Ivan Zhidkov

Ivan Zhidkov is an actor of Russian cinema, known for his roles in war films and melodramas. As an actor of "Tabakerka" and the Moscow Art Theater, he received praise from the maestro Oleg Tabakov, who considered him one of the most promising young artists.

Among Ivan's popular projects are the paintings "The Storm Gates", "The Network", "The Smile of God, or Pure Odessa Story".

Ivan Zhidkov was born on August 28, 1983 in Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg). The boy went to a simple school and did not dream of theater or cinema. At the age of 9, he and his family moved to Kaliningrad. In the city on the shores of the Baltic Sea, Ivan spent 6 years with his family. In his youth, he did not attend drama circles and theater studios. And his family had no connections in the artistic environment. After the collapse of the USSR, my parents were engaged in business. Zhidkov's plans after graduation was to enter the Ural Polytechnic Institute.

But luck changed everything. A teenager with a good appearance was invited to star in a commercial for a computer store, and when it came time to decide, Vanya's father remembered this circumstance and recommended his son to try his hand at the theatrical field. So with a random role in a small advertisement, the creative biography of Ivan Zhidkov began.

After graduating from school in 2000, the guy took a chance and went to conquer the capital. True, before that he went to preparatory courses. I easily entered the Moscow Art Theater School on the course of Evgeny Kamenkovich. The guy from Sverdlovsk managed to bypass many competitors, although the competition at that time was huge. During his studies, Ivan Zhidkov was considered one of the most successful and promising students.

Even before graduating from the Moscow Art Theater School, in 2004, Oleg Tabakov drew attention to the young actor. Getting to know Zhidkov better, he soon took him to the famous "Snuffbox" and even considered one of the most talented novice actors, often comparing him to Sergei Bezrukov.

A theatrical debut took place on the Tabakerka stage: Zhidkov brilliantly played Peter in the play The Last. After successful work, Tabakov invited Ivan to the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater for the role of Dmitry in the play "Yu", which was followed by work in "Sunday Super", "Biloxi Blues", "Overstocked Barrel" and "White Guard". For the last role Zhidkov received his first award at the Moscow Debuts festival.

In 2007, Ivan Zhidkov left the theater for filming. Since then, he periodically participates in entrepreneurial performances, but does not plan to return to the repertory theater. Among the theatrical works, in which the actor later appeared, are the performances "Do not wake the sleeping dog", "Five evenings", "Territory of love" and others.

After leaving Tabakerka, Ivan remained warm and friendly with Oleg Tabakov. The master did not hide that he regretted the decision of the young actor, but the parting was good.

While still a student at the Moscow Art Theater, Zhidkov played his first film role. His debut film was the melodrama "In the Constellation of the Bull" directed by Pyotr Todorovsky. Unfortunately, despite the rave reviews from film critics, the film remained invaluable.

Soon Ivan played Max Vanyukhin in the serial drama "Children of Vanyukhin". Zhidkov starred in the stellar company of Alexei Serebryakov, Alena Babenko and Oleg Korchikov. The artist's work in the popular project "Soldiers" was a success, where he appeared in the 4th and 5th seasons.

Since 2008, Zhidkov has starred in bright popular films. Such "star films" were the series Thunderstorm Gates, the adventure film "Network", the melodrama "Kilometer Zero" (prize for the best supporting actor of the "Constellation-Tver" film festival), the comedy film "The Smile of God, or Pure Odessa Story "(Best Actor in 2009).

The film "Stormy Gates" is one of the main works in the filmography of Ivan Zhidkov. In this picture, the actor brilliantly played the role of private Konstantin Vetrov. The audience appreciated the guy's acting skills, saying that the positive hero, who became a symbol of the struggle of Russian soldiers in Chechnya, is his best character.

For his role in the film "Stormy Gates" Ivan Zhidkov was awarded the medal of the Ministry of Defense of Russia "For the unification of the military community." Representatives of the leadership of the military department in the media have repeatedly noted that such films can instill in soldiers the spirit of fighting for their land, as well as change the public's perception of the Chechen military campaigns.

In the early 2010s, Zhidkov continued his ascent to the top of the Russian cinema olymp, and series with his participation became popular among viewers. Most of them are melodramatic roles.

In 2012, the popular melodrama Night Violet was released, which became another showcase work by Zhidkov. The audience was also delighted with the play of the actress Natalia Rudova, who played the main role in the film. Soon, the artist's repertoire was replenished with the series "Give me Sunday", "Gulchatay. For the sake of love ”,“ Imprint of love ”, in each of which he revealed new facets in the image of a melodramatic hero.

2016 was a busy year in Ivan's creative career. The actor took part in the filming of 7 projects, in most of which he appeared in the lead roles. First of all, these are the films "Run!", "Express Business Trip", "My Revolution", "Another's Happiness". In the melodrama "I Never Cry" Zhidkov appears in the positive role of the hero Artyom, who helps Tina (Irina Tarannik) to cope with life's difficulties.

Zhidkov accidentally met his future wife Tatyana Arntgolts with friends. Tatiana was already a famous actress, and Ivan was a rising star of Russian cinema. When they got to know each other, they were surprised to find that they had lived in the neighborhood for 3 years. Dormitories of theatrical schools were located almost nearby.

At the end of 2008, Zhidkov and Arntgolts played a modest wedding, and in September 2009 they had a daughter, Masha. It would seem that the family is happy, and the joint films of celebrities are confirmation of this, but at the beginning of 2014, the couple broke up, the couple divorced. The divorce came as a clear surprise to many.

They tried to keep as little hype as possible around this event. I must say that Zhidkov's personal life never occupied the first pages of the yellow tabloids. The former spouses parted as friends, while Ivan did not renounce his paternal obligations.

Many Russian publications have repeatedly reported that shortly after the end of the divorce proceedings, the actor became close to the famous actress Ekaterina Semyonova. According to rumors, Catherine and Ivan then decided to resume the relationship that they had previously, but the romance did not last long.

Further, Lilia Solovieva became the new darling of Ivan. In March 2015, the actor presented his new love to the public. Ivan met 23-year-old student Lilia Solovieva while mastering the Periscope network. Soon, virtual communication grew into a romantic relationship. After his divorce from Arntgolts, he radically revised his views on relationships, marriage and family. Now in the life of a man, other priorities dominate.

In 2017, Lilia gave Ivan a son Stepan. But already in June 2018, Lilia Solovyova admitted that their couple was no longer there. According to the girl, there are such moments in life, but she is grateful to the chosen one for her son. Many fans linked the news of the couple's separation with uncooled feelings for Tatyana Arntgolts, to which the actor admitted not so long ago.

Nevertheless, already a month after a stormy showdown, the couple decided to start all over again. Lilia and her child moved to the apartments of the "Heart of the Capital" residential complex, which the actor recently acquired. The apartment is located on the 84th floor, with a picturesque view of the city and the Moscow River. Ivan chose housing not by chance: Tatyana Arntgolts and her daughter Masha live nearby. The father often takes the girl for family trips to cafes and restaurants. It seems that Ivan and Lilia made certain conclusions: Zhidkov's Instagram is full of joint photos of a couple with children, and the actor again confesses his love to his son's mother.

Over time, Ivan changed his approach not only to his personal life. He is actively involved in sports and is actually waging a kind of "battle for health".

Slender in his youth, Zhidkov, after 25 years, began to "blur": he could not cope with the changes in metabolism, ate and drank a lot. Extra pounds began to accumulate. By the age of 28, I realized the need for change. Ivan immediately identified his main enemy - alcohol. Drinking has often become an obstacle to a healthy lifestyle.

The inveterate smoker in the past said goodbye to tobacco back in 2006. He also stopped eating meat. The actor often shares his successes in sports on Instagram, publishing new photos.

Now the actor tours a lot with an entreprise. Zhidkov calls his favorite performance "Once Upon a Time", in which he plays with Glafira Tarkhanova. The plot is based on the play "The Bench" by Alexander Guelman. On stage, Ivan recreates the sneaky image of a gigolo, while his partner appears as a deceived woman who is desperately fighting for her own happiness.

Zhidkov does not forget about cinema either. In 2017, he delighted fans with two projects, in each of which he starred. In the melodrama "Two Wives" he played a typical loser, whom his wife Nastya (Elena Radevich) blindly loves. But one day the situation changes - Kostya becomes the owner of a multimillion-dollar fortune. Suddenly, the former passion of the hero Marina (Nastasya Samburskaya) appears on the horizon. The second film, the detective "The Night After Graduation", gave Zhidkov the opportunity to try himself in a negative role. The actor played the role of Mikhail, the murderer of a graduate girl.

In 2018, the filming of the film "Taboo", in which Ivan also starred, was completed. Now he is working on the detective project "Caspian 24", the medical drama "Lancet" and the melodrama "My dear one."
