Denis Shalnykh is the son of Elena Yakovleva: photo of what he does. Elena Yakovleva spoke about her relationship with her son and daughter-in-law Yakovleva's son wedding

Denis was born into an acting family, he is the only son of Elena Yakovleva and Valery Shalny. From early childhood he became involved in the world of cinema and actors. At the age of 11, he starred in the mini-series “If we go camping tomorrow” in one of the minor roles. Then he was a cute, blond, bespectacled man who believed that he would follow in his parents’ footsteps and become an actor.

In high school, Denis decided to continue his studies abroad and entered Oxford School in the UK. After that, he returned to Russia and entered the directing department of the Moscow Humanitarian Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting. However, by the third year Denis realized that this was a dead-end path of development, since cinema was not a truly interesting area of ​​life for him. He was captured by two passions: tattoos and bodybuilding.

Elena Yakovleva: “When Denis wanted to get his first tattoo, he told me about it. Like, I want to paint a portrait of Dick, our dog, the family’s pet,” says the actress. “I was surprised: “How’s the portrait?” Is that possible?" It turned out it was possible - from the photograph. And Denis made a very beautiful portrait of Dikuni on his hand. So the first tattoo turned out to be cool and touching. I remember back then I asked: “Did it hurt?” The son admitted that he was very much.”

Having made his first tattoo in his youth, Denis did not stop there, but plunged into his “hobby” headlong. By the age of 26, 70% of his body was covered with various patterns and inscriptions. This was largely influenced by his first lover, a tattoo artist. It was she who infected Denis with a craving for “stuffing”.

The unusual appearance of the son of a famous actress aroused the curiosity of the media, and many speculations and versions arose about why the young man chose such a lifestyle. At some point, information spread that the tattoos were associated with drug addiction, but Yakovleva’s son categorically rejected this version, assuring journalists that he did not touch drugs, alcohol, or tobacco.

Elena Yakovleva: “I don’t like to scold or teach him - I myself am too careless due to my profession. Even because of his tattoos all over his face, we don’t argue. I have already accepted that this will be the biggest misfortune that will happen to Denis in his life. Thank God, he doesn’t use drugs, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink, plays sports, well, the boy has one flaw - tattoos.”

Denis also stated that he does not use steroids and anabolic steroids, preferring to lead a healthy lifestyle and shape his body only through physical activity. True, information has leaked about computer addiction associated with the passion for video games.

In 2017, Denis took part in major Russian bodybuilding competitions. He believes that the judges were biased against him because of his tattoos.

In 2017, Denis unexpectedly returned to cinema again, starring in one of the episodes of the popular Russian TV series “Sklifosovsky”.

For some time Denis Shalnykh did not study or work. He said that he plans to become a bodybuilding fitness trainer. In the spring of 2018, information appeared that Denis was attending the Rosatom School. Knowledge of English and sports experience were useful for this job. The young teacher liked the internship and said that he intends to continue working in this area.

Later it became known that Denis was trying his hand at music and created his own group. At one of the rehearsals, he injured his left hand so much that he had to do it.

The operation was performed under local anesthesia. Doctors allowed Denis's cat to be present in the operating room. The cat was previously sanitized. Denis was conscious and observed the progress of the operation. He believes that a cat in the operating room is an unprecedented case in domestic medicine.

Personal life of Denis Shalnykh

After spending several years with his first lover, Margarita, Denis broke up with her and completely erased her from his life.

In 2017, Denis married Victoria Melnikova, a young graduate of the Institute of Journalism and Literary Creativity. The wedding became known after it took place. Denis' followers on Instagram saw a photo of an unusual celebration: the young couple got by with only a bouquet and wedding rings, both looked informal. Judging by the pictures, the main guest of the wedding was Denis’s cat.

According to Elena Yakovleva, she likes her son’s chosen one, in whom she sees the complete opposite of herself. Elena believes that this girl will be able to make Denis’s life better and more harmonious.

At 56 years old, he not only does not intend to rest on his already well-deserved laurels, but also continues to work actively, playing on the theater stage and constantly acting in film and television projects. However, the workaholic star mother has a problem, which she calls nothing less than “the torment of hell.” The fact is that her 26-year-old son Denis born in marriage with actor of Sovremennik Valery Shalnykh, can’t find his place in life. The guy is thrown from side to side: he abandoned his studies in Britain, and having returned to Russia, he does not know what to do with himself.

As Elena Yakovleva says about Denis, “he is a completely separate substance: he is not like her or her husband.” Denis Shalnykh, who, due to his numerous tattoos, including on his face, now looks like a freak, has not taken root in any from educational institutions, which he abandoned almost immediately after admission, and then refused to study abroad, saying that British universities teach sciences that are completely unnecessary in Russia.


Elena Yakovleva is sadly forced to admit during a live broadcast 7days.ru: “The choice of his profession is hellish torment for me. Because Denis dropped out of the institute that my husband and I persuaded him to enroll in. We understood that we were now losing people. Many said: “Why study if there is nowhere to work?” They even sent him to London. But Denis said that they give knowledge that will not be useful at home, there is no point in learning.”

Having returned from Great Britain to Russia, Denis decided to take up bodybuilding. For his mother, this son’s hobby was a big discovery. True, in the field of pumping up muscles, the actress’s son was also unable to achieve any great results, since the young man’s first performances were unsuccessful.“Now this hobby is gone. He needs something different now, something creative. Denis says: “Mom, look at the plastic makeup! I want to do prosthetic makeup!” – explained Elena Zakharova.

Unfortunately, in Russia they don’t teach the profession of a plastic make-up artist anywhere, but there is a school in Los Angeles, however, training there costs incredible amounts of money. In the meantime, actress Elena Yakovleva complains, speaking about her 26-year-old son: “Of course, he’s throwing away the boy, he’s throwing away. He just has to decide for himself, decide for himself. Because you can't put your head on it. Of course, it was easier for us...”

By the way, if Elena Yakovleva’s son’s studies and work are not going well, he has succeeded in his personal life. In the summer of 2017, Denis Shalnykh married his beloved Victoria Melnikova. There was no magnificent wedding, as well as the outfits of the bride and groom. Denis was in black, and his chosen one was in a white shirt and skirt. Judging by the numerous joint photos on social networks, the young people live in perfect harmony, and his wife really likes Denis’s appearance.

Denis Shalnykh is an actor who became popular thanks to his extraordinary appearance and unusual lifestyle. Many people want to know what he is doing now, to see his photo. More about the biography and life of Denis Shalny, the son of Elena Yakovleva, can be found in this article.

Denis Shalnykh was born on November 7, 1992, in the family of the famous actress and actor Valery Shalnykh. His parents dreamed that the boy would follow in their footsteps - become an actor, join the theater world. When Denis was 11 years old, he starred in a minor role in the television series “If we go camping tomorrow.” Then he had his only serious role in the series “The Secret of the Wolf's Mouth.” After that, Denis did not act in films or television series.

When he graduated from high school, his parents sent him to study in England, at Oxford School. Elena Yakovleva thought that he would continue his studies in London, but after graduating from school he returned to Russia. In Moscow, he enters the Humanitarian Institute of Television and Radio, successfully passes the entrance examination and is enrolled in the directing department.

Future life

However, during his studies, he realizes that he does not want to continue his studies and the director’s path is not for him. So he quits university. Soon Denis finds a real passion for himself - sports and tattoos.

He made his first tattoo on his hand - the name of his beloved dog. Elena Yakovleva was then very touched by his love for his pet. However, she could not imagine that everything would go so seriously. His tattoos are his self-expression. He has the face of a TV presenter he doesn’t like tattooed on his hand, and on top is the inscription “horror.”

Thus, Denis, a very silent young man, tells the whole world about his preferences, his inner world, his condition.

Elena Yakovleva does not approve of the actions of her son, Denis Shalnykh, since he is unrecognizable even in the photo, but she is not against his hobby. She says that she loves her son no matter what, and also that these tattoos are the only bad thing that happened in Denis’s life.

His parents soon decided to follow their son's example. My father stopped drinking and got a tattoo on his shoulder, and Elena Yakovleva got a tattoo of a butterfly on her lower back.

Now only 30 percent of his body is not covered in paint. Denis was instilled with a love for tattoos by one girl, a tattoo artist, with whom he was in love. Margarita, that was the girl’s name, reciprocated Crazy’s feelings. They began dating, lived together for more than two years and even wanted to get married.

On social networks, Margarita changed her last name to that of her lover, preparing for the imminent wedding ceremony. However, they soon broke up. Their breakup was painful for Margarita, but Denis himself easily survived the separation.

Shalny is also interested in bodybuilding, is in good athletic shape, and has no bad habits. Some believed that the reason for Crazy's unusual appearance was his drug addiction. However, he soon assured journalists that he did not use drugs, drink or smoke, and did not even try to do so.

His adherence to a healthy lifestyle makes parents proud of their son. Denis Shalnykh even worked as a fitness trainer for some time, but soon quit this job.

He reports that he cannot find a place in life - at the moment he has not found a profession that would correspond to his character and abilities. However, the parents do not reproach their son for this, hoping that he will soon find himself in some specialty and become happy.

In 2017, he had a wedding with a student of the Faculty of Philology, Victoria Melnikova. Before that, they dated for a whole year. At first glance, it seems that they do not suit each other, but they have much more in common than different. Initially, Elena Yakovleva was against the relationship of her son, Denis Shalny, with this girl, but they soon became friends and take photos together.

Apart from the newlyweds themselves, only their witnesses and a photographer were present at the ceremony. Instead of the usual wedding suits, the bride and groom dressed simply - Victoria wore a white shirt and black skirt, and Denis wore black trousers and a shirt. Their parents gave them an apartment.

It becomes clear that Denis and Victoria love each other - they are comfortable together. After the registry office, the newlyweds went to a restaurant to celebrate this joyful event. Neither Denis nor Victoria like publicity and noisy celebrations, so they did not invite their parents to the wedding, fearing that journalists and fans of famous actors would not let them enjoy this day. However, the parents were not offended by their son, because they understand him perfectly.

Denis Shalnykh continues to look for a place in life. Now he plans to move to Los Angeles and take plastic surgery master courses there.

The only son of the actress Denis recently got married.

The famous mother was not at the wedding. Yakovleva does not like to talk about her heir. And there is apparently a reason for this...

Fair-haired, plump, smiling - in family photographs from the archives of Elena Yakovleva and Valery Shalny, their son Denis looks like such an angel that he could at least illustrate a book about a good boy.

Fresh photographs of the matured heir drive one into a stupor. What happened in the life of the actress’s son that now you can’t find a living place in him?

JAPANESE EDUCATION: ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

Moscow registry offices have probably never seen such a couple before. A young man, covered from head to toe with tattoos, and with him an excellent student: a black skirt, a white blouse - like a chorus girl from a church choir.

This summer, when he was 24 years old, Denis Shalnykh married his girlfriend, a graduate of the Institute of Journalism and Literary Creativity, Victoria Melnikova. For some reason, neither the groom's parents nor the bride's parents were at the wedding.

Although, according to friends of the couple, Elena Yakovleva has nothing against her daughter-in-law. In general, she has not contradicted her son on anything for a long time. If only he were happy...

Like any working mother, Elena went out of her way to make amends for her imaginary guilt in front of her son - she loved and spoiled him. She raised Denis according to the Japanese method - until the age of five she allowed absolutely everything.

The mothers looked at me so angry when, for example, he stood and hit some other iron object with an iron stick. But after five minutes Denis stopped doing this,” she recalls. “We’re just used to looking at what they tell you and what they think.” But you need to live and enjoy a full life - your own first of all.

Her son got his first tattoo as a teenager. I tattooed a portrait of my favorite dog, Dick, on my arm. Elena was even touched then - wow, what touching love!

Even then I asked: “Did it hurt?” The son admitted that very much.

On this I calmed down. Elena could not even imagine that soon more than 70 percent of her boy’s body would disappear under a continuous layer of drawings and inscriptions.

TANKS FOR RESULTS

Denis grew up as an ordinary guy - he did karate, sang in a rock band, and composed songs. Mom and dad dreamed that he would choose cinema.

At first, they assigned their son to work as a helper on film sets, then they sent him to study at the directing department in London.

But Denis dropped out of the institute. He returned to Russia and became interested in bodybuilding. And a girl named Rita who worked in a tattoo parlor. They say it was she who got the guy hooked.

Be that as it may, Denis became seriously interested in tattoos - with the help of body painting he not only expressed himself, but also protested to the world.

One day, for the New Year, Dinya ordered gifts via the Internet. Of course, all this was delivered three months after the holidays,” says Elena Yakovleva. - So, terribly offended by the post office, my son went and got himself a tattoo. Or, for example, there is a TV presenter whom Denis categorically does not accept. So he tattooed her portrait on his leg with the inscription “Horror.” That is, instead of freaking out, screaming, being indignant, the boy quietly mocked himself, getting one tattoo after another...

The mother could not stop this process - since the age of 20, the son has been living separately, in an apartment that his parents bought for him. Yakovleva really likes this distance: while they lived together, Denis sat locked up in his room all day, and when he moved, they began to communicate a lot. But the actress couldn’t keep track of the tattoos that were appearing...

“LET THIS BE THE BIGGEST UNHAPPINESS”

A coffin on the face and the inscription “Emptiness” on the forehead, three sixes near the eye, roses with thorns on the neck, intricate locks on the stomach and a completely black hand.

Today Denis looks menacing. Fans of the actress, discussing her son's appearance on the Internet, suggest that the young man most likely has mental problems, and advise showing him to specialists.

They argue: who in their right mind and strong memory would do this to themselves? Now it’s neither getting a job nor creating a normal family...

But neither the newly-made wife, nor even his mother are afraid of Denis’s future.

“I won’t love my son less because, as it seems to me, he has disfigured himself a little,” the actress throws up her hands. - Now we don’t even make trouble because of his tattoos all over his face. I resigned myself - let this be the biggest misfortune that will happen to Denis in his life. Thank God, he doesn’t use drugs, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink, and plays sports. Well, the boy has such a flaw - tattoos... Although he is already mature enough to remove them. But burning a tattoo is a thousand times more painful than getting a tattoo. I found out that they are now developing a composition that is injected into a tattoo, and it destroys the paint. I hope this discovery can be used soon...

People's Artist of Russia Elena Yakovleva told reporters about how her relationship with her son Denis changed after his wedding. The actress noted that she and her daughter-in-law Victoria are completely different. Despite this, the star is pleased with the choice of heir. Denis and his lover formalized their relationship this summer.

“Victoria is very good, smart, kind. And modest, quiet. Doing something related to computers. It seems to me that she is the opposite of me,” Yakovleva said.

The actress also said that her son continues to actively participate in the life of his parents. The young man monitors the health of his loved ones. “If it seems to him that we need to check something, he will drip on our brains endlessly, and then he will make an appointment with the doctor, bring a receipt and say: “Tomorrow you are going there,” Elena shared. The movie star is confident that her son could become an excellent doctor. However, Denis himself wants to work as a fitness trainer, the young man monitors his nutrition and pumps up his muscles. The young man plans to compete in bodybuilding competitions.

“This year he participated in Russian competitions for the first time, and next year he will go to international ones, because in Russia coaches have a bad attitude towards tattoos, and there they don’t pay attention to them,” the actress noted.

The People's Artist often comes to visit her son and daughter-in-law. Yakovleva admitted that Denis inherited her love for pets. “I went to see him with Vika and took a picture of their cat. They took him sick, lousy, tortured from the nursery, and now he has become handsome,” the actress shared.

Elena also denied the gossip of some media. For example, the actress said that she gave the apartment to her son for his coming of age, and not for his wedding. “I read much worse stories about myself: that I wasn’t at the wedding, I’m a bad mother, and only unloved children get tattoos. Denis and Victoria, unfortunately, read this too. The son was indignant: “Mom, where did they get this? Why do they write lies with impunity?” I answered: “We can only sue, but is such fuss necessary?” “It’s so unpleasant for me to read this! Everyone would be loved as much as you love me! - said Yakovleva.

The People's Artist noted that she is already retired, but has not yet had time to complete the necessary documents. “And I’m generally an optimist. I never dive into problems, but switch to something else,” Yakovleva clarified in an interview “ Antenna-Telesem". The actress compared herself to Scarlett O'Hara, whose catchphrase was from the film Gone with the Wind: “I'll think about it tomorrow.”
