The main actor of the USSR aged early.

In the early 60s, Nikolai Rybnikov was considered a star of the first magnitude. The actor became megapopular in the USSR after the release of the films “Height” and “Spring on Zarechnaya Street.” His status was secured by the comedy “Girls”, but the role of foreman Ilya could elude him.

At the time of filming, Rybnikov was 31 years old. But when he first came to the studio, he stunned everyone with his appearance. Nikolai Nikolaevich appeared with thinning hair and a huge bulging belly. It was unheard of for the first guy in the timber industry to look like a 50-year-old uncle.

Rybnikov was refused to appear in the film until he had lost 20 kilograms. The actor so badly wanted to get the role that he agreed to this condition. Nikolai Nikolaevich got rid of his stomach, his bald patches were hidden under a wig, and his appearance was rejuvenated with the help of makeup.

However, Rybnikov soon returned to his former form. Just look at the footage from the film “Hockey Players”, which was released just three years after “Girls”. The actor played a coach and appeared with a huge belly and bald patches. Despite his young age, he looked like he was in his 50s. It is extremely difficult to recognize Rybnikov in this image.
