Natalya Bardo: “I'd rather buy a new book than shoes. Natalya Bardo: “In the acting profession, you cannot earn much if you are not in the top - And what is criticism for you

On the eve of Victory Day, the Russia 1 TV channel will premiere the military drama The Last Frontier”, in which the fragile-looking 28-year-old Natalya Bardo played the brave nurse Katya. In life, the actress radiates sophistication, grace and style, which she demonstrates at social events. IN exclusive interview the site found out what sacrifices Natalia is not ready for for her career, why she refuses sex scenes and what boundaries she wants to erase.

28-year-old actress Natalya Bardo has played many interesting roles, but latest work especially proud. In the new series "The Last Frontier", which will premiere on May 8 on the channel "Russia 1", the actress became a military nurse Katya.

The drama tells about a company of recruit soldiers, whose commander was given the task of stopping the Germans at any cost. The action takes place in a difficult time - in the winter of 1941. The heroine of Natalia faces all the hardships of the war time face to face. With a question about the picture, we began our conversation.

website: Natalya, you starred in the series "The Last Frontier", the characters of which have a strong spirit and the will to win. Do you have these qualities?

Without false modesty, I can say that there is. If I did not possess these qualities, my life would not have what I have now. I think, strong spirit given to us in order to achieve our goals without compromising our principles. I do not like to make sacrifices, but for the sake of loved ones I am ready for a lot.

“According to the sign of the Zodiac, I am Aries, and much of what is written in horoscopes is about me. I am purposeful, I don’t like to lose at all, and if this happens, I tell myself: “Everything is for the best.”

I am sure that if you have won or you are lucky in something, then you deserve it, you did something good in the past. I am grateful to my parents for their upbringing, they gave me best qualities. It is difficult to be alone in this life, and it is good when there are people nearby who wish us well.

N.B.: Now success for me is a picture that will be recognized by viewers and critics. If I am in a film, it is important for me that it is appreciated. This is why I overcome my own fears. I had to jump from great heights, shoot with poisonous cobras, spend ten hours in icy water ... At the same time, I really love action scenes and often do my own stunts.

The victims must be justified, so I will never betray myself. If my inner voice resists something, I will listen to it. So, once I had to abandon a project with blatantly frank bed scenes and now I'm happy about it. I know for sure that I would be ashamed now. Perhaps, because of such a mistake, I would not have been able to fulfill my dream - to act in a military movie. "The Last Frontier" for me is one of the most reverent and significant works.

“In our profession, excessive media coverage does not always play into the hands. "Special" popularity can hurt. Therefore, in such matters, I rely on the opinion of professionals - recognized directors, actors, and I prefer to refuse to shoot for men's magazines. Everything has its time".

website: Can you call yourself a brave person?

N.B.: I'm more of a brave adventurer (laughs). It seems to me that this happens because I am afraid of boredom and ... laziness! Unpredictability, risk are closer to me, and courage is also inherent in this. I have other weapons, but I'll talk about that another time. (smiles).

website: What do you think a modern woman should be like?

N.B.: In my opinion, she must be wise. With this quality, a woman can achieve anything, and any man wants to protect her. It is not necessary to be combative if there is a loved one nearby. When girls say that they can cope without the help of men, they turn into unhappy and lonely. And I only call for wisdom. Wait, let your loved one show himself and his abilities, because this is a small contribution to your happy future.

N.B.: Happiness should be a priority, and for me it is both the opportunity to act in films and the desire to start a family. There must be balance in everything.

“I can’t choose one thing, so I’m ready to explain to a man how important work is for me as much as I like. I am for a harmonious existence and I am sure that it is possible to build at the same time successful career and make time for family and friends.

website: What character would you like to be reincarnated as?

N.B.: There is no specific image. I played both positive heroines and girls with hard fate, and bitches, and even princesses. Now I want something sharp, negative. I think such a role is not far off.

I am satisfied with the way mine is developing now. actor career and I am glad that I have the opportunity to do what I love. Every day I study, I work on myself. I am only at the beginning of the journey, there are many achievements ahead of me, and this only fuels my interest and inspires me.

website: Do you make plans or prefer the natural course of events?

N.B.: Oh... I just belong to the category of people who make long-term plans. I like to control everything even in those cases when I have no power over the situation (laughs). But I notice positive changes - over the years I become more trusting. And I even begin to get a taste and enjoy it. And when I notice that the result exceeds all my expectations, I rejoice in euphoria. Moments like these bring joy when you realize you have someone to rely on.

N.B.:"Yes I can. The goal is not to destroy what has been built. I treat what I have as my empire: I am the queen of possessions, I have a king, and everything is subject to a clearly built system. This world of mine was built long and hard.

My relatives give me the strength to move on, I try to protect myself from ill-wishers and gossip. Today there is order in my house, which allows me to freely think about the future, to search, develop, love. In life, everything should be, as in a tidy closet - in its place.

website: It seems to us that one of your strengths- the ability to look great at social events. Do you seek help from professionals or do you think over the images yourself?

N.B.: Thank you for the compliment. A woman should be able to present herself. Of course, I turn to stylists, because, in my opinion, public people should pay special attention to their appearance.

“A well-chosen image is big job, art. Therefore, I prefer to do my job - acting, and trust the rest to professionals.

website: Do you prioritize comfort or beauty?

N.B.: Above all for me is beauty, especially if we are talking about a social event, red carpet or filming process.

IN Everyday life I allow myself to relax and choose comfort. If I am uncomfortable in something, I will not wear it, and this thing will hang on a hanger or, in best case will be given to someone.

Film and television actress Natalya Bardo, who is now happily expecting a child - from her chosen one, director Marius Weisberg, told HELLO! about the components of his style. There is no doubt that her style is special. The surname is like that of the famous Brigitte - and the ambition is no less than that of the French colleague. Natalya does not recognize halftones and always "goes to the principle" - both in work and in her personal life.

Everything in this life should happen gradually so that you can feel the change. And if success and fame immediately overtake - it can simply crush, - says Natalia Bardo.

She, who gradually passed all the "exams" on the way to a big movie, knows what she's talking about. Filming in the series "Golden. Barvikha 2" and "Veronica. Lost Happiness" - the latter is still successfully repeated on TV. Finally, the roles in the full meter - from the ephemeral Fairy from the recent comedy with Danila Kozlovsky "Friday" to the brave nurse from the military drama "The Last Frontier". Natalia considers this role a great success:

The film is not easy - three hours of make-up every day, a heavy overcoat, cold to the bone. But such an important and reverent topic! I have been waiting for this role for a very long time. I tried to play as honestly as possible, and I hope I succeeded. After the premiere of the picture in America, unexpectedly, they even began to approach me on the streets, to make compliments. Natalya moved to America at the beginning of the year: the father of her unborn child, director Marius Weisberg, lives here. Natasha has not yet spoken about her next responsible role - mother. But she talks with pleasure about the location of our interview - Los Angeles, which always reminds her of her first acquaintance with the world of cinema.

Los Angeles is a city where films are being made at every turn, something like a scene from my childhood. Then, at the age of 14, thanks to my mother's friend, I first got to film set- Movies were filmed in Gorky Park. This special world immediately fascinated me - running lights, cameramen, an important director in an armchair. And I decided that by all means I would break through there. But mom said, "What's the point of entertaining someone?" She considered the acting profession frivolous, and the future associated with the economy seemed to her much more promising. And I, on the advice of my mother, nevertheless entered the economic one.

But then they still transferred to the theater?

Once I was walking along the Arbat and went down to one of the alleys near the Shchukin school. The students were rehearsing something and seemed so happy and free that I immediately transferred to the correspondence department and began to prepare for admission. And she entered the "Pike" the first time. And she never regretted her choice.

And there were no moments when you wanted to quit everything: unsuccessful auditions, closed doors?

The acting profession is a continuous series of worries. Take on the role - happiness. They won't take it - as if the world had collapsed. And sometimes a dream role appears and you are surprised: the auditions were so bad, but they took you. (Laughs.) But I like it even more: it allows you to see the prospects, to stay in good shape.

The publicity of the profession probably also keeps in good shape: after all, you are constantly in sight - at premieres and red carpets ...

I have several proven stylists with whom I am on the same wavelength. They know that in an outfit I should not only look, but also feel like a queen - that's when everyone will notice it. Therefore, I will never wear a super-beautiful thing if I feel that it does not quite suit me. And my parents taught me from childhood that looking like everyone else is a sign of bad taste. You need to find something special and mix any branded dress with original details. In this regard, domestic designers are very helpful - Rasario, Alexander Terekhov, A LA RUSSE Anastasia Romantsova: they will always warn those who have recently taken a similar outfit, make sure that everything is exclusive.

Is there a similar approach to publications in America?

Here it is more difficult: black tie is strictly observed here, even at the Oscars everyone comes in seasoned suits. In Russia, there are more opportunities to show your individuality on the red carpet. For example, I am very glad that in Sochi at the opening of last year's Kinotavr, stylist Alesya Matyashchuk and I sculpted a dream dress together. According to her sketches, in one of the fashion ateliers, a wonderful flying dress was sewn, lush, with a wasp waist. True, no matter how much I loved the gloss of evening dresses and social events, after the ball, like Cinderella, I prefer to dress in more comfortable clothes. But then I still start to miss the red carpet. (Laughs.)

With such a love for the profession, it is probably not easy for you to build relationships with loved ones?

Therefore, I preferred the option of relatives who also love cinema very much. (Laughs.) After all, an ordinary man will not understand all the subtleties of my work: that there are overtime and night shifts, that I can leave at one in the morning and return only during the day. And at the same time I will look absolutely satisfied - because I like what I do. What man would want such a life? Only one that is itself associated with art.

You are a sought-after actress, your companion is a director. Is it easy for two creative people to get along?

When we first met, Marius offered me a role in the film "Eight Best Dates", but I immediately answered no. I then starred in three films in the lead roles, a small role was useless. But he, in response to the refusal, offered to develop my character. This only strengthened my decision to refuse: I suspected that he had sympathy for me, and decided not to aggravate, because I was against office romances they just get in the way. And then he just invited me to a cafe. We talked for six hours in a row, we turned out to have similar views on many things. For example, the fact that work should remain work, and personal life should exist separately. And since then, we have been prioritizing.

Has pregnancy affected your priorities?

To be honest, I have not yet fully realized that I will soon become a mother, so I think about work a lot and often! In 2016, the release of two of my paintings is planned - "Lost" and "Love with Limits". There are several projects in development, so I'm not slowing down - I'm still on my toes. (Smiling.)

I congratulate you on the premiere of the film "Grandmothers of Easy Virtue". In whose head was born the enchanting scenario about a swindler hiding in the form of a grandmother from bandits in a nursing home?

Marius: The idea was proposed by Sasha Revva, who loves to transform. He told me all the time: "Marius, let's do something together, I have an idea - I'm a grandmother, I end up in a nursing home." Honestly, for a long time I didn't know how to approach this story. At some point, I realized that if you make him not quite an old grandmother, but one like Barbara Streisand, and take Sasha’s mother as a prototype, then you can get a very funny, fashionable and fresh story. I began to work on the script, and for a long time we brought it to the standard. It is clear that there is nothing new in the concept itself, because the artists have been dressing up as women since the days of “Only Girls in Jazz”. The hardest part was making a really fresh film on an old theme.

- What do you remember about the shooting?

Marius: For me it was an extremely difficult film from a technical and production point of view. There are a lot of tricks in it, plastic make-up, which took two and a half hours of a shooting day, a lot of objects, elderly artists. Moreover, we started shooting in the fall, and it instantly, almost two weeks after the start of filming, turned into a fierce winter.

Natasha: With rain, hail, blizzard and frost ...

Marius: In the scene where Natasha leaves the entrance with a suitcase, we literally had to break, melt the ice, remove snow from under our feet and cover the ground with golden leaves.

Natasha: A piece of autumn was recreated in the courtyard, and it was winter around, and I was standing in a summer coat, waiting for Sasha Revva. Or there was a scene after which I came down with a sore throat - where I get out into the hatch of a car flying into the cold at breakneck speed. I asked Sasha not to accelerate, but he was driving 70 km/h. I have a bottle of champagne that almost freezes, sticks to my hand, wild cold, and I shout: “We are happy, we are rich!” There are two blankets wound on the back - it’s not easy to stick out of the hatch of a car at such a speed when you are simply nailed to the hatch by the wind. They did several takes, and as a result, a big bruise formed on my back, no blankets could save me.

- Did you work together for the first time as a director and an actress?

Natasha: Yes. By the way, when Marius and I met, it turned out that I watched his films, but did not know that he was their director. He saw me somewhere, but did not understand that I was an actress. It so happened that we first began a personal relationship. And only then, after a while, Marius began to try me on his projects.

Marius: Natasha turned out to be a wonderful comedic actress. Honestly, unexpectedly, in my opinion, even for herself.

Natasha: In "Grandmother of easy virtue" I have a small role, but bright enough. I play the accomplice of a swindler - the hero of Sasha Revva, I try to throw him for money. And Marius only later, after the completion of filming, realized that comedy was mine, and I understood this too. And in January, another film by Marius is released - “ Night shift', where I have the main role. I play stripper there. For the sake of this project, I learned to dance on the pole.

- Marius, I remember you said not so long ago that you were going to make a thriller. Ready to change your favorite genre - comedy?

Marius: The story is completely unique. I ran after this Hollywood script for four years, tried to buy the Russian-language rights to it. And finally, the writer gave me the rights to a Russian-language remake. Shooting in the spring next year. Sasha Petrov will play the main role, I also want to invite Evgeny Mironov. I haven’t decided on the heroine yet: the producers are talking about Sasha Bortich, in principle I don’t mind - I like the actress Bortich.

- What is the story about? Already have a name?

Marius: The movie is called Down. A story about two young happy newlyweds who are waiting for Honeymoon. The guys run into the registry office, sign, then run for money to dad - a girl from a wealthy family, happy, kissing, filming each other on an iPhone - in general, complete happiness. They run into the elevator of a skyscraper, and a third man enters with them. They go down in an elevator and get stuck on some floor, the three of them in this elevator, they are late for the plane. At first, all the giggles - hakhanki, try to get through to the dispatcher, but at some point they realize that they were stuck for a reason and that this man was with them for a reason ... I liked this story first of all because I somehow managed to bring it out during adaptation her into a dramatic plane. That is, I hope that I can create a sense of drama, with a philosophical background about what a family is, what real love how it differs from the first happy family year when butterflies in the stomach.

Two halves of one whole

- Probably, it is difficult to be together all the time, both at work and at home?

Natasha: We are two Aries, in many ways very similar, and in Lately We often understand each other without words. Marius can say: “You know, it seems to me that this is where you need it, you can hang it here ...”. I say, “Okay,” without asking too many questions, because I understand what he is talking about. That is, we think in unison, live, work, love. For me, the family is a priority, despite the fact that the work is in full swing and the character is not easy, but Marius treats this with understanding. I am hyperactive, and, unfortunately, I don’t cook at all, for me the kitchen is something very alien ... A year ago, I still promised myself to learn, but everything got even worse - I cook scrambled eggs, they burn me. I have completely forgotten how, although I do some attempts, I try. Marius says to me: "Well, I poured oatmeal, poured it with boiling water, here's your breakfast." So I will definitely burn myself, or fill it with cold water, because I forgot to press the button on the kettle to make it boil. I mean, not mine at all. I am grateful to Marius that he treats this with understanding. Otherwise, I can do anything: I organize life according to full program, garbage is thrown out on time, house cleaning, everything is clean, ironed, washed.

Natalia: I don't cook at all, for me the kitchen is something alien. But Marius is sympathetic to this. Photo: Andrey Salov

- That is, you are an ideal hostess in everything except cooking.

Marius: She is the perfect top manager of the household (laughs). But for me it is not so important. That is, of course, important, but I understand that ideal people can not be.

- Maybe Marius cooks wonderfully?

Natasha: He doesn’t cook either, well, this is not our story. Nobody cooks with us, but we are so beautiful and slender, we don’t bother with the topic of food at all.
Marius: In general, I think one should do what brings pleasure, truly inspires. A person who loves to cook, he comes to the store and thinks: "But this will go well with this, and now I'll add this." Cooking - Absolutely creative process. Natasha cannot be forcibly realized in the kitchen, she is realized in another. For me, family is not necessarily cooking. If this aspect did not work out for my beloved woman, for me it is not a tragedy at all. There are other things in which she is beautiful, as a wife.

- What Natasha's talents will you note?

Marius: Firstly, she is an absolutely brilliant repair engineer, she has golden hands. For example, Natasha can easily assemble a closet, design a kitchen, her hands are shaking, she likes it so much. And I can’t even come close to this, I don’t understand where and what to twist. He does not know where our tools are at home - a screwdriver, a drill. Natasha has engineering thinking, she could be a very cool architect.

Natasha: Just yesterday I collected three bookcases. Although there are masters, but I take away their work, I say, “You twist it crookedly, slowly, I’d rather do it myself.”
Marius: And then, she is a devoted person, whom I completely trust, with whom we have absolutely the same worldview. And this is much more important to me than cooking. She and I really, as they say, live soul to soul, we understand what anyone likes, without intruding into each other's space when it is not necessary. We have found a certain harmony and symbiosis, and at the same time we live a really happy, healthy and friendly family. This is the first time in my life.

- I wonder what was the longest parting of yours?

Natasha: Marius recently went to Vyborg for a festival for two whole days, I missed him so much.

Marius: Well, we parted for a long time when Natasha was pregnant and lived in our house in Los Angeles, and I worked here in Russia

- Some couples say that it is necessary to part, it is very useful for relationships.

Natasha: I used to think so too, but now I can’t understand why it is necessary to leave? But all the same, we part during the day - he goes to sports, I go to sports, he goes somewhere and I go about my business. But we don’t have such that we get tired of each other, we feel good together. We have the feeling that we, like puzzles, in a sense, complement each other, like two halves.

Marius: I have never had such a good time with a person… What can you rest from when you are not tired? Moreover, I know what it is to get tired of a person. When he has a different energy, a slightly different worldview, and so on, then either she or you have to adjust all the time, and this happens very often.

Natasha: We do not load each other, we can be close and silent, hugging, but at the same time everyone works, is busy with something of his own, I read, he does something. I can mess around in the kitchen, assemble another cupboard, for example, Marius is editing his movie, but, nevertheless, the feeling that we are nearby is there, and this makes it good and comfortable. We do not hammer each other, that if we met, we must definitely solve some problems. Because I also have such a trait and Marius has it, but somehow we don’t have any problems.

Marius: Natasha and I have the same worldview, and this is much more important to me than cooking. Photo: Andrey Salov

- So, in past relationships, these problems arose?

There were. That is, we met: “So, we need to decide this, do something about it.” Constantly such conversations among people, and about jealousy, and about life, and about something else. We do not have this at all and, thank God, because we have neither the time nor the desire for this. Everyone has such a crazy life now, would find time, just hugging silently.

director's wife

Natasha, as the director's wife, do you have the right, as they say, on the first night - to read the script first, to choose a role for yourself?
Natasha: No, I don't want to choose my role just because I'm a wife. And I also tell Marius this. I read the script and go to the audition, like everyone else. Although everyone says to me, "What's wrong with that, all directors film their wives." I will not be offended if he gives the role to another actress, and even more than that, I even offer him actresses.

Marius: Yes, she helps me a lot with casting.

Natasha: I help with the casting, I already know all the actors, and many of his acquaintances are in the lead roles. Because it is important for me that Marius has a successful project. There are roles that do not suit me, or I don’t want to, or I can’t play them, or even I’m afraid. There may be different situations. And then, I would not want him to have some kind of restriction - a wife ...

Marius: And I can’t really imagine that I will shoot it in explicit scenes… I have serious love lines where I need two people to have fire, romance. With Natasha, I will be uncomfortable, I won’t be able to invest in it myself, I won’t be able to really direct it.
- Does everything have to be real for you?

Marius: Yes. And here, firstly, for the actor - this is my wife, that is, he already plays in a completely different way. It turns out that there is a complete conflict of interest inside.

Natasha: Of course, I don't want to be a part of it either. That it was to the detriment of the film or to the detriment of the relationship. Who needs these unnecessary emotions.

Marius: But I understand, of course, that she is an actress, this cannot be avoided, but I myself am not going to take part in this. Natasha consults with me in any case, but we have no taboos or prohibitions.

Natasha: We have, as it were, by default in the family such an agreement: you are wise. Everyone is responsible for himself, but everyone understands in his head how clean he is internally. In comedy, everything is easy, there are basically no such passions, after all, the genre is different. But now I would not want to play some kind of difficult relationship, love, passion. I’m not ready to act in this, because I don’t know how to act and not feel, I completely immerse myself in the role. But I do not want to experience all this, because it will be contrary to my family values. There is quite a lot of other work, a different genre, where you don’t have to break yourself in something and hurt a loved one.

Achieved two years

- Readers, of course, want to know the history of your acquaintance. Who has his eyes on whom?

Marius: I've had my eye on Natasha for a long time. Although, we did not know each other, I just saw her in photographs, maybe on TV once. Been texting her for a while, trying to ask her out, set up a work meeting, whatever, just wanted to get to know her. I came up with various reasons, but for a couple of years there was complete silence. I thought - in a relationship, probably living with someone, and I didn't want to get involved. But unobtrusively, once every six months, he wrote something, you never know, suddenly the situation will change ... Then we finally met.

Natasha: We met in person at a party two years ago. I remember we were sitting with girlfriends, and someone dragged Marius to our women's table. He sat, looked at me carefully and said goodbye, "I'll write to you again."

Marius: Yes, she didn't answer me.

Natalya: we are two Aries, we are similar in many ways, and lately we often understand each other without words. Photo: Andrey Salov

Why were they ignored?

Natasha: Firstly, I had a relationship, and secondly, I never met on the Internet at all. I have never been attracted by prospects, neither directing, nor money, none, it doesn’t matter to me. I have only this: I saw, I was hooked, that's all. But still, fate brought us together.

- Marius wrote again, and you still answered?

Natasha: Wrote. I already realized that it wouldn’t work out directly, I started sending me scripts, and I told him: “This is a small role, I won’t play it.” But he behaved so gallantly, wrote so kindly, and called for his birthday, and already called everywhere. And most importantly, unobtrusively, but regularly. And I decided that I still need to pay attention to this. She wrote: “Well, okay, we can drink tea, just talk about work.” We met and sat on our first date for six hours, the restaurant was closed, we were expelled from there, and we could not talk enough. Everything is in a heap: about work, and about prospects, and about hopes, and about dreams, and in general about everything. And there were five such dates, we sat for five or six hours, we could not close our mouths for a second, and then we no longer parted.

Marius: I went to Kyiv to shoot a movie, we talked on the phone, I flew in as soon as I could, for one day. It was such a beautiful story.

Natasha: He generally flew in in the morning, flew away in the evening, walked with me during the day and left. I was in Kyiv, and constantly sent flowers with postcards. I was regularly called by an unfamiliar number, I picked up the phone and heard: “Hello, where do you deliver the flowers?”. And all the time there were such romantic cards if I got sick or something. All of them I have kept.

- For you, the most valuable quality in Marius, his main feature character that won you over?

Natasha: He is warm and he is responsible. This is something that I very rarely see in people. That is, if Marius said, he will do it. In addition, he is well-mannered, very kind, sympathetic, he will always regret. If there is any problem, he will help. If I get sick, he will run all over Moscow to buy medicines. In general, for me, he is the perfect man.

- All these qualities were influenced by the fact that Marius has been living in America for more than 20 years?

Natasha: Yes, there is merit in that. Because many Russian men are constantly looking for, it seems to me, some kind of trick: “Where is the poop?”. We all live like this: “Now something will happen.” But this is not the case in Marius, he always believes in everyone, looks at the world with open eyes. And he has no figs in his pocket. I also began to learn this from him, and I’m already scared, because I, too, become the same, kindness absorbs, and everyone already seems good to you.

Natalia: Marius took me to Hawaii and proposed there. It was so cool, just magical! Photo: Andrey Salov

- Where do you spend most of your time, where is your home now?

Marius: We used to live in Los Angeles for a long time, but now there is a lot of work here. Since we settled in Moscow for half a year, we have been equipping an apartment, finishing building a dacha.

wedding is not far off

- A year ago there was information that Marius proposed, and you are preparing for the wedding. But there is still no word about the wedding itself. Are you still married or not?

Marius: No, we are not married, but we will definitely get married. This year turned out to be very difficult at work, we simply do not have time physically.

Natasha: Marius took me to Hawaii and made a very nice proposal there. It was so cool, just magical. For me, this is a very personal moment, I told very few people about it. I just posted a photo on Instagram that day with the date and wrote: “Let this stay here.” We have already bought the rings, but so far there is absolutely no time.

Marius: We choose a place in Moscow, shoot ourselves. After all, it is necessary to organize everything really well, to gather all the friends. And now we have a lot of things: a dacha outside the city was built, repairs in the apartment, work. But we don’t have anything that we need urgently, urgently, we have nowhere to rush, because everything is great with us anyway. On the contrary, there will be something to look forward to.

Natasha: We are not in a hurry. The wedding will not run away from us, the rings are lying, it remains only to call friends. I'm in no hurry because I'm the bride. Every day I wake up as a bride. I prolong my pleasure. And it's so cool.

They wanted a daughter, but an awesome son was born

- And why has no one seen your son, Weisberg Jr., where you have been hiding him for the second year already? What's his name?

Natasha: They named him Eric, in honor of Papa Marius. And our godfather is Pasha Derevianko, our great friend. We do not specifically hide our son, we will definitely show it, but we are waiting for some special occasion and moment for this. We already have almost our whole life in public, everyone sees everything, everyone knows everything. Somehow I want to have something of my own, so that the child does not have to be terrorized by these photographs. Because this is his world, to which we treat warmly and reverently.

- Tell us about Eric, what is he, who does he look like?

Natasha: Oh, he's so cool, just an angel. To be honest, sometimes I'm even afraid to show it to my friends. Although I am not superstitious, I think that people are all different, and there are not very kind people. I don't want any negativity towards the baby. He's so cool with us! He looks like Marius, a real dad's son. Smiling, laughing all the time. Now Marius will show you.

Marius flips through his phone photos of a charming blond toddler, with long wavy hair. Little Eric is very similar to his dad, but his eyes are bright blue - he has exactly his mother's.

Marius: We have lovely baby. But it is still so small, so defenseless that it is very scary to destroy that idyll where the child is in a cocoon of happiness and love ... He is happy, smiling, he is, pah, pah, pah, healthy. And that's why, why should we publish his photo? I do not think that a small child should be taken somewhere, shown, because for him it is stress ... Let him mature a little, take shape. When we came with him from America, Eric was just a baby, and now I look at him and see that he has already become stronger, he is already such an independent man, he walks by himself. Now it’s already comfortable for me to go somewhere with him, take him with me so that he can talk to someone. A wonderful grandmother, Natasha's mother, helps us a lot. Soon my mother will come to help.

- Did you immediately want a child, or did this news become pleasant, but unexpected?

Marius: To be honest, we didn't plan anything, it just happened. But we treated each other so tenderly and touchingly that we could not imagine that now we would do something other than give birth. In general, when I met Natasha, I immediately realized that this is the woman with whom I want both a child and everything else. Maybe, again, because we are two Aries, everything is quite organic with us. We do not plan anything, we do not force anything. But we value some main things, treat them with care, so as not to offend each other, in no case offend, we protect each other emotionally. The son is now the most important thing for us, as they say, our main common project. In Spain we conceived it. And after some time, Natasha says to me: “Imagine ...”. I exclaimed: “What a thrill!”. And that's it. By and large, everything turned out so naturally that we didn’t have any dilemmas, we did it, we gave birth, we are growing now.

- It was important for you who will be born, a boy, girls, or is it all the same?

Marius: Both wanted a girl, but an awesome boy was born, and now I can’t even imagine that it could not be him ...

- Well, probably, you won’t stop at one child?

Natasha: I just want Marius to get fat next time, give birth, then lose weight (laughs).

I didn’t resort to masks made from natural products, I can only put a cucumber under my eyes or strawberries on my cheeks. In general, the secret of radiant skin is simple: full healthy sleep, proper nutrition and positive attitude.

About Botox and beauty injections

I am very afraid of injections, and I found an alternative procedure L.Raphael. Its main ingredient is diamonds. They are ground into micro-fine dust, which, when applied locally with a strong stream of air, gently exfoliates the skin, smoothing its texture and tone, as well as restoring natural radiance.

I could resort to more serious salon cosmetic procedures (like Botox or mesotherapy) only after 45 years, if everything goes really bad (laughs).

About nutrition, sports and strip plastic

Despite the fact that I am a fan of healthy eating, sometimes I still allow myself anti-fasting days when I can eat, for example, a burger or pizza. But mostly I eat fairly bland food without salt and pepper. I always try to listen to my body and eat what it needs. In the morning I eat chia seeds seasoned with coconut or rice milk, with fruit. I usually have soup for lunch, salad or fish for dinner.
