In 1999, the Russian god flew out the news: the singer Maxim Leonidov marries anyone who is not a famous twenty-year-old actress, which he dedicated his song "Girl Vision". But after three years, the marriage collapsed. Everyone expected the scandal-related scandal in such cases associated with the section of jointly proven property. Especially since they had something to share. For example, a country house, which began to build newlyweds after the wedding (now leonidov lives with a new family. - Approx. Aut.). Anna surprised everyone by submitting her to her husband, she just left Maxim and divened with his head. And fate smiled at her, the crisis in his personal life coincided with career growth - the actress began to actively starve into the cinema, and immediately in the lead role.
Anna Banchikov: "It was not easy job, however, not from a dramatic point of view, but with physical. The fact is that my heroine in the television series owned the eastern martial arts, drove a motorcycle. I had to learn everything right on the set. It turned out to be quite well, found among the audience those who believed in what was seen on the screen, and I happened, asked: "In everyday life, you also break your head on a motorcycle chase or still inactive? How long have you been fighting? "
Why did you choose the profession of the actress?
Anna: "We can say, this is a call of blood in urban stone jungle. (Laughs.) My grandmother, Polina Banchikov, was the actress of the Leningrad Musical Comedy Theater. Being small, I often had in her rehearsals and performances. Such situations arise when the child's parents do not leave with anyone, you have to take it with you. Mom worked as an engineer, and in her service it seemed to me so boring: people sit, something drawn, write, talking to each other very quiet, so as not to interfere with each other. And a completely different grandmother: brightly, beautiful, noisy, the artists sing and dance. So great, although the spirit captured! Of course, I fell in love with the theater. And still love him. "

It happens that actresses in the cinema have to experiment with their appearance. How do you feel about this?
Anna: "Normally, if necessary for the role. For example, removing in the film Alexander Mitty "Swan Paradise", I even adds a highlight to the appearance of my heroine. According to the script it was assumed that she would be blonde, and I suggested to make it perhydrol-red. Then the wet hair was worn into a lot of braids, poured lacquer and went to bed. I get up in the morning, we settle down, and on my head such "house" stands! But I really liked the director, it was such an image that he approved. Although then I had to regret it more than once. You imagine, a few months while the shooting lasted, I braided these pigtails for the night every day. Sleeping with them was inconvenient, and it's difficult for combing the next day. "
And with extreme on the set I had to face?
Anna: "Yes. For example, on the set of the film "Biranha Hunt", where I played one of the roles, I had to jump from a helicopter into the water, and with knitted hands. Even remember scary! According to the plan, Sergey Garmash should be cigible, then my turn, and next - actor Alexander Sirin. We explained in detail how to group and keep hands. But it was worth a five-meter height to see how Sergey left under the water with his head, immediately came to know that from this helicopter can be thrown out only by force. I began to rest, then Sirin jumped out, and only after his jump I managed to make myself step down. When Garmash, having emerged, did not see me nearby, he was frightened that I drowned. "
You were offered to play the role of Nannies Vicky in the series "My beautiful nanny," you refused, and Anastasia Zavorotnyuk began thanks to this Sitkom. Do not regret your decision?
Anna: "No, I do not regret. I was forced to refuse, because I understood that for the sake of this project you will have to forget about theater and other films for at least a year. The schedule was very tough. "

And how is your husband Vsevolod treats your profession?
Anna: "With humor and understanding. For example, I recently finished starring in the film "Martian". This project has a lot of special effects and computer graphics. Communication of my heroine with her lover passes through a holographic connection. And when you watch a movie, it looks like on the screen. But I sat in front of the camera and spoke with an empty wall. My husband must have fun me: "Anya, you told me now or chatting with the wall?" Or another favorite remark: "Well, yes, you don't need to think my head in your profession." And he says that he is not offended by him, but on the contrary - you laugh. Important after all are not words, but things. And Seva, realizing how difficult, I have not only physically, but also emotionally, trying to support me. "
Anya, how did you meet my husband?
Anna: "This is from the area - with whom the new year will meet, with the you will spend it. (Laughs.) Mark the coming, 2005 I was going with friends. After the performance ran home to change clothes, put yourself in order before going to visit. And the time has already been pressed. Ran out to the street, hoped to take a taxi, but, first of all, cars, as it was called, was not enough, and secondly, no one wanted to go to the other end of Moscow at eleven in the evening. In useless attempts stood for a long time and frozen. Finally, I was lucky, the car stopped, fortunately, the driver had to be in the same area. On the way, we talked. It turned out to be a very interesting young man. Lawyer from the USA, who graduated from Harvard. The driving part was snow-covered, we drove slowly, so the kourartov battle, which argued about the beginning of the year, caught us on the road. Although I can not say that it is greatly upset. By the way, as it turned out, we were directed not just in the same area, but in the same company. Here is such a New Year's miracle. It is also noteworthy: as it turned out later, long before our meeting I attended the same style events as Seva. But for some reason we did not intersect, passed by each other. It can be seen, we were destined to get acquainted on the night of the thirty-first December for the first January. "
Pregnancy planned in advance? Preparing for this on science?
Anna: "No. I learned about my interesting position funny. That day I played in the play "Storm" in the Petersburg Theater, there is a scene, where my partner takes me on hand. After the rehearsal, he says: "Something you, Anya, rejected! You're not so easy to raise you. " By the way, in the old days in Russia, the word "refined" was used in relation to pregnant women, although the colleague on the theater meant that I added in weight. But I laughed to myself, remembering that for our ancestors this word meant. In the same evening, my husband and I were flying to Moscow, and for the first time, sowing the plane, fell asleep. When they came out in the capital from the airport, Seva suddenly declares: "Come on, Anya, buy a pregnancy test!" As it turned out, he watched me for several days and for some kind of driven signs suggested that we would have a child. And, oddly enough, it turned out to be right. I myself was somewhat confused. "
And my husband reacted?
Anna: "He was not shocked. I think he would rather be surprised if his assumptions were not confirmed. Of course, she was delighted with such news. Literally a couple of weeks before this, Seva was already said: "Why are you still not pregnant?" The husband really wanted and waited for a child. In this, our desires coincided. As we later learned, at that moment, when we had this conversation, I was already in the position, we just didn't know about it. "
Vacation for Anna is a rare phenomenon, but if you relax, then only the whole family: with the spouse and two children - the "professor" of Misha and Hooligan Sanya. Photo: Personal archive of Anna Bashchikova.
But you did not leave work almost before childbirth?
Anna: "Yes, and in the theater, and in the movies. Sometimes it looked ridiculous. For example, in one play, I played a young innocent girl and went on stage with a big belly on the fifth sixth month of pregnancy. Colleagues reassured me, they say, do not worry, "innocence" can be fatten. But with a multi-sulfur film "Heavy sand" there was a lining. The shooting was dragged out, and since they passed in the city of Shchors, ride there from Moscow on a large term was quite dangerous. Therefore, it was decided to block the script slightly and reduce my role. "
They say, the day of childbirth can not be predicted ...
Anna: "Oh, not true. Doctors called me absolutely accurately, day per day. After midnight, the contractions began, but I courageously endured for up to six in the morning and only then woke up her husband. Seva overlooking the gossip of the obstetrician took the clock, sitting the time between the fights and said that it was really time to go to the hospital. Thanks to our doctor, which explained to us in advance how to determine this "peak hour." And I went to prepare. Made a hairstyle, bright makeup, elegantly dressed. Husband was surprised: "What are you doing?! How are you going to give birth or give birth? "And I answer him:" I want my son to see my mother's mother! "True, the dress had to be changed in the hospital in the hospital."
When you were born a second child, the eldest, Mishe, was a year and ten months. Not hard, because this time you did not leave work?
Anna: "Probably, if I faced the choice - a child or work, I would choose the birth of a child. But this question did not arise. I had helpers - my mom and my husband. "
Mom is understandable. And the husband also helped to care for the baby?
Anna: "Yes. I remember after the birth of the firstborn Seva, looking at how I put on newborn diapers, proudly stated that I could not do this. And I changed the diapers to the son myself. And I thought: Well, how so, he can do it right, but I am not! Multiple attempts - and I got everything to get fine. The husband decided that if everything was improved, then mommy himself perfectly cope with this duty. And it seems to me that no one will take care of the children about children. "
Probably with the second child you repeat the experience that was purchased with the first?
Anna: "Nothing like it. It seems like a similar story, but still differently. The only thing that was general is - all familiar, peering into the baby, wondered who is more like a child. And for the first time, and everyone spoke in different ways. When a child in a hat is supposedly poured, when without a hat - a copy of Seva. And in my opinion, that in the cap, that without hats, both were like Bruce Willis, the same bald and charming. "

Now your kids are five years old and three and a half years. What are they in character?
Anna: "First, they are absolutely different. Senior, Misha, Real Znayka. Mixing prefers cognitive TV channels, gladly watching astronomy programs, physics, animal, travel. And most importantly, I remembers what I saw and heard, and in meaningfully refers to the information received. From Books Favorite - Encyclopedia. Sometimes my knowledge of the senior puts me in a dead end. I can not find any answer to some questions, since this requires special knowledge, for example in chemistry. But since he is not interested in sports, and the person, in my opinion, should be developed comprehensively, we sent a child to engage in Tekwondo and swimming. And the youngest, Sasha, on the contrary - smart. Unlike Misha, he loves to play with various cars, does not sit on the spot, give only to run to run, jump or break something! "
When a woman has two children, she has to sacrifice something for the sake of family. What did you refuse?
Anna: "Now we are less and visiting secular events, parties. But is it a victim? I myself want to spend as much time as possible with sons. I even pay little attention for this reason. When in the evening we return from work and before you it is an unequal choice - to engage in children or washing the floors, naturally, like any mother, I will give preference to children. "
So who is in your house responsible for the economy?
Anna: "Everything is gradually. With cleaning helps to cope with the nanny of children Elena. In the weekend, the sowing is engaged in Seva. It turns out that it is so great that now I have no doubt that the best cooks are men. I also know how to cook and do it, but my husband comes out not only tasty, but also quickly. So the ordinary for many families "Now Mom will cook lunch" in our house will sound about dad. But on shopping we both go. Although Seva, thanks to his American experience, it takes less time than me. In a word, a household is a common question that we all decide. "
Do you notice your own in the nature of children?
Anna: "both have a share of stubbornness. This can paint into dedication with age. Durability to children got from me. It came to funny. At one time, ten years ago, a demonstrative case happened to me. I was with the theater on tour in Kazakhstan, and I needed to return to the capital in the capital in a strict day. At first it seemed that difficulties would not arise. But on the eve of the departure, it turned out that there are no tickets for direct flight. And there is only one option - to fly to Moscow through Baku. I immediately decided to do so, but I began to discourage: they say, Azerbaijan, another state, is needed at least a transit visa, and there is no time to receive it. I replied: So, I'll do without a visa, if there is at least one chance, it must be used. And here in Baku is happening to me what they were warned. Border guards delay me, I begin to explain to them that in Moscow shooting and I can't miss them. In fact, it was a real show, and not a persuasion. From the area "And let's let me play something here or a stan." In a word, I insisted on my own, I missed me to the desired flight. When I climbed the plane, the whole salon applauded me. The main thing - I achieved my! "
