In Berdsk, the Priluchnys lived in the private sector. From childhood impressions, Pasha remembered how his parents carried water into the house and heated the stove with wood and coal to keep it warm. His dad, Valery Del, was an athlete and was a professional boxer. In life he had many hobbies and worked at different jobs. He repaired shoes very well, even opened his own workshop in Berdsk. But, unfortunately, he died early; Pasha was eleven years old at the time.

Mom, Priluchnaya Lyubov Yuryevna, worked as a choreographer. Pavel was the youngest third child in the family; he has older brothers Sergei and sister Lena.

Pasha also had an excellent voice and hearing, he was a soloist in the choir, his mother hoped that her son would become a singer.
Pavel Priluchny in childhood and youth
Parents, trying to protect Pavel from the influence of the street, sent him to various sections so that their son would be fully occupied. His life included dancing, vocals, boys' choir school, choreography and boxing. But then Pasha went to all classes under pressure, and only now he realized how useful the childhood skills he had acquired were.

However, he soon withdrew the documents due to financial difficulties. After the death of her father, it was very difficult for my mother to raise three children. Therefore, in 2001, Pasha became a student at the Novosibirsk State Theater School, where education was free.
Career of Pavel Priluchny: cinema and theater
The biggest contribution to the fact that Priluchny chose the acting profession was made by his first teacher Anatoly Vladimirovich Akhreev. It was he who convinced the guy that he needed to be creative, gave him the strength to believe in himself and taught him to truly love his job.

2006-2010: GITIS and first film roles
Further prospects in the theatrical life of Novosibirsk seemed unattractive to Priluchny, and in 2006, without saying a word to anyone, he left for Moscow. In the capital, Pasha immediately found himself in an unpleasant situation. Trying to rent a house during the entrance exams, he encountered scammer realtors and was cheated out of 15 thousand rubles. At first I spent the night at the station, then at the audition I met a girl who temporarily sheltered Pavel in her apartment.

In the same year, director Pavel Sanaev approved Priluchny as the main character in the action film “At the Game.” The role of an avid gamer was a success, and the following year the sequel “On the Game 2.

The actor admits that he is unpretentious in nutrition; his favorite dish is dumplings with any sauce, especially with sour cream.

In 2012, Pavel had surgery to change the shape of his ears and got rid of protruding ears, and the actor does not hide this. Priluchny believed that his career suffered because of his ears. He was offered roles, but only minor ones and mostly, as he himself characterized them, “hopeless and abnormal psychos.” Now his appearance is more consistent with the image of a serious man.

Photos of Pavel Priluchny before and after plastic surgery are floating around the Internet. The guy does not deny their authenticity, but denies the extent to which he allegedly performed plastic surgery.
The guy went under a plastic surgeon’s knife to remove his childhood protruding ears, which was the reason for ridicule at his age. The same drawback prevented Pavel from getting some roles, because there are definitely no lop-eared hero-lovers.

This surgical procedure is called otoplasty and is rather cosmetic in nature.
