I have time to go left

Photo: Alexander Zhigalkin personal archive- In 50 years, especially no results are not summarized. It's too early. I am a young father, my son in April will be two years old! Life goes on, the movie is removed. The actors and the crew of “Voronin” very warmly congratulated me, decorated the pavilion with balloons, wrote “50 years”, shouted, gave a gift. Once again, I made sure that we have a friendly team. It is very nice. We have been shooting for eight years and another year, I hope, we will work. By Voronin, as well as by 6 frames, which were also shot for ten years, I regard as a beautiful part of life, but I have time to go left. Now I am looking forward to the release on NTV of the 10-series serial "Force Majeure" with Pasha Priluchnyi in the lead role. It all came together: and wonderful young artists, and an exciting story. It turned out such a criminal comedy a bit in the style of Tarantino. Well, I played the role of a director. Working with his wife (actress Svetlana Antonova became famous after the movie "The Hunt for Piranha" and many television projects. - Note. "Antennas") is difficult, pleasant and responsible. Sveta is a professional person and knows that I am not a husband at the site, but a director. We worked together on the set of the 4-episode comedy “Pension“ Fairy Tale ”, or Miracles Included,” which has been successfully going on for New Year's holidays on NTV. Sveta played everything remarkably, sang, and the film was very warm, kind and musical. And now she has a small role in "Voronin". She plays the boss Kostya Simone Albertovna. This is what we do together. And besides this, Sveta is shooting a lot and, I hope, will soon come back to the stage again.

All at home at once - cheerful madhouse

- All my children:both the elders, Polina and Nastya, and the younger ones, Tasya, Masha and Senya, are friends. When Tasenka appeared, Polina and Nastya came to visit, babysit her. Now five-year-old Taska is already thinking like an adult, which causes many pleasant emotions in all of us. What happens in life between adults cannot but affect children, but we must try to make it as little as possible. All my children treat each other like native people. Children are not to blame for the fact that one of the parents has a different life, they should get their own piece of happiness. I have always been incredibly pleased with my daughters, they are different and beautiful. Two years ago, a son appeared in our family. Every man dreams of a son. Now I am absolutely happy and finally am in harmony with the world. A son, even at his small age, is an absolute man, with a different energy, different reactions, and this is a completely new world. And how many more wonderful moments he will give us in the future! We already watch hockey with him, he is happy to watch what is happening on the screen. The girls love Senka and touchingly tinker with him. Sveta and I are happy when we manage to collect all the children at once. It turns out to be a funny madhouse, we talk noisily at the table, go skating with the whole crowd, come up with some kind of entertainment. Recently everyone was at my anniversary. And on the eve of the World, she prepared a gift for me - she gathered all the children for a photo session. Now we have photographs in which all my children are together, smart, beautiful and beloved. Photo: personal archive of Alexander Zhigalkin

Antique furniture and flea markets

- We sold the Moscow apartment and with the helpmortgages bought a small, but also a rather big house on Novorizhskoye highway. We wanted the house to be warm, without trendy haytekovskoy furniture, so we bought a buffet of the XIX century and a few antique tables. Sveta and I love antique furniture, we go to flea markets, in Moscow - to Tishinka, and when we go abroad, we try to make sure that the days of our stay are Saturday, when European flea markets work. We certainly find something interesting for ourselves there. Sveta and I grew up in hospitable families, where large companies and fun get-togethers were a tradition, so we are happy when a lot of people gather here. When Taci celebrated the fifth anniversary, they calculated how many guests there would be and realized that there were not enough chairs. I had to go buy more. And when all forty people gathered, there were not enough forks and knives. As in the good old days, they asked the neighbors to help us out. After that, we were given a set of cutlery. And the holiday was great. We like to lay flat before the guests, so that the table is full of delicious food and drinks, so that it is cramped and fun. People often come to us with musical instruments, and we sing. I was given a guitar for my anniversary, and now I will sing Arseny’s children's folk songs.

55 kilos of happiness

- Since childhood, I had a dream - I wanted a biga dog that I would love, and she would love me. Now the dream has come true. We have a Bernese Mountain Dog named Noah. He is huge, 53 kilograms, handsome, funny and silly due to his age. He lives in a warm booth on the porch and is the owner of our site. He guards it, describes it, and so on. But in the house he is also a welcome guest, he likes to get under the kitchen table and lick the feet of everyone who sits at the table. Photo: personal archive of Alexander Zhigalkin

Papin's tender omelette

- I really love cooking and doing it likethey say not bad. I enjoy watching culinary programs, especially the famous English chef Jamie Oliver, his cooking style is both simple and sophisticated. Children sometimes ask me to make their papa a “tender” omelette and crack it with pleasure. My soups are tasty: solyanka, borscht, khashlama. But, when eight years ago Sveta and I began to live together, it turned out that she cooks tastier thousands of times, comes up with some incredible sauces and dressings. We joke that we have a cafe at the Svetlana cafe. She is generally a wonderful mistress and the best mother in the world. At our dacha in the Yaroslavl province 200 kilometers from Moscow, she grows a garden with beautiful flowers, trees, vegetables in two greenhouses. Sveta preserves fantastic cucumbers and tomatoes, her friends cleared and lined up behind them. Now we make blanks in much larger volumes than before, because we distribute most of them. This is the brand of our family.

Bath on Thursdays

- I spent a lot of time in my youth in a pleasantbohemian fun, in companies where they discussed issues of creativity, sang, drank, dreamed. There was a time when every Thursday we tried to go to the bathhouse. It was very cool. But time has passed, and today too much responsibility is on me as the head of the family. And although I am again in the status of a young father, like 25 years ago when Polina was born, but to hang out, as then, today there is no opportunity, no desire. Tasia wakes up, and if I haven't left, her first question is: “Dad, do you have a day off?” She knows that if I don't have filming or other work, we will go to the cinema, to the store, we will play, we will walk. Today, more want to be at home with the family, and not somewhere in the company. And on a visit, of course, we go with Sveta, and lately we have been trying with the children. Children for us is the most important thing!
