Andrei Bednyakov belongs to those stars of the television screen who never thought that life would give them a generous gift and make them a celebrity.
Childhood
Andrey Bednyakov, the future popular presenter, was born in Ukraine, in the city of Mariupol, which was the metallurgical center and large port of the Donetsk region. The family was the most ordinary: dad worked at the factory, mom - in the hospital. Andrei himself did not strike any talents from childhood and was a completely ordinary boy, thousands of which in any city.
KVN - a win-win path to success
In the early biography of the popular presenter, everything is ordinary. He graduated from high school and immediately went to work at the factory. I also chose a profession quite ordinary: I became an electrician. And so Andrei Bednyakov would have continued the working dynasty of his family if the factory had not noticed in him the ability to make good jokes. He did it really well, so he began to play in the main national team of the plant. This went on for several years, and then real luck started: Andrey got to Alexander Maslyakov, in the Higher League of KVN of Ukraine.
Moving to the capital
While working at the plant, Andrei entered the correspondence department of the Kharkov University of Internal Affairs. Graduation coincided with the opportunity to play in the Higher League of KVN, and a decision was made to move to Kiev. And here luck again smiled at Andrei. In the Ukrainian capital, a casting began to take the place of the leading local version of the famous program "Big Difference". Poor thing decided to try his hand and passed the selection. As he later admitted, that day there was no happier person on earth than he was.
"Big difference" in Ukrainian
The transfer gave Bednyakov a good start for his career and served as a good acting school. A parody is not as easy as it may seem. You need to be able to catch the most memorable, vivid traits of character, human behavior and be able to beat it so that it is recognized. Andrei Bednyakov (a photo from the project āBig Differenceā can be seen below) since KVN has been able to parody voices well, but everything else he had to learn from more experienced colleagues.
Eagle and Tails - tremendous experience and well-deserved popularity
Participation in the famous program was not the ultimate dream of the actor. I wanted to move on, try myself in new projects. And such a chance soon presented itself. The casting began for the role of the leading entertainment program about travels āEagle and Tailsā. Andrei Bednyakov was not too lazy and went to him. And he got the same place as one of the leading! Who now could doubt that he possesses undoubted talent, charm and charisma. Although participation in the "Big Difference" helped to some extent in winning the competition. Andrei once did a parody of the first host of Eagle and Tails, and his wife, one of the programās hosts, spoke about the casting. So Bednyakov found out about him - he came and won.
The program āEagle and Tailsā was already a steady success with the viewer, but with the arrival of a new participant, the rating took off. A young charming host with a famous small beard quickly won the hearts of the audience. For Andrei himself, the program was a great opportunity to visit a huge number of countries: famous tourist, exotic and unusual places.
During their participation in the program, the presenters visited more than 60 countries. These were completely different places: romantic, noisy, fabulously beautiful, disgusting, dangerous. In some of them, Andrey Bednyakov and his wife Nastya want to go again, they liked them so much. And there are those where the leader will never return and for no money. This, for example, Mumbai in India, where travelers were struck by a huge number of rats.
Thanks to participation in the program, Andreiās old dream came true: he was able to visit South America. And not just one country - the film crew was given a month to travel around the most interesting places.
Favorite states that Andrei Bednyakov and Nastya, his faithful companion of life, are ready to visit constantly - these are the USA, the countries of South America and Europe. But most of all, the host loves to return home, to Ukraine.
Andrey Bednyakov and Nastya Korotkaya: a love story
The romantic relationship of this fun and charming couple, the viewer watched a lot of time in the program "heads and tails". Anastasia Korotkaya and Andrey Bednyakov became the co-hosts of the program in the 6th season. The actor honestly says that he was comfortable working with all his partners, but no one can compare with his girlfriend.
Young people met for a long time, even during the game of Andrei in KVN. Then they came to the casting for āThe Big Differenceā together, and both successfully completed it. For some time, Andrei Bednyakov and Nastya Korotkaya worked on this project, and then their creative paths diverged. Andrei was chosen to host another program. But fate here smiled in love. Since the Eagle and Tails project was originally conceived as a family project, couples had to participate in it. And when in the 6th season after the casting, Nastya was chosen to be the leading one, everything fell into place.
Wedding
Andrei Bednyakov loves New York very much, so he chose this city in order to make an offer to his beloved girlfriend. It happened on New Year's Eve, in Times Square.
As for the wedding of the hosts, not everything is so clear and understandable here. Given the cheerful nature of both and the habit of constantly playing around, it is difficult to understand when Andrei and Nastya are joking, and when they are telling the truth. Last summer, Bednyakov posted on Instagram photos from the filming of the program, where he and Nastya were dressed by the bride and groom. Fans of the host were already in a hurry to congratulate him when he himself denied the rumors that had appeared about the wedding and wrote on his page that it was a joke.
However, all those who follow the work of this cheerful couple have no doubt that a real wedding is just around the corner.
New plans and projects
In 2013, fans were saddened by the news that Andrei Bednyakov and his wife (civilian) were no longer participating in the Eagle and Tails program. It was officially announced that they were tired of the busy schedule of filming. What really happened remains a mystery - Bednyakov prefers not to stand dirty linen in public.
Almost immediately, Andrei began work on a new project on the same channel - āDate with a Starā. A little later, the premiere of a new travel program - "How the chip will fall." Unfortunately, only one episode was broadcast, and the broadcast was closed for an unknown reason.
In September 2014, a new program starts with the participation of the presenter - āRich Man - Poor Manā. Its format differs from all those projects in which he participated before.
The civil wife of Andrei Bednyakov can be proud of him. The charming host is already compared with Ivan Urgant for the rapidly growing popularity and relevance. Indeed, Bednyakov really canāt complain. It is interesting to the viewer, they love him and are waiting for the appearance on the screen. Therefore, he is actively invited to new projects.
Appreciated the activities of the host and at home. Andrei Bednyakov won the nomination āFavorite TV host of the entertainment programā. The Ukrainian TV Star publication annually holds the Peopleās Prize ceremony, and this time the audience chose the former host of Eagle and Tails.
What is Andrei Bednyakov dreaming of?
His dreams are completely ordinary. Of course, traveling to different countries is exciting and interesting, but a busy shooting schedule can discourage any desire to enjoy the surrounding exotic views. Therefore, now the presenter wants to postpone work for at least a month, turn off the phone and just relax, doing nothing.
He also long wanted to stop wandering around in rented apartments and acquire his own housing, in which it would be possible to plan further family life.
And with regard to the profession, he is interested in trying himself not only in the familiar role of the host of the program, but really playing on the theater stage or in the cinema. He already has a little experience in such filming. In the film "Rzhevsky vs. Napoleon" Andrei starred in a small episode several years ago. He is one of the youngest leaders, and everything is yet to come!
