Kristina Asmus and Garik Kharlamov admitted that they are already husband and wife! Christina Asmus and Garik Kharlamov: details of their personal lives Well, there are many bright events ahead. Happy New Year

Kristina, Garik, we met with you at the Bakkara restaurant, as I understand it, not by chance ...

Cristina: I can explain why we asked you to meet here. When we decided to do an interview with you, Garik suddenly said: “Choose a place. Basically, I don't care. Although listen, let's maybe eat that divine chicken ... ”That is, he associated this restaurant with chicken. And only a couple of days later we remembered that it was here that we celebrated our wedding this summer. Well, as noted. There were two of us at the wedding itself - we did not invite anyone. And then, after the registry office and a walk, they just came here for dinner. That's our whole wedding.

Garik: Yes, the two of us went and signed. No one, except our relatives, even knew about this.

K .: After the registry office, we went to the park near the Novodevichy Convent. We were quite simply dressed, but both in white. I am in a dress, Garik is in a shirt and shorts. It was in June. I have a bridal bouquet, a garter. I thought: now I’ll take and give my bouquet to the first girl I came across. And a girl appears, much older than me, so plump ... I ask her: “Excuse me, please, are you married?” - "No, not married". I say: “We have a wedding today! Please take my bridal bouquet." She was confused, but she took the bouquet, thanked her and sincerely smiled like that. We didn't even know if she recognized us or not. I'm glad it turned out so well for us.

Indeed, everything is very beautiful. And what about the garter?

K .: We gave the garter to our eternal fiance Timur Batrutdinov, who still does not marry.

Tell me, did you originally want this kind of wedding?

K .: Yes, we did not build this event into a cult: to make sure a veil, a lot of guests. I can’t say that with the advent of the stamp in the passport, something has changed in our life together. It was a formality, so we did everything the way we wanted - not for friends, but for ourselves. We spent the day together, we were in a good mood, we walked, took pictures.

G .: We promised each other: if we ever want to celebrate our wedding, we will. Any day, any year, any place. We will gather friends, Christina will put on a chic dress and veil, I will put on a jacket, and we will call it our wedding.

K .: Of course, we will do it for relatives, for friends.

And now your parents and numerous sisters are not offended?

K .: Naturally, we consulted with them. For them, the main thing is that we love each other, and whether we celebrate or not is nonsense.

DG: We then repeatedly gathered parents for various reasons. They all got to know each other. So in this regard, we are doing well.

K .: I want to tell you, Vadik, another interesting story. After a wedding dinner in this very restaurant, we went home - we now live mainly outside the city. As you know, we have two dogs. Summer, gorgeous weather, great mood, we come home and go for a walk with them. Our neighbor in the village - Alexander Marshal, we often see each other, he is at our house, we are at his place. And I offered to go to him. We approached, talked on the porch, and we, in between times: “And we got married today!” - "Wow! Listen, today is my birthday. My son came to me, we are sitting together. Come, let's celebrate both events." It was June 7th.

G: And it was such a great evening!

Even in your story, guys, this warm energy is felt. I look at you and it seems that you have been together all your life. You complement each other so well!

K .: And despite the fact that we are completely different. But we really complement each other. What I lack is in Garik, and vice versa. Garik needed such an engine in his life, and I just like to create everything, equip everything - in general, act.

G.: I am very slow and calm, I need time to swing. In the morning, before I get to the bath, I need to sit on the bed for a couple of minutes, collect my thoughts, scratch the dog. And Kristinka ... If she is late for something, the world stops, and everyone should deal only with her problem. The driver has to go, I don't know, over the curbs, in other cars. I think differently: well, I'm late, it's okay, I'll call, I'll warn you, we'll agree on it. Right now, for example, we were going to meet you, we were late. It's their own fault, of course, for choosing this place. Sunday, all of Moscow is free, and it is here that the traffic jam. I sit quietly, because we can not change anything. Kristina: “Let me out, I’ll walk, I’m uncomfortable in front of Vadim. How can you sit so still?” Or here's another. Kristina likes, for example, a festival movie - something to think about. And I love fast food: I looked and forgot. I'm currently reading a book - "Inferno" by Dan Brown, and Christina says: "What are you reading? This is not high literature. Or the same theater ... So that I go somewhere? Maybe I even want to, but I'm too lazy. I’d rather just sit, poke something in the iPad or drive it to the Playstation. And as soon as Christina and I began to live together - that's it, I started going to the theater, I started watching this ice show on Channel One, in which she is now participating, I began to understand everything that was happening there. In general, thanks to my wife, I began to gradually cultivate. That is, we are absolutely two different planets, while we are together, and we also have our own little planet - our daughter.

K .: You know, Vadim, since I met Garik, a lot has changed in my life. He is my great love, such a first true love. And I can say for sure, the only one, I don’t need anything else and will never need it. The happiness that I had on a personal level somehow spread to everything around me: to work, to communication with the outside world. One head it's good, but two better. With a spouse, it became somehow easier to overcome problems. Now, perhaps, I am a completely happy person. I was incredibly lucky with Garik. His views on many things have ceased to amaze me, but have only begun to delight. ( Turns to Garik.) It's great that I have you.

G: It's nice to hear such things addressed to you. You can listen to them endlessly. I'll tell you, Vadim, that Christina is the only woman I want to be with. I love her very much. Well, the truth is, she is the perfect woman for me, in all respects. ( smiling.) And we don’t have this: “I am the master of the house, and it will be as I say” or “I am a mother, and I need something ...”

In general, a complete idyll. As far as I know, Christina loves to cook.

K: Yes, I do.

G: She cooks amazingly. In a matter of minutes and with pleasure will cook anything. Just give her a chance. For example, yesterday I decided to cook myself scrambled eggs. I take a frying pan, put it on the fire, take out the oil. I don’t even have time to pour it, when Christina appears: “So, this oil is not olive oil - she determined by smell, it’s sesame, you don’t need to fry it. And I need another frying pan, this one is too small for three eggs ... "One, two, three - that's it, I'm not doing anything anymore.

TO.: ( smiling.) My mom is a great cook. But there was no such thing that she taught me this. I was constantly busy: first sports, then a theater studio, an institute. I think if my mother had rushed in time, she could have realized herself in the profession of a cook. These skills, apparently, were transferred to me at the genetic level. I know a lot of recipes, however, most often I do not rely on them in their pure form. Some ingredients are replaced, some removed. I love this creative process.

Do you really still have time for all these recipes and ingredients with your busy schedule?

G: She has very little free time. She acts in films, rehearses in the theater, trains on ice day and night. Constantly taking risks. She has a bruise here and there. Plus, we still have a little daughter, Christina feeds her and fiddles with her all the time, she hardly sleeps at all.

Are you comfortable with your bruises and abrasions?

K .: Absolutely, I'm an athlete. I wanted to learn something new, I actually never skated. A few years ago I was offered to participate in a charity project. On the ice arena, we, the artists, skated with children from orphanages. The event lasted all day, some artists replaced others. I arrive, put on my skates, the leader announces: “And now your favorite actress Christina Asmus is entering the ice.” I go out on the ice and the first thing I do is fall. Here it was no longer I who helped the children ride, but they helped me. Honestly, I didn't think it was that difficult.

Christina has performances at the Yermolovsky Theater, filming, "Ice Age". You, Garik, are more constant in your passions: for 11 years you have been a resident of the Comedy Club on TNT. What did this project give you personally?

G.: For me, this is no longer a project, but a part of my life. Hand on heart, I didn't think it would last that long. Comedy Club is the platform where I can realize my creative ambitions.

What do you think is the reason for the huge success of this project?

G.: I think that we just got to the right time and to our audience. Previously, in addition to student KVN, there were programs on television that were more designed for the older generation - Full House and Gorodok. We have occupied, in fact, a free niche. Our viewer is such a middle link, the middle class. And we speak to our viewers in their language. Here, for example, is a miniature about the fact that the husband suddenly came home, and the wife is cheating on him with a neighbor. In "Full House" they would say: oh, I'll call the police now, in KVN they will manage with a joke, and we will play a miniature about what really happens in such a situation, and this can be very harsh humor. From the song, as they say, you can’t throw out the words.

Well, yes, such a healthy cynicism, and in fact you get it very funny ... Let's get back to a personal topic. Kristina, we met a year ago on my air on Radio Russia - Culture. It was literally a week and a half before your birth. You then very matter-of-factly told me: “Today, on December 27, in early January, I will give birth, on January 24 and 25 I will play the premiere of the play Hamlet, on the 27th I have a rehearsal.” I was very surprised by this clear plan of yours.

K: I am such a person. I believe that if you really want something, you will definitely be able to achieve it. You just need to act.

Garik, were you not opposed to Christina returning to the stage so quickly?

G: Even if I were against it, Vadim, it wouldn't change anything. Movement is very important for Christina. It's me who's the dick. By the way, our dogs are similar to us in this respect. Patrick rushes around the apartment from morning to night, absolutely crazy, it is impossible to catch him. The other one, Bruce, looks like me.

K .: Bruce appeared unexpectedly and very funny. We went to the pet store to buy food for Patrick. I chose the food, I go to the checkout, I look - Garik is holding some kind of dog in his arms.

G: Bruce looked at me with such eyes that I understood: that's it, I have to pick him up. I ask: “What kind of breed?” - Basenji. Five thousand years old breed, these are non-barking dogs. There is a legend that in ancient times, when animals could talk, they heard from one of the people the most important secret and since then swore never to tell it. They were given to the Egyptian pharaohs for good luck. They considered dogs of this breed to be living amulets. I immediately realized that Bruce is my copy. We lie on the couch with him, read all sorts of things on the Internet, come up with some miniatures ... "Face" he is very similar to Batrutdinov. He has the same wrinkles ... ( smiling.)

On the phone, Christina jokingly told me that you have three children, meaning dogs too. Moreover, you acquired one of them literally before the birth of your daughter, and the second - immediately after the birth. For what? Is one child not enough?

G: Vadim, Kristina is already tormenting me so that we get a third dog.

K: I'm crazy about dogs. I even have a dream. Well, I won’t fully share it, but so ... open a dog shelter. There are even more extensive thoughts on this subject. In the meantime, I am inciting Garik to acquire a third dog. ( smiling.)

G: And I'm inciting Christina to the second child.

K .: I myself want this too, but I say: “Let me work for another year, I’ll come to my senses a little.” And he: "Well, please, come on the second." ( smiling.)

Christina, you seem to be a soft girl, but I know for sure that you have a strong character.

K .: You know, Vadik, after the birth of my daughter, people around me began to say that I became more calm, although I don’t think so. I don’t know, maybe in communication with friends I began to behave somehow differently. And so ... there is less time for myself. I now get up earlier, go to bed later, do a lot of things at the same time. Feeding is a whole story. I have a child in one hand and a dog in the other. I feed them, in parallel I somehow try to collect myself. Previously, I rushed into any adventure - creative, sports, organizational. I was so sure that everything would work out for me that, without hesitation for a long time, I agreed to a lot. Now there is responsibility not only for my life, but also for Nastyushkina. Filming? Where? When? What facilities are there for children? I think about her all the time.

You gave birth in Moscow, while many of your colleagues specially go abroad.

K: We also considered this option. But not because it's better. In general, I believe that it does not matter where to give birth, it is important - with whom. They just wanted to retire, change the situation. But the birth fell on a busy working period: December, January - Garik had corporate parties. I was faced with a choice: either to give birth, figuratively speaking, with Garik by the hand so that he could be nearby, that is, in Moscow, or without him. I chose the first one.

Was Garik present at the birth?

G: Yes, but I didn't plan it, it just happened.

K .: To be honest, I didn’t really want it myself. Why should he watch this process? Yes, and let the child already see a clean, pretty one. Of course, Garik was not in the room itself, but outside the doors.

G: But I saw everything through the glass. He held on to the last of his strength. The moment when the daughter was born, the first second of her life, her first sound - this cannot be compared with anything. I was immediately given her in my arms, they say: "That's it, you are now dad." The doctors said this in a funny way: “Well, you won’t confuse her with anyone. It's definitely your child." She really was very similar to me, although now she is completely different.

K .: I look at Garik's childhood photos - well, just one face. Copy. Now my features are already visible too.

G .: She is such a girl-girl, a real doll. Hair color is Kristinkin, and was born dark.

Your daughter, one might say, is a Snow Maiden. She was born shortly after the New Year, almost on the eve of Christmas, on January 5th.

G.: We really wanted her not to be born on the New Year itself, so that there would be no mixing of holidays. During pregnancy, Christina said: "So, the first, second of January must be passed." The first, the second survived - well, everything, now you can.

K .: The fourth of January is the day of the angel Anastasia. And we, what is most interesting, did not even know about it, but we really wanted to name our daughter Nastya. Everything matched up wonderfully.

How did you prepare at home for the arrival of your daughter?

K: Oh, what was there! After the maternity hospital, I did not recognize our house: it was all strewn with balloons, flowers and garlands. Garik was in cahoots with our parents. In one of the rooms, I saw two compositions of balloons with inscriptions: “Nastenka, welcome home!” and “Darling, thank you for your daughter!” They stayed for five months.

By the way, why did you want to name your daughter Nastya and nothing else?

CG: We decided on the name of our daughter even before Christina became pregnant.

K: I can tell you a story. Garik and I are driving in a car. Winter, I have a scarf on my head. Suddenly Garik turns to me and says: “Listen, you look so much like Nastenka from Morozko. Just unbelieveble! And tell me something like Nastenka. Then, from time to time, he still made fun of me and distorted phrases from the fairy tale in a girl's voice. We both really wanted a baby, almost from the very beginning of our relationship. There was not even talk about the wedding yet, and we imagined that we were husband and wife, that our daughter was sleeping in the next room, Nastenka, and we were talking to each other in a whisper.

G: So we had everything rehearsed...

Yes, and the "premier" was a success! Christina, tell me, didn’t you want to dissolve in the child as long as possible, enjoy motherhood, not think about work, about the theater?

K .: Of course, there were such thoughts! And not just thoughts - I voiced them constantly. I generally had a postpartum bzik - fortunately, it did not last long. I didn’t really want even my closest relatives to come to my maternity hospital, except for Garik. These first days I wanted to be alone with my daughter, to smell her, touch her, I wanted to establish this energy connection. For me it was very important. After leaving, I relaxed a little. And so many responsibilities fell at once. You're right, Vadim, I'm always busy. But anyway, I spend a lot of time with my daughter. After all, I don’t have such that I, like a good half of the average population, work from call to call, leave home in the morning and return late in the evening. I can leave home at three or four in the afternoon. In addition, I continue to feed, and feeding requires that you are constantly next to the child.

Do you take Nastya with you to the theater?

K: No, no. Never. Yes, and there is no need for this. We have the best grandmothers in the world who help us out a lot.

G: But my daughter is a traveling frog. We all went to my shootings in Riga together.

K .: And for my shooting - in Petrozavodsk. But of course, I didn’t take her to the set. We generally try not to show it to strangers. And in Europe we already rested together - Nastyukha was then five months old.

Wow! And it was not a pity to expose such a small child to stress

in airplane?

K: We traveled by train. In terms of time, this is longer, of course, but for my daughter the most comfortable transport.

Garik, how did your life change with the advent of your daughter?

G: Nastya is like a magnet for me. If I take her in my arms - that's it, I don't need anything else. Even at night, if I'm still awake, I wait for her to wake up. I am not kidding.

K .: But we were very lucky with this: our child sleeps soundly for twelve hours. Since the birth of our daughter, we have practically not had sleepless nights. Now only sometimes she began to wake up - her teeth are cut, or she just checks who is nearby. And here we are sitting talking or watching a movie, we hear - Nastyuha woke up. Garik immediately has such a happy face: “I woke up! Hooray! I'm first, I'm first! And he runs towards her.

G: It's very cool. You pick up a tiny creature, which, waking up, does not yet understand where it is. And what is happening around. Nastya puts her head to my chest and dozes off. Her favorite pastime is taking off my glasses or putting her finger in my mouth. With her appearance, completely new qualities were revealed in me. There was such a strong feeling of dependence on this small, defenseless creature, which I don’t even know how to characterize, that is, you don’t feel such feelings for anyone in the world. This feeling makes you run up the stairs to her, look at her while she sleeps, kiss her when she wakes up, feed her ...

K .: I have probably never seen Garik so active.

Wonderful! Kristina, Garik, you are probably already preparing with might and main for the celebration of the New Year - the first with your daughter. I'm wondering what are the most pleasant and unexpected memories from your childhood associated with the New Year, you keep in mind?

K .: When I was little, my mother mostly met the New Year at work - so her shifts fell out, and dad stayed with us. And one day - I was sixteen or seventeen years old, I no longer lived with my parents - dad had to stay alone on a holiday. Naturally, I decided to be with him, I was driving, Putin’s speech had already begun on the radio, I flew home shouting: “Dad, dad!” I enter the room, and there my father and mother are sitting, holding hands. And it was such a touching moment that I will remember it for the rest of my life. This is happiness. I, of course, also strive for this. I dream of living with my husband for twenty or thirty years, winking, sending emoticons to each other, hugging and holding hands. We are striving for this, and, thank God, it still feels like the candy-bouquet period is just beginning for us.

G.: ( smiling.) About the New Year: when I was seven years old, they took me to the New Year tree in the Kremlin. There I first saw a microphone, and I wanted to say something into it. I went on stage with the words: "I'm Santa Claus, hello." I loved the way my voice sounded! So loud and loud!

You see, your childhood “performance” turned out to be prophetic.

CG: Mom, taking me off the stage, apologized for a long time ... New Year is, of course, a family holiday in the first place. Nastya was generally lucky: December 31 with gifts, five days later another gift for her birthday.

Have you already decided how you will celebrate the New Year?

K: Good question. He tortures us.

G: Most likely, I will work on the New Year itself, the holidays are our work.

K .: But I still hope that you will not work. I want to celebrate the New Year with my husband together. I even had the idea to call its director and "order" Garik's performance for the New Year. So that on such an important, first holiday for a child, the husband was at home.

G .: And I would come and say: “Wife, what are you doing? Who are you spending your family budget on?!” ( smiling.) But even if we have to work, we will still celebrate together, well, not on the 31st, but on the second or third of January. Moreover, Nastya has a round date on the fifth: it will be one year old.

Well, there are many bright events ahead. Happy New Year!

K: Thank you, Vadim. And you too! To be honest, we did not even think about which of the journalists to talk about our parental feelings for the first time. Your friendship means a lot to me. And if we still decide to somehow celebrate our wedding on a large scale - welcome, we are always glad to see you.

I'm waiting for an invitation!
