Since August 13 on the TV channel "Inter" the long-awaited premiere - the series Eastern sweets-2. One of the main roles in the 24-serial melodrama produced by Star Media is performed by Ukrainian actor Yakov Kucherevsky.
He plays Igor - a man who after ten years of marriage is thrown by his wife and leaves for another. She moves to live in another country, because her new beloved is a Turkish doctor. The couple has a son, but a genetic test shows that the father of the child is actually ... Igor! As a man will fight for his love and for his own son, viewers will be able to watch from Monday to Thursday at 20:30 on "Inter". On the eve of the premiere, actor Yakov Kucherevsky exclusively told the site TV. UA, how will his character change in the second season of the series, shared the secrets of reincarnation from a good guy in a bastard, and talked about his family.
Jacob, you are completely different from your screen hero. Igor is cold, always restrained in the manifestation of emotions and feelings, and you have a smile that does not go away from your face, constantly joking, cheer the team ... This is a big problem! Everyone thinks that I am the same as my characters - brash, energetic. So lately I refuse to play scum, I agree only on the role of good guys.
Do you watch shows with your participation?.
I'm looking, of course, but only to analyze the work. So, by the way, things are going on with all the films. Almost always I watch a movie for the sake of playing actors, I rarely get caught up in a story. All the time I'm trying to look for something that is not known to me in a professional sense.
Do you agree that your Igor - an absolute anti-hero and his actions is not an excuse?.
All actors justify their characters. Igor has his own truth, like all of us. He's honest, I respect people who have the courage to tell the truth.. All people live for themselves. Conquer women, do feats to feel like tough guys. In fact, what does Igor want? A full-fledged family, to be with his wife and son. Yes, for our society, his actions are not always correct from the moral point of view. But the goal, it seems to me, justifies the means. By the corpses he does not go. In some moments, it could have been harder to do. To be honest, I did not completely "catch" it. Sometimes on the playground I hear: "How cool you are reincarnating. Communicate outside the frame - Yasha. As soon as you hear the command: "Camera! Motor! "And immediately" bang "- Igor appears". And it seems to me that until the end in it and did not figure it out. But this is the most interesting! To play a man whose actions are not peculiar to me, to dig into him, to argue ... This is the beauty of acting. We have the opportunity to live the lives of many people.
In the second season, Igor's character will change?.
This season it is tougher and drier. If in the first he somehow tried to keep his face, then he no longer thinks about it. He does not care what people say about him. There are reasons for this, but so far, I will hold the audience in an intrigue. Most people are constantly justified. "You see, I did it because ..." And he does not like to flutter. And this is the position.
How do you prepare for the shooting?.
I have one way. I stand in front of the mirror and say: "I'm a good, positive person. All around good people, everything is great, I have a lot of strength ". And it works, really! For the last ten years there is absolutely no time for rest. Has already forgotten what a vacation is. Such a rhythm of life, nowhere to go. I invented a mantra for myself, as long as it saves (smiles).
Cinema and theater to some extent bears in itself an educational component, how do you, what does the audience learn the ribbon "Eastern sweets"?.
We often argue with friends-actors on the theme: should cinema and theater art something to teach. And we come to the conclusion that artists submit some kind of morality in a game form. And the viewer decides what to take for himself. And how is this perceived. As for the "Oriental sweets", this story teaches me personally not to give up, fight to the last, to defend one's interests: love, work, own "I".
During the time of work on the set managed to find friends?.
I live in another city (in Odessa - prim. red. ), so the time to communicate with colleagues is only on the site. And, to be honest, I'm not a shirt-guy, I do not like hangouts. I'm a family man, a homebody. The father of two beautiful children - 13-year-old Plato and little Dashuni, she is only two years old. If there is a choice - noisy company or wife and children, will always prefer the family. I do not like to talk much. I love silence and privacy. Exception - communication with his wife and loved ones. Usually it happens this way: my wife and I return from work, we put the children to bed, and then we can sit on the balcony until 3 o'clock and discuss everything in the world. My Olya is an actress, Honored Artist of Ukraine. We are always on the same wavelength. There are always general themes.
In acting families, it is probably easier to relate to jealousy? Everyone in the pair realizes that screen and scenic beloved ones are just work.
It seems to me that in our family there is, in principle, no place for jealousy. I'm monogamous, my wife knows about this. For a long time I sought it, we live happily for many years, I would never allow myself to let this all go down.
Tell me, how did you win your wife?.
We met when I entered the Dnipropetrovsk Theatrical School. She was a year older. Everyone thought she was proud because of the royal posture, which she always kept. Then I noticed her. But I was afraid to approach - I was 15 years old! And then I was taken into the army, when I served, her course was already graduated. A few years later we met already in Odessa. At that time she broke up with her chosen one and was hard at the break. Here I took advantage of the situation, acted as Igor (smiling). I did not show that I had anything to do with her, I was just around, supported in a difficult period. So everything twirled. Now, in the circle of our friends we are considered a standard pair. All wives say to their husbands: "Here Yasha would have done so ..." And husbands set an example for Olga's wives. She really is a rare type of women: beautiful, intelligent and talented. At the same time, an amazing mother. Even too loving and caring (smiling).
