Sports, yachts, two sons and a lot of filming and performances. In order to do all this, you need to be a very purposeful person, and Vitaly Khaev is just such.
"Vitaly, your fans gladly watched the series" How I became Russian. " And now you are playing in the movie with the same name, but with another main hero. Why did the chief of your cinema suddenly became a Chinese?
- After the release of the first season, somewhere in a year or two, Chinese producers arrived with a proposal to make a movie. It turned out that in China the series was very popular - we later learned about it. He was in second place to download after the "Game of Thrones". Therefore, a proposal was made to make a picture based on the series, only already with the Chinese hero.
- In this movie you play the oligarch. As far as we know, perform such roles for you not forward. And what are you like to be rich, albeit on the set?
- This is such a fun oligarch, cheerful. I asked the Chinese, why did he like it so? They replied that they also have a lot of rich people, but to behave as joyfully, openly, fun few fun. So this character of the soul and brightness of this character to the Chinese people. I, of course, played many different oligarchs; This, in my opinion, is the funstick. Comedy - still a wonderful genre.
- It turns out that a billion people know you at least?
- In general, I learned about this interest from the Internet. When I started writing Chinese hieroglyphs in Instagram, naturally, I did not understand what was happening. At first they simply removed them. It was just immediately after the release of the series in China, when it was started to download, and we didn't know anything about it here in Russia. In general, soon I was signed by a huge number of people from China. They called me another "funny dad". Then instagram began to just swell from Chinese subscribers, at some point something began to set up something, and my account was simply hacked. But my children were forced to make a new one: they say, you are an artist, come on!
Vitaly Khaev on the film crew "How I became Russian." The actor is not the first time the oligarch plays, but always does it in different ways.
- Can you say something in Chinese?
- No, It is Immpossible! Chinese and Russian languages are so unlikely that when we recorded New Year's congratulations for the Chinese, the director stood beside and spoke to the phrase, and we immediately repeated her. Even the hearing was hard to catch all these obverseon - up-down. I can, by the way, say about my partner in the shooting of the Dong Chan, who played a major role: he, of course, an incredible clever. I know what to play in a foreign language, and he played in Russian.
- In your hero, is something personally from you - in character, behavior?
- Sure. I'm not only in the Forbes list. And so it is practically me. I myself am open and cheerful. I also have secured friends, and I think that if you have a wealth, it can be used for some kind of joy in life - it should be interesting to live!
- Can you from the latitude of spiritual to take and pull a large amount of money for something?
- No, unfortunately, I do not have much money so that I could take and just pull them out. I have children, they need to feed them.
- According to the plot, the Chinese guy you need to please the father of the bride. Have you ever tried to please someone else's father?
"No, I didn't choose me, I did not sift me." I now think that the children will grow up - how will I treat it? But I have boys, it's easier for me. (Laughs.) In general, I think that children must choose themselves - this is their life. If they like to live with the Chinese, let them live with the Chinese; With Africans, it means with Africans. The main thing is that their life is good, joyful, with love.
- You say that children forced you to start an account on social networks. It turns out that now not only you teach them something, but they are you?
- Oh yeah! I am learned to use social networks, tell me about everything. Without them, I would definitely have nothing. They are now almost from birth with computers on "you". Everyone knows, understand: how and what to do, as tickets to buy online and where. Somehow taught me everything. (Laughs.)
- What are the children who are pleased with the talents?
- Senior, Vladislav, is studying at the Higher School of Economics. He is still a year and a half to learn. Owns two languages - English in general. He received the Gold Medal of the Government of Moscow, passed the All-Russian Exam on the "five," he even had a grant for admission. In this sense, he is a very clever boy, since childhood he was dragged to study in England. He has the ideal language. Now French is studying.
- Well, younger, George?
- He grows creative guy. He started with the Titsov contest, played at school, then went to the local theater. Does, playing the main roles in his children's theater, he really likes. I look at it from the side and try not to interfere at all. I do not know, however, that from this will come out, but I hope that there is still time and he gets up. (Laughs.) I didn't push it there, this is the profession of crazy.
Vitaly was married twice, and from the second marriage from the actor there are two sons: Vladislav and Georgy. After the divorce Vitaly retained a wonderful relationship with his family and often spends time with sons
- What are you fond of free from acting activities?
- I have an old friend, a fairly successful businessman. He is a master of sports of an international class on yacht crosses, we served together on the fleet, then our ways were divided for a long time. But he remained faithful by the sea, and his daughter - the champion; They even won in tournaments together. He constantly called me to engage in yachting, I have long refused, five years old, probably. In the end, he dragged me, and since then I realized that my place is there in the sea. This is an incredible vacation, the atmosphere, a sense of freedom. It turned out that many people are still resting, and these are all tales about the high costs. For example, relax in a five-star good hotel or take the weeks on three yacht, it turns out at the price of the same, even cheaper. We do not speak about the yachts of the oligarchs, and a huge number of people go to the usual × 16 meter boats. You bathe in the clean sea, eat fresh seafood ... and when free time, we immediately plan such a trip. And I want to drag me on a real sports regatta, but I am still resisting, although I think that one day I will enter into a sports race.
- You are a very brutal man, what to hide. Do you support your good form only during hikes on a yacht or still have any experience?
- In general, I am a former athlete, a master of sports in combating. There was a champion of Moscow with another young man, then he served. Now, of course, everything is different, and the age of another. But I am still for a healthy lifestyle. I love swimming, bath. Well, naturally, there are some physical exertion. It is necessary, because on the set, when you fly away for 2-3 months, you fall out of this sports schedule - the figure is changing, the tone disappears. I chose a club where you can even do at night. I'm going there after the performance either I try the day after the filming be sure to get there.
- By the way, and bad habits are not about you?
- Why not about me? About me. I already throw a smoking for five years, I still can not. But it can also be dangerous to throw - grow out. Once I threw for four years - and immediately recovered ten kilograms. Long had to be recovered later. I do not know what to do about it. But in general, in terms of habits, I have everything like everyone else. Alcohol is not particularly poured, because on the set you need to keep yourself in shape. But on holidays sometimes you can, why not?
