Gosha Kutsenko told how he went to see Mikhail Efremov “for advice”. At the time, Efremov was still serving time behind bars, and Kutsenko was preparing for a role in the TV series Get on Your Feet.
In the story, his hero is released from prison after a long period of imprisonment and tries to improve his relationship with his daughter. Kutsenko spent three hours asking his colleagues about the details of the condemned man's life, write 7 days.
“We communicated through glasses and three hours passed instantly,” Gosha said.
For this role, the brutal artist had to significantly change his appearance.
“I remember I went to the audition and the director Pasha Timofeev said, “Oh my God, you need to lose weight and change.” I had to lose 12 kg,” Kutsenko recalls.
