Gela Meshi

Gela Meskhi is a versatile actor, he was both Hamlet, a high school student in love with a teacher, and a political prisoner. The person who so subtly combines the game with the emotions that he experiences behind the screen is endowed with talent from above, fans are sure. The fact that Meskhi is a solid bare nerve was noted by university teachers and taught to experience inside. In life, says the artist, he is irrational:

Gela was born on May 13, 1986 in Gori (zodiac sign - Taurus). With the beginning of the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict, the parents moved to the capital of Russia. Mom Marina Antonovna is Russian, the actor himself also considers himself to be of this nationality. Raul Sevarovich's father has Georgian and Spanish roots. The head of the family is a big fan of football, and he wanted to name his son Rocky Junior, in accordance with the traditions of Brazilian football players. But my mother insisted on the name Gela.

At school, the young man studied poorly, three times found himself on the verge of exclusion for hooliganism, but he gladly drove the ball and played in amateur performances. To guide him on the right path, his parents had to take up the belt, Meskhi recalled in an interview. Only in high school, when he wondered how to live further, he realized that he was really good at playing football and reading expressively.

Happy Birthday, our dear Gela !!! )) Great happiness to you, love and many interesting projects, With love, TC Aldonina

The literature teacher recommended Gela to study in a theater studio. The news that the guy was going to be an artist made his relatives laugh: supposedly the profession would not bring money. And when he entered GITIS, they were very surprised.

After studying for a year, Meskhi transferred to VGIK to Vladimir Grammatikov. Then he left from there to get on the course of Konstantin Raikin at the Moscow Art Theater School. Gela later explained this throwing. In GITIS "the guys are relaxed and imposing." At the Institute of Cinematography, hopes for a quick shooting did not come true. And with Raikin you can't get overwhelmed, "in his youth, an actor needs tough discipline to work and work."

With these words Gela explained why he is rarely seen on the red carpet and the name does not flash on the pages of the press. He made an exception only for the "Evening Urgant" and a couple of radio stations.

Nevertheless, Meskhi is not deprived of increased attention thanks to his relationship with Yekaterina Klimova. The couple met on the set of the film "Wolf Sun". Katya was then going through a difficult moment of breaking up with Igor Petrenko. At the beginning of the novel, Gela did not believe that the star would reciprocate, but persistently argued how much he cares about her. The fact that Klimova is a mother of many children and is 8 years older did not push the man away. After the third marriage proposal, Catherine agreed to become the wife of Meskhi.

In June 2015, the actors played a wedding, and in October a daughter was born, who was named Bella. The name was chosen by a happy dad, who wanted it to soundly combine with a middle name.

Meskhi accepted the eldest children of his wife as family. He was ready to support Lisa in choosing a profession: the girl was thinking of following in the footsteps of her parents. Gela developed friendly relations with Matvey and Korney, he worried about the boys, tried to be an attentive listener and a kind adviser. The artist's "Instagram" testified to the harmony in the family. Now there are only photos of Bella, backstages from the set, advertising posters.

The couple broke up in 2019. But even before the corresponding stamps appeared in their passports, Gela had to constantly refute rumors of a divorce. He considered the union with Katya and the birth of a daughter to be his main achievements, dreamed of replenishment, said that professional success is no longer an end in itself.

Meskhi regretted only the discrepancy between the schedules and immediately added that in this situation it was possible to find a way out, to arrange surprises for each other.

The couple's fans blamed Gela for the destruction of the marriage. At first, the media wrote about an ambiguous publication on the actor's page on the social network. At the Moscow International Film Festival, Klimova and Meskhi were held in front of the audience separately and on different days, and behind the scenes the young man was accompanied by the daughter of an Arab businessman, Katrin Assi, who played the role of a flight attendant in the comedy Aircrew.

Katya filed an application with the court, and in 2020 she reassured the public by admitting that her ex-husband still helps her and it is too early to talk about a final break. The reasons for the divorce, the actress admitted, were her difficult character and Gela's desire to realize her own ambitions. The status of Klimova's husband is not enough for a man of his warehouse, so the couple decided to "take a break." Meskhi himself has not commented on anything since parting with Catherine.

Gela's creative biography began at the Moscow Art Theater School. Together with the university diploma, the actor received the first role, and what - the main one, Hamlet. Director Yuri Kara first watched the Shakespeare production in the educational theater. Then the Prince of Denmark was played by Odin Byron. However, starring in Hamlet. XXI century ”invited the inexperienced Meskhi. Dmitry Dyuzhev, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and Viktor Sukhorukov, who became a close friend, rendered invaluable help then. For this work Gela received a prize from the Amur Autumn Film and Theater Festival in Blagoveshchensk.

Soon the comedy "Adult daughter, or Test for ..." was released, in which the young actor appeared in the episode, and the main roles were played by Olesya Sudzilovskaya, Ilya Shakunov and Dmitry Maryanov. Viewers noted that Meskhi looks like a young Sergei Bezrukov. This comparison was later shown more than once. Gela told how a student copied the voice of the star of the "Brigade".

He also had a chance to work in the Moscow Provincial Theater headed by Bezrukov, together with Danila Ivanov and Polina Galkina to play in Cyrano de Bergerac. Meskhi left MGT when he could not combine performances with filming in the project by Renata Davletyarov “Donbass. Outskirts ".

Gela appeared on the stage of the Stanislavsky Electrotheatre in the productions of Seven Days Before the Flood, Valencian Mad Men, There Will Be No Trojan War, and Silence Is Gold.

As an incredible success, the actor recalled his collaboration with world celebrity Declan Donnellan in the play The Tempest. Meskhi and four other colleagues then selected from 500 candidates. The Russian won three Laurence Olivier awards with his willingness to play two central roles in Romeo and Juliet.

The artist was recognized by the image of Alex Weinstein, a high school student who has sympathy for the heroine Victoria Poltorak, in the series "Physics or Chemistry" by Ramil Sabitov. Suitable height (176 cm) and slender physique at that time allowed Gela to realistically portray a teenager.

Wolf Sun (2014)

In 2013, Meskhi played the main role in "The Son of the Father of Nations". The film about the fate of Vasily Stalin, a brilliant military man, the creator of sports teams of the USSR Air Force, after the death of Joseph Vissarionovich sentenced to imprisonment and died in prison, made him really popular. For the sake of the hero's credibility, the actor gained 10 kg. Vasily's son Alexander Burdonsky praised Gela for the accuracy of his father's character.

Director Sergei Ginzburg later invited him to star in a film called "Wolf Sun". Meskhi reincarnated as a scout, embedded in the rear of the enemy and on the territory of the enemy who met love. As a result, he begins to doubt whether he is doing the right thing by spying on loved ones. On this set, the artist learned to ride a horse.

In the sports drama Shot, Gela played the role of a biathlete striving for a gold medal in the Olympics, in the mystical series The Guardian, as a ghost guarding the investigator's wife. And with the melodrama "Everything is simple" he went to the festival "Window to Europe" and took part in the competition of directorial debuts at the international film screening in Sevastopol.

Gela Meskhi does not share her every step on Instagram and social networks. At some point, the actor completely deleted everything ...

In a desire to bring the truth to life, Meskhi himself invented a hairstyle, a demeanor for his character from the TV series "Bouncer" - a man who served 15 years in prison for another's crime. At school, the actor was engaged in Greco-Roman wrestling, and the former prisoner in the story is a sambist. For a couple of months of training, he mastered the techniques of a new sport. Gela's partners in the film are Anastasia Panina and Nadezhda Markina, the star of Andrei Zvyagintsev's drama Elena.

The painting "The Black Cat" is recognized as comparable to the cult serial film "The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed". The plot is based on real events and prototypes and is built around a gang, in the ranks of which there are entirely advanced Komsomol members and labor shock workers, some even presented to government awards.

It does not occur to law enforcement agencies to suspect exemplary citizens of anything. Meskhi played the leader of the criminal community. He dreamed of working with Yekaterina Guseva and Mikhail Boyarsky, and even getting into the skin of a scoundrel. In "Black Cat" such a chance presented itself.

In addition, Gela said, the show does not focus on scenes of violence, but on what prompts people to act negatively. For example, for his hero, the motive was the departure of his beloved girl performed by Maria Andreeva, and when money and power appear, it is not easy to turn off the curve.

In 2017, the artist unexpectedly quickly found himself approved for one of the roles in the military drama Sobibor, which was later nominated for an Oscar and awarded TEFI. Initially, Meskhi did not assume that Konstantin Khabensky would lead the process, and foreign cinema stars Christopher Lambert, Mikhalina Olshanskaya and Philip Reinhardt were invited to the main roles.

Arriving on the set in Vilnius and talking with the director, Gela realized that this was an unusual project. At the first meeting, Khabensky invited each performer to participate in developing the character of his hero. Before filming began, Meskhi was asked to lose weight. A lover of Georgian cuisine, rich in meat and flour, lost 6 kg. The release of the film was timed to coincide with the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Holocaust.

Another no less significant point in Gela's filmography is the spy series "The Embassy". The actor appeared on the screen as the secretary of the Russian diplomatic corps, who was involved in the drug trade. Igor Livanov, Victoria Tolstoganova, Vitaly Kishchenko are also involved in the project.

The script for the drama "To Save Leningrad" describes the event of the Second World War, from which the secrecy label was removed only in the 21st century. Meskhi's character, an NKVD officer, on the one hand, is cowardly, reveling in power, and on the other, a romantic, changing under the influence of feelings for a girl. The picture failed at the box office and was awarded an unflattering comparison with the blockbuster "Titanic". But Gela believes that any criticism is a sign that the film has hooked, and standing on a par with James Cameron is also recognition.

The comedy "Billion" is another gift of fate for Meskhi. The director, Roman Prygunov, approved his candidacy and Alexandra Bortich "by default". Working in Monaco and on the Cote d'Azur next to screen father Vladimir Mashkov, who has an amazing sense of humor, will be remembered for a lifetime. The role demanded new efforts from Gela - to learn to play the piano and operate an excavator.

Among the children of a businessman who plans to rob his own bank are the heroes of Grigory Kalinin and Pavel Chinarev. In the acting ensemble there was a place for the real oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov.

The already mentioned Donbass. Outskirts "- a tape about the beginning of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Gela played a militia who escapes shelling in the basement of a house. And there representatives of both sides are hiding, despite the differences that help each other to survive. This film, the actor admitted, is not for the sake of the political conjuncture, but a way to show what is really important for people.

The picture was filmed in Crimea, but Meskhi did not even think that for this reason he could be denied entry to Ukraine. At the border, they even gathered a "consultation" and, fortunately, were allowed to pass. So he calmly went to Kharkov, to his wife.

The plot of the drama "Not a Step Back!" echoes the famous film "The Dawns Here Are Quiet": the same idea that the war does not have a woman's face, the same strong, girlish shoulders that did not break under the weight of hardship. The main role was given to Valentina Popova, a student of the Shchukin school. Her heroine is eager to take revenge on the Nazis for the death of her family.

Gela embodied the image of a stern commander of a reconnaissance company, whose good motives prevent the girl from realizing her plan. Against the background of training sessions for saboteurs and partisan operations, a love story of young people unfolds.

The actor noticed that he likes to act in military films about the past more than those that tell about the present.

Meskhi is a supporter of the ideas that united the peoples of the Soviet Union, and sometimes regrets that there is nothing of the kind. He is ready to join the party and ask for money from officials, if it is necessary for the implementation of a patriotic project.

At the beginning of 2020, Renat Davletyarov began work on the film "Pilot". The prototypes of the characters were the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, including Alexei Maresyev. In addition to Gela, Petr Fedorov, Elena Drobysheva, Anna Peskova are involved in the filming. The producer hoped to present the picture to the audience at the end of the year.
