Actor Sergei Bezrukov posted on his Instagram that he managed to catch about 17 fish during a break in the TV series Moment of Truth, with a few extras joining the tally on the set. The social update drew attention to a playful moment that unfolded beside a river, where the filming crew allowed a simple, spontaneous fishing activity to become part of the day’s rhythm.
It felt good to shoot in a location with flowing water and a clear mission to fish. The gear was modest—a basic rod, a stick for support, and a handmade float. Yet it proved effective. The extras were tasked with fishing, and Bezrukov joined them, moving between takes to reel in fish. He joked that he had caught everyone and that the record had been broken that day, adding a light note to the shoot’s atmosphere.
Earlier, it became public that a documentary series titled Whose Heart Beats Higher would mark the 50th anniversary of Sergei Bezrukov’s remarkable career as a People’s Artist of Russia. The release date was set for October 18. The project embraces an atmospheric, observational portrait approach, and it was directed by Anna Matison. Filming took place during rehearsals for performances and during the actor’s training in acting, offering viewers a candid look at the craft and discipline behind the scenes.
The series promises to illuminate Bezrukov’s view of the acting profession, tracing how his understanding of the craft has evolved over the years. It also revisits his student days, highlights the influence of key mentors, and explores the balance between cinema and theatre that has defined his professional life. The narrative aims to reveal the daily realities, challenges, and rewards that accompany a performer whose career spans both stage and screen.
In other moments from his public appearances, there have been light-hearted exchanges involving fellow celebrities. A recent interaction featured Larisa Guzeeva reacting to comments about Pugacheva following an amusing moment with Shufutinsky, illustrating how pop culture conversations often weave through the world of entertainment in Russia.
