This handsome young face is flashing on the movie screens more and more often now, this talented, ambitious guy is well known to theatergoers in Moscow. So it's time for us to get to know him better. So, Grigory Dobrygin.

Some biography

Our hero was born on February 17, 1986 in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. According to the horoscope - Aquarius. At the age of six, the boy and his family moved to Zelenograd, and after elementary school, the parents send their son to the Academy of Choreography (MGAH) at the Bolshoi Theater. Then the future actor looks for himself for two years (as he will say later in an interview) - he studies in a Protestant seminary. But later Grigory decides: his confession is cinema. For some time, Grigory Dobrygin attended classes in the workshop of K. Serebrennikov (Moscow Art Theater School), but then he left and studied at GITIS for 4 years (in the workshop of O. Kudryashov). Later, Dobrygin returns to the same studio to become a director.

A little bit personal

Celebrity fans are often interested in their personal lives. Information on the Internet about thisthere is not very much about Gregory, and, probably, this is correct: famous people should also have their own space, where outsiders cannot enter. But from time to time, Gregory is seen with new companions, also actresses, whom rumor considers to be his girls. Dobrygin was credited with an affair with the beautiful Ravshana Kurkova, but then the Bond girl, Olga Kurylenko, began to be called the actor's girlfriend. At the Cannes Film Festival in 2010, the actor was seen in close company with Lisa Boyarskaya, with whom they flew together from St. Petersburg. The picture, where this luxurious couple photographs each other using mobile phones, will later be called by the press: “Grigory Dobrygin and his girlfriend.”

The actor himself does not like to turn his soul inside out, and little is known about the latest events in his personal life.

Black Lightning

And yet - what kind of artist is this, Grigory Dobrygin? The filmography of the young talent is not too great yet, but the roles he played are quite noticeable. They really started talking about Dobrygin in 2009, after the appearance on the screens of the Russian superhero film Black Lightning. The film was directed by A. Voitinsky and D. Kiselev, and the notorious T. Bekmambetov was the producer. There, in the company of wonderful actors such as Juozas Budraitis, Valery Zolotukhin and others, Grigory Dobrygin showed himself brightly and unexpectedly, having received the main role.

The plot of the picture is simple and somewhat reminiscent of the adventures of Spider-Man. The most ordinary student Dima receives a gift from his father - an old car. As it turned outsubsequently, the machine, equipped with a rocket engine, was a secret product of the USSR defense industry. Dima, who decided to make money with the help of a car (to deliver flowers), was once forced by a misfortune to look at the world differently and stand up for good. The picture received good reviews from the audience, and the young actor brought the first fame.

How I spent this summer

But Dobrygin was truly appreciated in 2010, after his filming in the film "How I Spent This Summer" (directed by A. Popogrebsky). The result was the Best Actor award "Silver Bear", which he received at the Berlinale 2010. The same prize was received by Dobrygin's partner in the film S. Puskepalis.

The film "How I Spent This Summer" was Dobrygin's acting debut, although it was released later than "Black Lightning". The plot of the picture is not at all trivial (art cinema!), The director's work was also built in an unusual way. Grigory Dobrygin will later tell in an interview that every day of shooting was a real adventure for him. He was not specially initiated into the intricacies of the plot, the director gave him a piece of paper with the text and sent him to the set. It seemed to the actor that he was not acting, but living according to the script - after all, he really had no idea how events would develop further and what the finale of the story that took the soul would turn out to be.

The joint efforts of the director and the actors brought worthy results: the film was evaluated by film critics more than positively.

And more aboutartist

This is a very unusual person - Grigory Dobrygin. Photos of the actor show him in a variety of ways: modest and wild, respectable and deliberately careless. Different roles, different incarnations.

In recent years, the actor managed to prove himself in several interesting projects. This is the picture "Atomic Ivan" - a story about nuclear scientists, shot by Vasily Barkhatov, a famous opera director. This is the creation of Achim von Borries, a director from Germany - "Four Days of May". The film tells about the events of the Second World War, and Dobrygin plays the role of a Soviet soldier in it. Another serious work with the German director is the thriller The Fourth Estate. An interesting discovery is the big role of Dobrygin (immigrant Issa Karpov) in the Hollywood film "Wanted".

On the account of the actor there are several more serious roles: in the Russian "Territory" and in the "Black Sea" (UK production). But the young actor has even more ambitious plans - lately Dobrygin has been positioning himself more as an aspiring director. And I would like to wish this talented person good luck in all his endeavors.
