One person! Anastasia Zavorotnyuk with her daughter. Anastasia Zavorotnyuk: “I don’t trust anyone like Zavorotnyuk’s daughters and daughter joint photo shoots

But when eldest daughter Anna entered the university and went to study in New York and London, Anastasia realized that she was not yet ready for such a separation from her daughter. Moreover, over the past few years, they have also become the closest friends who trust each other. hidden secrets go shopping together and visit beauty salons. About mutual trust, similarity in views and family life, mother and daughter told OK!

Anastasia Zavorotnyuk and her 19-year-old daughter Anna do not look like a mother and daughter, but rather like sisters. Now Anna is a real copy of her feminine, stylish mother. But a few years ago, the girl did not recognize any dresses, preferring ripped jeans and gothic style. “When Anechka was little, I bought a huge number of dresses with frills, everything is so delicate, beautiful ... I called the store and asked to put aside all the dresses that fit her in size. And these touching gentle fur coats, boots, shoes ... I wanted my daughter to be dressed like a girl, ”recalls Anastasia. But time has passed, Anya has matured and now she herself gives advice to her mother.

Do you have similar tastes now?

Anastasia: We have completely different tastes. Sometimes Anya just makes me buy something. She liked the leather dress. I say: "Why do I need it?" - "Take it immediately." She is funny. But then I wear it all with pleasure. I don’t like shopping at all, I used to often buy some things that stylists brought to the shooting, but this fall, in New York, Anechka and I arranged shopping in addition to visiting museums.

Nastya, are you already sharing beauty secrets with your daughter, or is it too early for her to know them?

Anastasia: I feel completely at ease in the role of a mother and do not try to say that we are sisters. ( laughing.) Nevertheless, I take appearance seriously, because for me it is important. The longer I stay in shape, the more opportunities I will have to work. For me, going to a cosmetic clinic is part of my job. For example, if my shooting is canceled, I immediately sign up for a massage, restoration, hair treatments ... And all my loved ones understand that this is important. If Anya has any problems, we go to the salon together. But it is still too early for her to do serious procedures. Naturally, she understands and knows that self-care is an important part of our life, if you want to be blooming, beautiful woman. True, now, due to the fact that Anya is studying in New York, we do not go to salons or shopping together so often.

How do you cope with such a long separation from each other?

Anastasia: To be honest, it seemed to me that I was more prepared for the fact that my daughter would sooner or later leave to study in another country. But when this happened, I realized that it was very hard for me without Anya. I immediately had some urgent business in New York ... ( smiling.) As a result, I spent the first session next to her.

Anna: I miss you very much too. Previously, mom was always nearby, but now it’s so far away ... After all, we, like best friends, always consult with each other. I don't trust anyone more than my mom.

Anastasia: We can sit with her in the bedroom and chat half the night - and try to come to us! And we can talk about anything! Children are my closest friends. They are the only ones I trust absolutely everything: only they are guaranteed to understand me correctly.

Nastya, when did you realize that your daughter had become an adult?

Anastasia: I didn’t have any clear gradation - well, that’s it, she grew up. She has always been a thoughtful girl beyond her years.

Anna: I guess I was born with a serious attitude towards life. ( Smiling.)

Anastasia: But on the other hand, no matter how adult she is, I look at her and understand that she is still a child. I don't know, maybe it's like that for all mothers.

Was it not scary to let the child go to a foreign country?

Anastasia: When my daughter decided to leave, I was very worried: how could she start living there alone in a foreign city? I told her: “Anechka, I understand how difficult it will be for you.” I began to remember how I myself came to Moscow from Astrakhan. But Anya stopped my carefully prepared monologue and answered me very well: “Mom, please note that coming from Astrakhan to Moscow is not at all like coming from Moscow to New York.” And I didn't even have anything to say to that.

Anna: Still, Moscow is also Big city, the same metropolis as New York.

Anastasia: It is worth saying that after Moscow in New York, she was even bored. In fact, for three years in a row she tried to go abroad to study - first to England and then to the USA. When she decided to enter London, I even sent her to choose a college. But she talked with Russian children, and they told her that they were sent to England only so that they would not interfere with their parents to live for their own pleasure. At that time, for her immature consciousness, this very controversial argument had a decisive influence, and all my attempts to convince her and prove that these were just a couple of special cases failed. She walked around the city, took pictures against the backdrop of Big Ben and Kensington Palace and returned home. The theme of England was closed. After some time, America emerged. Here we prepared very thoroughly, passed all the necessary exams for entering the university ... But when confirmation came, she suddenly refused.

At the last moment?

Anastasia: Yes! I then filmed in Minsk and came home for just a few hours. And once, when I arrived home, I found that the child was very excited. I ask her: “Do you want to tell me anything?” She replies, "I can't go to America." - "Why?" And she: “Mom, I'm still small, I'm scared ...” For three years she did not dare to leave to study abroad.

Was it scary to go now?

Anna: It’s also scary, but I decided to take a chance ...

Anya, what are you studying for?

Anna: On the producer.

Anastasia: But there is also acting, and directing, and writing scripts, and producing, and organizing production. That is, all together. It was unusual for me, because we have a different system of education, but, on the other hand, it seems to me that this is a very interesting experience.

Anya, why didn't you want to concentrate only on acting?

Anna: I was not sure that this is what I would like to do all my life, so I did not even consider the theater.

Nastya, didn’t you want your daughter to become an actress?

Anastasia: I am a big fan of ballet and dreamed of doing it as a child. When Anechka was born, I decided that this was a chance to make my childhood dreams come true. Let her become a ballerina! All friends unanimously repeated: “Your girl is simply made for ballet!” Without waiting for my daughter to grow up to the age when they take her to a ballet school, I sent her to gymnastics at an Olympic reserve school so that she would have a good stretch. For several years she worked out in the gym four to five times a week. Despite the fact that she did very well, Anya kept saying: “I don’t want to.”

Anna: Yes, I was four years old, and I really didn’t like all these activities. As a result, we came to the conclusion that I am still an independent person and I can make decisions myself.

Anastasia: All four years she studied with tears in her eyes and in the end one day she said: “Can't you understand that your dreams are not my dreams!” At this point, I was taking her to class. She was eight years old. I stopped, turned the car around, and we drove home.

A big move for an eight year old.

Anastasia: It seems to me that Anya was an adult from birth. She always clearly articulates what she wants, makes a decision and then builds a strategy on how to achieve what she wants.

Nastya, are you the same?

Anastasia: No. She knows how to wait, but I don't. Cossack blood flows in me, and if something doesn’t suit me - a saber unsheathed! The decision has been made, which means that it must be carried out immediately.

Is your son also patient, like Anya?

Anastasia: Mike is also patient, calm, balanced, but I look at him and understand that he is completely and completely a cast of me: I was the same at his age. Perhaps that is why I understand him much easier than Anya. I feel all his worries, doubts or, on the contrary, joys.

Are you a strict mom?

Anastasia: Maybe also due to the fact that the whole load and responsibility for the children lay on me, I held them very tightly. I could pull over. At some point, Petya helped (Peter Chernyshev, the wife of the actress. - Note. OK!). Anya and I periodically had some kind of nervous situation, one day she announced that she would stay with a friend, and I was categorically against it ... In general, Petya took me to ride around Moscow at night, and when my Cossack ardor cooled down, I exhaled , calmed down and returned home in a more or less calm state.

Did they let Anna go to her friend?

Anastasia: Under pressure from Petya, I told Anechka that she could stay with her friend. But as soon as I allowed her to do this, she immediately changed her mind and returned home.

Anna: I felt like an already formed person, I wanted some kind of freedom. And my mother thought I was small. Although, of course, I still was. And Petya really helped my mother and me a lot in this. He smoothed out our conflicts, explained to my mother that there is nothing wrong with the fact that children grow up.

Anastasia: As a result, I realized that my children do not tolerate a harsh method. I don't know if this is correct or not. For example, Paganini's father forced him to practice the violin for many hours in a row, and he was good. I didn't risk putting pressure on my kids.

You once said that parenting problems can be solved by loosening the leash.

Anastasia: Yes, as soon as the fetus ceases to be forbidden, it makes no sense to fight for it ... I have always been serious about talking with children. It is very important not only to listen to them, but also to hear them.

Anna: Mom is always very loyal to us, always gives us the right to choose and never puts pressure on us. She guides us on the right path, gives us advice, but nevertheless she never limits us in anything.

They say little kids are little troubles, big kids are big troubles. There was a lot of trouble adolescence?

Anastasia: Probably, I am one of the happiest mothers. With Anechka we had two or three difficult situations. Yes, I was nervous, but in principle, we survived everything. I heard it gets worse. I hope everything goes well with Mike. He is an interesting young man, he plays the guitar for six hours a day. The lessons are not very good, though, but everything is fine.

But the grades are not the most important thing.

Anastasia: No triples, thank God. I say: "Let's finish without triples." - "Okay, let's go." Now, since we moved to live outside the city, we transferred Mike to a school that is right next to the house. Recently I came there, the teacher told me: “You have such a wonderful young man. He is so well brought up, so intelligent and considerate. We are so happy when he comes to the lessons ... ”The main thing is that the problem was presented to me so delicately. ( laughing.)

And the son has already decided future profession?

Anastasia: V recent times We are discussing this topic more and more. He comes up to me and says: "Mom, talk to me, I'm worried about how and what I will do." His acting skills, by the way, are observed. But I would probably not really want him to choose this path.

Why?

Anastasia: I want him to stand on his feet stronger. Our profession is very shaky, much depends on the case. Not even from your abilities, aspirations or talent, but from chance. So I don't pressure him.

Nastya, when Anya was offered to try herself as a TV presenter, did you mind?

Anastasia: I was in shock. For me it was a complete surprise. I didn't believe it at first, I thought it was a prank. The producer called us and explained that this is not a joke - they really want to invite her to host the program.

Anna: I was invited to the casting. I arrived, worried just insanely. I memorized the whole text so that it bounced off my teeth. And actually, they took me.

Anastasia: When Anya was approved, I came to them, I said: “Why are you taking her? She is 16 years old, she can't do anything. Now she will be disgraced, both you and me will have to blush. But they didn't listen to me. ( smiling.)

Nastya, but everything worked out.

In general, it worked out.

Anya, did your mother criticize you?

Anna: Of course! We watched the programs together and analyzed everything carefully.

Anastasia: I am a very strict critic and I always tell Anya where something was wrong: where she was too lazy, where she fell short. Gave advice. To which she answered me: “Our producer tells me everything exactly the same as you, only even better.” Then I told her: "That's it, I'm retreating, communicate with the producer." But I told her about the behavior on film set She explained that there could be no whims, that in our profession one must either give one hundred percent, or leave it.

Anya, were you not offended by your mother's criticism?

Anna: No.

Anastasia: Because she knows that I myself work this way. After the first shooting, she told me: “I was so worried ...” And I am amazed: “Then why didn’t your knees tremble? Did your voice break? You didn't say anything stupid out of confusion? What were your experiences?

Anya, have you tried acting in films?

Anastasia: She is often called, but she does not want to.

Anna: There are no projects that would interest me.

Anastasia: Maybe the children, looking at me, realized how difficult it all is. By the way, in one episode of "My Fair Nanny" Anya still starred. Played my character as a child. And then it was possible to persuade, only by offering her a serious fee. ( smiling.)

Anna: I've always been very prudent. ( smiling.)

Anastasia: I myself played in the same episode. And I was so nervous that I forgot the whole text. In the end, the director stopped filming: “Nastya, your daughter looks much more professional than you!” But then my daughter came forward, telling me: “Stop being nervous. Get a hold of yourself". I had to calm down.

Anna: I just learned both my text and my mother's. And she cursed very much that she did not remember her words. I advised her. It probably looked ridiculous from the outside: the child teaches an already established actress how to play. ( laughing.) But my mother listened to me.

Nastya, did you teach your daughter not to pay attention to gossip?

Anastasia: When they used to write something bad about my family, the children reassured me and said: “You never know what they wrote. We know it's all nonsense." Therefore, it seemed to me that Anya, if anything, would be able to cope with this. But it turned out that even such preparation does not work here. One day, some girl was photographed naked, signed the picture "Anya Zavorotnyuk" and posted it on the Internet. At that moment, Petya, Mike and I were in America at the premiere of the film "Moms". Anya called: “Mom, there is such a story here ...” When I arrived, they told me that my daughter, a man of incredible endurance, simply cried and said: “For what? What have I done wrong to them?

Anna: Indeed, at first there were tears, nerves, it was hard to accustom yourself not to react to all this.

Anastasia: But we talked and came to the conclusion that we should not pay attention to such things. They constantly write about me and my family, including bad ones, gossip and fables are exaggerated. Well, now, go crazy because of this? And no matter what they say about us, we cannot make excuses: firstly, no one will believe anyway, and secondly, you just have to start here - and you will have to devote your whole life to justifications. We try to protect ourselves from this. At some point, I gathered my relatives and asked them not to read all these publications anymore.

Nastya, now that Anna and Mike have grown up, don't you feel guilty that when they were little you didn't pay enough attention to them?

Anastasia: When I was "Nanny", I worked 15-19 hours a day, seven days a week. She came, kissed their heels and went to bed, and left in the morning - they were still sleeping. For them to run and frolic around me - this was not the case. And if this suddenly happened, then I just lay there and silently looked at them.

Anna: I didn't feel like I was a neglected child. My brother and I always feel great love from my mother and understand that everything she does is only for us. But I really missed you a lot. I remember the times when we saw Mom once a week, because Mom would leave while we were still sleeping and come back when we were already asleep. Only on TV, in fact, they watched her.

Anastasia: It was a hard year, then it got easier, and that's it free time I wanted to spend with children. This is what is happening to this day.

You have so many shots right now. Probably, infrequently manage to escape to the daughter?

Anastasia: Yes, there is absolutely no free time yet. Now I am filming in several projects for one of the federal channels, the series “Provocateur” directed by Stas Shmelev on the Rossiya TV channel is soon to be released, in which we, together with Andrei Chadov, are fighting corruption. The series “Department” is also being released on NTV, it was filmed by a talented director Vladimir Nakhabtsev - there I try on the role of a police major, an investigator. Recently they filmed the program "The Invisible Man" on TV-3, it will be released in April. That's enough too interesting project where I first met people with unusual abilities. And on March 7, I had the premiere of the private performance "The Third Extra". I have been thinking about working on stage for a long time and finally decided on it. In the near future I have a tour - in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Israel, and then I will definitely go to visit Anechka.
