October 1 at 18:00 on the TV channel "Ukraine" starts the second season of the Ukrainian-language medical drama "Likar Kovalchuk". The leading role in the series, a cardiologist, was played by the famous Ukrainian actress Anastasia Karpenko, who told in an exclusive interview about the second season, and also shared her ambitious plans for the future.
Tell us briefly: what will the second season be about, what changes will Oksana have?.
Oksana has become more sensual, kind. Not so strict, more laughs and jokes. In general, thanks a lot to the screenwriters, they made the script of the second season more alive, there is a lot of humor in it. Confident that viewers will enjoy.
There are some new characters.. The main ones are Victoria and Vadim. Victoria is my antagonist, and Vadim is the guy who loves me very much, and I’m all for Max, Max is all for herself.
Wedding with Maxim Zakrevsky will be?.
See for yourself.
Tell me, are you also friends with sports? Boxing doing?.
Now I give much less attention to boxing, but I will sail through the Bosphorus! Swim in the summer, and in January registration is already. In addition, on October 7, I will run a marathon - 42 km.
To sail the Bosphorus - this is serious, how many times a week do you go swimming?.
I try 2 times a week. The schedule is most often crazy, but as soon as a free moment appears, I immediately go to the gym..
That is, not only swimming?.
No, no, I shake, run and swim.
And you did not think about the IRONMAN World Championship?.
I want to, but you also need to prepare for this - in the same place, besides swimming and jogging, there is also a bike. I will definitely do it, just not now.
Do they ever attend to some other sport? This, shall we say, a la aggressive, boxing, power. Maybe some dancing?.
I like dances on the pylon and flamenco. They are in tune with my character.
The main line in the series - love. There is an opinion that women eat and are filled with love, and men can eat work or friendship. How do you think?.
Not at all! I can and love, and friendship, and work, all the more, I am, in general, doing it (laughs). All individually, can not be separated by gender.
If you had the opportunity to make a trip to the past, would you change something in your life?.
Would I do otherwise? Yes, it would, but it's personal. But I do not regret anything that happened to me in my life.
Your character is completely immersed in his work. Do you think this means that she is in her place and this is her vocation? After all, a person may simply be a workaholic and give himself to an unloved business..
Life is like: half is family, personal life, half is work. And very few are as lucky as I am.. Yes, and Oksana was lucky that she found herself in a favorite affair. It is in such a situation that work does not take energy, but only gives. Of course, I can be tired and Oksana can be exhausted, and something has to be sacrificed, but in general it's such a dope ... It's fortunate to find your calling.
If life would be different, and your work would not suit you, would you be able to change it at any time, or would you wait until it completely “covers”? There are people who are willing to take risks, realizing that life goes somehow wrong. Are you one of these?.
Yes, of course, I'm one of those people..
And is it scary that something will fail?.
Scary of course. But people who are not afraid does not exist. Just one can control fear, others - not. Moreover, I had a similar experience when I went into business. At some point, I began to doubt myself as an actress, a professional, it was still at the very beginning. I was 24 years old, I just graduated from the institute, and at that moment there was some kind of substitution of values: I really wanted to make money, but they were not at all - minus-minus-minus endless. I thought that my acting is not very successful, and they don’t earn money here.. It seemed as if I would be just an example of an unsuccessful actress who did not succeed, suffering in her old age from the fact that she had not changed anything in her life..
My sister offered to work with her in an event agency, I even became a co-founder for a while. After working for a year, strange things began to happen to me: I sometimes woke up in the middle of the night with the words “Nastya, you are not going your way, you make a mistake”. I calmed myself, went to my office again in the morning.
In fact, the office also had a very interesting job: a lot of communication with people, events, organization, constant movement and a huge number of acquaintances in various fields.. I was fascinated by all this. But, thank God, I had enough wisdom, a mind to listen to my intuition and return to the profession again.
What is the biggest extreme in life you have experienced?.
This is probably not exactly the extreme you ask.. But I recently visited Poland, where I visited the Maidanek concentration camp. Honestly, this is one of the most terrible and terrible experiences in my life.
Do you have any phobias? Fear of spiders, snakes, heights ... Claustrophobia.
I would not say that it is a phobia, but snakes are unpleasant to me. Consciousness, I will not lose or run, headlong, but unpleasant, yes.
Do you think there is any secret of success?.
Yes! Positive attitude all the time.. And then you catch this wave, and everything happens. It works by magic. It just happens - in the profession, in personal life, and with friends, and you are lucky, and everywhere is green. And you come to the queue, and you are inferior there, or there are no queues at all, and everyone is standing in a huge.
That is, you are just starting to get lucky in everything, if you love life and set yourself up positively every day..
Yes, it needs to learn. I, too, sometimes wake up angry or tired, right in the morning, or think about the fact that today, for example, I don’t want to see anyone. But while I am going to shoot, I tune myself, pump up energetically, because I understand that a lot of things depend on my mood at the site.
Have you always been so positive?.
No, I learned this. This is work, but worth it..
