The theme of our today's article is "The Biography of Actor Konstantin Khabensky."

Konstantin Khabensky was born on January 11, 1971 in Leningrad. In a family completely unrelated to the cinema. Father Khabensky worked as an engineer, and my mother taught mathematical sciences. In Leningrad, little Kostya went to the kindergarten. However, in the first school year the family moved to the circumpolar Nizhnevartovsk, where Kostya lived with his parents for several years. Four years later, the family of the Khabensky returned to their native Leningrad.

Even at school, Kostya had no thoughts about going along the creative path.

He only dreamed of quitting school. After graduating from the 8th grade, he entered the aviation technical school of instrument-making and automation. But, having studied several courses, after passing the next course work I realized that if in theory he understands something at all, then practically nothing can be done. It was this that influenced his decision to quit school. Khabensky realized that the technical specialty is not his true recognition, and that it is necessary to move absolutely in a different direction.

Later, Konstantin was able to work as a janitor, and even make a living playing on the street. The environment of Konstantin Khabensky at that time was very informal, surrounded by friends-musicians, theater-goers, in a word, creative people. One day, the "hangout" of Khabensky, and he included, went to the theater studio "Saturday". The leaders of the youth theater were looking for new, young talents, trying to develop a love for the children in the art of theater. Soon Kostya and one of his comrades somehow "nailed" to the theater studio. The future actor of Russian cinema worked as a montage in the theater, and later, as far as he could, he started to enter the theater stage. That's just not as the heroes of the productions, but the so-called "theater peas," the person who holds the scenery or stands for the background.

But gradually Konstantin Khabensky tightened into the theatrical atmosphere as a swamp. He was so filled with love for the theater that he decided to enter the Leningrad State Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography (LGITMiK). In 1990, he was in the workshop of V.M. Filshtinsky, who was always considered the best master of the acting school in the country.

Habensky's classmates were Mikhail Porechenkov, Mikhail Trukhin and Andrei Zibrov, it was in the institute years that their friendship was born, which continues to this day. "The Magnificent Four" at that time everywhere tried to be together.

Soon followed the first role in the cinema. In 1994, Khabensky played in the episode of the comedy "Whom God Will Send" directed by Vladimir Zaikin. However, with his debut, Constantine does not consider this role. Hardly glimpsed on the screens, Kostya, unfortunately, did not remember the audience.

But on theatrical stage at that time he had several major roles: Khabensky played Lomov in the production of Chekhov's Joke, several roles in the production of Vysotsky's Time, and Chebutykin in Chekhov's Three Sisters.

A year later, in 1995, after the end of LGITMiK, Constantine linked his creative life with the Experimental Theater called "Crossroads". However, he spent no more than a year there.

Along with his work on the stage, Khabensky was the leading music and information program on television.

After leaving the theater "Crossroads", Constantine moved to the Moscow Theater of Satire AI Raikin. Among the works of those years, the roles in the plays "The Threepenny Opera" and "Cyrano de Bergerac".

But the second appearance on the movie grounds was more successful. Literally only for 1998 Konstantin Khabensky starred in several films at once. In the detective melodrama of Hungarian director T. Thoth "Natasha", melodrama D. Meskhiev "Women's Property", as well as the social drama "Khrustalyov, the car!".

Two of these roles, the actor, in his own words, was absolutely random. But, it was thanks to them, the well-known Russian directors drew attention to Khabensky. And soon he already shone in a small role in the thriller "Fan", and then in one of the main roles in the melodrama "Home for the rich." It was for the last role that Khabensky received the prestigious award in the nomination "Best Male Role" at the prestigious Gatchina Film Festival "Literature and Cinema".

At the same time, his theatrical work continued. From the mid-nineties Konstantin Khabensky appeared on the stage of the Leningrad City Council, where he played a leading role in the play "Caligula".

Truly the first glory to the actor brought a role in the television series "Slaughter Force". Even now, when a lot of serials on militia themes appear on TV screens, many viewers remember Igor Plakhov performed by Konstantin Khabensky.

This role, according to the actor himself, went to him spontaneously. The series even started shooting, and the actor could not find the main role. Khabensky came to the auditions after the play, tired, without much desire, he just stood there listening and occasionally smiling. And then he heard: "We take it, it suits us, we will not try."

The actor even refused to act in the sequel, he was afraid that this one-sided image would stick to him. For a positive response to the proposal, Habensky was offered a double fee. Apparently, it was worth to return to the screens of the favorite of many TV viewers Igor Plakhov. So by chance, Khabensky managed to charm another part of the audience, in addition to the theatergoers and moviegoers - homebodies, amateur serials. Many write off the success of the image of Igor Plakhov with the harmoniously matched partner Vasya Rogov.

Later, Konstantin Khabensky explained in an interview that the proposal to star in the series was made to him at a time when he had nothing to spoil in the acting biography, and besides, "Slaughter Force" did so that only a lazy person could not recognize Khabensky in person . This is an easy success, a rapidly growing popularity. But once playing a role with a successful image, a type that everyone likes, most importantly - do not get tempted to move in this direction further. But this did not happen with Konstantin Khabensky, he, as they say, fell into the actor's "extreme", playing in 2000 a terrorist in the series "Empire under attack." Then a year later, in 2001, he appeared in Dmitry Meskhiev's film Mechanical Suite.

And in the debut film of Philip Jankowski "In Motion" Khabensky played the main role - a successful journalist, "a cheerful cynic with sad eyes." But the next picture, in which he starred in the title role, clearly did not leave anyone indifferent. In 2004, the first Russian action "Night Watch" appeared on the screens of cinemas, and later the "Day Watch", with a large-scale promotional campaign. Films, where Constantine played his one of the most famous roles, the main character of Anton Gorodetsky. The film had a lot of fans, as well as those who voiced a lot of criticism in their address.

The theatrical life of Konstantin Khabensky continued on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater, where he began to play with his friend Mikhail Porechenkov. By the way, both of them, Oleg Tabakov invited to the theater after having specially arrived in St. Petersburg, looked at the young actors on the stage.

Later, the actor starred in Jankowski in the State Councilor. And in 2006, the actor in the film based on Jerzy Stavinsky's novel "The Chas Peak." One of his last roles is the role of Kolchak in the film "Admiral" and the good Bones of Lukashin in the continuation of the legendary favorite by many generations of the film "The Irony of Fate".

Two years later, the actor happened to be shot in the same place with Ajelina Jolie in the film "Especially dangerous", where he played the role of "ex-terminator."

However, despite the fact that according to the scenario the heroes of Khabensky and Jolie are kissing, there was no sympathy between them, according to Kostya, only exclusively business relations.

"Kisses in the cinema are like a conveyor belt. The first take you prepare, you are afraid and worry. The second one - you already know exactly what is what, and the third "was answered by Khabensky to journalists and everyone who was interested, like this, to kiss the world-famous actress.

And, as it turned out, the intimate scene did not appear in the script. The kiss was not planned. Angelina Jolie made artificial respiration to Khabensky after he asked the director that in the scene where his lifeless body is trying to bring him to life, he was not given the first help of a man. So from the joke a juicy scene was born in the film, since Agelina said that she can make artificial respiration.

"Especially dangerous" is not the only film where Khabensky was able to play with foreign actresses. But not so long ago Constantine starred in the main role in the sensational film "Freaks" directed by Levan Gabriadze. His film partner on the film was an actress with a worldwide reputation, Mila Jovovich.

But just a year later, on December 1, 2008, Anastasia Khabenskaya, at the age of 34, died of brain cancer in Los Angeles. Anastasia was buried in Moscow. And Konstantin Khabensky not only lost his beloved wife, but also remained with a one-year-old child in his arms.

Vanya was taken to her mother-in-law, and Constantine experienced a loss in solitude. And only after a few years Constantine began to appear in public with women, and perhaps in his life that same one will soon reappear.
