Artem Tkachenko: “My three-year-old son is preparing me for the show Dancing with the Stars”

News
Many stars try themselves in a new role during self-isolation. Artem Tkachenko does it in front of the whole country - the actor takes part in the show "Dancing with the Stars". In an interview with StarHit, the actor spoke about his son's talents, home rehearsals and financial difficulties.
April 26, 2020 17:304 069
Artem Tkachenko
Artyom Tkachenko is self-isolating during his daily dance lessons - the actor takes part in the show "Dancing with the Stars" for the Rossiya TV channel. On the project, he competes in choreographic skills with other fellow stars - including Maria Poroshina, Ekaterina Varnava, Andrey Chernyshov, Alena Babenko.
Rehearsals are sometimes held online, and once every two weeks, all contestants take a mandatory coronavirus test.
When was the last time you danced, remember? nine0022
I've been on the set of films more than once, in a children's camp and, of course, at discos in my youth. In general, every day I dance at home with my three-year-old son Styopa. He loves this activity very much, moves cool, arranges the most complex improvisations. And he does everything so sincerely and with joy that I also want to, how can I not support here. I think in a few years he will give dad a light - the active boy is growing. Most of all he loves breakdancing.
Well, that is, you were well prepared for the project, was your partner lucky? nine0022
We all have to sweat, regardless of the level of training. Each time you need to learn a new dance - and these are new movements, a new form, new chords .... The most difficult ones, Thank God, are already behind me.
Lera Semenova, my partner, believes that jive, quick-step and samba are among the most difficult, because they are very fast. And I completely agree with her - this is some kind of long-distance running. I always wanted to learn rumba - and I'm just rehearsing it, there is at least some opportunity to exhale and enjoy. I also like tango - and it will undoubtedly be ahead of me. nine0005
Artem is married to actress Ekaterina Steblina
Do you also study at home, do you include your wife?
Of course, plus I just watch the video. In the evenings we dance with Katya. Valeria and her husband Anton help us a lot - they show the movements, I display the image on the TV screen and repeat.
The Dancing with the Stars project created many couples and even destroyed several families. Your spouse easily lets you go to such shootings, is she not jealous? nine0022
No, not at all, because we are at least family friends with my project partner.
We often visit each other, in general, we have an excellent trusting professional relationship.
Who do you consider to be the main competitors in the project?
You know, if I didn't know Stebunov for many years and didn't work with him more than once, I would probably compete with Vanya. Actually, quite recently we starred together for the Rossiya TV channel - he played in the picture of my older brother, Andrei Sokolov - our father. And so the whole "family" went to "Dancing with the Stars", it turns out. I treat Ivan warmly, I sincerely root for him. But anyway, I'm out of competition. nine0005
Artem and Valeria have been family friends for a long time
Who is your main fan among your relatives?
Everyone watches the show, support - family, relatives in Kaliningrad. And many friends all over the country. The main fans, of course, are those with whom I am now in self-isolation in the apartment - my wife, my children.
In your sons - Stepan and Tikhon - do you already see the successors of acting?
Probably too early to talk about it. But children always want to be like their parents. Girls want to be moms, boys want to be dads, whatever they do. The younger one does not really understand what it is to be an actor, and the older one already wants a little. I hope they will get some kind of stable interesting profession - the choice in any case will remain with the guys. nine0005
The actor has two sons — 3-year-old Stepan and 7-year-old Tikhon
Has your relationship with your wife already “suffered” in self-isolation?
We really, probably, never spent so much time together, only when on vacation. And this is a great test of strength. I can say that with Katya it’s not that we are tired, on the contrary, we have become much closer, more united. We try to help, give each other time to rest from the child. Somehow we take it in turn.
We develop as a family. nine0005
How do you think you can survive the quarantine without getting divorced? No wonder they say that after the pandemic there will be many divorces...
Probably, if he quarreled with someone, it should be so. This means that these people should not be together, since they cannot cope with such a test as spending time together.
What do you do with your time? Maybe you have discovered a new hobby for yourself?
I started, for example, to get involved in music and master musical notation, which I once studied, but forgot everything. For me, this is an important point. It's time to watch movies. At the moment, with great pleasure we are watching John Malkovich in Sorrentino's film "The New Pope". It's cool that there is time to read books to children, and they are happy about it too. nine0005
The most difficult dances for Tkachenko are already behind them
Now many actors and musicians complain that they are left without work and without a livelihood.
Are you facing any financial difficulties?
Well, whoever does not encounter them, I am not the owner of an oil rig. Although now I would have only one problem from her. Expenses have not gone away, they even increased in some ways ... But Thank God, some money was in reserve - we live on them.
What's the first thing you'll do when quarantine is over?
Let's go with my family to Kaliningrad, to my homeland, to the house that was empty without us - now only my mother lives there. This is the place where you always want to return.

On Saturday evening, the whole country clung to blue screens watching the first day of Dancing with the Stars 2. "Komsomolskaya Pravda" went behind the scenes of the first dance day of the project. nine0005
Sveta Loboda was sued
Eight couples took to the parquet, which was again carefully laid in one of the pavilions of the film studio. Dovzhenko. On the first day, the couples danced the waltz and cha-cha-cha.
By the way, the composition of the judges has not changed - in the quartet of the "dance Themis" they are all the same: gentlemen Chapkis, Elizarov, Litvinov and the only lady Elena Kolyadenko.
Svetlana Loboda and her handsome partner Andrey Matvienko were the first to see the jury. The singer danced despite her injured leg the day before and did it well, demonstrating several dizzying somersaults over her partner's head. However, the jury was not generous and gave only 26 points. nine0005
- It's very difficult to dance first, - Sveta complained, - and I can't agree with the jury. But I think, no matter how much they bet, we will never be completely satisfied with the result.
Violin danced to Led Zeppelin
Oleg Skrypka waltzed his partner Liza Druzhinina to Led Zeppelin's hit Stairway to Heaven remade in three counts. The couple was praised for the dramaturgy of the dance, but they did not give many points.
But for the waltz "I want to dance" from the musical "My Fair Lady" Alexander Ponomarev and his partner Polina Komisova received the maximum number of points for that evening - 32. Sasha really was at his best. Why be surprised? For the past month and a half, Ponomarev has been training “like a damned man” for five hours a day, canceling most of his own concerts. nine0005
- But the son doesn't want to understand that it's hard for dad, - the singer complained to Komsomolskaya Pravda about sleepless nights. - I asked Ponomarev Jr. to let his father sleep at least the night before the start of the program, but it wasn’t there.
Lilya Podkopayeva also got the highest mark of the evening - 32 points - brilliantly dancing cha-cha-cha to the imperishable "Shizgara". The jury was delighted that the Olympic champion did not demonstrate gymnastic techniques, but honestly danced latin, fieryly twirling her hips. nine0005
Zelensky does not give out secrets
Zhenya Koshevoy (Bald from the 95th quarter) also gave out a very good cha-cha-cha, despite the fact that Zelensky never gave him the secret of how to win at Dancing with the Stars .
By the way, Zelensky and Shoptenko were not present at the start of the program, they promised to be next time. But there was Mogilevskaya, who, even before the start, looked into the dressing room and very theatrically blessed everyone.
Koshevoy and his black-haired fairy Katya Trishina came up with a dance for the most popular biblical story: Eve once again seduced Adam with an apple. The Serpent was also present - in the form of an application on the partner's suit. nine0005
But the showman Max Nelipa and Anya Filipenko turned out to be the most cheerful couple. With the help of magic and a black box, Max turned a living rabbit into a beauty with rabbit ears - with her he gave out cha-cha-cha as much as 31 points. Tina Karol, who this evening was in the image a la Liza Minnelli in Cabaret.
- Yes, we eat what the rabbit eats, - Nelipa cheerfully reported.
- I sympathize, - Karol sighed, - and like a magician, having fished out a chocolate bar from somewhere, she began to chew it with concentration.
nine0005
Finally, romantic waltzes with partners were danced by Snezhana Egorova and Irina Bilyk. It cannot be said that they danced “ah”, but the jury noted the diligence of the first and the plasticity of the hands of the second.
FIRST HEAD
"Komsomolskaya Pravda" asked the members of the jury whether they are satisfied with the current composition of the participants.
Elena KOLYADENKO:
- It's hard to tell from the first dance, because these are just sketches. They are still breaking up. And the winner will pop up soon too. Everything will become clear when 4 pairs remain in the program. nine0005
Grigory CHAPKIS:
- Now it's very difficult to say anything, couples took to the dance floor for the first time, they were very worried. I can say that these couples are a thousand times more difficult than the participants in Dancing with the Stars-1.
