Alexander Lazarev (junior) is a famous Russian theater artist and film actor. In 2007 he was awarded the honorary title of People's Artist of Russia.

Parents

In April 1967, a son named Sasha was born in the family of actors Svetlana Nemolyaeva and Alexander Lazarev. The father of Lazarev Jr. came from a theatrical family. His brother was an actor at the Comedy Theatre, his aunt served at the Alexandrinsky Theatre. Alexander Sergeevich graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School and worked at the Mayakovsky Theater throughout his life. He was also a successful film actor. His debut took place in 1961. It was the movie "Free Wind". Throughout his career, Alexander Sergeevich has performed about a hundred roles. The mother of Lazarev Jr. was a native Muscovite. She also came from a family of intellectuals. Her father was a director, one of the first graduates of VGIK. Svetlana Nemolyaeva met Alexander Lazarev at the Mayakovsky Theater. They got married in 1960.

Childhood and youth

Alexander Lazarev, whose biography is interesting to all his fans, grew up in a creative family. From childhood, parents named their son none other than Shura. Of course, with parents-actors, the boy could not conceive of lifewithout tours and trips, from early childhood he knew the smell of backstage, communicated with outstanding Soviet artists, and dreamed of following in the footsteps of his father. Alexander Alexandrovich himself, recalling his childhood, says that he was a simple Moscow hooligan. But maybe he's just lying. According to his mother, Shura was a homebody. And in this he looks like his father.

In an interview, Alexander Lazarev tells how his parents in the ninth grade found out that he smokes. For them it was just a shock. They sat in the kitchen, hanging their heads, and almost cried. Shura recalls that long conversation with his parents, after which he quit smoking.

Often, in order not to take a small child on tour with him, he was sent to a kindergarten in Evpatoria. But the boy did not remain alone for long. The father tried to spend every free day with his son.

Alexander was not a diligent student at school. His father was often called to the director. In 1979, a 12-year-old guy played a small role in a play by the Mayakovsky Theater, which finally convinced both himself and his parents of choosing his profession. After graduating from school, Alexander Lazarev enters the Moscow Art Theater School. He gets on the course of Ivan Tarkhanov. But after the first year of training, he is drafted into the army.

It was 1985. Alexander, like many of his peers, wanted to go to Afghanistan. But his parents, by hook or by crook, persuaded him not to do this. And Lazarev remained to serve in Moscow. In 1987, Alexander Alexandrovich returned to school-Moscow Art Theater Studio, but now on the course of Kalyagin. In 1990, he received his coveted acting diploma.

Theatre

In 1990, Alexander Lazarev was accepted into the troupe of the Lenkom Theater. He was introduced to three performances at once: "Juno and Avos", "Romulus the Great", "The Life and Death of Joaquin Murieta".

In his theater, Alexander Lazarev has always been in good standing. In his career today there are more than ten performances with significant roles (Count Almaviva, Peter the Great, Orpheus and others).

As a guest star he took part in the musical "Metro".

Alexander Alexandrovich is a three-time winner of the "Seagull" award, and was also awarded the "Crystal Turandot".

Cinema

The actor managed to perform his first film roles as a child. In 1982, it was a TV movie "Profession - Investigator".

The first main role came after graduation, in 1993. The film "Provincial Benefit" attracted interest in the young artist, and offers rained down on him. Alexander Lazarev, whose photo does not often appear in the media, has played more than fifty film roles.

Among the most interesting works of the actor are:

1. "Dead Man's Friend" (Anatoly).
2. "The Bremen Town Musicians and K" (Dog).
3. "Idiot" (Ganya Ivolgin).
4. "Heavy sand" (Le Court).
5. "Zastava Zhilina" (Beria).
6. "Catherine"(Count Razumovsky).

It is interesting that at the beginning of his film career, Alexander Lazarev acted under the pseudonym Trubetskoy, so that he would not be associated with his parents. The actor wanted to succeed without the help of an already famous family.

Despite the fact that the artist's filmography contains paintings of different genres, he still has the role of a handsome, hero-lover.

Private life

By its nature, Alexander Lazarev, whose biography confirms this, is monogamous. He has long and happily married a girl, Alina Ayvazyan, whom he has known since school. The girl graduated from the Moscow State Institute of Cinematography, becoming a certified philologist.

She works as a translator of children's literature, very sociable and funny, he is an actor who would prefer an evening at home to any trips. They have different views on the film industry, excellent musical and literary tastes, but still they have been together for over twenty years.

The secret of their family happiness is the ability to listen and listen to each other.

The couple has two children: daughter Polina (b. 1990) and son Sergey (b. 2000). Five years ago, my daughter graduated from GITIS, followed in the footsteps of her father and grandparents. Sergey is interested in sports (tennis and taekwondo).
