The fate of a man whose iridescent image has been pleasing viewers from TV screens for 16 years, was not at all so sunny and carefree. In the bright life of this young artist, the death of a loved one, stabbing, and love have already happened …

Childhood

On January 28, 1988, in the city of Tver, which is located on the banks of the frozen Volga River, a boy, Misha, was born in the family of an entrepreneur, Sergei Vyacheslavovich Kazakov, and his wife, Natalia Mikhailovna.

The Kazakov family was very friendly. The father prospered, and they traveled a lot, traveled to almost all European countries. But during the summer holidays, Misha, along with his older brother Stas, was taken by his parents to the village of Myalitsino, located in the Kashinsky district of the Tver region. There, the future actor Mikhail Kazakov was fond of an occupation that was quite unusual for a child of his age - he grew exotic plants. The second passion during the holidays for the boy was a mountain bike, on which he traveled all around Myalitsino. He fell many times, broke his knees and elbows, but invariablyreturned home with a smile.

At school, young Mikhail Kazakov was known as a slob and a bully. However, a boy who was smart from birth, if necessary, could quickly get together and have time to memorize a verse just before the start of the lesson, read it expressively and immediately forget it forever.

Father

Sergey Vyacheslavovich was a well-known person in Tver and its environs. Having opened his own company for the production of carbonated drinks, he named the brand of lemonade produced by his own name - "Kazakov", thereby guaranteeing high quality in a peculiar way. At the same time, Cossacks drinks were much cheaper than their counterparts in Tver stores. The residents of the city willingly gave preference to them, and Sergey Vyacheslavovich's business grew by leaps and bounds.

However, in 2002, Kazakov Sr. was tragically stabbed to death in a fight. His killer was subsequently acquitted, but the remaining wife and two children suffered an irreparable loss and were on the verge of survival.

Mom

On the shoulders of Natalia Mikhailovna, who had just lost her husband, in addition to caring for the sons left without a father, more terrible trials also fell. For a long time she was pursued by unknown criminals. They regularly threatened and even beat the unfortunate woman, knocking out of her all the proceeds of the deceased husband's enterprise. The police turned out to be powerless, they never caught anyone.

At the same time, Natalya Mikhailovna's father died, followed by his paralyzed mother. The life of Mikhail Kazakov's mother was painfully similar to a scary fairy tale. The only thing that kept her afloat was her own goal - to put her youngest son Misha on his feet.

Yeralash

At school, despite his indefatigable energy and mobility, Misha was a rather obese child who now and then got into such comical situations that at least shoot a movie.

Seeing that her son's acting potential is confidently manifesting, his mother enrolled him in the Moscow Acting Studio, where Mikhail Kazakov traveled for some time, learning the basics of choreography, stage movements and speech.

After a few months of classes, he, along with the rest of the group, was shown to the commission of the children's film magazine "Yeralash", which selects the guys suitable for filming. Misha turned out to be the only owner of a textured, colorful and expressive appearance. From the whole group they took him alone, without any selection.

I just got lucky. They just urgently needed a guy of my build for the new series of "Yeralash" …

The first episode of the film magazine with his participation was called "Defender".

Evil rock

A few days before the tragic events, Misha was stabbed with a knife - unknown robbers tried to take away his phone and money. However, the obese young man, unexpectedly for the criminals and himself, was able to give them a fitting rebuff and even took away the knife.

On January 24, 2005, while in the center of Moscow, Mikhail Kazakov met two of his many friends - Vyacheslav andVika. After walking a bit along the snowy streets, they went to warm up in the entrance of one of the residential buildings, where they began to look at photographs from the filming of "Yeralash" that Misha had with him, they made fun of each other and laughed out loud. By a tragic accident, or perhaps on the conscious initiative of Vika, who wanted to arouse jealousy, it was in this entrance that her ex-boyfriend Kirill lived, with whom she broke up on the eve of the New Year.

Probably hearing their laughter and recognizing in it the voice of an ex-girlfriend, Kirill got angry. Armed with some kind of stick, he jumped out into the entrance and started beating Vika and Misha. Trying to somehow protect the girl and not really realizing what he was doing, Kazakov grabbed the very knife that he had taken from his robbers…

As a result, Kirill fell, bleeding. The ambulance, called by the frightened guys, traveled for a very long time. The police, who were called by the neighbors, arrived much faster.

There was a trial. Seventeen-year-old Misha, who immediately admitted his guilt, was convicted and sent to prison. However, a year later, his case was reclassified as a necessary defense and closed by mutual agreement of the parties.

After a while, the young man returned to TV screens, starring in the sitcom "Daddy's Daughters".

Ilya Polezhaikin and other roles

In the youth television series "Daddy's Daughters" Mikhail Kazakov played the role of Ilya Polezhaikin, a loser, whose brilliantly performed image broughtthe young actor is widely known. In total, over the course of five years, Mikhail starred in twenty seasons of this series, which has become his main work on television today.

In 2010, he starred in a comedy about the vicissitudes of recruits of the construction battalion, the TV series "Builder", where he played the kind and ingenuous Bulkin. Then, three years later, Mikhail played the role of a drug addict in the drama series Shores.

In addition to roles on television, Mikhail played the Behemoth cat in the play "The Master and Margarita" of the Moscow Drama Theater.

Private life

In 2007, a few months before the start of filming in "Daddy's Daughters", Kazakov met with Yulia Kotova.

They met on the river near the village of Myalitsino, during one of the summer trips to their grandmothers. Julia rarely watched TV, so she did not recognize the star of Yeralash in the plump young man. Fifteen-year-old teenagers almost immediately fell in love with each other.

The couple met for several years and even lived in a civil marriage, until Nikolai Efremov, the son of famous actors, appeared on the horizon of Yulia. As a result, the young lovers broke up.

In 2011, the artist got married. The wife of Mikhail Kazakov was the girl Elena, with whom he had known for about eight years in their native city of Tver.

Having a higher economic education behind her, the girl works as an accountant. Before the wedding with Kazakov Elenahas already been officially married, from which she has a daughter, Victoria.

In 2012, Mikhail's first-born son Miroslav was born.

Kazakov makes no distinction between Miroslav and Victoria. For him, they are both family.

Mikhail Kazakov now

In March 2017, Kazakov for the first time amazed the public of the famous talk show "Hi, Andrey!" with his appearance. Instead of the usual rounded young man with long hair, a completely different person appeared in front of them.

Diet and regular exercise turned Mikhail into a muscular tall handsome man, whose weight was only 68 kilograms.

The secret is very simple - walking. Many people I know just don't recognize me now…

Changed not only the appearance of the actor. He changed himself, almost completely reconsidering his entire previous life.

Mikhail Kazakov suddenly realized that he no longer wanted to be an artist. Following in the footsteps of his deceased father, he received an economic education, returned to Tver and opened his own business.
