Maxim received a place in the cast of the picture on the 6th attempt, and after the first trials, Shakhnazarov completely crossed out the applicant from the list, considering the actor’s game to be weak. However, subsequent viewings dispelled doubts, and he said that he did not see anyone else in the role of Vronsky.

Matveev received an invitation and, in a kind of continuation of the story about tragic love- in the drama "Anna Karenina. History of Vronsky. This time, fate brings Vronsky to the son of his beloved woman in a military hospital.

The picture about the dancer-adventurer was filmed with the participation of American and French filmmakers. Matveev spent a month in San Diego, where he improved his English at a language school. Upon graduation, the actor received a certificate and boasted a corresponding photo on the social network. And the Japanese neighbor and the family that received Maxim did not find out that they lived in the same house with the star of Russian cinema.


In 2010, the couple legalized the relationship, and in 2012, Liza gave birth to a son, Andrei. Maxim Matveev and Liza Boyarskaya were considered one of the most exemplary and touching couples in Russian show business, but in 2016 there was a rumor that the actors had not lived together for several months and were preparing for a divorce.


The press referred to an anonymous source in the St. Petersburg Maly Drama Theater, who claimed that love in a married couple had come to naught. The same rumors were confirmed in the Moscow Art Theater, where Maxim plays, and they even complained about his experiences due to problems in the family.

Elizaveta Boyarskaya openly said that the rumors were not believable, but refrained from further comments. The situation was clarified by a relative Ekaterina Boyarskaya. The woman told the press that doubts about the marriage of Matveev and Boyarskaya arise due to the fact that the actors live in 2 cities, because Elizabeth works at the MDT in St. Petersburg, and Maxim works at the Moscow Art Theater in Moscow.


Spouses see each other infrequently and it happens that they do not live together, but not because of faded feelings, but because of a busy work schedule.

“Lisa has a very large baggage, which is difficult for her to drop and move to Moscow. And I'm a man, and work is even more important for me than for a woman. So we made a promise to ourselves not to give up. And then, we understand that each of us has ambitions that are difficult to discard, and we don’t need to do this.

In their free time, Liza and Maxim go to see each other and do not spare money and time for this.

According to Ekaterina, the couple is not only not getting a divorce, but is also seriously thinking about a second child, because, as time has shown, children do not interfere with the creative growth of actors at all. Indeed, in the fall of 2018, Maxim's wife went to maternity leave. It is known that the family is expecting the birth of a second son.

Maxim Matveev now

AT historical drama"Union of Salvation" Matveev appears in the image of the founder of the eponymous secret society, the future Decembrist Sergei Trubetskoy. The producer of the picture set out to tell not about the events familiar from textbooks on Senate Square, but about what motivated the representatives of the nobility who risked opposing the tsar. He starred in the role of the latter.


The biographical tape “Together with, Maxim appeared in the film almanac “About Love. Only for adults”, which closed the festival “Kinotavr”. Matveev had a chance to play a star, from which a fanatical fan in performance wants to have a baby. The woman's husband is not against it, but no one asks the opinion of the protagonist. The actor, by his own admission, took part in a project that parodies the behavior of celebrities with pleasure.

In the summer of 2018, Maxim's filmography was replenished main role in the crime drama "Player". Matveev's character is a talented mathematician whose gift is not used for the benefit of science: the man has developed a scheme to cheat the casino. The hero falls into the hands of gambling tycoons and begins to play not with chips, but with human destinies.


According to rumors, in his youth, the artist was fond of playing poker and, as unnamed friends told the press, visited gaming club, but later gave up this addiction. In preparation for the role of Stavrogin in Possessed, he studied gambling addiction as a disease.

AT crisis years the scriptwriter and the composer who wrote the music for the film worked in the casino.

The Trigger series is introduced to the European market television projects in Cannes.

After five and a half years of official marriage, one of the most beautiful couples domestic cinema is close to divorce. For several months, Elizaveta and Maxim have been living separately: Boyarskaya has finally moved to St. Petersburg in an apartment on the Moika, and Matveev still lives in Moscow. The couple bought a four-room apartment in the north-east of the capital together - shortly after the birth of their son Andrei. “StarHit” learned the details of the secret separation of the acting couple.

dad vs.

Recently, Boyarskaya and Matveev have given more than one reason to doubt the ideality of their married life. The actress celebrated her 30th birthday in December last year in a restaurant in St. Petersburg without her husband, in the company of several friends - Ksenia Rappoport, Danila Kozlovsky - and parents. Now it is Mikhail Sergeevich and Larisa Luppian who help her raise her 4-year-old son Andrei in St. Petersburg. And it is they who insist that the couple does not formalize the divorce yet.

“Lisa and Maxim broke up a few months ago,” an employee of the St. Petersburg MDT Sergey Turuntsev tells StarHit. - Everything is mutual, it just seems that love has passed over the years ... Perhaps life in two cities has done its job - after all, Lisa and Maxim had a non-standard marriage. Of course, Liza could not hide the fact of a break with her husband from her colleagues, relations with Maxim were important part her life. When one of the artists drew attention to the fact that she came to the theater without a wedding ring, she did not deny that her union with Matveev had come to an end. I know that they even recently wanted to legally divorce - but Lisa's dad, Mikhail Boyarsky, sharply opposed this - they say, you need to observe the image ideal family, no matter what. Or maybe he still hopes that his daughter and Maxim will endure everything again, fall in love ... The father now helps her with her grandson - he often walks with him, takes him to developmental courses, and in the evening does homework with Andryusha.

Elizabeth herself is actively filming in Anna Karenina by Karen Shakhnazarov in St. Petersburg. And recently, the film "Contribution" was released, where she and her husband played one of the main roles. Even then, colleagues of the stars suspected something was wrong. “Lisa and Maxim are very professional people, so personal relationships at work did not affect them in any way. Yes, and they tried not to discuss their family problems on the site, although many were aware that it is difficult to hide such things, ”actor Daniil Lebedev, who worked with the couple on the set of the film Contribution last year, comments on StarHit.

The Moscow Art Theater is also aware of the discord in famous family. “Maxim has always been secretive, and after breaking up with Lisa, he completely retreated into himself,” Olga Salnikova, make-up artist at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater, told StarHit. - At first, I couldn’t get together at the rehearsals - I missed some comments, but we are all people, so we treated all this with understanding. We try not to touch on the topic of his relationship with his wife, he himself asked to refrain from commenting on this matter in his presence. But he did not hide from his colleagues that he and Lisa were no longer together. Of course, they will figure it out themselves, no one climbs. We all hope this is temporary. Especially since they have a very small son, Maxim does not have a soul in him and is now very worried that Andryusha has moved back with his mother to St. Petersburg. And besides, so many months have passed since they broke up, and they still do not file for divorce - so maybe there is still a chance.

Alone again

All free time, which the actress has little due to her employment in the cinema and theater, Boyarskaya tries to spend with her son Andrei. Apparently, there is no time to cook, so Elizaveta prefers to order food delivery at her favorite St. Petersburg restaurant, Smelt.

“Liza often turns to us, asking us to bring food for two people: lunch for the child and for herself. For my son, I took noodles with quail egg, chicken cutlets with mashed potatoes, and for dessert - strawberry ice cream. I mostly ordered food for myself. Georgian cuisine– she loves khinkali with lamb, as well as our signature shawarma with chicken thigh and spicy satsebeli sauce, ”Saida from the delivery service shared with StarHit.

Sometimes Boyarskaya leaves her son to his parents and allows himself to have some fun. Usually, together with her friends, she spends the evening at the Poizon karaoke bar on Rubinstein Street opposite the MDT. “Lisa is a frequent visitor to us. Very nice mademoiselle. Loves our shorts. On the dance floor, it comes off no worse than other visitors, not embarrassed by anyone around. He often chooses the songs of the ABBA group, ”Mikhail, the host of the karaoke bar, told StarHit.

In addition to parents, the actress is helped by a nanny, whom she hired relatively recently, to raise a baby. A middle-aged woman takes care of her child every day English language, reading, takes to the sports and music sections near the house. Maxim, of course, visits his son - and, in order to avoid rumors of a breakup, every time after his visit to in social networks Boyarskaya there are joint photographs with an already ex-husband.

Lisa Boyarskaya's husband Maxim Matveev is divorcing his wife! The reason for this is the novel by Liza Boyarskaya and her longtime friend Danila Kozlovsky. Is it true or not? And why, with such persistent rumors about discord in the Boyarsky-Matveev family, the spouses continue to delight their fans with joint family photos of 2016, where Liza Boyarskaya and Maxim Matveev and their son look quite happy? The whole truth about the star divorce is in our material.

Beauty and ... beauty: Liza Boyarskaya before and after rhinoplasty

“Lisa Boyarskaya before and after nose surgery” - only the “lazy” yellow edition did not place a photo with such headings on its pages. Why the girl, in whom everything in her image was always harmonious, decided to go under the knife of a cosmetic surgeon, is well known. Perfection, as they say, has no limits, so the young actress wanted to become even more spectacular, more attractive. I must admit, these are daughters famous parents, succeeded one hundred percent. Plastic only emphasized the aristocratic, sophisticated appearance of the artist. No wonder not so long ago Boyarskaya was offered the role of one of the most famous Russian aristocrats in literature - Anna Karenina.

The star of the film "Admiral" herself does not comment on the fact that she resorted to plastic surgery. Although carefully looking at the before and after photos surgical intervention, it is impossible not to notice: the nose of a celebrity has become more chiselled. Many even talk about the similarity of Boyarskaya's new nose with Michael Jackson's nose. While the earlier pictures clearly show that the nose of the future celebrity was not so "doll" and is very similar to the nose of her mother, actress Larisa Luppian.

Plastic surgeons are sure: the actress has resorted to at least two rhinoplasty operations. First, the star gave the nose a more refined outline, and then reduced its tip, making it more upturned. Experts believe that not only the nose of the daughter of the most famous D'Artagnan of Russian cinema, but also the lips underwent cosmetic plastic surgery.

A noticeable "constriction" on Elizabeth's upper lip is likely to have appeared as a result of plastic surgery. Many also note that the cheekbones of the actress have become more chiseled, expressive. Perhaps Lisa should be grateful for this nature and the age-related changes, which quite naturally occur to every woman at the age of 30. Or maybe the gurus of facial plastics helped the artist in this? Boyarskaya herself questions about plastic surgery does not comment at all.

The new look of one of the most sought after Russian actresses conquered the Meladze brothers, who filmed the St. Petersburg beauty in three of their videos at once - “The Light of the Departing Sun”, “My Promised Heaven” and “My Brother”. AT latest work Lisa Boyarskaya appeared in the frame with fellow actresses Yulia Snigir and Victoria Isakova.

Scandal-2016: Liza Boyarskaya and Maxim Matveev are getting divorced because of Danila Kozlovsky

More recently new year photo a family famous actors looked so happy! But suddenly, like a bolt from the blue: Liza Boyarskaya and Maxim Matveev are getting divorced! And because of whom! Insiders claim that the reason for the breakup of one of the most beautiful couples in Russian cinema was close friend Lisa, and in the not so distant past also her lover, Danila Kozlovsky.

In their youth, Lisa Boyarskaya and Danila Kozlovsky had an affair

The beginning of the scandal was the shooting of Liza Boyarskaya in Danila Kozlovsky's film project "Status: Free". The actress herself in an interview repeatedly said that when Danya (as Boyarskaya calls the actor) invited her to participate in the filming of a new film, she agreed without hesitation. I didn't even read the script. But in vain! The script of the film was very reminiscent of everything that happens in reality. A third person intervenes in the relationship between a guy and a girl in love ... But the abandoned hero of Danila Kozlovsky does not agree to put up with the departure of his beloved girl, deciding at all costs to return the love of the heroine Lisa Boyarskaya.

Maybe the actress's husband, Maxim Matveev, took the hint and did not want to interfere with his wife's "playing love" with the star of "Legends No. 17" and "Crew"? The theater brethren, who know Maxim Matveev well and are aware of the state of affairs in the Boyarsky-Matveev family, say that there really is a gap between the artists. The couple has already moved on. Now Matveev lives in Moscow, and his famous wife lives in St. Petersburg. Unfortunately, the gap is not in the best way affected the work in the theater of the still husband of Elizabeth. Matveev is an actor of the Moscow Art Theatre.

« Maxim was always secretive, and after parting with Lisa, he completely retreated into himself. At first, at rehearsals, he could not get together in any way - he missed some comments, but we are all people, so we treated all this with understanding. We try not to touch on the topic of his relationship with his wife, he himself asked to refrain from commenting on this matter in his presence. But he didn’t hide from colleagues that he and Lisa were no longer together, ”

Liza Boyarskaya and Maxim Matveev met New Year 2016 together

In addition, one very important detail did not escape the public. At the premiere of the film "Status: free" Liza Boyarskaya appeared without a wedding ring. Many saw this as the final break between the actress and her husband. Boyarskaya herself was able to explain this:

“We have very busy schedules, we do not go to events, preferring to spend time at home with the child. We don't wear wedding rings- this is generally a personal matter of each person ... This is our natural way of life. There is no cause for concern»

But journalists bend their line, continuing to trumpet that Liza Boyarskaya and her husband, Maxim Matveev, do not get divorced only because the actress’s father, Mikhail Boyarsky, forbids them to do this. Like, you need to observe the external family well-being, not to wash dirty linen in public. For this reason, after every weekend, when her husband visits Lisa with her little son in St. Petersburg, idyllic artists appear on Instagram family photos. “Let everyone think that everything is fine with us” is the motto of the Matveev-Boyarskaya couple.

Despite the gap, Liza Boyarskaya and Maxim Matveev continue to act together

The first wife of Maxim was also a "servant of Melpomene" - actress Jana Sexte. Although according to external data, the ex-wife of the Stilyag star was clearly losing to her rival from the famous acting dynasty, but still, Yana could not even think that her adored husband would betray her love so treacherously, crossing out everything that was between them.

Childhood and family of Maxim Matveev

Maxim Alexandrovich Matveev was born on July 28, 1982 in the city of Svetly, Kaliningrad Region. His relatives, simple Soviet workers, were far from the world of art.


Mom Lyudmila Vladimirovna is a philologist, worked as a librarian. native father the boy did not know. The upbringing of the boy was mainly carried out by his grandfather, who, according to the memoirs of the actor, had golden hands. “He asked me to draw what I want. I drew, and three hours later my grandfather made a toy according to my sketch, ”said Maxim.


Maxim's grandmother worked as a usher at a local cinema and, of course, let her grandson through all the screenings for free. There the boy got acquainted with many masterpieces of the Hollywood film industry, but the strongest impression on him was made by “ star Wars". For a long time in his fantasies, he imagined himself a Jedi with a laser sword at the ready.

When Maxim was 10 years old, his mother found new love, and the young man had a stepfather, a sailor by profession. In 1992, the family moved to Saratov, to the homeland of her husband, where Maxim had a half-brother Volodya.

Maxim studied well at school, graduated with a silver medal. He was a rather withdrawn child: he almost did not communicate with anyone, at breaks he preferred not to play with his peers, but to prepare homework. But by the senior classes, a rebellious spirit woke up in him: he grew long hair and started listening to heavy metal.

As a child, Maxim Matveev wanted to become a surgeon, then he got the idea to become a swordsman. However, creativity has always been an important part of his life. In his youth, he attended art school, later to the lessons visual arts added extracurricular activities acting skills.

He couldn't decide what he wanted to do. adulthood, and his parents simply put him before the fact: "You are acting as a lawyer." But then the course of his fate was changed by Mr. Chance.

Carier start

In the senior class, Matveev decided to take part in a couples competition at the theater department of the Saratov Conservatory. It was there that the theater teacher Vladimir Smirnov drew attention to him, suggesting that the guy try his hand at acting. Heeding the advice, he submitted documents and immediately became a second-year student at the theater department of the Saratov Conservatory. Thanks to the efforts of his teacher Valentina Ermakova, Maxim quickly improved his skills, rejecting numerous offers to appear in commercials, photo shoots, or even an adult film (they offered him that too!). As a result, for his graduation performances "God's Clown" and "Don Juan" Maxim received the highest marks from the members of the commission.

Having received a diploma from the Saratov Conservatory, Maxim tried his luck at the Moscow Art Theater School. He, a modest boy from Saratov, went to the capital without much preparation, in his own words, the listening material was one-sided. When the examiners asked if he had prepared anything else, Maxim replied: “No, but soon!”. The next morning, after a sleepless night, he came fully armed, and he was asked to dance. He was sure that he had failed, but the talented young man found a place on the course of Igor Zolotovitsky and Sergey Zemtsov.


In parallel with his studies, Maxim Matveev began to perform frequently on stage.

The character was important for the plot, and the fee for shooting would be enough for a four-room apartment in Moscow. But Maxim heeded the words of Zolotovitsky, who convinced his ward not to rush, but to study diligently. The actor himself understood this, for whom a place in the Moscow Art Theater already meant more than the fleeting glory of a serial handsome man.


Maxim's first film role was Valery Todorovsky's tape "Vice", and a year later, the audience saw him in "Stilyagi", a motley musical by the same director with Anton Shagin and Oksana Akinshina.

And after 2014, Maxim Matveev began to be recognized on the street as Nikolai Stavrogin from the mini-series of Vladimir Khotinenko "Demons", a film adaptation of Dostoevsky's work of the same name, on which the actor worked together with the already well-known Anton Shagin, Sergey Makovetsky and Maria Lugova.


In the same year, he starred in the film adaptation of Sergei Minaev's novel The Heifers, and also appeared in the sports drama They Played for the Motherland.

At the beginning of 2017, viewers could enjoy the performance of Maxim Matveev in two major projects at once. The first is a multi-part film adaptation of the biography of the spy dancer Mata Hari, played by the Frenchwoman Vaina Giocante. Maxim Matveev himself appeared in the image of Captain Vladimir Maslov, in love with a beautiful girl.


A month after the premiere of the series "Mata Hari", the public was presented with Karen Shakhnazarov's series "Anna Karenina" (although its shooting ended earlier). Maxim Matveev played Alexei Vronsky, but the role of his beloved, Anna Karenina, was played by Elizaveta Boyarskaya.


The main competitor of the actor was Konstantin Kryukov, but since Lisa was approved for the role of Anna before casting for the role of Vronsky, Maxim had an advantage - he and his wife did not have to "play out" and play passion. “Playing love with a wife is much easier than with any other actress,” Maxim shared in an interview. Personal life of Maxim Matveev The first wife of Matveev was the Latvian actress Jana Sexte, with whom the actor for a long time played in a theatre. Their creative collaboration quickly grew into a stormy romance, which in turn transformed into a short marriage. In 2008, young people legalized their relationship, and a year later they parted.


After the end of the affair with his first wife, Maxim Matveev began dating actress Lisa Boyarskaya. In mid-2010, celebrities got married, and in April 2012 the couple had a son, Andrei.


Lisa Boyarskaya is a rather secretive character. She talks little and reluctantly about her personal life in interviews. Joint shots with her husband rarely appear on her pages on social networks, and the couple did not introduce their son Andrei to the public for several years. The actress managed to talk to Kira Proshutinskaya, the author and host of the TV program “Wife. Love Story”, which airs on the TV Center channel. Especially for this program, Boyarskaya told the story of her acquaintance and romance with her future husband, actor Maxim Matveev.

Many people think that the couple first saw each other on the set of the drama I Won't Tell (2010), where they were to play a young couple on the verge of breaking up. In fact, Lisa and Maxim met three years earlier, when both participated in the auditions for the film "1612". And although the tests were unsuccessful, Boyarskaya remembered them for the rest of her life. There she first drew attention to her future husband. As Lisa later recalled, she fell in love with him at first sight, as "fell into some kind of abyss."

True, embarrassment and confusion did not allow the girl to take the first step towards rapprochement and acquaintance. Then the young people did not see each other for several years. In 2008, Matveev managed to marry actress Yana Sexta, with whom he worked together at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater.

Having met again on the set of “I won’t tell”, Lisa and Maxim could no longer hide that they liked each other. In a short filming period of less than three weeks, they spent a lot of time together, walking, talking, rehearsing. Recognizing each other, the actors realized that they were close in spirit, they looked at many things the same way.

Then Boyarskaya was reproached more than once in connection with married man. In an interview with Kira Proshutinskaya, the actress admitted that Matveev himself took the initiative in developing relations. And if not for this fact, Lisa would never have been the first to seek him or any other man.

Soon Maxim filed for divorce, and in 2010 he married Boyarskaya. The ceremony was modest and did not fit into the ideas of traditional weddings. The bride and groom came to the painting in casual clothes, and for the festive banquet Lisa chose a short cocktail dress.
