Childhood years
The future actor was born on January 11, 1972. His native city is Leningrad. It was here that Kostya's childhood years passed, except for 4 years, when the boy's parents lived in Nizhnevartovsk.
Khabensky grew up in an intelligent family. About the career of an actor, he did not even think about it. In childhood, the boy did not go to drama clubs, did not participate in amateur performances, although, becoming a teenager, liked to pobrenchat on the guitar, "hanging out" with friends in the transitions. His only wish was to finish school faster. After 8 classes he entered the technical school of aviation instrumentation. After studying for 3 years and deciding that it was not his, Kostya left the school.
In search of himself, the guy did not disdain any work, then got into the theater-studio "Saturday". Some time he was a stage worker, after he began to participate in the crowd. For the first time feeling the incomparable pleasure of contact with the hall, he decided to become an actor.
Theater career
After graduating from LGITMiK, Konstantin Khabensky got into the troupe of the theater "Crossroads", then moved to "Satirikon" named after Arkady Raikin. Roles that he had to play at that time, were mostly minor, and the newly minted actor wanted something more. The search for work led him to the stage of the Lensoviet Theater. Many viewers remember him for the performances "Woyzeck", "Waiting for Godot", "Caligula". The main role played by him in the last production so liked Tabakov that he invited him to his "Tabakerka".
Khabensky's debut on the stage of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater in the play "Duck Hunt" was very successful. A year later, he was officially accepted into the troupe of this illustrious theater. On the stage, the actor did not come out often, but each work was bright and memorable.
From episodic roles to the star of the screen
The first roles in the movie got Khabensky mostly by accident. In 1991, he lit up in a short film "Pastime", and three years later starred in a small episode in the comedy "On whom God will send".
But his real debut was the appearance in the drama "Home for the Rich". For this motion picture, the artist received an award in the category of "Best Role". The movie became a kind of launching pad in the creative biography of Konstantin. After him, the actor began to be actively invited to various projects.
The first fame was brought to him by the TV series "Killing Force". It is noteworthy that the role of the operative he again received by pure luck. The director, looking at the tired but smiling actor, took him to the project without probes.
Famous throughout the country Khabensky became when the first domestic blockbuster "Night Watch" Bekmambetov, accustomed to work with the scope. The scale of the movie, as well as its budget, were prohibitive. Blockbuster broke all records, becoming the most box-office tape, and the artist joined the ranks of the most famous domestic actors.
In 2008, Konstantin Khabensky appeared in 2 pictures at once: "Admiral" and "The Irony of Fate" (remake). Reviews of critics and the public turned out to be contradictory, but the game artist liked everyone.
In the same 2008 Khabensky again managed to work with Bekmambetov during the filming of Hollywood blockbuster "Particularly Dangerous". After the release of the tape about the actor learned abroad.
Over the next few years, the filmography of the popular artist was replenished with a number of films, among them:
- "Vykrutasy";
- "Geographer Globus propyl."
- "Christmas Trees 1914".
In 2016, the screens came out "The Collector", which became an acting benefit of Khabensky: throughout the entire 75 minutes in the movie appears only Konstantin himself. Although the action of the picture unfolds in the office, and dialogues are conducted over the phone, viewers follow the plot, not breaking away for a minute.
In the same year, fans of Khabensky saw his idol in the movie "Good Boy", where he played the role of a bored father of the family. And such a sharp change of role once again confirmed his professionalism.
Personal life
About his personal life, Konstantin Khabensky does not like to spread. Fans of the artist can judge about it only by a few articles in the media.
Currently, the actor is married for the second time. The first wife of the artist was a girl named Anastasia, with whom he met in 1999. The wedding took place in January 2000. The celebration was very modest, in the cafe gathered only a narrow circle of friends.
In 2007, the family had a son Ivan. And soon after it was discovered that Khabensky's wife has a brain tumor. To save the young woman, she made an operation, a couple of weeks later - another one. But everything was in vain. Trying to help his wife, Konstantin sold almost all the property, took on any role, got into debt. Having collected the necessary amount, he was able to move Anastasia to a clinic in Los Angeles. There, doctors achieved remission and discharged her, believing that the woman will live for 10 years. But just a year later, Nastya died.
This loss was a strong blow for the artist. Konstantin completely withdrew into himself, his son Vanya for a while sent to live with his mother-in-law in the United States and communicated with him only through the Internet.
A little recovered from the loss, Khabensky created a charitable foundation. The main direction of its activities - to help children with cancer.
