Evgeny Miller has long been attracting the attention of the audience - after all, on his account smart and ambiguous heroes. The unfortunate soft vertex of the "three sisters" in the Oleg Tabakov Theater, a hard pragmatic background of the root in the "dueli" on the MHT stage, a strong and reliable hero in the TV series "Leningrad-46" and a passion friendly and polar states in the "double solid". But the actor's very actor knows a little, and then not everything corresponds to reality. So what is he and finally found his personal happiness? Details - in an interview with the magazine "Atmosphere".
- Zhenya, you just recently became a dad, I congratulate you! You simultaneously waited for two children: the son and premiere of "benches" in "Tabakcoque".
- Thank you! Yes, on April 10, my wife and I became parents. And I was even waiting for three children, because quite recently we had another premiere - "Russian War of Pectoralis", supplied by Sergey Pustopalis. It was, I confess, hardly, but nothing terrible, was in a tone. (Smiles.)
- But now you, in my opinion, are in a slightly relaxed benevolent state that your partners in the theater are noticed for you. Already managed to feel dad?
- No, I just start feeling what it is. I want to be more often with my son, just lie or sit next to him, hold on my hands. He began to raise less, but it is nonsense compared to a new feeling. Nowadays Vladimir Lvovich Mashkova, until the end of the season, release me from rehearsals of new performances to stay with his family and a little later, we gradually begin to act, still need additional earnings. He went to meet me. And I am very grateful to my colleagues for the sincere joy.
- Have you present at the birth of a kid?
- Not. At this time, I just walked the "benches" run. And immediately after him I learned that my son was born. But I would not be on childbirth in any case, because it would faint. (Smiles.)

- You by the time you learned that you will soon become a dad, and maybe earlier, already consciously wanted children?
- I understood that I want a child. And I thought about it from Katya, but there were no particular effort to attach. Although, as all the normal people in our time, went to doctors, checked health, we were told that everything was fine. And then what is called, they decided how will it be so. And so, thank God, we were born Mikhail.
"Let's talk about your second" child ", which has just published a" bench ", where you filiginally transferred the condition of your mercenary, with a complex personal life that came the hero. How do you feel about it not as an actor?
"As an actor, I have to justify my character, but I am really sorry for me, I am very compraining him, because he is confused in his life, and in his lies." He came up with some rules and could not break out of them, sort out himself and in what love is attached, what a family is, the relationship of a man and a woman. He confused in everything, but the heroine helps him to figure it out.
- Have you already understood what love is? Whether this feeling you have worried about twenty years?
- I do not know whether Love is what it was before. Now for me the main thing in the relationship of men and women is confidence in each other, calm and the ability to be yourself. When people do not try to remake each other, give the freedom to another with full trust ... This is probably love.
"Many spectators, to surprise, condemn the heroine, they say, she checks the hero's passport, calls the phone number he gave her, trying to expose his lies.
- So he is lying? Lying. Who is immoral one?
- I believe that she is generally holy, at the end did not take advantage of the situation to arrange his life, but tried to help him. You yourself do not close the phone, computer passwords?
- I have no secrets from Kati.
- Do you ever cheat?
- I can't endure a lie. If only "in salvation". I don't know how to lie - immediately noticeable if I try to do it. Since childhood, my father has learned me. For the deception sometimes received from his ass.
"I want to be more likely to be with my son, just sit next to him, keep it on my hands. I began to get enough sleep less, but it's nonsense!"

"You have been served in the theater of Oleg Tabakov for eleven years, where you play a lot of main roles, and an interesting novel has gradually formed. Nevertheless, do you panic, when there is no new job for a while?
- Of course, I begin to worry and even panic. As soon as silence, you think: "Forgot about you! All, you do not need anyone! ". What to do, the profession is so, and I am definitely starting to make myself. Maybe now it does not reach extremes, with age, everything is slightly smoothed.
- Are you so restless, reflecting into someone from parents?
- Mom, probably. She is a doctor, an obstetrician-gynecologist, she is a hyper-sensitive person, with a huge sense of responsibility. And I love for everyone to think, everything is solved, cook, even what is not necessary. Although now I am already starting to look closely, I think, maybe, it is not necessary to surround people to such a concern. But some caution I probably in dad. Dad was an engineer, director of DK Chkalov, then - Philharmonic in Novosibirsk, later - Deputy Head of the Regional Committee on Culture. He was often forced to make decisions very quickly, and sometimes they turned out to be erroneous what he himself said. I'm trying to measure ten times now, then cut off. But if I ruble something, then finally. It's easier for me.
- And what can you chop so?
- In a relationship. Recently, it became careful, and even with people "with mileage". (Laughs.) Now I check all, but I do not do it specifically, just judge in actions, especially in extreme situations. I can impress the human lung, guy shirt, but I do not like irresponsibility, betrayal and lies. If I feel that a person is lying, I'm not going to join the controversy or find out the relationship. It is easier to say: "Everything, thanks, on this our communication is terminated."
- Do you come in anger?
- Sure! It is very easy for me. In this sense, I am an explosive person, with a low patience threshold. And the splash can occur anywhere. But I study restrain my emotions.
- It happened that you still could not restrain and you spoiled to you something in a professional or personal plan?
- When I come to samples, shooting or first rehearsals, my behavior is often perceived as closed, even aggressive, it seems to people that I am constantly dissatisfied. Ask: "Well, what are you so walking, walk beech?" - And in fact, I have a serious inner work at this moment, and I just do not notice what I look from.
- What does Katya do except the new role of Mom and how old is she?
- She is twenty eight. She is a flight attendant, but by education - a philologist, but in Moscow it is very difficult to find work in the specialty. In addition, Kate always wanted to work with a flight attendant, this is her dream. She generally loves to learn, finds some courses, classes, mastering different languages, never sits without a case.
"Kati's great ability to listen, rarely, who has this gift possesses. We are talking very much. I share everything that I was booked"

- brave! And how do you feel about aircraft?
"I used to be very afraid, now I fly normally."
- After meeting with Katya?
- Not. When we met, she was not a flight attendant. Already at me he studied, graduated from courses on "excellent."
- You are together for four years. Immediately felt that this was your person, or also looked after?
- No, not immediately. After some time I realized that we were well together that we are very complemented by each other.
- Your ex-wife Julia Kovalev was an actress. And Katya loves the theater and movies, is it all interesting for her?
- Yes, but even if she did not like the theater, nothing terrible. We talk a lot, there is always something about. I share everything that boiled. Kati is generally the great ability to listen, rarely who possesses it. Julia is my second wife. The first, Lena, is not the actress, but also worked in the theater. In our Globus, there was a plastic studio. We all danced there during training there, they met. We were about ten years old with Lena somehow connected. Converged, diverged. Young were. Now she is fine, thank God. And I, too, because before the appearance of Mikhail children did not have.
- converged, diverged, and say that rubit ...
"I became such a thing with age, an understanding of something. We are all very different, not easy, I am generally a very difficult person. I need freedom, personal space. I can not touch at some moments, to force something to do, limit, in general, try to subordinate me.
- But you say Kate, what will be at home about so much so that you are not worried about you, call later?
"I never leaving, without saying where I am, that I, and call, of course." I have one rule - close people should be calm.
- Your mother is not related to art, dad is connected with culture, without-conditionally, but still not engaged in a creative profession. Where did you get the acting starters?
- At first I participated in a school dramatic circle and generally always performed some artistic tasks with my classmate of Vitea. Then it all turned into school KVN, and went, went. And I studied at school with an English bias, in a linguistic class. And I was referred to me in the Pedic Institute, and the translator, but I went to the other side.
- What was the driving force in order to start doing acting exercises?
- I think I liked the attention of the public. And it seemed to me that it was easier than to solve mathematical tasks and teach accurate science. At the same time, I was extremely shy, squeezed and a very sentimental child, and now remained shye. I am always very worried before the start of a new job and a meeting with new people, how everything will go, as the relationship is collaborated. I can not sleep before the first shooting day, because I am very worried. In general, always with excitement and tremble I treat the beginning of something new.
- And yet the actorhood of you at least a little successful, made more confident?
- I do not know. The scene is the only place where I can be sure of something. This work helps me to understand yourself, because it allows you to get to the point that you are inside. We traded yourself, sell our nerves, complexes, failures, diseases, clips, losses and victories. Axiom that the scene treats, although it gives energy, and selects. For example, after the "bench", I basically need to rest at least a day. But recently I had no such opportunity, the next day I had to get up early and go to work. I did not have time to recover, and it was hard to play a performance, but I had to do it.
- In Novosibirsk, you graduated from the branch of the guitis and then stayed there, in the theater. At your own accord?
- It was a target course, scored for the Globus Theater. I graduated from the institute in 1999 and was one of the leading theater artists. And in 2005 he moved to Moscow. He served in the theater named after Gogol and a half season, then found himself at the Tabakov Theater.
- These six years in "Globus" it seemed to you that everything was fine and did not want to change anything, or overshadowed: "To Moscow, to Moscow, to Moscow"?
- Everything was fine in Novosibirsk, but I have to hang clichés very long there for a very long time that I am a bachelor's father. True, at first I treated this seriously, then - with irony. Not that I bothered it, but I decided that it was time to get rid of such a loop, to take off to become independent and move on. Moscow was sitting in the head, there was a well-minded feeling, and there now everything turns that there is more opportunities in the capital. I was not conquered, but still something to achieve. Parents helped me with housing in Moscow, generally supported the first time. If not they, I would be very hard.

- Before that, have you been to Moscow?
- Sure. But I still feel myself someone else and, probably, I will never become a Muscovite. I'm from Novosibirsk. Although I generally do not understand what Moscow and Moskvich, Sibiryak are not Siberian, Petersburst ... For me, the city is above all people. And they are different ...
- Who gave you the opportunity to feel more or less comfortable in Moscow?
- Different people helped, supported, including colleagues-actors. And good word, and concrete business. By the way, most of them are not Muscovites. Of course, Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov played a huge role in this. My father was familiar with him, it happened on the theater tour in Novosibirsk. And he told me then: "I urgently bring the cassettes with your records, show Tobakov." I was recorded a cassette. I brought her Oleg Palych to the hotel. It was not there, I left all Marina Vyacheslavovna Zudina and ran away. On this then everything ended. True, then there was nothing to show, by that time I did not have any big roles. A serious repertoire appeared later. And when I moved to work at the Gogol Theater, Oleg Palych with the director came to the play "Roman with cocaine", where I played, watch Vanya Shibowa (he is also our, Novosibirsk) on the role in the Tabakov Theater. Then the father came to visit and said: "Let's call Oleg Palych, let you look." I refused, but he still appealed to him with a request to come to the Gogol Theater, look at the guy. And Oleg Palych asked: "And so it's yours, or what? So we saw this performance. I understood, a normal guy. " Some time passed, and then the father called, he said that I would urgently fled to the "tobackerka", they are looking for me there. I was angry, there was a play "Marriage Belugina", Seryozha Puskapalis began to put it. I read the play, came to Pustopalis, and he approved me. After that, I and Shibanov took in the troupe. Later, Oleg Pavlovich sent me to the "duel" and "Vass Zheleznov" in MHT. He generally had an amazing flair on the actors and talents. He remembered everyone and knew that this artist was suitable for this role, and for this one - the other. And he spotfully recalled everything, even about those who worked many years ago, and said: "And find me Vasya Pupkin" - and called a person for a role. He also remembered the names, the names and patronymic of the people who came across, and everyone who did good. He helped the artists a lot, always said: "In order for those who go after me, it would be lighter easier." He always knew everything about people who work with him. It was the feeling that he surrounded his concern for everyone. He loved artists, it was his main feature, loved those who worked in the theater, loved theater. He was a unique person in every sense. He is very lacking.
- Your first, although you played a small role in the long-playing TV series "Adjutants of Love", which came out in 2005, when you just arrived in Moscow. So you immediately began to take off?
"When I arrived in Moscow, I drove every day for a subway for four hours, because everywhere I spread photos, I called everyone, I tried to attach somewhere. The first desire was to make me to eat. And this role was episodic, on the very first day I was on the snow for a podolin. (Laughs.) But from this it began to purchase serial experience. And since 2007, the first two years in Tabakcoque I was in the theater at least, released five prime ministers. And the first thing that is remembered as more or less serious in the cinema is "Yalta 45". For me, it was a rapid role, working with masters such as Tigran Keosayan, Operator Igor Klebanov, and excellent partners.
- After your first works, especially in Moscow, and in the theater, and in the movies, what did your parents tell you?
- Mom is very rarely praised and extremely neat. It can say: "Well done, the text did not forget" or "you heard you". It is the highest praise, restrained and ironic.
- And dad, as a man's humanitarian man, generous to praise?
- Dad and the person of the technical warehouse, engineer, and the fact that he worked in the field of culture is his self-education. He is a selfless book and does not think himself without the theater. Like Mom, sister, our whole family is people who adore the theater in any of its manifestation, and literature, perhaps besides me in childhood. (Smiles.) I was forced to read. But dad is also very restrained, we have not taken to crumble in praise. And my wife Katya is a grateful viewer first, but she does not capture me. We try everything
Objectively evaluating my work.
- And you never wanted to make compliments more?
- The one who does not want him to praise, probably a dead man. After all, the "good word and a cat is nice." But I really like that in our family, I restrained our feelings from my work, it does not allow you to relax. (Smiles.)
