A native of the capital of our country and a native of a family far from the world of culture and art, Konstantin Shelyagin, is familiar to a wide audience by the role of a “clear guy” Ivanitch from the youth sitcom “Univer”. After completing the filming process of this series in 2018, the popular theater and film actor began to participate more actively in new projects.
Konstantin Shelyagin, in addition to acting on theater stages and film sets, is actively involved in music (recorded a solo album), prose (published a book) and composes poems. His immediate plans for the future also include the task of directing and acting with the famous American filmmaker Quentin Tarantino.
Interestingly, Konstantin is very respectful of his fans, which is manifested in his exclusion from the circulation of the word "fan" in return for the phrase "people who like my work."

In the period from 2012 to 2013, Konstantin took part in theatrical projects of the Moscow Regional Chamber Theater, and then continued his studies at the Shchukin School (directing department), which he graduated in 2017.
The cinematic career of the young artist began even at the beginning of his studies at GITIS, when he made his debut in 2006 on the set with the series “Demon in the Rib, or the Magnificent Four”. And then his filmography began to regularly replenish with new roles in the following film projects: Volkov Hour 3 (2009), Modest Journey (2010), Volkov Hour 4 (2010), Univer.
