Nikita Kologrivoy is 30 years old: why is the actor loved and hated?

Today, October 16, Nikita Kologrivy celebrates his birthday – he turned 30. The actor took part in more than 80 projects. Among them: “Two Hills”, “Life in Call”, “On Pike’s Order”, “Sidekick”, “Max and Kaz” and others.

Nikita became known to a wide audience in 2023. This was influenced not only by participation in big films, but also by scandals, for which he had many haters. In one of the interviews, Nikita spoke not at all pleasantly about Soviet artists. For example, he described Alexander Abdulov’s roles as “boring”. At the same time, Kologrivy did not regret what he said, admitting that he was not afraid to tell the truth.

Then the name of the celebrity began to be discussed in connection with a fight that broke out in a bar in Novosibirsk. The actor, who was very drunk, started flirting with the waiter by kneeling on his lap. At one point Nikita allegedly offered privacy, but the girl refused. The artist then bit her on the buttocks, causing chaos in the institution. For the incident, Kologrivy was sentenced to seven days in a special detention center. The actor publicly apologized to the victim and subscribers on social networks for his behavior.

Despite the scandalous fame of a celebrity, he is loved for his charisma and skill in disguise. That is why many appreciated Nikita’s performance in the play “Mayakovsky”. He played the role of Vladimir Mayakovsky in “I Myself”. Judging by the reviews on the Internet, the artist managed to recreate the image of the poet.

By the way, in March there were rumors that Nikita would play politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky in a new film. However, the information has not been officially confirmed yet. At the same time, fans are confident that the star can take on this role due to the external similarity.

Colleagues also consider Nikita a talented actor. So, Sergei Bezrukov, who starred with Nikita in the movie “Moment of Truth”, praised him for his professionalism. According to the “Brigade” star, Kologrivy can transform into any character.

Dmitry Dyuzhev also did not see anything wrong in Nikita’s actions. “It seems to young people that there is no history ahead of them, that they are up to their knees in the sea, especially when they are a discovery, and that is how journalists and fans of creativity treat them. But only when maturity comes, you realize that all this does not belong to you,” said the leading actor of “Blind Man’s Bluff”.

The actor’s personal life did not go unnoticed. In November 2023, it became known that Nikita separated from his wife Alexandrina Pitirimova. Nikita later explained that he could not spare enough time for his family due to his busy schedule. Although she was busy after the divorce, she continued to take part in the upbringing of her daughter Yesenia.

Meanwhile, in April 2024, it was stated that Kologrivy was in a relationship with Agata Muceniece. But it turned out that these were just rumors, and the actor sparked interest and eventually admitted that there was nothing between them.

Let us remind you that earlier the daughter of the founder of “Combination” appreciated the performance of Nikita Kologrivoy, who played her father in the series of the same name.
