Aleksandr Ryapolov

The life of Alexander Ryapolov remotely resembles Charles Perrault's tale of Cinderella More recently, Alexander was a provincial basketball player who moved to Moscow, and then, by chance, one day on December 28, 2017, he suddenly turned into a famous actor.

The young man had fans, and career prospects went beyond the basketball field - now he may well find himself in Russian cinema. The premiere of the Russian sports drama "Moving Up", where Alexander played a basketball player from Kazakhstan Alzhan Musurbekovich Zharmukhamedov, glorified Ryapolov throughout Russia and beyond.

Alexander Ryapolov was born in Tashkent (Uzbekistan) on October 25, 1989 in a family of builders. The boy was only 9 years old when the family moved from hot Tashkent to Russian Chelyabinsk. The choice of the city is due to the fact that Alexander's maternal grandmother is from Chelyabinsk. At the turn of the 1990s-2000s, the socio-political situation in relation to the Russian-speaking population intensified in Uzbekistan, which is why the Ryapolovs change their place of residence.

The climate change brought several unpleasant moments to the southerner Alexander, since Ryapolov, who grew up in Tashkent, was not delighted with the snowy and frosty winter in the South Urals. When the boy was in the 8th grade of the Chelyabinsk school, basketball coach Andrei Gennadievich Yezhov came to the class with an invitation to enroll in his group. Alexander Gennadievich selected the boys with a height above average and appointed the time of the first training.

At first, Ryapolov treated basketball as entertainment, although for the first time the gym and other pupils of Yezhov made a serious impression on the young man. During training, Alexander met Andrei Zubkov, who also began to study basketball at the Chelyabinsk Sports School No. 8, and now plays as a heavy forward at the Khimki basketball club. Only in high school did Alexander Ryapolov, observing the success of his comrades, seriously think about the sports career of a basketball player.

It was not easy for a young man to combine professional sports with study, but his parents insisted on the need for higher education. So Alexander became a student at the South Ural State University, entering the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering.

However, even a serious construction profession did not force Ryapolov to abandon sports. At first, the young man was a member of the Dynamo-Teplostroy basketball team, but realizing that there were no prospects in it, a year later Alexander and his friends created a national student team. It took the guys only one year to win the Chelyabinsk basketball championship in its class.

Soon the student team reached a new level. Professional basketball player Maxim Pertsev played an important role in this. Playing for the national team of the faculty, Alexander Ryapolov improved his technique and showed himself to be a promising athlete. Soon the young man was invited to take part in the city competition "Petrel" as part of the SUSU national team. Perhaps thanks to Ryapolov's participation, the team then won for the first time in many years.

In the last courses of the university, Alexander played for the Chelyabinsk team, but to reach the professional level, the children needed the support of sponsors, which they did not find in the city. After receiving a diploma, Ryapolov shifted his focus from sports to working days and got a job in his specialty. Previous injuries on the field also contributed to this. Soon the young man became disillusioned with the profession due to an insufficient salary and decided to leave Chelyabinsk in search of new opportunities.

At the end of the summer, Alexander moved to Moscow, and after 3 days he received an offer to work in an organization that was engaged in design and construction. Simultaneously with his work, Ryapolov continued to improve his professional skills, for which he entered the All-Russian State University of Justice again for a construction specialty.

Once again in a student environment, Alexander returned to sports. The young basketball player defended the honor of the university at the all-Russian and European student competitions. Then Alexander finally realized that he could not live without basketball, and entered the Moscow State Academy of Physical Culture. For some time after graduation, Alexander worked as a fitness trainer in a Moscow club.

Alexander prefers not to tell the press about the details of his personal life, and on his personal page on Instagram, the only girl in the photo is the actor's sister. Therefore, it is not known whether the heart of a promising young handsome man is free.

Ryapolov devotes all his free time to sports, occasionally riding a bike or horseback, attending social events or ordinary parties with friends. Summer vacation in 2017, Alexander spent on the hot Spanish Mediterranean coast - the island of Majorca.

While still in his youth, playing basketball, Ryapolov met Alexander Belov (the son of the famous basketball player Alexander Belov). In Moscow, old acquaintances met again on the basketball field for a game. Then Belov Jr. had already signed a contract, according to the terms of which Alexander trained the actors from the movie "Moving Up" to effectively and effectively throw the ball into the basket.

Belov invited Ryapolov to play together with the actors for their better adaptation. Anton Megerdichev was also present at the training that day. Looking at how naturally and beautifully the ball flies from Alexander's hands into the basket, the director invited him to come to the screen test.

When Ryapolov was approved for the role of Alzhan Zharmukhamedov, the young man, according to the terms of the contract, had to lose weight. With a height of 207 cm, he lost 12 kg to achieve the maximum resemblance to a real athlete, and also cut his hair short, dyed his hair black and put on brown lenses.

In preparation for the filming process, the newly minted actor carefully studied the biography of his character, closely communicated with Alzhan Musurbekovich, trying to imbue with the events of the legendary match in the final of the basketball tournament at the 1972 Olympics.

In addition, if other actors had to hone their sports skills, then Alexander studied acting. But if a basketball player could become an actor, then actors with basketball had more serious problems. So, James Tratas was never able to play Modestas Paulauskas on the field in the game, for this he was picked up by an understudy for Nikolai Padius.

After the end of filming and the premiere of the film, Alexander Ryapolov seriously thought not only about his sports, but also about his acting career, but for now he is working as a sports rehabilitation coach in Moscow.
