Most recently, he was known as a good-natured joker of Yurchik from the Skrykochmam "Krayina U", "Once Under Poltava" and a member of the "League of Laughter". And today Yuri Tkach is one of the brightest characters of the show Tantsi z zirkami (1 + 1), who reached almost the finals.

The project is over, but the people are Yura, did they plan to last so long?.

Personally, I thought: at least until the middle of the project to hold out! I thought that we were going through the "Dance ..." tour - there are too many stars, which the judges could give preference to. It turned out, no, you can fight.

And about whether, in principle, to agree, have thought about it for a long time?.

I began to think about it in about twenty minutes, because at first I was shocked by the proposal. Then, as always, I consulted my beloved wife. She made square eyes: "And why did not you answer" yes "at once? ". And then we with the channel conducted negotiations - for three months.

Were there any insurmountable differences?.

No, the graphics could not match up. I was shot in "Once Upon a Poltava", then immediately started the festival "League of Laughter" in Odessa, and after him - "The Game of Jokes". There were other plans in the plans. In addition, I work as a host of events. So much had to be canceled. And still started training 10 days later than the rest, so I had to rehearse for 7-8 hours a day. Wife of the law: this is a project that happens once in a lifetime. I'm not Natasha Mogilevskaya, to participate twice (laughs).

And why did you need it? You have something to prove? The spouse? Or others?.

And myself and the family, and a little lose weight due to the dances, and something new to try - I never danced, except that when my mother in her childhood unsuccessfully tried to teach. For me it was a new stage in my life, a chance to open my own possibilities. You know, I never thought I could move like that! Previously, even sports did not do. I do not like it - immediately the mood falls, the temperature rises. And here you want it or not, you'll run and run, and you'll learn how to move.

Plus with interesting people met. It's very cool when you are surrounded by like-minded people. We all became a family. With Sergei Babkin - just one soul. Kamalia called immediately after the airwaves, where she left the project. And Natalia Kholodenko got me today at 8 am - from Spain, I think (laughs). So with all call up and try to see each other.

Did you make friends with Ekaterina Kukhar? Not everyone liked her stark remarks.

First, everything she said was fair. Secondly, she also worried, because the jury was sitting for the first time and did not know how to correctly say how to behave. When it was found out that our couple and Ilona Gvozdeva were being withdrawn, Ekaterina came up to me, we embraced. Yes, they said good-bye to everyone! How else? The project is over, but people are left.

Cha-cha-cha in the kitchen What did you do in the "Dance ..." in physical and moral terms? From such intensive loads it is possible and a nervous breakdown to earn.

I had another problem, which can already be said: my participation in the project was under threat. Apparently, he sat out his left leg or just a nerve under his knee chilled when they rehearsed the "Funny Game". Because of this, the muscle, which allows to stand on the toe, has refused - all the time the heel fell. In a panic went to the hospital, I was there for 5-10 injections every day to do. And all the same, when I started training "Dance with the eyes", the muscle recovered by forty percent.

Now it's better, but we still have not managed to get a full recovery. On the project, I did not tell what a poor and miserable - I do not like to complain and whine. I'm a man! Although the first dance performed, being in a terrible state: a sock could have climbed five times, and the sixth was gone. And the calf was badly ill. Fortunately, other injuries were bypassed. Well, maybe the muscle somewhere pulled - it's so, little things. But lost weight.

I know that you even lost weight before the project. How many on "Dance ..." dropped?.

10 kilograms. Before that - about 18 kilos. And there were 125 (smiling).

If you do not like sports, how do you lose weight? One diet is unlikely to be enough.

Previously, only a diet and treated. It was in the summer, you can walk a little longer, and swim. Now every morning I start charging - the body already asks for it. Warmed up a little, then, as Ilona bequeathed - 15 times crouched, 25 times the press swung.

You have your own personal choreographer at home - wife. Rehearsals in the hall with Ilona smoothly flowed into the home - with Vika?.

She is engaged in my ballroom, so it helped a lot with the waltz and cha-cha-cha - danced in the kitchen (laughs). By the way, cha-cha-cha was the hardest for me. And another tango.

Vika criticized you?.

She's my truth-seeker. But if he sees that I can be injured as a creative person, he tries to make the remark as neat as possible: "Everything was wonderful, you're done well. But here, in a slightly different way, do it, and everything will be - zashibis! "- in general, in the style of Catherine the Cook (laughs). She has found an approach to me for a long time - six years ago.

You create the impression of a very sociable person. Do you celebrate your birthday on November 9 at a big table or with your family?.

Oh, I did not even think how it would be. Probably, as usual: we will sit at home, eat deliciously, then later reproach ourselves for drinking too much and eating and for having an occasion to go in for sports and follow a diet. After that we will meet already with friends. And I want to go to the Dnieper for five days - to my favorite city.

Guitar with a house in addition In one of the interviews you said that you spend your hobby time on a family. And what is your hobby?.

Now I rarely do it, but in principle I really like to play the guitar. Previously, he was strumming in his kitchen, while neighbors did not complain. Too thin walls in the Kiev new buildings, especially you will not play. And I was given a combo on my last birthday - such an amplifier for an acoustic guitar! Just as the soul took. But no, here you will not turn around.

It turns out, in addition to the guitar you need a country house where you can play music as much as you want, and no one will experience discomfort.

Vo-o-from! A good idea! Soon I plan to seriously consider this topic. Of course, this is a big dream of mine, but so far there are other paramount issues.

You have two educations (and none of them has anything to do with what you are doing right now) - you are a mechanical engineer and financier. Could not immediately decide what you want to do?.

Dad advised one thing, Mom - another: "Yura, you must have two educations". - "What for? "-" It is necessary! "So at the National Metallurgical Academy of Ukraine, I received two. But since at that time I was actively engaged in KVN, this confused me with maps. The Sochi Festival coincided with the state examinations of the second and half year of financial education. I had to choose - Gos or KVN. I chose the latter and took off from the course.

In the same year I received the diploma of an engineer and thought: to get a second one, I need to recover, which means I lose a year. And I decided to just go to another university, private and very cool - University of Economics and Law. Training there cost 400 UAH per month - this is approximately how it is now 1000, the amount that could be pulled. And you could study two days a week, and on the weekends - just beauty!.

By the way, among my classmates was my dad. When I said that I realized my mistake and decided to finish my studies, he became so interested in this, that he himself went to receive higher education - the third one. And learned together: a mustachioed slender man and a paunchy bald son - an ideal companion (laughs).

Honestly, now I myself am thinking about the third degree. I would like to have a professional acting education. Yes, although some courses to listen to! But it takes time, but it is not yet available.

No one except you Most of the time is occupied by shooting in the sketches "Krayni U" and "Once Under Poltava". What do you like most about your character Yurchik?.

He is very kind and sincere. Even their stupid or seemingly evil deeds do without a back thought - from the heart.

And he often sticks in different stories. Is it peculiar to you?.

Oh, humorists always get into them. Especially when faced with people who do not understand jokes. And my language is not bad, so I can misfire somewhere (laughs). In his personal life, humor helps, if suddenly with Vika some kind of disagreement turns out. Although we are trying not to quarrel. And we leave both quickly: sulk at each other or not talk for days - we can not.

Many thought that Ilona Gvozdeva - your wife, so harmoniously you looked and so at ease communicate. Was not Vika jealous?.

Ilona is as crazy as I am. As soon as she saw it, immediately realized that we will find a common language. Vika also made friends with her, and our daughters had each other's birthday the other day, so no jealousy. And in general - my wife knows: no one but her needs me.
