Many people think that the offspring of celebrities live easily, and everything is given to them by birthright, and not by their own merits. Perhaps someone does. However, if you are a representative of the creative profession, you have to show yourself what you know how and what you cost.
Nikolai Efremov is a descendant of a well-known artistic family name, the grandson of Russian celebrity and the favorite of the audience Oleg Nikolayevich Efremov (1927-2000), the creator of the Sovremennik Theater. The actor’s parents are no less famous - this is People’s Artist of the Russian Federation Evgenia Dobrovolskaya and Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Mikhail Efremov. Nicholas himself became recognizable after filming in the comedy fantasy "Book of Masters". In total, his portfolio contains a little more than ten films.
Biography
The future actor was born in Moscow in 1991. From childhood, he was surrounded by an atmosphere of creativity and theatricality in the good sense of the word. Parents tried to give Kolya the opportunity to develop their talents, and gave him to the children's vocal and musical group "Fidgets". Misha went to this studio for several years and thus prepared for the future profession: the children not only sang, but also engaged in stage speech and acting.
Seeing before his eyes an example of his father and older brother Nikita, Misha decided to become an actor too. He entered GITIS, the acting department, where Alexey Borodin was its leader. This teacher brought up such stars of Russian cinema as Chulpan Khamatova, Mikhail Policeitsimako, Nelly Uvarova.
Movie career
By the time he entered the university, Nikolai already had experience in cinema: as a teenager, he starred in a joint Russian-Belarusian project - the drama "Dunechka" (2004), together with his father Mikhail Efremov, as well as actors Vladimir Zherebtsov, Igor Bochkin and others. It was a wonderful experience when Nikolai was able to watch the game of real masters and take part in this action. Later, he was very proud that his contribution was to the success of the film: Dunechka received the Grand Prix of the Moscow Premiere festival and several awards of international film festivals.
In 2008, director Roman Prygunov selected Efremov for his role in the film "Indigo" about children with supernormal abilities. Nikolai played here a friend of Zakhar (actor Pavel Yasenok). And it was again an excellent acting school, in which Gosha Kutsenko, Artem Tkachenko, Maria Shukshina and others were colleagues and teachers at the same time. After graduation, Nikolai starred in the film "Book of Masters", which made him truly recognizable. This fabulously fantastic film also turned out to be very successful. Efremov got an interesting role: he created the image of the young man in love Kuzma, who, as a subject of sighing, chose not someone, but a real princess.
In recent years, the films Aunts (2013), Island (2016), and Double Solid (2017) have appeared in the actor’s portfolio. Also recently, Nikolai played in the play "Plant a Tree" with his father - Mikhail Olegovich. Critics noted that the play can become very popular because it raises a hot topic: the relationship of fathers and children.
