I entered the theater, I could not speak with excitement - my mouth was dry. I tried to chew gum, and wore water everywhere with me, but nothing helped. I managed with excitement not in a year, not in two, but much later, when I understood - the main thing is not to worry about worry. And, looking at Grisha, I represented the degree of his responsibility: spectators, jury, cameras, spotlights, and no one will give indulgence . I sincerely believe that this test of the pen became a good lesson for Grisha. You need to get used to the scene, understand. And what is still useful, on the project Grisha saw the guys, passionately passionate about their business, and realized how great it is to do what you love. "Grisha:" Dad sometimes asks who I want to be when I grow up. But I do not know what to say yet. Of course, I would like to follow in his footsteps, and I liked the role of TV presenter. It would be strange to think about the career of a teacher or a doctor if you have been raised in such an environment since childhood: grandfather is the main director of literary and drama broadcasting on the radio, now a teacher at the Moscow Art Theater School, uncle is the TV presenter and editor-in-chief of the magazine, another uncle graduated from the School the Moscow Art Theater and the cinema ".
