They say that you do not have time to eat often on the set of the show.
We are deprived of dinners for bad doubles. Joke. In fact, sometimes there is time for a lunch break, but you get so tired that you have to choose what to spend: for lunch or for sleep. It happens that one hour you have time to rest and you can work further. And then during the next breaks - and a snack.
Well, are you used to serial work? Or do you want to switch to a full-length film, a completely different rhythm?
In "full meters" now do not call. We'll see what happens next, although after the sketch-com "Sasha + Masha" was also not invited ... But let the directors who do not call it survive, this is their problem, not mine. I, then, will have something different.
Sasha you still called?
Already Kostik. But "Sasha + Masha" is still shown on TV, and if earlier I shunned it, now I'm proud. In fact, apart from our sketch-com, there is not a single similar product on Russian TV that would have been on since its premiere.
In general, if we talk about the real name - George, Egor, Zhora, he's Goga. He's Gosha. Do you like it more?
Officially - George, and I really like that name. And at home or in less stressful surroundings - Egor. There is no Zhora or Gosha. Yes, Gosha Kutsenko will not be offended. He really Yura.
When you think about your childhood, what comes first in your head?
Oh, the cottage. I immediately remember her and my grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Another childhood friend Vanya Kolchenko and his sister Dasha. Pines, old house, sand, pond.
Did you spend a lot of time there?
Yes, I was taken there for the whole summer. These are the most vivid memories. It was very nice there. I'm generally a sunny person, I do not like winter and I'm terribly bored by the sun. Probably because I Aries is a fire sign. I like water only on a large scale: sea, ocean, bath, bath ...
People are divided into those who loved school, and who hated it. What can you relate to?
I did not like. In general, to be honest, adolescence was a difficult period for me. He studied well, did not hooliganize, grew up as a home child, refined - even in some way a mama's son. I could not stand the kindergarten, and this feeling was transformed into a hatred of the school. I was uncomfortable in the team. Although I'm pretty sociable, but under the protection of the parent's wing I've always felt better. In different sports camps I was very bored without my mother and father. Therefore, in the period of the formation of personality, I had difficulties. Boys in the process of growing up begin to struggle for leadership, develop certain qualities, which, in the final analysis, make them men. Of course, I also went through some teenage aggression - anyone has such a hyperactive period when he gets into fights, defiantly dresses, loves screaming rock bands ...
Let's return again to the conversation about the work of actor Georgy Dronov, whose biography is known to all his fans. It is known that for actresses the role of Juliet is a dream. Could you say the same thing about male actors and the role of Romeo, whom you played at the Theater in the Southwest?
Of course. I must say that such roles are associated with age. And I managed to play Romeo at the age of 27. True, in this performance he replaced an actor who was much older. But I am grateful to the director of the theater, Valery Belyakovych, for giving me the opportunity to make it. I can say that even now I have a dream role, also an age. This is Khlestakov. I think that I am in the right form for this psychophysical form. But a little bit more - and it will be too late. So, if someone offers me, I will be glad. Moreover, I love Gogol very much.
You starred in Nikita Mikhalkov in an episodic role in "Burnt by the Sun," and after the "Siberian barber" you should have the opportunity to choose.
That did not happen. More precisely, there was one attempt. After the Barber, I quickly received an offer to take part in the casting, but behaved diplomatically not very correctly then. In general, I believe that in my life there were two cases in which I committed acts dictated by my own, humane principles, and from the outside they were perceived quite differently. One is associated with theft. I was accused of being stolen, but I did not do it. The second is just the choice of the role. I read the text and realized that the role of the character suggested to me is much more age-related.
And he thought that the director is offering everyone to understand how the actor originally refers to the material. I thought that the main role would suit me more. And in an interview with the director he said that the one he gives me is intended for an older person. Moreover, I even knew an actor who would have coped with it perfectly. Then the director asked: "And you would, what role did you want?" I answered: "The main thing." Then this is my objectivity and let me down. And why be silent? We must speak frankly with the director. But he probably took it as a star fever, a fanfare.
Can you become yourself a producer?
No. Many people achieve success by any means, walk on their heads. And for me the principle "all means are good" is unacceptable. I decided that I would act differently: every job is done to become a guarantor of quality. You see, if we made a bad Sasha + Masha sketch, then it would not be shown to this day. People often say to me: "Are not you tired of when you are called Sasha?" And how can the work that led me from unknown actors to the rank of media work get bored?
There was a time when you quit acting and left to work in a car dealership ...
Right. I then left the Theater in the Southwest. And my friend, the owner of the car dealership, said: "What are you going to sit without work? Go now to me. " I went. The money had to be earned somehow.
What kind of sensations does a person feel, who was on the stage yesterday, and now sells the car?
Well, what were the feelings of Brad Pitt, when he advertised a diner in a chicken suit at the very beginning of his career?
Everything depends on optimism. After all, someone will think: an excellent profession, stable, why do I need this movie?
That's how a huge number of people from our profession and gone. As for me, I experienced inwardly. The fact is that the acting profession is associated with emotions. As soon as the exit for them is closed, they begin to bubble inside. Therefore - yes, there were failures. But, if you know how to control yourself, everything will be easier. I then knew for sure that this period of my life is temporary. There was no sense of hopelessness - that here, they say, I got into the quagmire and now I will not get out of it.
What kind of life are you in?
I behave according to my mood. Sometimes I want to lie with the newspaper in front of the TV, although I'm a little fan, that's called, down.
In general, I now began to understand that you do not need to pay attention to some fatigue. After all, that's how life can go. I sometimes think that, by distributing forces on the Voronin project, I make plans for a year ahead. That is, in my thoughts this year has already lived, but it has just begun. But monotony should not be, so I try to make the most of free time for walking, sports ...
