Mike Myers

Actor Mike Myers gained worldwide fame after the release of the Austin Powers trilogy on the big screens. As a child, a purposeful man dreamed of becoming a doctor, but fate made its own adjustments, thanks to which a new star lit up in the cinematic firmament.

On May 25, 1963, former British Army chef Eric Myers and his wife Alice had a son, who was named Mike. The family lived in the town of Scarborough (Ontario, Canada).

Despite the fact that Mike is not the only child in the family (there are older brothers Paul and Peter), the future actor was not left to himself. Parents were vigilant to ensure that each of the three children did not loiter around. Myers began his acting career when he was only eight years old: he starred in commercial ads and managed to light up commercials for Pepsi, Kit Kat chocolates and even Datsun cars.

After graduating from high school, the aspiring actor went to Chicago, where for a couple of months he was engaged in comedy performances in the Second City group. In 1985, Mike moved to the UK, where, together with like-minded people, he founded the Comedy Store Players comedy ensemble. A year later, the actor returned to Canada, where he continued to perform with Second City, first in Toronto and then in Chicago. By the beginning of the 90s, he had a number of memorable appearances on local television and participation in various media projects.

From 1989 to 1995, Mike Myers was a participant in the show, aired on NBC. On Saturday Night Live, he portrayed a character named Wayne Campbell. In 1992, Myers teamed up with fellow television star Dana Carvey to adapt a series of famous themed sketches from the show into the feature film Wayne's World. A year later, the sequel, Wayne's World 2, was released. At the same time, another successful film with the participation of the actor "I Married a Murderer with an Ax" saw the light, for which Myers received a fee of two million dollars.

In 1997, Austin Powers: An International Mystery Man was released on the big screens. In the comedy spy thriller, Mike played two roles - Agent Austin Powers and Doctor Evil. The film performed well at the box office and grossed seventy million dollars (from an original budget of 20 million).

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Seduced Me came out two years later. In addition to the main antagonist and protagonist of the picture, Myers played the role of a hero named Fat Bastard. It is worth noting that the actor, whose height is 173 cm and weighs 80 kg, did not have to put on weight for this role: the film used an overhead body that Mike wore for several hours a day. Before the release of Austin Powers-2, Myers also managed to play his first non-comedic role in Studio 54 (1998), where he tried on the image of the owner of a popular New York club.

Later, the actor played another famous role: Mike voiced the ogre Shrek in the cult animated film of the same name. It is reliably known that initially Shrek was supposed to be dubbed by Chris Farley, but due to the fact that the actor died suddenly, the creators attracted Myers to the work. He rewarded his character with a deliberate Scottish accent, thereby emphasizing his roughness and uncouthness.

In 2002, the premiere of the third part of the comedy spy film "Austin Powers: Goldmember", where singer Beyoncé became Mike's colleague on the set. For this role, Myers received a record $ 25 million in his career. The third installment grossed nearly $ 300 million.

In 2003, the actor finished work on the American film Nobody Knows Anything. The next was a children's film with Bo Welch's sparkling humor "Cat". Alec Baldwin, Dakota Fanning and Spencer Breslin also appeared in the adventure film. Later, the scoring of the sequels "Shrek" followed: "Shrek-2" (2004), "Shrek the Third" (2007) and "Shrek Forever" (2010).

In 2007, Mike was honored with the MTV Generation Award for Generation Recognition. He became the second Canadian after Jim Carrey to receive such an award. In addition to this award, in 1998 Myers received awards for best dance episode and best villain in Austin Powers, in 2000 - for best screen duet and again for best villain (Austin Powers - 2). And finally, for the third film about a spy, the actor was awarded the prize for the best comedic role.

In 2009, the audience liked the film Inglourious Basterds by Quentin Tarantino, where, in addition to Myers, Brad Pitt, Eli Roth, Christoph Waltz and Melanie Lauren played. A year later, Mike announced himself in the comedy "The Secret Life of Walter Mitya" directed by Norman Z. McLeod. In 2009, Mike Myers received a Golden Raspberry anti-award for Worst Actor in Sex Guru.

It is worth noting that the actor's biography has a couple of years of inactivity in his career, which is why there are not so many roles in Mike's track record for a twenty-year career. The actor himself explained this by the fact that in his presentation, in order to show the world a worthwhile product, it is necessary to rest for at least three years before each new work.

The eminent art worker never spoke about his personal life. The actor was officially married twice, but there is very little information on the Web regarding his relationship with the fairer sex.

Mike met his first wife, Robin Ruzanna, on the set of the film Wayne's World. Young people legalized their relationship in 1993. With a woman, whom the actor repeatedly called his muse, he lived for 15 years and divorced in 2008. The reasons for the divorce were not advertised anywhere, but the fans suggested that the discord in the couple was due to the fact that Ruzanna could not get pregnant for the last five years of their married life.

In 2010, at a secret ceremony, Myers tied the knot with the owner of the cafe chain Kelly Tisdale, whom he had met for 3 years. In September 2011, they had a son, Spike, in April 2014, a daughter, Sunday, and in November 2015, baby Pauline Kathleen.

In an interview, Mike admitted that fatherhood is the best thing that happened to him in life. Myers recalls that after the birth of his first child, he felt lost. Then the screenwriter could not get used to the idea that he became a father. Adam Sandler - a longtime friend of the producer - brought him back to reality.

The actor of the film "Click: with a remote control for life" said that having a child is comparable to first love: you are overwhelmed by a warm, hitherto unfamiliar feeling that you cannot describe in words and which partly scares you. You don't need to run away from him. Over time, you realize that children are the greatest happiness on Earth.

Few people know, but Myers is an avid hockey fan (all three of Michael's dogs are named after his favorite hockey players). The actor plans to send his sons to this section.

It is reliably known that the eminent actor is not on Instagram or Twitter. Fans learn about the latest news from the life of the master of transformation from interviews that are periodically published both on news portals and in print media.
