Most likely, everyone has already understood who will be discussed in this article. So, get acquainted: Yuri Kutsenko.

Children's years and family ties of the future celebrity

Yura (who is also Gosha, also Goga) was born on the twentieth day of the warm month of May 1967. This happened in Ukraine in the city of Zaporozhye. But soon after the birth of the boy the whole family moved to Lviv, where the childhood of the future star of Russian cinema passed.

Yuriy Kutsenko Was born in an interesting family, because not all children are selected by relatives with such professions. My grandmother was an opera singer at the pope's line, my father was an employee of the Ministry of Radio Industry, and my mother was a roentgenologist.

Excellent worker Yura

It just so happened that the parents gave little time to their son. And Yura grew up a very active, lively boy. He liked to learn, so he pored over textbooks without any coercion from adults. And independently he achieved good marks: in addition to chemistry, he had only five.

But do not think that Yuri Kutsenko grew up as a so-called botanist. Despite his excellent school achievements, he skillfully combined classes with sports. The boy attended the sports section, with pleasure engaged in wrestling.

Childhood memories

In one of the interviews of the journalistic brotherhood, the famous Russian actor Yuriy Kutsenko shared the impressions left by him for ever in his memory. He told me that this time was absolutely happy for him. And he realized this only when he grew up. Zaporozhye is forever associated with him with special warmth, Lviv - with his native Ukraine. Everywhere, wherever the boy walked, there were freely growing trees, croquetted from cherry and mulberry. Nearby was the Dnieper, where Gosh and his friends splashed in the waves. In those distant childhood years, and remained the first love, the first bike, first friends ...

Then the boy was engaged in the sports section by freestyle wrestling. For him it was an unforgettable time. Only very fast, flew fast. Yura then fell asleep with great difficulty, because for tomorrow he had many worries, for example, how to exchange two buttons for two buttons. It was many years later that such things seemed to the adult Yuri Georgievich ridiculous boyish cares, and in childhood nothing was more important than this.

From MIREA to the Moscow Art Theater

After receiving the school certificate Kutsenko Yuri Georgievich enters the Lviv Polytechnic Institute. He can not finish his studies, because the young man is called to the Soviet Army. Serves as a future actor for two years. In the late eighties he moved with his parents to the capital, to Moscow. In this huge city of realization of almost all, even the most unrealistic hopes, Kutsenko becomes a student of MIREA - the Moscow Institute of Radio Engineering, Electronics and Automation. He studies diligently, as in school, but after a short time understands that this is not his path. His soul was against it. After all, always a young man was drawn to the theatrical stage.

After studying at MIREA for only two courses, Kutsenko Yuri Takes a very important and fateful decision for him - he simply must enter the Moscow Art Theater School. And the guy began to seriously prepare for the entrance exams. His father, Georgy Pavlovich, was so shocked by his son's act that he even called to the dean of the Moscow Art Theater School with a formidable demand not to accept a card idiot named Yuri Kutsenko.

In order to prove himself from the best possible side, at the entrance examinations the future actor read "Confessions of a hooligan", which came from the pen of Sergei Yesenin. In those years, Kutsenko still strongly karavil, which drove almost into Homeric laughter head of the admissions committee - the great Oleg Tabakov. He often asked the applicant: "What's your name?". He constantly replied: "Yughiy". But suddenly, once again, he said: "My name is Gosha. So mother called her as a child. " The commission in its entirety was taken prisoner by such ingenuity and ingenuity of the young man. So Gosha Kutsenko became a student at the Moscow Art Theater School.

Several Moscow theaters refused him. There were entreprises, quite a decent number of small cinematic episodes ...
