Aleksandr Bashirov

For some, the artist is admirable, for others - a complete rejection. Alexander Bashirov is from the category of people who are either loved or hated. His antics are discussed in the media, and some of the actor's shocking acts, balancing on the brink of what is permissible, have fallen into the category of legends and myths of Russian cinema.

The artist was born in September 1955 in the taiga wilderness - in the village of Sogom near Khanty-Mansiysk. He grew up in an incomplete and dysfunctional family, far from cinema and any other kind of art. The parents divorced immediately after the appearance of their son. Mom is Tatar by nationality, she raised the boy alone. Alexander's father, a representative of the Khanty, Nikolai Bashirov, did not take part in raising his son.

The only adult man in the house was his grandfather - a one-armed invalid and anti-Soviet, according to Alexander Bashirov, who did not want to work for the new government because of "fundamental political differences in views." Only one occupation did not cause rejection from my grandfather - fishing. Therefore, the only breadwinner was the mother, who worked at the post office until old age.

Alexander Bashirov says that in childhood and adolescence he had two passions - smoking and drawing. Bashirov became addicted to smoking in the 3rd grade "for the company".

The name of Siberia / Alexander Bashirov Alexander Nikolaevich Bashirov is a Russian actor and film director. Born September 24, 1955 ...

Alexander left his native land in his youth, after which he went to Leningrad, where he entered a vocational school to become a tiler-facing. After graduation, the future actor got a job at a cement plant in Vyborg, where he worked until he was drafted into the army in 1981.

Bashirov served in Transbaikalia, in a tank division. The addiction to drawing influenced the service: the artist was assigned to the army club. In the author's program “Visiting Dmitry Gordon,” Bashirov said that in his second year of service, the graphic designer was given the task to draw Leonid Brezhnev, General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, wearing a tank helmet. The artist coped with the honorable mission on time, but as soon as the portrait was hung on the facade of the club, the leader died.

When asked from whom Bashirov got his genes, the actor humorously replied in an interview that “it's all about my eternal and unsatisfied desire to rule over people,” inherited from the ancestor-khan from the Golden Horde.

Whatever it was, but 2 years after demobilization, Alexander Bashirov entered the directing department of VGIK and got into the group of Igor Talankin. Under his supervision, a 30-year-old student studied for 2 years and transferred to the course of Anatoly Vasiliev. The reason for the transfer was Bashirov's shocking trick.

In student sketches, where future directors presented scenes from dramatic works, Alexander played Satan, who appeared before Faust. In Bashirov's reading, the lord of darkness came on stage in a dressing gown, under which there were no other clothes. Once in the center, Satan was exposed. In the hall were Sergei Bondarchuk, Irina Skobtseva, Inna Makarova. A huge scandal followed and a transfer to the group to another mentor.

After graduating from VGIK, Alexander, along with his American wife, moved to New York, studied for a year at the Berghof Studio of Lawrence Arancio, from where Al Pacino, Liza Minnelli and Robert De Niro came out.

In his student years, Alexander Bashirov married an American and left with his wife to her homeland. In marriage, a son, Christopher, was born, with whom the artist maintains a relationship after returning to Russia. But the actor returned home alone: ​​he divorced his wife due to a difference in views on life and a difference of characters.

Over time, Bashirov's personal life improved. He is married to the soloist of the musical group "Kolibri" Inna Volkova, with whom he has a daughter, Alexandra-Maria. There is no information about the artist's other children on the Web.

In the husband's project "Zh.P.O." Volkova played a singer from a bar and wrote the song "Not a Hero" for the film.

The reason for many of the actor's outrageous antics is called an eccentric character and alcoholism. So, in June 2011, the tabloids relished the news about Bashirov's drunkenness, or rather, about its consequences - "crawling" along the star track of "Kinotavr". Alexander really was in a state of alcoholic intoxication, but he crawled along the path to cheer up those present and violate the ceremoniality of the event, declaring that "the holy fools can do anything."

Wonderful !!!

At the same time, the artist assures that his health has not yet let him down, except that it can be difficult to get into work with a hangover. But in this case, he always has the necessary medicines with him.

Bashirov does not have an official Instagram page, but on VKontakte his fans have created a group dedicated to their favorite artist, and publish there photos and videos with Alexander's participation, and also discuss films in which the man was filmed. Many note that over the years the actor has managed to maintain a slender figure - with a height of 172 cm, his weight is 70 kg.

If there are tattoos on the artist's body, a big mystery, in the film "Land of OZ" he appears with a picture in the form of a church with three domes on his chest, but most likely, this is not a real tattoo, but it was made to emphasize the image of the hero in a particular picture ...

Once there were rumors on the Web that Alexander Bashirov had died, but they quickly disappeared. The actor is alive, in good health and is not going to end his acting career yet.

Acting biography of Alexander Bashirov begins with a cameo role in Sergei Solovyov's drama "Alien White and Pockmarked".
