Sasha Petrov could not cope with the role of a rich womanizer and left the cinema

33-year-old Alexander Petrov is experiencing a crisis in his acting career. He is tormented, devastated and depressed. In an interview with Fyodor Bondarchuk for the TV program “Cinema in Detail” on STS, Sasha announced his retirement from cinema. No irony. The conversation was devoted to the premiere of the series “Navvoe” on one of the online platforms, where Petrov played the rich Muscovite Sanya. With a reputation as a womanizer, but, judging by the dialogues, a meager vocabulary and low intelligence. His hero, like Petrov himself, in all respects loses to his partner and friend Kostya, performed by Danila Kozlovsky.

Why is it a pity to watch Petrov in the new film project, explained the well-known film critic Natalia Rtishcheva.

– I am not at all surprised that the actor Alexander Petrov, following the TV series Nadvoe by Valery Todorovsky, once more announced his retirement from cinema. Judging by the first two episodes, Petrov and Kozlovsky, with all the enthusiasm and frenzy that only ardent youth is capable of, play first love. Dialogues of two adult men in the spirit of “Yeralash”: “Don’t be shy, Sasha, love is like that.” Even Kozlovsky went somewhere with Kozlovsky and became Petrov, such a spring drop. The absence of normal creative development in our fairy-tale cinema, when at least Kozlovsky should have grown out of Petrov, will please someone, but not me. Such Petrov-Petrov. Puppy joy, teenage glow! On the other hand, what to do when an actor has such immediacy. Such charm, charm. After all, he was worn out because of this, they mightn’t breathe without Petrov. I adored Petrov. Now this is funny and embarrassing. But he has an excellent Lopakhin at the Pushkin Theater. Someone even saw his Hamlet. To the theatre, to the theatre! All adults are there.

Her colleagues Elena Smirnova and Yulia Bris agreed with Rtishcheva’s assessment. However, some criticize Sasha on the stage of the Yermolova Theater. Honored Artist of Russia, teacher Alena Galich told Express Gazeta the story of that same Hamlet:

– Sasha was not even allowed to the first round of GITIS. But his future teacher Valery Sarkisov is famous for his love for young people, and he took him. Petrov’s acne was cured, and the same company dragged him to the theater and on the screen. Sarkisov staged the play “Hamlet” for Petrov at the Yermolova Theater. And then, lounging on a chair during an interview, Petrov announced that he was the youngest Hamlet on stage. Lies! The first was Eduard Martsevich. Unlike Petrov – with a good voice and excellent plasticity.

At the Yermolova Theater, Sasha met his current lover, Stasya Miloslavskaya. But for five years of relationship, it never came to a wedding. Before Stasi, Petrov had an affair with Irina Starshenbaum. In the new TV series Nadvoe, she played Kozlovsky’s beloved.

What will Petrov do without cinema? Perhaps he will go headlong into the hotel business. He is the owner of the Petrov Avenue hotel in his native Pereslavl-Zalessky. Rooms, each of which is decorated in the style of popular films, are not cheap – 7 thousand rubles each. per day.
