Actor Alexey Chadov recently shared a surprising childhood memory on the television program Will Show, recounting how he accidentally watched German erotic films with his grandmother. The detail came from TNT TV channel’s press service, reported to socialbites.ca.
Chadov explained that his grandmother preferred taking him to mature, thought-provoking cinema during his early years. On one occasion she selected the German adaptation of the Strugatsky brothers’ story It’s Hard to Be a God, intending a family viewing that would be both meaningful and entertaining for the grandchildren.
He described the experience with a mix of humor and disbelief, saying, “We went to It’s Hard to Be a God and it was a brutal, explicit film. It felt like the most hardcore erotica of its time. You should have heard my grandmother swearing then.” The anecdote drew laughs as he recalled the moment and the reaction from the elder relative.
It’s Hard to Be a God, released in 1989 as a joint production involving Germany, France, the Soviet Union and Switzerland, surprised audiences with its provocative scenes. The Strugatsky writers themselves reportedly did not approve of the film’s interpretation and urged the project to be handled by a Soviet director, a point noted by film historians when discussing the production’s reception and its cross-border collaboration during that era.
In a related development, Nikita Presnyakov’s grandmother recently clarified whether the artist intends to have children, a personal topic that has surfaced in various media discussions. The public interest surrounding family plans continues to attract attention to the broader question of how public figures navigate private life in the spotlight.
Earlier, comedian Evgeny Petrosyan and his wife Tatyana Brukhunova publicly discussed the baptism of their young daughter, a personal milestone that was acknowledged in media coverage. These kinds of family disclosures often prompt conversations about the balance between public curiosity and private affairs among public figures and their families.
