On December 1, 2011, the film directed by Pavel Buslov "Vysotsky. Thank you for being alive" was released, the son of the poet Nikita Vysotsky acted as screenwriter of the film. Despite the fact that the film was rented in cinemas, for many it remains a secret who played Vysotsky himself in this film.
Initially, the role was supposed to be given to the son of Vladimir Semenovich, and part-time scriptwriter of the film, Nikita Vysotsky. Nikita Vladimirovich specifically for this role lost extra pounds, caught up muscles, “cubes” on his stomach and learned to play the seven-string guitar. He was the first on whom they tried makeup. Make-up artists took 6 hours. Subsequently, this idea was abandoned, because, according to Vysotsky Jr., he and his father are different in both texture and psychophysics. According to the authors of the film, the secret of the name of the actor who played Vysotsky is a kind of move. Inertia, when the name of the artist is known, can interfere with the perception of the picture, as well as the background of the artist himself. Both the actor and the crew made a unanimous decision so far not to reveal the secret of the name. According to the authors of the film, they did not have the task of making a double of Vladimir Semenovich, it was necessary to create the image of the poet. But without the appearance and voice of Vysotsky does not exist, so the image turned out to be as close as possible. All participants in the process are sure that the name of the actor will be revealed in the near future. The poet’s son believes that the performer performed an acting and human feat. None of the artists who starred in the film, and the film crew did not know who played Vysotsky. In the picture, a character created using silicone-plastic makeup and computer technology acts as a poet. The debate about the name of the actor who played the poet continued throughout the premiere. On the Internet, many sites voted for artists approved for this role. Someone voted for Vdovichenkov, someone for Bezrukov or Nikita Vysotsky. Now it became known that Vladimir Semenovich Vysotsky in the film "Vysotsky. Thank you for being alive" played by Sergei Bezrukov.
