Boris Kluev

Boris Klyuev is a Soviet and Russian theater and film actor, board member of the Guild of Cinema Actors of Russia, People's Artist of the Russian Federation. Depicting smart and elegant dandies on the screen and the theatrical stage is the artist's favorite role, and in life he remains an example to follow among colleagues. According to the actor, he loves beauty and is looking for it in everything, whether it be theatrical work or the development of a personal plot.

Boris Klyuev was born in July 1944 in Moscow. The boy's father was actor Vladimir Klyuev.

But the son did not remember dad, since he suddenly died at the age of 36. Boris at that time was barely 4 years old.

At school, Boris Klyuev, to put it mildly, did not shine with success. The mother and son's behavior did not please. And who knows how the boy's life would have turned out if it had not been for his passion for the stage.

Once a student was involved in a school play "Devil's Mill". The role was played by Boris so that the next morning after the premiere, the artist woke up as a school celebrity.

After graduating from school, Boris decided to enter a theater university. He chose the Shchukin school, where his father studied. But successfully passed exams did not become a pass to this university: Klyuev was asked to pick up the documents, since the young man was to serve in the army for 3 years. Boris was not at a loss and took the documents to "Sliver", but he ended up in the army.

His career at the Maly Theater began with episodes. For the first time, theatergoers saw Klyuev in the performances "Fair of Vanity", "The Power of Darkness" and "Glass of Water". The first significant role went to the young artist in the production of "So It Will Be", where he played a hero named Sergei Sinitsyn.

Since then, Boris Vladimirovich Klyuev has appeared in many wonderful performances. Over the course of 40 years devoted to one theater, the actor has played dozens of diverse roles. "The Thunderstorm", "Tsar Ivan the Terrible", "King Lear", "Wolves and Sheep" - in these productions, theater-goers enjoyed watching the play of the talented artist.

And Boris Klyuev is a professor and heads the department of acting in the "Sliver". He brought up a galaxy of actors such as Yegor Beroev, Vladimir Zherebtsov, Elena Velikanova, Alla Yuganova and Christina Asmus.

The cinematic biography of Boris Klyuev also started as a student. The actor first appeared in films in 1968: in the film "The Punisher" he got the role of a patrol officer. And after 2 years, Boris Vladimirovich was offered the first starring role.

In the film "The Collapse of the Empire" he played the Minister of the Provisional Government Shulgin. The artist was noticed, but real popularity came to him later, in 1979, when the 3-part film "D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers" was released.

After the release of the picture on the screens, everyone who starred in it turned out to be stars of the first magnitude. It is noteworthy that Boris Vladimirovich invented the stage image of this hero himself. He insisted that the Count of Rochefort should not have a beard, but only its likeness in the form of a neat aristocratic wedge.

Klyuev's next starring role is Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock's brother, in the acclaimed film by Igor Maslennikov "Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson", released in 1980. Even in the 1990s, Boris Vladimirovich did not remain without work. He starred in the films "Queen Margot", "The Countess de Monsoreau", "The Royal Hunt" and "Genius".

And in the new century, the talented artist is not lost. He starred in many well-known and popular TV series, such as "Kamenskaya", "Simple Truths", "Mad" and "Heartbreakers". But most of all, the audience fell in love with his charming head of the family Nikolai Petrovich Voronin in the comedy sitcom "Voronin", released in November 2009. Together with Anna Frolovtseva, the actors created an excellent family duet. For the performance of the leading role, the artist was awarded the TEFI Prize in 2011.

In 2013 Boris Klyuev joined the cast of the popular detective series Streets of Broken Lanterns. In this project, the actor reminded viewers that one of his main roles is not a pensioner and grumpy father-in-law, but a military man. With an outstanding height (187 cm), the artist is famous for his ability to create a stern and imperious image of a high-ranking official in an army or police structure.

According to the man, he plays every role as the main one, therefore, even for episodic images in his filmography, Boris Vladimirovich is not ashamed.

Back in Soviet times, when Klyuev practically did not leave his negative role, the artistic commission that sets rates for the actors categorically did not want to raise Boris's salary, arguing this with his negative characters. To this, Innokenty Smoktunovsky remarked that even if professionals associate an artist with roles, then he is an excellent performer. The rate was raised.

The personal life of Boris Klyuev is closed from prying eyes. It is known that Boris Vladimirovich had 3 marriages. The names of the first two spouses are unknown. Their photos have not survived either.

The only son, Aleksey, born in 1969, died in his early youth - at the age of 24 - from heart failure, the same disease from which Boris Klyuev's father suddenly passed away. As far as the press knows, the actor has no other children. The son did not have time to create his own family, so he did not leave behind his father and mother grandchildren.

Today, the personal life of Boris Vladimirovich Klyuev is associated with his third wife Victoria. The couple have been together since 1975. The wife has nothing to do with the acting profession.

The artist's favorite pastime is to relax at his own dacha in Zvenigorod near Moscow. And Boris Vladimirovich loves sports. The actor is the president of the Maly Theater football team.

In 2018, information appeared in the media that Boris Klyuev was sick with oncology. The actor himself at that time refrained from commenting on his health condition. Now he actively continues to act in films and play in the theater. The historical drama "Godunov" was released, in which the artist played the serious role of Metropolitan Dionysius.

Boris Vladimirovich also continued shooting in the series Streets of Broken Lanterns, and celebrated his 75th birthday at the working site of the sitcom about the Voronins.

In 2019, Klyuev officially confirmed that he had lung cancer. According to the artist, the disease does not prevent him from doing what he loves. The actor is undergoing planned treatment. In his free time, he is engaged in floristry at his dacha. Boris Vladimirovich periodically communicates with journalists. So, in 2019, he gave an interview in which he said that his colleague, the Georgian actor Vakhtang Kikabidze, despite assurances, continues to leave for work in Russia. Here the artist conducts corporate concerts.
