Young actress Ksenia Surkova has been acting in films since she was 7 years old. After graduating from VGIK, the girl suffered for a long time from lack of demand in the profession, until her finest hour came along with a role in the comedy series "Olga". Ksenia plays the daughter of the main character - a young and bitchy vocational school student Anya. She admits that she is not at all like her character, but managed to understand her character and convey it convincingly on the screen. In Surkova's personal life, everything is also going well: next to her there is a beloved and close-minded person.
short biography
Despite her young appearance and the role of teenage girls, Ksenia is a little older in life. She was born in May 1989 into an intelligent Moscow family. Since childhood, the future actress gravitated towards creativity: she studied ballet, performed in the musical group "Domisolka". At the age of 7, she first appeared on the set, playing in the short film "Friend". In 2003, the filmography of the young actress was replenished with another project - the family fairy tale "Beyond the Far East".
Having received such an unforgettable experience, Surkova did not choose for a long time who to go to study. She entered VGIK at the acting department and ended up in the workshop of Igor Yasulovich. In her second year, Ksenia was offered a role in the film "One War" directed by Vera Glagoleva. True, there was a risk that the strict teacher would not let her go to the shooting. But after reading the script for a dramatic film, Yasulovich allowed his student to act. The adult acting debut was so successful for the girl that she received awards for this work at the "Constellation" and "Amur Autumn" festivals.
In 2010, Ksenia graduated from VGIK, and her difficult path began to interesting roles and success. With work in the theater, the young actress did not work out. She played in the play of the Kazantsev and Roshchin Drama Center, but after the closure of the production she was forced to leave. The audition for the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop ended in failure for Surkova, when the artistic director and founder of the theater fell asleep while the actress performed.
With movies, things weren't much better. In order not to sit without work at all, Ksenia starred in popular television series. So her acting baggage included works in "Euphrosyne", "Closed School", "Profile of the Killer". Disappointment in the profession pushed the girl to get a job as a seller in a bookstore, but this experience brought an even greater sense of helplessness.
A trip to the United States helped Surkova cope with depression. Borrowing money from friends, she went overseas to study at the acting school of Ivana Chubbuck. This woman is known in Hollywood as the creator of a unique technique used in their work by such stars as Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie. And Chubbuck's Acting Guide is one of the best-selling publications in its area.
American installations helped Ksenia Surkova too. She again believed in herself, returned to Moscow inspired and inspired, which immediately had a beneficial effect on her work. The young actress was first approved for a role in the series "The Crisis of Tender Age", and was soon offered to play in "Olga", after which she woke up famous.
Work in the series "Olga"
When Surkova read the script about the hard life of a Russian woman from Chertanovo, she pondered for a long time about her participation. To an intelligent girl, jokes from the series seemed vulgar, and her future heroine was too distant and incomprehensible. At first, the actress did not even know how to play Anya Terentyeva. Ksenia's mother helped her with the decision. She was delighted with the script, and was able to convince her daughter to try her hand at an unusual role.
And now for three seasons Surkov in the image of Ani is a full participant in the series "Olga". When immersing herself in the role, the change in her hairstyle helped her most. Especially for filming, the actress extended her hair and dyed it red. In addition, she saw some of the traits and demeanor for Anya among the girls she knew, and also studied videos where representatives of youth similar to her communicate.
After a while, Ksenia is happy that she got into this project and was able to surprise not only the audience, but also herself. According to her observations, in the cinema, the actor is very often associated with a certain type that accompanies him in all films. Therefore, you need to appreciate when they offer to play diverse roles, to try something new, extraordinary, unfamiliar. The character of Ani made Surkova experience an unprecedented creative upsurge, when the heroine succeeded and fell in love with the audience.
Love and personal life
By the age of 30, the actress had not yet had time to acquire a husband and children. In this matter, she prefers not to rush things. Although a close and loved one takes an important place in her life. Ksenia has been happy for several years with her colleague, actor Stanislav Raskachaev. He also studied at VGIK with Igor Yasulovich, only a year younger. And young people met when Surkova taught acting in her junior year. True, feelings and relationships arose between them a little later.
After graduating from VGIK, Stanislav was accepted into the troupe of the Alexandrinsky Theater in St. Petersburg. Later he returned to Moscow and got a job at the Yermolova Theater. At the premiere screenings of films and TV series with the participation of Ksenia, you can rarely see a loved one next to her. According to the actress, Stanislav is not ready for increased attention and wants him to be interesting to journalists for his acting work, and not for the status of a guy of a famous actress.
In other matters, the lovers seem to have a complete idyll. Ksenia admitted that the love and care of Raskachaev helped her get rid of the panic attacks that the girl is susceptible to. With his appearance, finally, such an important sense of security has come. And the young man constantly motivates Surkova to go in for sports, since it can be difficult for her to force herself on her own.
If we talk globally, then in men Xenia likes purposefulness, the desire to work and achieve what was conceived. In a relationship, care and attention from the chosen one is also important to her. In addition, the girl admits that she is quite jealous, so she will never be able to forgive the betrayal. She herself tries not to sit around, develops, constantly learns something. Ideally, her loved one has a similar perception and behavior.
In her free time, the actress does not betray her creative nature and is engaged in the design and manufacture of hats, unusual items of clothing. Her mother also actively participates in this hobby, although she is a lawyer by profession. Together, the family tandem even decided to organize a small business. Another weakness of Xenia is travel. She loves to leave Moscow in order to completely reset her thoughts and feelings. Surkova categorically does not recognize routine, so she tries to do even ordinary things in a new way, to change the usual routes. In her opinion, this going beyond the framework gives a start to more global and significant changes in life.
