"Beauty will save the world," the classic argued and it seemed to be right. Young actress Lyubov Aksenova confidently conquers hearts and directories, and film critics, and spectators. She has already paid attention to the pictures as "stories", "Motherland", "loves does not like," and a new premiere is ahead - the film "Night Guards", where our heroine plays a fantastically beautiful vampire. Inviting anyone for a photo shoot and becoming closer, we realized that the secret of her charm is not only an attractive appearance, but love and openness to the world.
- Lyuba, for some reason, after our photo shoot, a question arose: with what time do you associate yourself?
- With spring or autumn - something transient. I am not interested in the final result, but a change, the process of transition from one state to another.
- Probably, so you chose an acting profession? Here you can change as much as you like.
- Yes, definitely. And I am sure that the change is always for the better. And in each new image you experience some new sensations, emotions.
- None of your relatives was associated with cinema, with art. Have you been so sure that you will succeed?
- Many people told me that it was very difficult - without connections to enter the theater university. And, of course, as always before something unknown, I had an excitement, neurosis. But everything turned out to be unexpectedly easy. I came to audition, liked it. Members of the admission committee were cute, pleasant people. Then exams. Received from the first time. (Aksenova graduated from Gitis, Alexey Sheynin's workshop. - Approx. Aut.) But, probably, the thing is that I have not looked at it. I understood that if not as an actress, then somehow I can act differently. For example, I could go to learn to a lawyer. In front of me stood all the infinity of the choice of profession.
- Are you so easy to treat everything?
- I do not think. It's now I have a good mood, and it seems that there are very few things in the world, about which it is worth upset. And then some dramatic role falls, and everything appears in the gloomy light. It seems that the drama circle.

- After you have developed a profession in practice, the ideas about it changed?
- Certainly. I am not from the artistic family, we did not intend to act in the apartment, artists, figures. I did not grow in the atmosphere of Bohemia, and I had vague ideas about this profession. I saw a picture on the screen, but I knew nothing about this world. When I came, it was something unknown, but amazing and beautiful. I was interested to get inside the process. That is, I used to see the cover of the book, but I did not read it. And now I'm inside and see how everything happens, as the role is lined up, as people interact on the set. And I did not know that the movie is so multifaceted world.
- And were the legends of the cinema with whom you wanted to meet?
- At least with Peter Buslov - it was a fateful meeting. And with Nigina Saifullaeva. With the picture "Roshovnik", which she removed, we went to the "Kinotavr". It was there that I met Mikhail Segal and Peter Buslov. Then he invited me to his project "Motherland." But if you mean some kind of thrill before the meeting with the idol ... No, there was no such thing. I am with great respect to many of our actors, professionals of your business. For example, Konstantin Kryukov is a wonderful actor. And then I got acquainted with him in life - he turned out to be absolutely different, even more interesting. (Laughs.) In childhood I liked Natalia Oreiro. Now, if I met her then, fifteen years ago, probably, fluttering from happiness. (Laughs.) She was a little late with his visit to Moscow!
- the project ends. Are you easy to part with people or are friendly connections stay with someone?
- Yes, of course, it is always a little sorry to part. I am very warmly related to all people who work on the set. We create together, create something, some emotions are connected with this, and, of course, there are pleasant memories. It's very cool then to meet again, already on another project. By the way, I love to go to the premieres - there, too, you can see good acquaintances, with whom I wonder to talk, discuss the news.
- Are you a company man?
- Differently. Of course, there are periods when you want to lock in the apartment and not respond to calls. But in general, I think yes. I like people. I like to communicate, listen to other stories. Therefore, maybe I myself am not so well I give an interview. (Laughs.)

- How do you think, what qualities you need to have a young actor to succeed?
- Wow, it was great if I knew the answer to this question. So. On the growing moon, go to the forest and there, under the pine, bury your hair. (Laugh.) No. For me, this is a mystery. I meet so much talented creative guys - why one manages to break through, and there is no other? It seems to me the most important thing is to do what you like. Although another question is what is the success of ...
- What is successful for you?
- Probably, it is some kind of inner feeling that I did everything well. I am not so often learned on the street. I guess I am a good actress and very convincingly creating an image. (Laughs.) But if at least a few people fit and say that he felt that promise I wanted to convey to his work is incredibly great. So, after the "homeland", one person said that he wanted to meet with his daughter, who did not communicate for three years.
- You have ahead of the premiere of the movie "Night Guards". What hooked you in this story and what is it for you?
- First, this is a movie about vampires. This is just a dream - to play in such a film, and the creature from the other world! For me, this story is primarily about love. About the fact that she will save the world. Everything collapses around, but together he and she will overcome all the trials. With her help, the Hero of Vanya Yankovsky enters into a fight with dark forces and wins. So even this is a movie about faith in yourself, which is important.
- By the way, when I asked Ivan Yankovsky, he said that this is a film about myself. The person lives, and he has a feeling that he doesn't do in life, not in his place. And then someone or something appears, which gives him an impulse.
- I look from my heroine. She believes until the latter that this man is the one that can save the world. And let the main character at first not confident in herself, but it is she who convinces him that he is elected. So everything is correct. For Vani, this is a movie about searching yourself. And for me - about the fact that you need to believe in your strength and proceed exactly as you feel. Because we often stop us some doubts, we find a bunch of excuses, in the end we are just scary.
- Probably, this is a female mission - inspire a man to feats?
- I would not make separation. And a man can inspire. For example, my husband inspires himself, without suspecting. (Laughs.)
- Lyuba, what do you think you are a strong nature?
- And what did Vanya tell me? What does he think about my account? (Laughs.) It's hard to evaluate yourself from the side. But, probably, yes. After all, our profession is such that much needs to be overcome, open some new faces yourself, leave the comfort zone. There are always events that drag you on the sofa: Lag, lie down, pay.
- Have you had to make compromises with our own principles?
- Each person faces such things when it is forced to do something against the will. But I do not even remember when I had to sacrifice something. I try to communicate with people who go to meet me and make it possible to be yourself.

- Is it really no disputes with the director?
- The relationship between the director and the actress is generally another world. Here we must abstract from everything, to forget who is a man who is a woman. You create something new, and these are always different opinions, explanations, evidence. This is exactly what is a good movie. I just love the dialogue when people communicate and come to a compromise.
- Have you been complex paintings in this plan?
- I am flattened by the fact that I am a good worker: I do not go to the conflict, I'm not preceded with anyone. If it seems to me that you need to play a role in a different way, otherwise than sees the director, I bring arguments. Want to understand you, learn to explain well.
- In one of your early interviews, I read that you even cried before shooting the first erotic scene.
- I do not remember this. There were very strong experiences after going out the "Story" screen. When I saw a mounted film, I understood that I could not convey my message to the viewer. For me, my heroine existed in a slightly different context. In my opinion, her roads were these relationships. And she tried to somehow develop, learn to fit the intellectual level of her beloved, so internally I justified it. And in the end, a completely different image turned out on the screen. Konstantin Yushkevich's hero did not understand the sincerity of her feelings. "What to fuck with you" - this phrase eclipsed everything. And about erotic scenes I have not experienced some negative emotions. My profession is assumed. All the same, my body belongs only to me and my husband.
- For each image you come up with some interesting chips. During the "stories", in the image of their heroin, they were raised along Arbat, on the "Motherland" the diary of Eva. And in the "night guards" something like that was?
- Yes ... I ate raw meat, did not sleep at night. (Laughs.) About the meat joke, but I really walked one in Moscow, I absorbed nightlife. I walked for some clubs, golden places. The city opened at all on the other side. It happens, you look at some fruitful characters and think that he could definitely release fangs. Interesting such a mode when you sleep in the afternoon, and at night you awake. In fact, I am grateful to the director Emilis Velivis, who created a completely new Universe, in which we all interact. It seems to me that he himself played a little. I hope he received in the frame what he wanted to see. We tried very hard.
- As far as I know, in this picture a stunning action-shooting. Have you ever done some tricks?
- Yes, in the plot, my heroine goes with a cortic. And since I had no such experience before that, I decided to do martial arts. We recommended a good teacher, and I, a fragile girl, joined the absolutely male company, where the guys have honed their skills. By the way, I liked the lessons, and they were very useful on the set. When I was given a knife in my hand, I at least knew how to keep it. (Laughs.) There were very funny moments with hanging through the cable. In one of the scenes, my heroine is kept behind the neck and raise up. I hung on this cable and could not further than on the meter, move away from the wall. If I needed to talk to someone, I waved my hands, attracting attention. Before the director, he tried to finish off through a bunch of people who went to the set. There were interesting, but complex scenes that we shot, putting special lenses with the effect of red eyes. Through them, nothing can be seen, especially in dark basement. And we had to fight! This is a very interesting experiment, thanks to the leaders of Drak and Dubler, who picked up my movements. There were a lot of flights, jumping in the air, no wings initially called "Wings". It is just the same ballet, I became much more plastic.
- Now you can stand up on a dark street.
- Yes, now I turn the neck offenders. (Laughs.) No. I still have a fragile girl, and good for me to stand. But on the applied karate and Thai boxing, I am also pleased with pleasure.
- Do you have a feeling after this picture that is not so simple in life, there are secret forces and movements that we may not know about? Have you faced mysticism?
- No, but I was always attracted to mystical horror. All sorts of "Evenings on the farm near Dikanka." Fairy tales - it's so interesting! All attracts a mystery. Did you have something like this in life?
- I can only say that I have very well developed intuition.
- Here ... And where does this feel coming from how to do? Is it inner or we get information from somewhere? Really curious. But these plots so that some kind of fortune teller predicted to me the future and it came true.
- Maybe you have talismans, happy numbers?
- I'm afraid you will disappoint you again. Probably, it's time to get them. Here look, I was presented with a pretty icon. His name is Rick, this is a character from the cartoon "Rick and Morty". I just decided that he would be my talisman. I am sure he will bring me good luck.
- Tell me, Lyuba, how did you decide to cut your luxury long hair?
- We did it just for the movie "Night Guards". It was a clearly thoughtful decision of my and director. There were many options, as my heroine should look like. Thanks to artist on makeup, who mastered the art of photoshop and helped us present the future image. We experimented a lot with wigs. And then they came to such an asymmetric hairstyle. I went to the beauty salon and ruthlessly flashed my spit.
- right without a shadow of doubt?
- Yes. On the contrary, I was very glad that I finally did it! I am grateful to Emilis, who helped me so drastically change the image and see himself in a new light. Because trim long hair is a whole step. Decision. And now I have become more mobile. I can do another hairstyle, I can repaint in red color. Change - this is the same!
- But the magic of long female hair is still not comparable to anything ...
"My friend said so about the girl with beautiful long, dense hair:" Here it sits and silent. " I understand that if I had the same hair, I would probably sit and silent ... "(laughs.)
- How do you feel about your own appearance?
- Calmly. I even like me, satisfied.
- Luba, but you are beautiful, what to modest! How often do you make compliments and how do you perceive them?
- Very pretty. I am pleased when they say cute, good words - especially from the soul. It is always feeling sincere or not. It is very inspired when a close person admires you: "You look incredibly well today!" - "Thank you! - I answer. - I didn't even try! " (Laughs.)

- For actress, spectacular appearance is an extra bonus?
- Maybe yes. Although the actress can afford to look different. In general, what is a spectacular appearance? Somehow I can not apply such a definition to myself. Here Monica Bellucci is a spectacular woman. And I am still at some transition stage, looking for myself.
- Wash your spell on someone?
- exclusively on the husband.
- The husband has long and firmly fell under your charm. What happens to other men?
- I think I treat the category "Your Guy". Always was a kid, friendly and felt comfortable with boys. In any case, no one admitted to me: "I am unable to in love with you since childhood." Although sometimes I notice that someone manifests your attention to me. Beauty is because subjective perception, someone I don't like me.
- Flirt carries you?
- Flirting I, too, with my husband. I have a lot of male friends, I feel good in their world. And it would probably be very strange if I suddenly began to flirt with them with them.
- Generally men like a class do you like? Many modern women complain that the man cried now.
"Maybe I will now get out of the general building, but I personally believe that I did not translate in Russia Ratrii. Men are capable of feats and noble deeds, they can make decisions, lead a woman behind them. I know such young people. Here is Vanya Yankovsky - an excellent example.
- Look, the husband will be jealous.
- My husband is out of competition. He knows it perfectly. Thanks to him, I believe in real noble men.
- Lyuba, do you have small women's weaknesses?
- Type of cake? It seems to me that a woman should periodically indulge. One my girlfriend is a photographer. She testes all these severity: light, equipment, that is, is engaged in an absolutely male business. And then, after some particularly complicated photo shoot, says: "And now I want a new dress." And goes and buys it. We, modern women, very strong, responsible, work, earn, do the house and can make a lot. But! I propose more often to remember that we are girls and want a dress.
