The boy's childhood passed behind the curtains of various theaters in which his parents performed. Together with his mother, the son went on film expeditions, where they visited his father. The 5-year-old child was greatly impressed by a trip to the Carpathians, where Bogdan Stupka starred in the film "White Bird with a Black Mark".

From an early age, Ostap was interested in the acting profession, and most of all he liked makeup. Unbeknownst to his parents, young Stupka painted himself in Spartacus or another ancient hero, drawing scars and wrinkles, and then improvised, composing dance and action on the go.

The first appearance on the big stage also happened at an early age. When the Lviv theater came on tour to Odessa, Ostap Stupka, along with the children of other artists, portrayed animals in the ballet Creation of the World. The boy also developed a taste for music by learning to play the cello. Stupka himself recalls that he did not like these lessons too much, but obeyed the demand of his grandfather, who took him to a music school.

When Ostap was 12 years old, the family moved to Kiev, where the teenager finally decided on the choice of a profession and began to study in a theatrical circle under the direction of Alexei Kuzhelny. The team was even invited to participate in children's television programs.

After school, Ostap entered the Karpenko-Kary Kiev State Theater Institute, where until 1988 he studied at the course of Boris Stavitsky. After graduating from high school, he got a job in the experimental theater "Kin", but worked there for 2 months. A year later, Stupka became an artist of the Ivan Franko Drama Theater, where in subsequent years he was involved in 35 performances.

Ostap Bogdanovich Stupka's film debut was Stanislav Klimenko's melodramatic comedy "The Grooms".

Dmitry's parents' marriage did not last long. Tatyana Stupka after her divorce from Ostap devoted herself to raising her son. The woman left the theater, got a job in a store, then worked as a waitress.

Ostap's second wife was fashion designer Irina, whom he met at one of the actors' parties, where the girl was invited by her sister, actress Oksana Batko.
