The childhood of the future actress passed near the Brest Fortress (that's why Elena Vorobey, Elena Elena Lebenbaum, jokingly calls herself a "serf hooligan"). And indeed, courtyard games, trees, fences are her main memories. And school teachers became the first characters of her parodies. Classmates were delighted with how Lena portrayed the gait and voices of teachers.
The girl dreamed of being a clown: her family constantly heard jokes, anecdotes, rallies were arranged. So far, any situation the Sparrow tries to solve with the help of a joke (according to the actress, she inherited a sense of humor from her father). However, Lena's parents did not take the girl's interest in clowning seriously. They wanted the girl to become a music teacher, and transferred her to a music school. Then Elena first visited Leningrad and decided to enter the local theater institute.
However, at the entrance exams the commission unanimously declared: "She does not sing and will not sing any more!" After these words, Lena seriously started to sing, and now the entire country knows it as a singing actress of a parody genre. Elena explains her passion for singing simply: "I always aspired become a serious dramatic actress, and teachers said that the best thing is to laugh at comic numbers. But even if a person is given something from above, you need to trim your gift! After all, if I had not become an actress, I would have been deeply unhappy! "
By the way, Lena's career helped to make persistence. As she tried to calculate, after how many years you can become popular. Seven have turned up. It was after seven years of long plowing and working on a sparrow that she finally felt the return.
Life on stage
Speeches oblige the actress to monitor the figure. From the side it seems that Elena has a physique that does not need diets. But according to an unequivocal admission, Sparrow struggles with excess weight all his life. Earlier, when I visited my parents in Brest, I first asked them: "I lost weight?" Dad answered honestly: "No", and Lena did not eat anything at all. And my mother insinuated her father in secret: "Why could not you say that Lenka has lost weight? There, the child is starving now. "
Over time, Lena realized that in order to keep herself toned, she did not need to starve or adhere to exclusive diets. Everything is simpler: less fat and no fast food! Now the actress tries to do without sugar, only with salt she can not part yet, although she dreams about it for a long time.
Unloading
Lena often arranges unloading days. For example, in the autumn they eat whole watermelons all day long. "Watermelons are just a storehouse of useful substances," the artist explains her choice. - They contain glucose, fructose, sucrose - easily digestible sugars, as well as pectin vitamins: folic and ascorbic acids, carotene. There are a lot of minerals here: potassium, magnesium, iron, manganese. All these substances are necessary for humans. It's important to start buying watermelons not before August. And by the way, it is better to first buy a nitrate meter to measure the level of harmful substances in the berry. If the nitrates are normal, you can buy a watermelon with peace of mind and eat it with your family, without fear of consequences. "
Well, the main help in the care of yourself for Elena - this scene. "I have a subscription to the gym," says Sparrow. "Somewhere in the house ..."
But while the form is supported by the performances. I'm warming up with a live concert and singing about forty minutes, it's important for the ligaments. Then there's the concert. Total 2 hours 40 minutes of pure sports! And sometimes I get wrapped in a food tape for the time of the performance, and it turns out to be a nearly-salsa procedure. But the main thing for the figure is to keep from going to the restaurant after the concert. "
Elena has long ceased to exist, there is after 18:00, while slightly limiting themselves to eating. Once the actress already overdid the sodites: she ate only apples and carrots - and almost lost her teeth because of the lack of a diet of vitamins and trace elements.
The only thing that the Sparrow can not replace the scene, is the family. "While I'm not at home, Sonya, my daughter, is sitting with my grandmother and grandfather," Elena says. - I believe that no one will be closer to the child, than the natural people. Nanny in this case is not an option. We had difficult moments, lack of understanding and jealousy on the part of our daughter, but after growing up, Sonya saw that mother provides not only the whole family, but also the creative team, and realized that this is difficult. Now she changed her point of view and lets me go on a trip. "
"Consider that I am a cat!"
"When Boris Moiseyev suffered a stroke, many artists thought about the need to find time for rest. In order to calm down and recover, many, including myself, go to church. Now, when a couple of days off falls, I learn to rest, I learn how to switch off the phone. This is perhaps the most difficult step for the artist, because we live with the phone, sleep with the phone ... "
Favorite vacation spot of Elena - Montenegro. And in a warm season the Sparrow likes to go fishing. Once the actress caught 25 kg of carp and did not know where to put them. As a result, I gave it to all my friends. Said: if anything, call naukha. It's no wonder that the favorite dish of the star is fish, especially stuffed. "I once had a long tour," recalls Lena. - And in a couple of weeks in one of the cities I wanted a simple homemade meal. Organizers constantly brought trout and salmon, which I could not already look at! And I asked for a letter. The organizers were discouraged: "This is a fish for cats!" To which I replied: "Consider that I am a cat!" They asked again if this was a joke, and then roasted me a fish with carrots and onions. When I began to absorb this, a few cooked and watched in amazement as the pop star eats roasted pollock. "
In addition to fishing, in Elena's life there is another hobby - in the last few years she has been collecting the figures of sparrows and dogs: "I do not count them, they are everything to me as relatives. But I think the figures are already around thirty. The first sparrow appeared for a long time, but I quickly realized that statuettes with these birds - a rare thing. And now during a tour of Ukraine in one shop found a porcelain dish with the image of a family of sparrows. Already gathered to buy, when suddenly a glance fell on a charming dog - the extraordinary beauty of a porcelain spaniel. The owner of the salon recognized me and immediately approached me with the question: "Lenochka, do you like dogs? Then take this sculpture! "" I love dogs, but I collect only sparrows ", - I answered, nodding to the plate. And then the owner offered me a fantastic deal, in my opinion: if I take a spaniel, he gives me gifts! And I realized: we must agree. Since then I have been collecting figures for dogs. "
But the main recipe for Elena's emotional rest is not to get hung up on failure. Do not groom and cherish your bad mood. It's better to pretend that nothing has happened, and go on with your head held high!
