Alexander Garrievich Gordon is a Russian journalist, radio and television presenter, actor and film director. At one time he worked as the head of the Workshop of the Faculty of Journalism at the Ostankino Moscow Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting and as a teacher at the McGuffin Film School. He is a five-time winner of the prestigious TEFI award. And to the general public, he is better known for his television programs "Gordon Quixote", "Private Screening" and "Male and Female", where he appeared on screens as a presenter. Of course, fans are interested in knowing the details from the personal life of their idol, including his financial condition.
According to the majority of TV viewers throughout the post-Soviet space, Alexander Gordon differs from many of his colleagues by his particular categoricalness and adherence to principles, when he rigidly defends his positions in a conversation with an opponent. This characteristic feature of the journalist led him to the fact that the entire interested audience was divided into two polar camps.
Today, everyone is well aware that the popular TV presenter largely neglects the commercial aspect of his creative work. And his immigration to the United States at one time can be very accurately described by the phrase: "I left Russia with a suitcase and a half of things and 400 dollars in my pocket, and returned with a debt of 20 thousand."
short biography
On February 20, 1964, in Obninsk (Kaluga region), the future journalist and TV presenter was born into the family of an Odessa Jew Harry Gordon and a Ukrainian woman Antonina Strig. After the birth of their son, the parents decided to move to the village of Belousovo, located in the same region, for three years. And from there the family moved to Moscow.
After a while, the parents divorced, and Sasha stopped seeing his father, who in the Soviet Union was a fairly well-known writer and poet, as well as an artist. However, at present, father and son have developed a very warm family relationship. Subsequently, the mother remarried, and the stepfather became a real parent for the boy.
According to Alexander Gordon himself, his childhood was full of a lot of bright and memorable events. Both heredity and habitat were of great importance for his creative development. At the age of 5, he already became the owner of his own puppet theater, with which he regularly gave performances for housemates. And quite a lot of spectators gathered at them.
During his school years, Sasha was actively involved in hockey and dreamed of becoming a law enforcement officer or director. Moreover, the attraction to the power structures today is not very clear to him. And after receiving a certificate of secondary education, Gordon nevertheless decided to enter the legendary "Pike" at the acting department.
The student years were associated with the comprehension of the basics of acting and the first experience of labor activity, on which the material well-being of the novice actor depended. His debut work was an amateur group for children, where he got a job as a teacher of theatrical art. In addition, he worked as a stage editor at the theater on Malaya Bronnaya.
Interestingly, due to evasion from military service, the failed defender of the Motherland was not afraid to spend 2 weeks in the company of patients in a psychiatric hospital. Thus, the builders of Baikonur missed one labor unit, and the novice actor was able to reincarnate as a participant in a reality show into a rather complex image of a person prone to mental disorder.
And in 1987, Alexander Gordon became the proud owner of a prestigious diploma from the Shchukin School.
Personal life
The tabloids and the tabloids have always kept Alexander Gordon at their best. After all, his personal life is full of a lot of interesting thematic information. A loving man with a characteristic national identity became a participant in numerous romantic stories, around which various rumors and gossip of the public regularly flared up.
Today, in the life of a popular journalist and television presenter, there is an adored spouse and four children. And at one time he married and divorced three times.
The debut attempt to build a family nest was made in society with Maria Berdnikova, who is currently working on a Russian TV channel in the United States. In this marriage, which lasted 8 years, the eldest daughter was born.
Actress and model Nana Kiknadze for 7 years became the second wife of Alexander Gordon in the status of a common-law spouse.
Katya Prokofieva (Ekaterina Gordon) was the wife of a popular presenter for 6 years. This family idyll was destroyed in 2006.
18-year-old student Nina Schipilova in 2011 became the next wife of Gordon. The official part of the marriage was carried out in secret, which was revealed only in early spring 2012. A couple of months later, the country learned about the scandalous story associated with the birth of the illegitimate daughter of Alexander Garrievich. The girl was the result of a frivolous relationship between a journalist and a colleague in the creative workshop from Krasnodar Elena Pashkova, which took place at the Odessa Film Festival. In 2013, the marriage could not withstand the pressure of the press, and the critical difference in the age of the spouses also affected.
In 2014, the famous heartthrob again married a young student of VGIK, Nozanin Abdulvasieva. The granddaughter of Valery Akhadov (academician of the Russian film academy "Nika") gave birth to her son Alexander in the same year, and in 2017 a second boy was born, who was named Fedor.
Alexander Gordon today
The directorial and acting work of Alexander Gordon, presented at the "Kinotavr" in 2018, was described by its author as an auto-charm. The comedy "Uncle Sasha", filmed on the territory of his own house, located in the countryside, became the realization of his idea, which arose during his student years.
The director and scriptwriter in his film project realized a certain symbiosis of the works of Chekhov, Faulkner and Goncharov. And for filming, he included O. Yakovleva, A. Slya, A. Kuznetsova, N. Efremov and S. Puskepalis in the acting group. According to Gordon himself, all the characters in the picture are fully adapted to the actors who took part in the filming. Thus, this project can be considered quite unique and successful.
The last film work of Alexander Garrievich includes his participation in the filming of the acclaimed series "Fizruk". In the fall of 2019, it is planned to release the 5th season of this sitcom, where the entire actor's backbone has been preserved.
Thus, we can say for sure that Alexander Gordon has not been seen in any expensive projects with his participation, in order to assert his excellent financial position. According to him, he lives in the traditional for our country format "from paycheck to paycheck" and considers himself successful primarily in terms of creative implementation.
