A man speaks of himself as a person with a specific sense of humor and a developed imagination:

Matvey is interested in acting and directing, and is also attracted to producing. An ambitious young man declares that in every new business he would like to succeed, because his father taught him to work hard and be responsible for the result.

Matvey Lykov was born in St. Petersburg. His father, Alexander Lykov, is a popular Russian theater and film actor. Mother Alla Gospodenko had a theater education, but was engaged in housekeeping and raising children. Matvey has a 2-year-old sister, Ekaterina.

As a preschooler, Lykov Jr. first appeared before the lens of movie cameras. At the age of 5, the boy replenished the filmography with the image of the young son of King Henry II, when he starred with his father in the television play "Thomas Becket". A year later, he again appeared in a cameo role in the movie "Journey to Happy Arabia."

Matvey had no idea of ​​becoming an actor. When conversations about cinema or art in general came at home, he, unlike Katya, began to get bored, did not participate in the discussions, but preferred to watch the interlocutors.

In the 7th grade, Lykov asked that he and his sister be transferred to a specialized school with in-depth study of foreign languages. They pored over textbooks for days to catch up with their classmates who had been learning this science from the 1st grade. By the end of school, the young man was almost fluent in English and Spanish, sometimes even substituted for teachers. To continue studying languages, Lykov entered the Herzen State Pedagogical University in foreign language. At the same time, she works as a tutor for children, and also runs a business English course for adults.

After the 4th year of the university, Matvey travels to the United States on the Work & Travel student program. It implies that the visa holder is entitled to formal part-time employment. But a typo was made in the young man's documents, and the American social service refused to provide the guy with a qualified job. Left without funds, Lykov worked as a courier for several weeks, and then went in search of work at the New York modeling agency Fusion Model Management.

This event influenced the further biography of the young man. The agency was looking for a tall guy with a thin physique. Matvey came up to the required type - height 183 cm.

In an interview with the TV presenter on the show "Evening Urgant", the top model joked that if in childhood someone is called "bones" or "skeleton", then there is a chance to conquer the world of high fashion.

Over time, to continue his career, he had to go to the gym and build muscle. In food, Maxim, contrary to stereotypes, does not limit himself, because of the intense schedule he simply does not have time to eat. But he loves to cook, however, it is admitted that his wife turns out faster and tastier. And the Russian treats his friends to borsch with garlic.

At first, Lykov worked only at New York fashion shows, but later he began to appear on the catwalks in Milan, London, Paris and Tokyo. The lucky ticket was a 12-hour casting with Raf Simons, who served as creative director of Prada Group's Jil Sander. The young man was then nervous, worried that he was wasting time, while he would have had time for another dozen views. The director said that Matvey, of course, could leave, but if he be patient a little longer, his life would change.

Matvey's track record includes hundreds of fashion shows, in which he demonstrated clothes and accessories from Jil Sander, Gucci, H&M, Kenzo, Rag & Bone. It was also in demand as a photo model for advertising products of such manufacturers as DiorHomme and Lanvin, RafSimons and MarcbyMarcJacobs, Phillip Lim and Rad Hourani, Yigal Azrouël and many others. Now Matvey Lykov is considered one of the few male supermodels of Russian origin, one of the world's top 10 fashion models.

In addition, in 2013, Matvey accepted an invitation from musician and director Yoann Lemoine, performing under the pseudonym Woodkid, and starred in a video clip for his song “I Love You”. The cooperation turned out to be interesting and fruitful, so Lykov and Woodkid worked together again a year later on a video for a new composition "The Golden Age".

The acting game of a young man little-known at that time to the Russian public impressed the film director Timur Bekmambetov, who eventually invited Matvey Lykov to try himself as a professional film actor. In December 2015, the fantasy film "He is a Dragon" based on the novel "Ritual" by science fiction writers Sergei and Marina Dyachenko was released on the big screens. Lykov got the image of an unusual werewolf - a dragon man named Arman.

The initially negative character opens more and more on the romantic side as the film progresses. As Matvey noted:

Maria Poezzhaeva starred in the role of the dragon's prisoner, Princess Miroslava.

Alexander Lykov appreciated the work of his son. The chief Casanova of Russian cinema emphasized that Matvey conveyed, in fact, his own character - stubborn, funny, but tough.

After that, Lykov Jr. was invited to play in an episode of the film “Petersburg. Only for Love ”in the company of Yana Sexte, Renata Litvinova, Maxim Vitorgan and Anastasia Skorik. In parallel with filming the film, Matvey graduated from a directing course at the Paris International School of Film and Television. He connects his further professional life with the art of cinematography.

When Matvey Lykov lived in New York, he had admirers and a lot of fleeting novels. But after 3 years of living in America, the model moved to the French capital and since then has lived there permanently. In Paris, the guy met the model and fashion designer Jessica Sterenos. The girl has mixed Swedish and Peruvian roots, but she grew up in Spain. In 2013, Matvey and Jessica got engaged and soon got married.

Lykov, besides his native Russian, is fluent in English and Spanish, and also knows French and Italian well. The actor claims that due to the ability to quickly overcome the language barrier, Russians are gladly offered to work abroad. He himself was forced to become a polyglot - he has to communicate with colleagues on the catwalk, agents and designers around the clock.

At the beginning of 2019, Maxim shared with his Instagram subscribers an event from his personal life - his daughter Sienna was born in the family.
