Biography of actor Maxim Matveev
Maxim was born at the end of July 1982 in the small town of Svetly in the Kaliningrad Region. The boy’s relatives were far from art, and he himself dreamed of becoming either a surgeon or a lawyer.
Up to 10 years, Maxim did not make any plans for the future at all, he liked to sit with his mother in the library or watch a new movie for free in the cinema, where his grandmother worked as a ticketer. Toys for the boy, according to his own sketches, were made by his grandfather with his own hands.
At the age of 10, Maxim’s life underwent dramatic changes - his mother got married and they moved to his stepfather, in the Sverdlovsk region. To protect the boy from the influence of the street, his parents decided to take his time to the maximum - they took him to the school of fine art, insisted on visiting an extracurricular acting group.
Maxim’s independence and rebellion manifested itself only in the upper grades. A teenager going to a gold medal suddenly began to neglect homework and study at the school as a whole, grew long hair, and began to listen to heavy metal.
