Being a child of famous parents is hard enough. No matter what you do, no matter what you do, you are doubly responsible for everything. And, above all, in art. Agree, with the children of famous actors who decided to follow in the footsteps of their parents, the demand is always greater than from their colleagues who came to the world of art on their own. Maria Mironova, Elizaveta Boyarskaya, Maria Mashkova, Viktor Dobronravov, Maria Shukshina and many others have already proved the right to proudly bear a well-known surname. A few years ago, Ivan Yankovsky, who continues the line of a talented family, joined this list. His screen debut came in 2000 in Come See Me. However, he was made popular by the second and to date the last picture with his participation - a mystical film called "Indigo".

The boy's grandmother - Lyudmila Zorina - Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. Ivan's father is a popular and talented director and actor Philip Yankovsky. The boy's mother, Oksana Fandera, is no less famous than his father. This amazing actress starred in many films, and her fame is well deserved. In addition to their son, the couple also has a daughter, Lisa, who was born in 1993.

Ivan Yankovsky, whose biography received sources for his subsequent development in such a talented family, decided not to look for difficult paths and follow in the footsteps of his relatives. This decision surprised no one.

First screen appearance

Already at the age of ten, Ivan Yankovsky made his first screen debut in the film Come See Me. The directors of this masterpiece were the grandfather of the young talent Oleg Yankovsky and Mikhail Agranovich. The plot of the film is as follows. On New Year's Eve, a stranger knocks on the door of an elderly woman living with a sick mother. This chance meeting turns the world of all heroes upside down and proves that love does exist. Irina Kupchenko and Oleg Yankovsky, who play the main roles in this film, made an amazing creative duet. No wonder you can watch them play in the same breath.

The role of the angel in this picture was played by Ivan Yankovsky. The filmography of a ten-year-old boy was replenished with the first entry. And critics called this film a kind, soft and unobtrusive work, filled with warmth and love. Basically, this picture was great.start for the development of the professional career of the young actor of the Yankovsky family - Ivan. And he successfully coped with his, albeit episodic, role.

Trying on as an indigo teen

A year before graduating from the Moscow International Film School, Ivan Yankovsky appeared on the screen for the second time. It was 2008. This time, the young talent got the main role in Roman Prygunov's film "Indigo". It is noteworthy that Ivan has known this maestro from a very young age. Roman is a close friend of his father. They once walked through the "granite walls" of science together.

One fine day, Prygunov brought Ivan the script of the film with the words: "Read it, if you like it, then come to the auditions." The young man was fascinated by the story of children who are practically no different from their peers. The only thing that makes them stand out from the crowd is their amazing abilities. Such children, endowed with superpowers, are called "indigo". That was the title of the movie.

The role and plot of the mystical picture

Ivan came to the audition, and he was approved for the role of Andrei - a boy who had the ability to foresee events. As the actor himself admits, he was interested in playing a teenager who is endowed with superpowers. At the same time, according to the script of the film, the not quite ordinary life of indigo children was under constant threat: they are being pursued by a maniac.

Until 2009, Ivan Yankovsky studied at the International Film School named after Nikita Mikhalkov and Rustam Ibragimbekov, choosing the faculty of directing. Then, after graduating from an educational institution, he enters the State Institute of Theater Arts (GITIS), which was previously called the Russian Academy of Theater Arts (RATI). The young man chooses the acting and directing department. After the first role, his views shifted slightly towards participation in films, and not in their productions. As the actor himself notes, at this stage he is more interested in the game, the mastery of the process of “fitting” and getting used to the image, knowledge of the deep processes of the art of acting. Ivan Yankovsky wants to learn this from the inside, from the position of an artist.
