— The interview opens with a look at the TNT program Challenge. What drew the interviewee to this project is the initial question from the conversation.
Even the project’s name sparked interest. A love of testing limits and a passion for vivid, adrenaline-fueled experiences drew them in, especially given the blend of extreme sports and dynamic emotion that the show promises.
The dialogue moves to how the show combines showbiz stars with scientists. The interviewee notes that this clash of worlds makes the project compelling. They emphasize that the cast is not made of flawless celebrities but ordinary people who happen to be part of the same team. The result is a breakthrough moment that challenges stereotypes.
Asked if they are more of a team player or a loner, the response is balanced. They see themselves as a collaborative person who can also thrive alone, but acknowledge that the nature of Challenge demands a second mind and a shared brainpower.
When the subject turns to the challenges faced during production, the interviewee explains that outcomes depend on many factors—from personal preparation to the stunt team who designs and tests each challenge. The key is to push the limits while keeping ego and emotions in check.
Dagestan is mentioned as a recurring destination. The interviewee shares fond impressions from multiple visits: hearty meals, friendly locals, and plenty of photos from welcoming streets. The experience left a positive, lasting memory.
The discussion then shifts to the Russian adaptation of the Turkish series Knock on My Door. The audition took place at Mosfilm, and plans included a Bali family retreat shortly after. Despite decades of acting in major projects, the interviewee admits some uncertainty about participating in this new venture. Filmography pages on Kinopoisk are cited as a reminder of the ongoing career trajectory.
Shooting progress is described as ongoing since May, with filming moving from indoor sets to extended on-location shoots during the summer. The project is portrayed as substantial, and pride is expressed in being part of such a major undertaking. There is confidence that the Russian adaptation will stand out even for viewers who have not seen the original.
To understand the adaptation, the interviewee watched ten episodes of the Turkish original to grasp its core. They underscore that the Russian version will not be a carbon copy, but a thoughtful adaptation with a distinct crew, a strong cast, and a compelling overall vision that will engage audiences.
Music remains a central passion. The interviewee explains that the musical path blends pop with electronic elements, embracing both styles as equals. Creative ambition includes growing in both directions, guided by a commitment to authenticity and personal joy in the work.
A collaboration with Angelina Surkova, also known as singer LEE, is described as a shared project built on fun and mutual respect. The duo treats creative work as a partnership rather than a line between work and family, with clear boundaries that keep professional and personal life harmonized.
Mentorship under producer Konstantin Meladze is recalled as a formative period. The experience brought valuable lessons, both in what to pursue and what to avoid, making the path forward feel rewarding.
Engagement announcements in mid-2022 raised questions about a potential wedding. The couple remains unfazed by rumors, emphasizing a relationship centered on mutual care rather than public opinion. Spring plans for a wedding were stated, with the caveat that the couple values a personal, intimate celebration for family more than a public spectacle. Time is trusted to reveal the true outcome.
Speculation about the wedding location is acknowledged, with the couple noting their plans but choosing not to disclose specifics. The focus is on a joyous occasion for themselves and their families rather than a global event.
The couple’s six-year-old daughter Mia is mentioned, along with the hope of a thoughtful celebration once she recovers from an illness that briefly shifted the birthday plans. A favorite, Avatar, is cited as a source of summer inspiration, and the parent’s wish to stay closely connected with their child is noted as a guiding principle for family life.
The early career boost from Star Factory is revisited. While the original format belongs to a different era, there is optimism that a modern collaboration featuring a legendary lineup could create a very successful new season.
Finally, reflections on the BiS period are shared. The interviewee characterizes that chapter as a bright and influential phase, highlighting the strong fan affection and the ways in which growth often comes from challenges and learning moments along the way.
