The famous singer, actor, showman, producer is loved by millions of viewers in Russia and abroad.

Childhood and youth

Alexander Tsekalo is a native of Kiev. He was born into a friendly family of engineers. He studied at a school with in-depth study of the English language, in addition, he studied music (piano), participated in amateur performances. The desire to be an actor manifested itself very early. As a child, Alexander wrote a song with a cosmopolitan content - "Dove of Peace". Later he created the ONO group, whose repertoire consisted of compositions by the Beatles, Slade and other groups. Sasha also took part in school theater productions with pleasure.

Start in employment

After graduating from school, Alexander Tsekalo enters the Leningrad Technological Institute at the correspondence department. He graduated as an external student, at that time he worked in a chemical laboratory, then as a fitter, and even later - as a stage fitter, lighting engineer at the Variety Theater in Kyiv. Creates a quartet "Hat" and receives an invitation to enter the circus variety school. Together with the quartet enters the second course. After graduating from it, the team goes to work at the Odessa Philharmonic.

1900in 1986, Alexander created the Academy cabaret duet with Lolita Milyavskaya, which became one of the most popular musical groups in the 1990s.

Trip to Moscow

In 1988, Alexander Tsekalo and his wife Lolita Milyavskaya went to Moscow in search of happiness. Relatives and friends discouraged them from going. Sasha was twenty-seven years old, and at that age it is already quite difficult to conquer the capital. As expected, Moscow did not open its arms to an unknown married couple.

Television

The assertiveness and determination of Alexander and Lolita allowed them to be on television. Sasha constantly came to the music editorial office and asked to see his work - songs, scripts. And with the same constancy he was refused. It is not known how their fate would have developed in the future if it had not been for a meeting with music editor Vladimir Tsukanov, who agreed to watch the script for "Morning Post" written by Alexander.

When the program, beloved by millions, led by Nikolaev, Tsekalo and Milyavskaya, came out, the leadership turned out to be quite an experiment. So there were new original presenters. By the way, Alexander and Lolita did not plan such a development of events. Cooperation with Lolita, as well as their family life, ended when Alexander was thirty-nine years old.

Theatrical life

Alexander Tsekalo was never afraid of experiments. He gladly accepted Evgeny's invitation. Grishkovets for a role in the play “Po Po” at the Quartet I Theater. Sasha played the role of a candidate for governor. The image turned out very natural.

Cinema

Alexander's first experience in this area took place during the dubbing of the documentary “Monologues. Private Chronicles. After this work, filmmakers paid attention to him. Tsekalo was proud that his work was recognized. True, he never aspired to work in the cinema, believing that this occupation was not for him. But when Tigran Teosayan offered to star in the film Silver Lily of the Valley, he could not resist. Alexander Tsekalo worked with great pleasure in this film with a powerful cast and a talented director and wrote two songs for it.

Tsekalo is often asked if he wants to create his own studio. Alexander replies that for this you need to have significant financial resources, which at the moment he does not have. He considers himself a good manager who knows all the production from filming to editing.

Big difference

This is one of the most popular projects created by producer Tsekalo. The funny and witty show first appeared on screens on January 1, 2008. No one could have imagined that she would live so long.

Despite the fact that the program is made by a team of like-minded people, disagreements within the team are not ruled out in the process. In many ways, the reason for this is the not very simple character that Alexander Tsekalo possesses. Nonna Grishaeva, IvanUrgant and several other bright actors left the project recently. Actors are rumored to be unhappy about being paid for their hard work.

Private life

The now successful producer, presenter, showman speaks very reluctantly on this topic. He himself considers himself a difficult person with whom it is difficult in the family. In his opinion, a woman should not be perfect. The main quality of a wife for him is the ability to understand and endure.

Alexander Tsekalo, whose height is only one hundred and sixty-three centimeters, has always been very attractive to women. He has an amazing charm, a great innate sense of humor, the ability and desire to please. Alexander loves his daughter Eva very much (from his first marriage), whom he can see at any time, no one interferes with him.

Officially, Tsekalo was married three times. His first chosen one is Alena Shiferman. Their marriage was concluded when Alexander organized the Hat group in Kyiv.

The second marriage is known throughout the country. It was a creative and romantic union with Lolita Milyavskaya. In this marriage, a daughter, Eva, was born.

Alexander Tsekalo met his current wife in 2008. This is Victoria Galushka, the younger sister of Vera Brezhneva. The family brings up a son and a daughter.
