Ivan Urgant born April 16, 1976 in Russia's domestic film and theater actor, TV presenter Andrew Urgant and comedy actress Valery Kiselev. Grandson actors Nina Urgant and Leo Milindera.

In school, he had many troubles, because Ivan was an upstart and fidget. Up to 5 years Ivan lived with his parents in a small room in the house at the corner of Nevsky and Foundry avenues, and then moved together to his grandparents in a two-room apartment on the canal Griboedova.

Ivan was in good company, he immediately made friends who did not drink or smoke, foul language is not cursed and all that is demanded of Urgant. They helped Ivan experienced parental divorce, taught philosophically to perepitiyam life.

'Today, almost all of them live abroad. Who in Israel, who in Holland, who in Germany. Only one lives in St. Petersburg, even in the same yard. We do not support the relationship, but if I met them, I would have fallen at their feet: they have done so much for me! Thanks to them I know for sure that we never perish '- speaks showman.

. First earnings - 3 rubles 50 kopecks (chopped ice from the restaurant 'Seagull' in Leningrad) - spent the plate Rolling Stones
. In 15 years, visited the exchange in the U.S..

After that, he graduated from high school at the State Russian Museum, and went immediately to the 2 year St. Petersburg Academy of Theatrical Arts.

Studying at the Academy, along with actress Alisa Freundlich played in the performance of GABDT. BDT "Macbeth," where Alice Brunovna played Lady Macbeth, and Ivan - guard N12.
Since the money in the theater brought a little, Ivan began working in nightclubs. In one - a bartender, in the other - led strip show under the pseudonym of Jean-Michel, sang Spanish songs.

Already apartment and bought the famous House on the Embankment, which he himself calls it nesting because the apartment under the roof - before there were art workshops. From the windows overlooking the Kremlin, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the famous Seven Sisters. This is a weak replacement of native Peter, but a compelling illustration of the new status of Ivan.

He himself refers to it simply: 'In St. Petersburg you can live in the heart, and it will mean nothing - except that you live there. In Moscow these komandarmovskih homes can not be random people. This certificate is your proximity to money, power. But I went to this apartment accident. I fought for it, no one subscribed to the cemetery. The only reason why I find this particular sign - a sign of fate or something: the ease with which I got this apartment, I regard as a tribute to my ancestors undervalued - his father and grandmother!

. Autobiography
.
. I was born in 1978 in Leningrad, a young actor's family
. Less than a year, as a young actor's family fell apart, but then I decided to become an artist. During the years of standing behind the scenes, spying in the dressing room of the great artists who play with fake beards and envy Fede Stukov, this desire grew strong and grew in me. Actor should be able to all: - often said to my father, playfully razdelyvaya Pig carcass. Therefore, the number of my childhood hobbies all the time grew nearer to the number 'three'. Music, sports and songs Mikhail Boyarsky - here, perhaps, those three pillars on which rested my childhood.

. After graduating high school at the State Russian Museum, I was surprised to find himself in the second year the St. Petersburg Academy of Theatrical Art
. But what about the first:? - I asked his master, People's Artist of Russia A. YU. Tolubeev. Everything is fine! ", - Said the master, slyly winking pictures of my father. Finding the course of other actors' children, I realized that the master of a sly wink photographs of many artists.

Studying at the Academy, I, along with the beautiful and my favorite actress A. Freundlich has played in the play GABDT them. G. A. BDT 'Macbeth', where Alice Brunovna played Lady Macbeth, and I - the guard? 12. Since then, many years had passed, but I always remember the warmth of those four performances.

Soon, in my rebellious youth knocked crooked arm needs. I began to forget the text and confuse the staging. Toothless grin hunger writhed then one or the other wings. I began to look with interest at the beckoning signs nightclubs. Starting to work in one of them as a waiter, in another I was singing Spanish songs, and the third was to conduct night shows, where the only clothed person on stage was I. Retreat:! - Angrily shouted after me master, but I answered him the words of his character from the play 'Macbeth', then there is silence.
.
. Two years devoting staring at his own reflection in the bottles with expensive brandy and glowing eyes of moths, I left this abode of vice, and becoming a free artist, recalled one of his childhood passion - music.
.
. With the direct participation of the singer Maxim Leonidova, my father and myself, I recorded an album of his own songs on the CD, which has since become an ornament to my music library
. This story about his own musical achievements I am torn because the tears poured manuscript:

In 1999, the fate for me, opened the gate leading to the wonderful world of St. Petersburg Radio. For six months I worked at the radio station 'Radio Special', where the number of listeners approximately equal to the number of DJs. In parallel to the St. Petersburg Channel Five television I had the program 'Petersburg Courier', which is telling us about the difficult routine of confectioneries, woodworking plants and tourist companies. In general, devoted himself entirely to high art. Then 'Super-radio' has given way to cnachala 'Russian Radio', and then - 'Hit-FM', and the fifth channel gave way to channel MTV.

. Now I live in Moscow at the weekend leaving for St. Petersburg and continue to inscribe more new chapter in that story you just read.
