Stychkin spoke about fatherhood, alcoholism and embarrassment on the set

The stars begin to slowly wake up after the New Year holidays and go out into the light. A series of closed film premieres has flooded Moscow cinemas in the last week. A series was presented in Khudozhestvenny – a new adaptation of the adventures of the notorious Erast Fandorin, and, of course, both those who starred in it and just movie lovers gathered here on this occasion. We talked about different things, but the most popular topics were the coronavirus disease and the upcoming Epiphany. It just turned out that ailments overtook even the most persistent, which means that there can be no talk of any swimming in the hole.

Perhaps one of the brightest couples on the red carpet was Evgeny Stychkin and his wife Olga Sutulova. These guests were treated from head to toe. Well, firstly, Olga, who has been published extremely rarely lately, and she has objective reasons for this: last summer, the artist became a mother for the second time. Stychkin and Sutulova had a son, whose name is not yet disclosed to the general public by the parents, and this is the second common child. The eldest son Mikhail was born in October 2020. Of course, the journalists intended to talk about the event with Olga herself, but she, before the start of the show of the series “Fandorin. Azazel hurriedly retreated, giving the photographers only a short photo shoot with her husband. During it, by the way, those present could not help but notice that among the accessories Sutulova had an expensive Gucci bag from the sanctions list.

In general, Stychkin himself had to take the rap for everyone, who, however, was also not in the mood. Even the questions about the New Year did not want to answer. The artist-director was drawn to talk more about art. For example, he recalled how he was almost embarrassed during the shooting, which took place on the territory of the museum.

“At some point, we already get used to the fact that everything around us, no matter where they let us in, is one film set. At some point it turned out that I needed to change clothes, and I decided that I would not run far for this, but just go quickly around the corner. And already changing clothes, I realized that museum workers were standing around me, and I was actually in the middle of museum expositions without pants. Museum workers had fun. This, fortunately or unfortunately, is our familiar attitude of one art to another,” shared Eugene.

During the conversation, we also talked about how Stychkin began his career. He suddenly remembered how his first audition went: “I remember my first casting very well. I started filming on September 17, 1991 in my first year, so I passed the casting after I entered VGIK. In the director’s room, I read The Catcher in the Rye because that was the work I read when I entered. And this coincided with the vision of the director – I was approved. But I didn’t worry, until the age of 25 I didn’t worry about anything at all, it seemed to me that everything would be fine anyway.

However, the journalists could not let go without questions of a personal nature. And if Sutulova did not speak about motherhood, then Stychkin nevertheless spoke about fatherhood. As the artist admitted, he always wanted a lot of children.

“I was absolutely sure that I would have eight, nine, ten children. So I am still only on the way to this: work and work, ”admitted the star father.

However, on this, the correspondents did not want to let the star go, and as a result, Eugene left the red carpet almost to the applause of humor lovers, since he gave out “humorous sketches” that everyone is now discussing. The fact is that in recent years Stychkin has not changed much outwardly, in connection with which meticulous journalists asked: how does he keep fit? And then the actor, as they say, offered an original solution.

“Alcoholism. Why not a diet? Stychkin joked. – If you drink a lot, then the diet itself is formed. Here you drink vodka – eat some snacks: herring, salted mushrooms, cucumbers, fried potatoes, cutlets. And if you drink beer, you eat a knuckle, ribs, and if you drink wine, then you eat almost anything. Well, it depends on what kind of wine: red or white. When I return home, I love some Russian simple food, ”said the actor.

In addition to Eugene, other colleagues were seen in the cinema. For example, actress Anna Churina, the wife of director Alexei Petrukhin, who does not practice such a diet, preferring healthy walks in the fresh air to libations. For example, Anna has just returned from the Altai Territory, where she spent the New Year holidays with her family. “We went to Altai, inspired by nature and communication with each other. Most of all I remember going to the temple, which is located on the top of the mountain on the island. To get there, you need to climb the mountain, overcome a difficult path, but the views are simply fantastic. I overcame this path, and it was the most memorable experience,” Anna concluded.

But the actress Renata Piotrowski did not go anywhere for the holidays. Like most Russians, the artist fell under the pressure of SARS.

“I was sick all the holidays, I just recovered. I was thrown into the heat, then into the cold, but I felt the smell of tangerines. It turned out to be coronavirus: we did a covid test, and it showed a positive result. And I didn’t get vaccinated, but before that I didn’t get covid at all. But you see how it happens: you have to be careful and not relax, – the artist said, specifying that there will be no talk of swimming in the hole at Epiphany, respectively. “This is not my format, I have never tried it: I am afraid of the cold, I am cold, I am always cold, and even in summer.”

By the way, not only Renata admitted that she had been ill for the New Year holidays, and therefore she would not plunge into the hole on the night of January 18-19. Actress Evgenia Sinitskaya said that her whole family had been ill. “Grandma was even in intensive care,” the artist clarified.
