The screen image is often deceptive and far from the real character of the actor. And yet, to assume that a gentle romantic "homeless" Guzeeva such a strong nature, it is quite difficult. This woman amazes with her confidence and purposefulness. Larissa - just Scarlett O'Hara of today: strong, not afraid of life, able to fight for her happiness, loving herself. But these traits are quite understandable: she is a Urals Cossack, who grew up in the severe Orenburg region.
They say that during the student years Viktor Laura was overwhelmed by the beauty of Lara, and with an equally famous musician Sergei Kuryokhin she had an ardent romance. At 23, along with superstars of Soviet cinema, Larissa starred in her starring role at Eldar Ryazanov. "Cruel romance" so, apparently, will remain the main picture in her life, although she played in many others. However, Guzeeva is not only an actress. She is a happy woman, adoring her husband and two children. Larissa, you, of course, are independent, but at the beginning of the journey, someone's support is very important. Did someone help you?
I made myself . Like that frog, trapped in a kryvka with milk: she beat, beat and beat up sour cream. And if I'm serious, I saw it, having seen the signs of fate that have signaled to me since my youth. I can not say that I had such a happy childhood. In my life this is a rather difficult period, connected with a lot of restrictions and prohibitions, fear of seniors, dependence on them. I could not stand the school, and resisted its dictatorship with all my strength. In the senior classes, she began wearing short skirts, heavily colored, smoked, expressed in obscenities. My mother worked as a teacher and, of course, she got it for my antics. But it was a youthful protest against the imposed norms. I was up to the tenth grade from the room when a movie with innocent kisses was on TV. Therefore, immediately after receiving the certificate, I fled from under the parental wing and drove away from home. Been coming off, probably in my student years? Still would. I agreed with the avant-garde party, hippo, often instead of lectures sent to the "Saigon", a fashionable St. Petersburg cafe where the rockers gathered. I always tried to dress fashionably. Already in the first year I worked part-time as a model, some of the outfits my mother sewed for me. Then I was friends with one fashionable artist, who came up with such a makeup and outfits, as now Gautier does. By the way, he too was gay. I wore long hair for a straight parting, put an Indian birthmark on my forehead and believed that only people like Lawrence Olivier and Richard Burton deserved me. You can not get the secrets of beauty from Larisa Guzeeva, she is able to keep her personal secrets.
What are our stars like, the same Mikhalkov, with whom you later portrayed the fatal passions in The Cruel Romance, did not suit you? After all, this is a serious luck that you and Ryazanov have with such partners.
You know , although I was a naive girl from faraway Siberia, but my head was in place, and who Nikita Mikhalkov was, I understood perfectly. I respect him very much. Mikhalkov - a celebrity, a real star, besides a married man - in my eyes he seemed unattainable. Moreover, I always thought that I already have enough fans. It seemed that all the peasants should fall at my feet and express their enthusiasm. As a partner Mikhalkov helped me a lot to play difficult scenes, because at my 23 years old I had never encountered such suffering and love tragedies. As for luck, I was lucky, of course, but only in that among the thousands of applicants Eldar Alexandrovich chose me. This is not the story when a girl is invited to act in films, accidentally seeing her on a trolleybus stop. I passed all the tests, like a lot of other candidates. I remember coming to the studio in torn hippy jeans, with colored nails, money in long hair. When I smoked a white-maroon, spit through my teeth. In general, my future heroine did not at all resemble. Ryazanov simply eyes rounded at my sight. But then I was washed, brushed, dressed, and the exterior changed completely.
Larissa, and it is not difficult for you to bear the burden of this role? After all, most of the audience with it associates you.
No, you . I am happy that I have such a star role, how many can boast of it? And what with the fact that my other films no one except me, really remember? All that I have, I earned only my profession. Perhaps, if I were complaisant and more accommodating, my creative destiny would have developed much more successfully. There were all kinds of encroachments. But I'm a Uralian pride and will not give anyone a run. Now I have the opportunity not to act in everything, but to choose, or even not to be removed at all. But I believe that only a working lady can love and respect, because she is independent. Your husband shares the opinion of the secrets of beauty from Larisa Guzeeva? Of course. Igor and I have known each other for many years. Acquainted more students, I was 18, he - 17, although they signed much later. I often went to see the performances in Moscow, where he lived. Of course, I saw that he was not indifferent to me, but at that age he even shared one year. Jokingly said, they say, if you like me - save money, boy. All these years, Igor was my true friend. I went through a very harsh life lesson with my first husband, who died from drugs, with great difficulty getting out. For several years I was tormented by the sense of guilt for his death, I used to put myself on a glass to drown out the pain. I do not even want to remember this hell. Since then I know that no love and no tragedy lasts forever, time heals all and returns to life. Judging by the fact that you still married Igor, he managed to save money ...
My husband is a successful person, restaurateur. Honestly, I never liked male actors. They were simply uninteresting to me because of their psychology. If a man by forty years could not earn enough to provide his wife and children decently, he is either a lazy or a fool. Such for me simply do not exist. Tell me, Larissa, does your son see his father, who now lives in Georgia?
Of course. George constantly maintains relations with his father, and with his paternal relatives. On a summer vacation, she goes to Tbilisi to visit her grandparents, who adore him. It's not my son's fault that my father and I did not have a relationship. And no one is to blame, we were just brought up in different traditions and imagined family life differently. As for such a component of it as cooking, you are probably spared from the work at the stove? In fact, I'm terrific cooking, about my culinary abilities in St. Petersburg, even legends composed. So my husband and I can compete, especially since I have the experience - I kept my restaurant. And about my kitchen, not only I have a high opinion, but also close ones, friends, colleagues. But it is one thing to create for guests and quite another - professionally. For me, the restaurant was absolutely independent business, the same as the theater, which I got carried away, unexpectedly for myself, having played in the entertaining performance "The Mousetrap." That's it. I played enough at the restaurant. Although I also cook brilliantly. Larissa, what kind of cuisine do you prefer?
Any. If only light and low-fat. A better home, to which I was taught by my mother.
Believe, strong tea , and I first tried coffee for twenty years. Absolutely do not eat fried, and not because it is harmful, but simply tasteless. I'm a soupoman in my life: I love soups. Any. But the saying "Once a day, soup should be in the stomach" I just hate. When I was at the institute, my mother called almost every day and repeated this phrase, which for a long time turned me away from the first dishes. However, the age was also disgusting: I wanted to do everything on the contrary. Mom, as always, was right: it's pointless to rely on cosmetics, on your face - just what you eat. Therefore now I adhere to a healthy way of life. I always and everywhere cooked myself, at the same time managed to make a mask of oatmeal or live fruit. And see what my skin color is!
You rarely meet a man who knows how to be so enthusiastic about himself so sincerely and convincingly.
That's for sure, I love myself too much. At me since the childhood such megalomania of greatness. I think I alone know how to live. Sometimes it hinders me, but, as it turned out, it periodically benefits. It's important how you do yourself. Here is an example. I started traveling abroad very early, even when there was a reinforced concrete curtain in our total deficit. Spain, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, France ... Per diem paid - five dollars, but lived in five-star hotels. And there every day - shampoos, soap, beautiful napkins ... And all this was carried with them, and then they gave. It was a wild deficit and exotic. But I forced myself not to take it. I decided: "I will not! Here I am - not fussy! "Friends in your life concept, what place do they occupy?
I have few friends - you can count on the fingers of one hand. Two friends in my whole life: Vera Glagoleva and Ira Konchalovskaya. But I'm sure in them: these people will not sell me exactly and will not offend me. Life has taught me so much. My husband and I have very few friends. We do not invite anyone into the house. And then, after all, we are always in public. So you need to rest at home.
Larissa, and your husband shares his culinary preferences?
In this sense Igor is my complete opposite: he likes fried, smoked, hot, pickled. But my mother and I gradually managed to teach him to moderate vegetarianism. I, for example, do not cook meat soups, exclusively vegetable. I am Rabelais: I love and I know how to eat. And in the family we did not have skinny! I love to have a lot of food, tasty and for the whole day. Well, then, as you rightly noted, the whole dinner appears on the face ...
Oh! After the second birth, I recovered to 38 kilograms! But I realized that with all the love of my husband to me, he could not stand such a body weight. Act quickly and radically: for the first three months dropped 15 kilograms. Then another 15. There are eight left. Therefore, when the friends ask how to lose weight, I invariably answer: "Miracles do not happen. There is only one reliable way - not to eat. " If you hamyachit daily a dozen oranges, polukuritsy, a few eggs, then the weight will not decrease, no matter how many swallow fat burners. For the sake of love is worth it. And for the sake of art, what sacrifices could you make?
Before my last theater project, I drank only green tea without sugar for twelve days and ate a couple of spoonfuls of oatmeal boiled in water without salt. I've never cooked so brilliantly as I did then. Mom called it masochism. And I just baldela: woke up, learned the text of the role and gave out three or four meals three times a day. But do not try anything! It was a kind of hysteria: I understood that at any moment I can get out of the strict rules of my own game, but then I will hate myself. In addition, for mom, children and Igor came up with a separate menu. Believe, all the burners plus the oven were occupied. Igor loves cutlets, can eat them immediately basin. And I made him meat and fish. And for her son came up with a children's option - with vegetables inside, which in its pure form it is difficult to cram. For the daughter - mashed soups with celery. And how does the spouse relate to your experiments? Igor - a professional chef, so it irritates everything that is done not by science. He freaks out at the sight of how I cut the bow, throwing vegetables out of order in the soup. First, he says: "I will not, eat, because you can not cook!" And when he tries, admires: "You are a genius!" He hates soups, but he eats. And how do you manage to do all this - and play, and cook, and children to do?
I try to cover everything, and my mother helps me. I lylyu in forty years gave birth, she is a late child. And George, according to our ideas, too late: at thirty-two. In the West, it does not surprise anyone, where women just at that age are children and give birth when they can give them much more than in their younger years. I was 20 years old myself was still a stupid child. On the appearance of the first child, I prayed to God for years. And my daughter became a pleasant surprise for us and her husband. Do the children look like you?
Lely has my eye color and an oval face, and so, I think, she's more like her father's daughter. And George looks like me. One misfortune - he does not want to study, you can not read, he is sitting by the computer. I try to convince him: "George, my mother, too, could not stand school. But it must be passed. You're not a janitor. You must definitely get an education. "
But he still wants only entertainment. My daughter is 10 years old, and my son is 17. Now his character is breaking. I think that the age of transition is like a climax. It is noticeable among nonintelligent people who do not know how to behave in their hands. If a person is brought up, even hormonal storms can easily survive. Although sometimes, of course, quarrels do happen. But do you indulge you at home with such pleasant things as coffee in bed?
And what about both husband and son. But I spend all my free time at the stove, preparing for the family. I had an au pair, but my husband said that we have two women in the house, they say, be kind enough to cook yourself. And he added: "If you do not miss a job and a house - do not work." So we do everything ourselves. And at the same time I do not leave the profession, no matter how much my husband offers. I always got used to hoping for myself. Larissa, do you keep your recipes as a military secret or can you extradite if you ask?
I issue it . Here's a dessert for three kopecks and two minutes, which you can impress the imagination of your friends, as if preparing two days and two nights. Put a butter on the frying pan with a non-stick bottom (and only creamy). Cut the ripe banana along and on a high fire fry from two sides to brown crust, each side previously sprinkled with sugar - the effect of caramel is obtained. Then sprinkle with grated chocolate on top, pour a spoonful of rum, set it on and put it in the pan with "hip-gip hurray!". Deliciously tasty and beautiful. My family can enjoy this exotic every day. And we make such bread ourselves! This dish was taught to me by the Baltic actress Grazhina Baikishtite. We buy Borodinsky, cut it and fry it in vegetable oil with Vegeta seasoning. When the bread a little cooled and hardened, rub it with garlic on both sides. You can serve any salad or soup. It is interesting that such a sophisticated person chooses himself in restaurants, or you do not go to strangers anymore? Why, I go. But if I visit a cafe or restaurant, I never take complicated dishes: if meat is a piece, if the fish is whole. This has long been the case. For me it is better to eat half a loaf of bread with mustard than it is unknown what.
