A native of Omsk and a native of a creative family (father Valery Makarov is a poet and artist of the Omsk Philharmonic, and his mother Lyubov Polishchuk is People's Artist of Russia) - Alexey Valerievich Makarov - from childhood dreamed of following in the footsteps of his eminent parents. Currently, his professional portfolio includes more than six dozen films.
The creative career of Alexei Makarov since 2001, when he left the stage of the Mossovet Theater, is associated exclusively with domestic cinema. Despite the fact that after making such a decision, many thought it was wrong, the strong-willed and purposeful character of the actor allowed him to achieve a successful result with hard work.
Today Alexey Makarov is a representative of a galaxy of Russian movie stars and is at the peak of his creative career. And the image of a courageous officer, permanently entrenched in him after a number of title film projects, where he appeared in the audience's court in this capacity, did not make him an actor of one role. Indeed, his professional portfolio today also contains many films, where he had to reveal rather complex and multifaceted characters.
Biography and creative career of Alexei Makarov
On February 15, 1972, the future popular actor and successor to the famous creative dynasty was born in Omsk. At the age of four, his parents divorced, and from that time on, Alexei no longer saw his father. However, his mother was engaged in his upbringing episodically, completely devoting her life to professional activities, and not to the joys of family life. Therefore, the boarding school became his second home for the period of growing up. There, Alexey realized that his future would be connected precisely with theater and cinema, studying in a local drama club.
After receiving a certificate of secondary education, Alexey Makarov on the first attempt failed his admission to the RATI, and on the second call, without listening to his mother, who categorically objected to her son following in her footsteps, he became a student of the legendary GITIS. After graduating from a theatrical university in 1994, Alexey entered the service at the Mossovet Theater, where he appeared on stage until 2001. And then, deciding that his theatrical career was not developing properly, he completely concentrated on cinema.
For the first time on the set, Alexei Makarov came out in 1995, when he took part in the filming of the detective "On the corner, at the Patriarch's". Then his filmography began to regularly replenish with small roles, but this did not suit the artist. He worked hard to improve his acting skills, and as a result, he was not slow to prove himself. It was with the role of Major Smolin (the main character) in the action movie "Personal Number", which was released in 2004, that his powerful ascent to Olympus of the country's cinematic glory begins.
Currently, his filmography is filled with dozens of successful film works, many of which are associated with the performance of the main roles in films and TV series. There are also known television projects with his participation, among which many people remember "Fort Boyard" (2003), "Guess the melody" (2005), "Ice Age", where he danced in a duet with Anna Semenovich.
Personal life of the actor
Behind the shoulders of the family life of Alexei Makarov, there are three unsuccessful marriages and a daughter Varvara (2010) from his common-law wife Victoria Bogatyreva.
The first wife of the popular actor was Maria Speranskaya (journalist), but the marriage with her was unreasonably hasty, which is why it did not last long.
For the second time, Alexey Makarov went to the registry office with Olga Silaenkova (ballet dancer). However, this time too, lasting family happiness did not happen.
The third and last official wife of the actor was a colleague in the creative department Maria Mironova (daughter of Andrei Mironov). This time the family relationship lasted a year and a half. And since mid-2013, Alexey Makarov has been considered a bachelor, whose heart is free for new romantic relationships.
