Director Sergei Prokhanov said that as the artistic director of the Moon Theater, the appearance of the actresses is very important to him. On the air of the program “Secret to a Million” on the NTV channel, he admitted that he weighed his employees and fined him kilograms, which, according to them, was unnecessary.
“I didn’t even pay them for their performance if they exceeded 53 kilos,” said Prokhanov.
He also remembered how he scolded Anastasia Stotskaya for eating cake. When the young artist came to work in Prokhanov’s studio, he demanded that he be 10 centimeters thinner from the waist.
