In Soviet times, the people knew and loved not only his on-screen heroes, but also his wonderful voice, the songs performed by which didn’t sound like irons.
Childhood and youth
Ivan Popovich, whose biography originates fromApril 22, 1949, was born in the village of Osa, located in the Transcarpathian region in Ukraine. After graduating from high school, the young man went to enter the Khust Cultural and Vocational School. Education received was not enough, and Ivan became a student of the Lviv Conservatory.
Already in his student years, Ivan Popovich, photowhich can be seen in this article, became the winner of the International Youth Festival, which was held in Berlin. After a little time, the artist organized his own ensemble, which was very popular in western Ukraine.
In 1988, Ivan died mom.By coincidence, he could not even attend her funeral, as he himself was in intensive care at this time and recovered after the operation. After 12 years, he also lost his father.
Moving to Kiev
Ivan Popovich - actor with a capital letter.But now he is already a recognizable person with an established career. And at the time when he just moved to Kiev, everything was completely different. The capital taught him not only to live, but also to survive. In Lviv, he had absolutely everything:
- glory;
- friends;
- fans;
- overseas tours;
- huge apartment;
- a machine.
At one point, it all disappeared.In Kiev, I had to start from scratch. It was possible to live in a small room, where there were only bare walls. This is what prevented the artist from getting sick with "star disease". At the time of the move, Ivan was already married. His first wife, Oksana, when she saw the conditions in which to live, went back to Lviv. Some time later, she filed for divorce.
Popovich was very worried because of this, he waspainful and insulting. After all, moving to the capital for an artist is a huge professional growth. Later, Ivan admitted that he took a spouse from a very poor family, in one dress. He loved her very much and did not refuse her anything, dressed and put on shoes. Even after the divorce, she left her all his possessions. And when the artist arrived in Lviv after some time, she did not even let him on the threshold of her own apartment.
Second marriage
Ivan Popovich did not go to the bachelors for long.Together with his second wife Marichka, he worked in one area. That is how they met. When the artist released the album, the girl was engaged in its implementation. She immediately seemed to him a very reliable person. Ironically, it so happened that in the morning Ivan divorced Oksana, and after lunch he filed an application to the registry office with Marichka.
Together with the new wife, the artist settled inKiev They had nothing to live then, so I had to sell the car. The salary was very small, the young family could not even afford to buy furniture. Somehow they gathered on the mattress and slept on it right on the floor.
Ivan Popovich now
Despite the fact that the actor had to go throughMuch, he took place both as a person and as a professional. Over time, he acquired not only an apartment in the very center of Kiev, but also a luxurious office. He also owns two houses near Kiev and real estate in his native Transcarpathia. The artist says that in the capital he has very little time for personal life and entertainment. If it were not for the support of his wife, it would be very difficult for him to cope with all matters.
It was the beloved wife in 1990 gave Ivandaughter. They called it the Ukrainian name Solomiya. She inspired her father to many creative endeavors. After the birth of the child, Ivan Popovich began to work with new forces, he had a lot of ideas. True, not all of them managed to realize. The cause of many failures was, again, the material side. Once an artist admitted that almost no one cares about the culture of his native people in his country. If you do not have enough money, then no one will be engaged in your projects and promote them to the masses.
Ivan had to go through a lot in his lifeof the way. There were a lot of disappointments and trials. But now the artist is very happy, enjoying every minute spent with his family. My daughter gave Popovich a wonderful granddaughter, who was named Sofia. As before, he is ready to carry joy to the masses with his creativity. Only now it becomes more difficult to inform him of people.
