Actor Sergei Bezrukov was married to actress Irina Bezrukova, and this state of affairs seemed unshakable for 15 long years.

In 2015, news of the divorce of one of the most beautiful couples Russian cinema amazed fans. The reason for Sergei's departure was new love. He went to the director and producer, playwright and screenwriter Anna Matison.

From journalist to director

Anna Matison was born in Irkutsk in 1983. Her mother was a famous Irkutsk journalist.

Anna loved mathematics very much as a child, and assumed that her life would be connected with this subject. For example, with the economy.

As a result, she entered the international faculty of Irkutsk State University.

While studying she worked part-time as a freelance correspondent on local television, and worked her way up from correspondent to program editor.

Soon, together with director Yuri Dorokhin, Anna founded the company REC.production. The company was engaged in the creation of commercials and videos. The company collaborated with large customers such as Transneft, Atomenergomash and others.

It was at this time that Anna understands what to create own worlds she is much more interested in than integrating into an existing one.

In 2008, Anna Matison decides to move to Moscow, where she enters the VGIK screenwriting department..

And in 2013 he graduated from VGIK with honors.

In 2008, Anna filmed her debut based on the script by Evgeniy Grishkovets, “The Mood Has Improved.” Grishkovets was interested in the work, and he offered cooperation to the young screenwriter.

Together with Anna they are writing a feature-length film script "Satisfaction". This film was released widely and took part in many festivals.

Together with Grishkovets, Matison worked on the documentary series “Without a Script” and on the play “Home.”

Anna Matison also wrote scripts for the films “Yolki-2”, “Yolki-3”, “Yolki-2014”. While working on the film “Milky Way,” Anna took on the position of director. She met on the set of this film. with Sergei Bezrukov.

Love and Baikal

There is an opinion that the future spouses met on the set of “Yolki-2”, where Sergei Bezrukov played one of the roles. Mathieson denies this information. She wrote the script for this film and did not interact with the artists in any way.

Anna and Sergey met on Lake Baikal, on Olkhon Island, in February 2015.

It was there that the shooting of the lyrical comedy “Milky Way” with Bezrukov in the title role took place.

Anna Matison spent a lot of time together both on and off the set. They talked a lot, built creative plans, and through these conversations their love was born.

Coincidence

It so happened that it was in March 2015 that the only son of Bezrukov’s wife, Irina Bezrukova, died. He was found in a Moscow apartment.

It was an accident - Andrei fell, hit his temple, and death occurred instantly.

At the same time, rumors about a quarrel in the Bezrukov family reached their peak. They said that Sergei did not come to his stepson’s funeral, that he had caught his wife cheating, and many other unpleasant things.

Irina put an end to this story. Her original program “Conversation on Stage” was aired on the channel “360” near Moscow.

The first guest of the program was her then-ex-husband Sergei Bezrukov. At the end of the interview, Irina handed Sergei a blank sheet of paper.

Later Irina gave frank interview magazine “Hello!”, where she spoke about the state of affairs in their family. Yes, she and Sergei are divorced, but they are still connected by a common cause - Moscow Provincial Theater, Fund for Support of Sociocultural Projects, which they created together with Irina.

And she gave me a blank sheet of paper ex-husband as a symbol that now his life can begin with clean slate.

Life from scratch with Anna Matison

In 2016, the couple got married. Now Sergei Bezrukov and Anna Matison are raising common daughter Maria.

In addition to family matters, Bezrukov and Matison developed a creative union. In March 2017, their joint film “After You” with Sergei in the title role was released. This time Anna took a swing at the drama, and largely due to the fact that she wrote the script for Bezrukov.

Previously, when the script was written for an unknown actor, Anna limited herself in many ways, because she was not sure whether the artist could cope with the proposed task. She is confident in Bezrukov. In her opinion, Sergei can play anything.

The film “After You” is a poignant story about a ballet dancer who ended his career.

Anna paid a lot of attention before classical music in his creativity. She took off documentary about his fellow countryman, pianist Denis Matsuev, about Valery Gergiev, collaboration with the Mariinsky Theater.

Sergei Bezrukov calls this film Anna's gift. He always loved to dance, and in choreography classes at the Moscow Art Theater School he was among the first at the ballet barre.

In the film, 90% of the dances are performed by Bezrukov himself. In this role famous actor no one has seen it yet.

It is known that in the first marriage it was not possible to give birth to a child. Sergei and Irina Bezrukova tried for a long time, tried all treatment methods, but it was all in vain.

Therefore, the birth of daughter Masha in 2016 was the main gift for Sergei.

Outside of the director's stage, Anna is a very homely, gentle person. “Family comes first, it’s not even frowned upon.”

Anna Matison does not use the services of a nanny, believing that the child should spend as much time as possible with his parents.

The mother’s profession allows her to work at home, but even when filming, the Bezrukovs took their daughter with them. She had her own trailer. The actors joke: “On set, Masha is the only one who has a rider.”

New wife Sergei Bezrukov. Who is she?
And this is Anna Matison.
Until last summer, only an experienced theater and film connoisseur could say who Anna Matison was.

But after several publications about Sergei Bezrukov, which said that new lover The actor and director may be Anna Matison, her fame began to grow by leaps and bounds.

This was facilitated by a popular photo report in the magazine “7 Days” at the end of 2015 and a glamorous photo shoot by Bezrukov and Matison in the February issue of Elle.

And yesterday it swept through the media unexpected news like a bolt from the blue. Allegedly, on March 11, Sergei Bezrukov and Anna Matison registered their marriage in one of the Moscow registry offices.

A seemingly reliable marriage with Irina Livanova did not end on the most joyful note. However, Sergey Bezrukov I wasn't single for long. His guiding star became a new life Anna Mathison. The young people legalized their relationship without inviting anyone to the celebration, and without even providing .

Remembering the actor’s first works, even then it was noticeable that he was too loving, so his early marriage to Irina left no doubt about going to the left. This was confirmed in 2014, when the artist’s illegitimate children, daughter Alexandra and son Ivan, came to public attention.

The young people were introduced to each other back in the winter of 2011, and in 2015 they continued their acquaintance in the vastness of Lake Baikal while working on the film “The Milky Way”.

However, according to the assumptions of the couple's relatives and friends, such public people passed quietly and unnoticed, and most importantly, suddenly indicates that the couple may have been expecting a new addition.

Let us wish them many years together, creative success and health to Bezrukov’s little heiress.

A film in which the surnames of director Anna Matison and actor Sergei Bezrukov will appear side by side in the credits for the first time, Sergei and Anna told 7 Days magazine about their first meeting, about their trip to Baikal to film the film “Milky Way,” about the appearance of a young actress with the surname Bezrukova in Russian cinema, and also shared their plans for the future.

- Sergey, in Anna Matison’s film “The Milky Way” you played the main role. How did you meet?

Bezrukov: In February of this year, my long-time friend, producer Alexey Kublitsky, with whom we worked together on the film “Vysotsky. Thank you for being alive,” he suggested reading Anna Matison’s script. I liked it, very sincere, unlike the standard ones New Year films. There was something from the auteur cinema that I always wanted to act in. But for some reason I had never been offered this before. Maybe they're afraid of me. They probably think Sergey Bezrukov, then he only stars in blockbusters. “Okay,” I said to Alexei. “Let’s meet with the director, get to know each other, and discuss.”

- Were you surprised when you found out that the scriptwriter and director was a young woman?

Bezrukov: My very first director in 1993 in the film “Nocturne for Drum and Motorcycle” was Karine Foliyants. I have no prejudices in this regard at all; I don’t think that films should be made exclusively by men.

- Does the age of the director matter?

Bezrukov: None! I starred with Alyosha Sidorov in “Brigade”. This was his first film work. It would seem that, complicated story, a gangster saga can only be completed by an experienced person who has already gone through fire and water. But Lesha is from Severodvinsk; by that time, despite his very young age, he had probably experienced a lot in life. And he made an amazing big movie. And Anya, in comparison with him then, is already an experienced director, she has several documentaries and the film “Satisfaction” with Evgeniy Grishkovets. This picture made a very strong impression on me at the time.

- Anna, did it help that Bezrukov liked your first film?

Mathison: I didn’t know whether Sergei had seen “Satisfaction” or not. Therefore, there was some uncertainty. Whatever they say, at the first meeting there is almost always some bias towards the female director. Therefore, I always prefer that they first look at my work, and then get acquainted with it in person. I remember well - on the day when Sergei made an appointment for us in Moscow Provincial Theater, the same producer Alexey Kublitsky and I were at first in other negotiations. And between these meetings, I asked Alexey to take me home to change clothes. He asked: “Why? You look good". And I just wanted to avoid attracting attention as much as possible.
