Who is Artur Pirozhkov, probably everyone who is even slightly familiar with domestic show business knows. This bright and charismatic guy is hard not to notice and single out from the galaxy of the same type of artists. However, the work of Arthur, and his appearance, and demeanor resonate in society. One often hears criticism of him, although the army of fans of the comedian's talent is growing every year.
Alter ego or real?
Most people know that Pirozhkov is a pseudonym. Before the start of his solo career, this macho singer was known under a different name, which, by the way, is also modified. Who is Arthur Pirozhkov really? The guy playing the role of everyone's favorite and seducer, in reality, is called Alexander Revva.
The hosts of the show, in which the artist performed, presented him to the public only as A. Revva. But the name of his ancestors, who once lived inB altics, – Erva.
Alexander's path to fame was far from fast, he won his popularity for many years. Throughout these years, the audience often saw him in completely different images, but Arthur Pirozhkov, of course, became one of the most striking and resonant. Who is this person? How close is this character in spirit to Alexander himself? According to the artist, this is just a project, mostly "banter". The artist came up with the idea of creating it after talking with bodybuilders obsessed with their own appearance and irresistibility.
Early years
So, who is Arthur Pirozhkov, he is Alexander Revva? This is a guy from Donetsk (Ukraine), who in his youth did not even think about the career of an artist, and even more so did not dare to dream of the current frenzied popularity. He was born in 1974, he has a twin sister Natalia. The comedian's childhood passed in a female environment, he lived with his mother, grandmother and sister, but his father left them. In his school years, the boy, as now, was a ringleader and humorist. Parodying at Brezhnev's lessons, he answered at the blackboard, gave concerts to his family at home, knew how to amuse friends and classmates.
Who is Arthur Pirozhkov, whose biography is the life story of A. Revva, we might not know. The artist thought about going to a theater institute, but the pragmatism and insistence of his mother took over. He entered two educational institutions - the Donetsk Polytechnic Institute and the Academy of Management. He finished the last one, but he took the documents from the Polytechnic University six months laterstudy.
From economist to stand-up artist
In 1995, the guy tried himself in KVN. At first, it was not a serious hobby for him. Such activities did not bring income, Alexander worked as a mechanic at the mine, along the way he wrote jokes and scripts for performances for other teams. One of his works was bought by Burnt by the Sun. These guys were able to persuade their author to try himself as a team member and did not fail, because Revva's success was amazing.
Inimitable sense of humour, openness and real talent - that's what took the audience Alexander Revva (Arthur Pirozhkov). The biography of the artist in these years is also rich in another significant event - in 2003 he met his future wife Angelica.
Alexander managed to get his bearings in show business trends in time and, after leaving KVN, began with his acquaintances in the humorous workshop G. Martirosyan, P. Volya and other people from the Club of the cheerful and resourceful to master the "western" format of comedy television shows - stand -ap. The guys managed to bring the idea to life, and their Comedy Club has been leading in the ratings for many years. It was on the stage of this show that Arthur Pirozhkov first appeared before us.
Later he moved away from this format of activity a little and took up other projects, starred in films. The film with Arthur Pirozhkov was not released alone, the most sensational are "People He", "Rzhevsky against Napoleon", "Understudy", "Grandmother of easy virtue".
How many women in lifePirozhkova?
Those who don't know who Artur Pirozhkov really is, might think that he is an incorrigible womanizer and life-breaker. However, in the life of this man there are only three women, two of which are daughters Alice (born in 2007) and Amelie (born in 2013). He and his wife have been together for almost a decade and a half. Note that no serious scandals in the life of the artist were noticed. On the contrary, he is a wonderful husband and a good father. According to Revva himself, his wife is very supportive of him in many ways, but most of all, she instills in girls warm feelings towards her father even in his absence.
Alexander has to work hard, he is often not at home, but he tries to spend all the short moments of respite with his family. The eldest daughter is very similar to her father, and not only in appearance, but also in character. Funny and very liberated, she often makes her parents and everyone around her laugh, which makes her dad incredibly happy.
Everyone's favorite, but unloved in the family
Alas, not everyone perceives positively the work of this artist. Among the latest works of Arthur Pirozhkov is the clip “Like Celentano”, the number of views of this creation has already exceeded 20 million. True, the army of fans of the sex symbol of the country does not include the most dear and dear people for him - his parents. The yellow press has repeatedly exposed viewers to acrimonious interviews with a father who speaks of his child in a not very flattering way.
It turns out that Alexander's mother does not support her son in hiscreativity. She believes that he is engaged in "gagging", that his projects have neither meaning nor taste. We do not undertake to assert the opposite and prove that Revva's works are intended for a highly intelligent public, however, we note that the clips that Artur Pirozhkov shoots ("Like Celentano" as well) belong to a special category of show business. This is a parody segment of creative activity, which should not be taken literally. But the quality of directing, Alexander's acting skills, his sense of humor and talent, as well as his ability to captivate the audience are worthy of all praise.
Music activities
Alexander Revva (since 2009) has released more than 10 clips, each of them was a hit at one time. One of the last works that Arthur Pirozhkov presented to the audience is “Like Celentano”. The video was based on the plot of an amazing film with the magnificent Adriano in the title role - "The Taming of the Shrew". The parody quickly won the audience's sympathy, as evidenced by its impressive popularity on the worldwide YouTube video hosting.
Among his other popular works are Paradise, Cry Baby, I'm a Star, Either Love. Basically, these are dance compositions, funny and a little ridiculous. There are also lyrics in Pirozhkov's repertoire. For example, he sang a duet with Vera Brezhneva, performing the romantic composition Luna.
Alternative projects
Alexander Revva is not only an artist, but also a businessman. He is a partner of Dmitry Orlinsky,well-known restaurateur in Russia. Revva is also a producer, TV presenter, and, of course, an actor with whom more than one comedy film was shot. Arthur Pirozhkov played many characters, in "Understudy" he had to play two roles at once - the famous artist Igor Uspensky and his double.
Revva's other talent could not go unnoticed. An extraordinary voice, good acting skills and excellent diction are a good basis for voicing cartoon characters. Baba Yaga (“About Fedot the Archer, a daring young man”), Voevoda, Horse and Hedgehog in the story about the adventures of Alyonushka and Yerema spoke in the voice of Revva.
Of course, this person is a very bright personality. You can relate to his work in different ways, but, in any case, he deserves respect and recognition.
