After the New Year, Basharov does not drink. But no one knows how long the artist will last without his favorite glass.

An actor must have a good liver

What Marat Basharov (36) has big problems with alcohol is no secret in the Russian artistic community. After all, it was he who once said: “To become famous artist, you need to have a good liver.” Basharov could go into a “tailspin” before, but now, according to people who know him, if he is at the table, he will “fall”, and not fun, but depressive.

True, Basharov’s lifestyle has not yet greatly affected his work. “He plays beautifully, comes to rehearsals exactly on time, and is never late,” said one of his partners in the play “Uncle’s Dream” at the Ermolova Theater. - Another thing is that from time to time his producer calls us: “Sorry, Marat won’t be there today, he’s busy.” Supposedly he has urgent filming. And then they tell us that they saw him drunk and barely dragged him home... We cannot demand more from him - he is not an employee of the theater, but a guest star.”

Yermolovites noted that Marat began to abuse after breaking up with the famous figure skater Tatyana Navka (35). One of Basharov’s colleagues told reporters: “It seems to me that his drunkenness today is all because of Navka, he cannot forget her. It’s unclear why they didn’t live together - they were such a wonderful couple. But we don’t ask him - why open wounds! We only see how much he worries and wants to get her back.”

An addiction to drinking cost Basharov his relationship with Tatyana Navka. The famous figure skater could not stand the artist's spree

However, some journalists claim that “alcohol” problems began much earlier, and Navka even kicked out her lover precisely because of his addiction. “It looked like this,” said the concierge of the elite house on Yakimanka, where Navka and Basharov lived. “He came home in the morning, and Tanya literally threw him and his suitcase out of the apartment. She was in terrible anger, shouting: “Get out of here!” He then came to her several times, apologized, and sat outside the door. But she didn't forgive him. I don’t know what happened there... In any case, it’s not the first light of day normal woman will not be tolerated."

Marat's ex-wife also remembers his sprees with a shudder. “It’s been a long time with him,” shared Lisa Krutsko (Basharova). “He might not show up at home for several nights in a row, then come with a “smell”, start asking for forgiveness, saying that he needed to relieve stress...”

“They offer him all the time, and Marat is now, apparently, in such emotional state, which is happy to break loose. There are a lot of people around him who want to “sit” with the star,” say Basharov’s colleagues in the theater workshop.

Alcohol abuse seriously affected the actor’s emotional state. On December 9, at the Salekhard airport, where the artist arrived on tour with an ice show, he swore at a policeman, who was too slow, in the opinion of Marat, who was checking the documents of the flight passengers. “You need to know me by sight!” - this is the most censored thing that the actor said to the man in uniform. “He smelled strongly and he could barely stand,” said witnesses to the events. True, the artist got off very lightly - he paid a fine of 500 rubles for “petty hooliganism.” And shortly before this, Basharov together with his colleague in the “Ice and Fire” project Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin started a drunken brawl near a restaurant in the very center of Moscow. So what a very a short time the popular actor became a frequent hero of scandalous chronicles.

True, after the New Year, Basharov decided to quit, probably estimating that, drinking too much at such a rate, he would quickly lose his star status. “But I’m tired of something, there’s no more joy from it,” Marat shared. - And then, it’s so cool to wake up and remember everything that happened last night. Not from the stories of strangers about what you did there, but to remember it yourself!” No one knows how long the artist will last, including himself...

The love of Gleb Samoilov and Valeria Gai Germanik was passionate, but short-lived. The green serpent has won!

Dr. Marshak did not help

Valeria Gai Germanika (26) and Gleb Samoilov (40) were one of the most shocking couples in Russia last year. However, despite all the ardent feelings, the charismatic characters broke up, and the reason for this was alcohol addiction Samoilova.

The musician’s love for alcohol reached the point that Samoilov began going on stage in a completely indecent state. Thus, at a concert in Tula, the leader of the recently formed group “Gleb Samoiloff & The Matrixx” was so “under the weather” that he started talking, lost orientation, and often sat on the floor, almost falling on it. The artist himself denied the fact of addiction: “I’m not a chronic alcoholic, I can go without drinking for months if I’m not in the mood, it’s just that sometimes life can be unbearably boring.”

It all ended with Valeria Gai Germanika taking her lover 80 kilometers from Moscow, to the famous Marshak clinic. Samoilov was unconscious. Since Gleb categorically opposed the hospital, Valeria warned the driver that if the musician came to his senses, he should pretend that they were going home. Germanika paid a little more than 25 thousand dollars for treatment. According to the agreement, she couldn’t even take Gleb from there birth mother- only the director herself. All of The Matrixx's October concerts were cancelled, and the band was on the verge of breaking up. The group had no contact with Samoilov; the phones from which the musician made calls became unavailable. Because of Germanica, the rock musician completely disappeared from the radar of possible drinking buddies.

The scandalous director herself is not distinguished by exemplary behavior. She even ended up in the hospital after taking too many pills and drinking too much alcohol.

As a result, he spent more than a month in the clinic. However, all the girl’s efforts were in vain. Upon leaving the hospital, Samoilov broke up with his girlfriend. And then he started drinking again. “I couldn’t forgive me for putting him in the hospital by force,” Germanika said. Gleb himself admitted that the decision to break up with Lera was given to him with great difficulty. But the love for drinking, apparently, turned out to be stronger than for the young director of the series “School”. Just before the New Year, several concerts of his group were disrupted due to the fact that the leader simply could not get on stage due to severe intoxication.

But Valeria is doing well, after a short break in creative activity, caused by an affair with Samoilov, she is preparing several premieres this year. Moreover, Germanika will stage her debut theatrical performance based on her biography: the plot will be based on the love story of an eccentric girl and a rock musician who has problems with alcohol.

At the same time, Valeria herself is expecting a wedding in the very near future. It’s just not clear with whom. The director said that according to the predictions of her friend, the psychic Mohsen Norouzi, she should soon get married. The winner of the last season of the “Battle of Psychics,” who, according to Germanika, was never wrong, predicted that three months after the New Year the girl would walk down the aisle.

Previously, Oleg Menshikov preferred cognac and vodka, but now he switched to champagne

Rivers of champagne

The famous actor Oleg Menshikov (50) has a long-standing relationship with the green serpent, but they say that every year this connection is becoming closer. Even his main addictions to alcohol are known. If, when he was a student at the Shchepkin Theater School, he chose Armenian cognac, then, as he grew up, he fell in love with vodka. Now, the star of “The Barber of Siberia” prefers champagne, which is less strong but no less damaging to health, to all alcoholic drinks. The actor believes that this drink helps to forget about all the accumulated problems, because when Oleg drinks, he becomes indecently cheerful.

There is talk that current wife Menshikova Anastasia Chernova (28) also became addicted to alcohol from idleness. As an actress, she is now not in demand, and the girl constantly sits at home, practically turning into the shadow of her own husband. Oleg doesn’t like this, and he increasingly disappears to relieve stress and take a break from work and his own wife. It’s difficult for a creative person to stop, and sometimes the champagne flows like a river, turning the actor into a carefree, merry fellow.

Last November, Menshikov suffered a hypertensive crisis. Due to health reasons, more than one performance was canceled, but they say that even after such a serious “call” the actor did not give up his craving for champagne.

Actor Andris Berzins admitted that he drank before the performance to cope with physical and emotional overload

How else to end stress?

In mid-December last year, the production of “Mary Stuart” directed by J.J., which was interrupted after the first act, caused a great stir in Latvia. Gilinger. On the sidelines, the reason for this was said to be that one of the leading actors of the Dailes Theater, Andris Berzins (58), went on stage in severe alcoholic intoxication. Although representatives of the theater explained the stoppage of the performance due to technical problems, most spectators were sure that Berzins simply got drunk and after the first act could no longer play.

Spectators from all over Latvia came to see one of the highest-grossing productions of last year. “At first I thought that this was part of his role - to lisp and speak with strange diction, and also interrupt other actors. But when, after the first act, they announced that the production was cancelled, it only made my husband and I laugh,” said one of the spectators.

“I was under a lot of physical and emotional strain and everything came together that day. Therefore, the production was interrupted,” Berzins explained his behavior, but when asked if he drank alcohol before the performance, the respected actor honestly admitted that he drank. “How else to end stress?” - the artist asked the journalists rhetorically.

Musician Nix Matveevs appeared drunk right on TV!

Live broadcast under the influence

However, until now no one has gone too far.

Alcoholic debauchery ended with the musician Niks Matveevs appearing in live drunk The musician said strange things indistinctly, which the whole country could admire. The host of the show somehow managed to reduce what was happening to a joke, however, when during a commercial break Matveevs wanted to leave the set without permission, he had to make great efforts to prevent this from happening. The director of the show, Karlis Anitens, simply stood in Matveev’s way and did not allow him to leave the premises.

The musician was surprised by the great resonance that his behavior caused. Matveevs himself thought that from the outside he looked quite adequate. The musician admitted that he drank, but, according to him, he only consumed three bottles of cocktail to relieve stress before the live broadcast. “Until you participate in such a show, you cannot imagine what awaits you. Live broadcasting is a huge stress,” Matveevs revealed the reasons for his breakdown.

However, soon the same thing almost happened again. True, this time the musician was already closely monitored, and when intoxication began to become noticeable, the show managers “noticed” that Nicks was constantly going backstage, where he was “refueling” with brandy. The musician's alcohol was confiscated and replaced with a cup of coffee. But Matveevs’ adventures did not end there - he unexpectedly went missing for a week, pretty much fraying the nerves of the show’s organizers. Many saw the reason in alcohol.
