An artist who, due to superstition, sometimes changes his own name in the credits. The person who provokes conflicting emotions for himself and for his heroes is Ivan Okhlobystin.
Ivan Ivanovich Okhlobystin was born on July 22, 1966 in the Tula region. The uneven-aged family of Ivan was not related to the actors: the 62-year-old military doctor and the 19-year-old student engineer-economist, who later married a second time and gave birth to Ivan's brother.
At the end of school, the artist went to receive a director's education at VGIK, which he interrupted for military service. After restoration at the institute, he became an active public figure. He was later elected secretary of the Union of Cinematographers of the USSR.
Occasionally, the surname of Okhlobystin can be found in theatrical productions: "Villain, or the Creek of a Dolphin" and "Maximilian the Pillar" (Moscow Art Theater).
The actor tried his hand as a journalist and made several reports for the magazine "Capital", then went on to work on the weekly "Vesti".
In early 2001, it became known that Ivan was ordained a priest by the Archbishop of Tashkent and Central Asia Vladimir (Ikim) in the Tashkent diocese. However, the Tashkent heat prevented Ivan from serving God, and at the end of the year the family returned to Moscow. The actor ended his ministry in 2010, after addressing Patriarch Kirill for removal from service.
