What is the height and weight of Urgant
All sources on the network claim that Ivan Urgant’s height is either 192 centimeters or 195 (this version is the most popular). Let's find out who gives the most accurate information.
First, let's look at a photo where Ivan Urgant stands next to Armie Hammer, whose height is a maximum of 193 centimeters. If Urgant really were 195 tall, he would be a couple of centimeters taller, but we see the opposite picture. The difference between the celebrities is about 3 centimeters and is not in Ivan’s favor.
Steven Seagal's height is 192 centimeters. As in the previous case, Ivan Urgant should be 2-3 centimeters taller than him, but here his height did not even rise to 190.
Next, let's look at a couple more photos, where we compare Ivan Urgant with Dolph Lundgren (1 photo) and Ryan Reynolds (2 photos), who are 188 centimeters tall each. In both cases, the difference between them and Ivan remains the same - only a couple of centimeters.
Hugh Jackman's height reaches 184 centimeters. It is also clear here that Ivan Urgant again did not reach the mark that is attributed to him online.
Michael Fassbender (1 photo) and Nicolas Cage (2 photos) are approximately the same height, 178-179 centimeters. In the first case, Ivan Urgnat’s height will be at around 187-188. But here you can see that he is slightly stooped, which is why he could have lost a couple of centimeters. In the second case, his height is around 190. But nevertheless, both photos also prove to us that the version about Ivan Urgant’s height is 195 centimeters is false.
Personal life of Ivan Urgant
Looking at the joker and ringleader Ivan, it becomes clear that the humorous and cheerful guy has everything in order with the attention of the fair sex.

Photos from 2016 to VIVA magazine caused a great stir in the media when the actor gave a long interview about his family.
There were three great loves in the actor’s life. Two official marriages and a whirlwind romance, which, alas, did not end in anything. Between his first and second marriages, the actor had an affair with TV presenter and actress Tatyana Gevorkyan. The young people lived together for about 5 years, but then, without putting a stamp, they separated.
Theater
As a child, Ivan Urgant, whose height did not exceed one and a half meters, often ran to the theater and spied on the dressing rooms of great artists. The boy could stand behind the scenes for hours and enjoy their game. This is how Ivan’s desire to become a theater actor grew and became stronger.
After graduating from high school, he was immediately accepted into the 2nd year of the St. Petersburg Theater Academy. The glory of the Urgant family played a major role here. While studying, Ivan had the opportunity to participate in the play “Macbeth” with Alisa Freundlich. She embodied the image of Lady Macbeth, and Urgant - guard No. 12. Already in his adult years, Ivan recalled that time with special warmth. However, in the end, theater never became the young man’s passion. The main reason was low wages, which were not enough to live on.

Finding yourself
As a student, Urgant began to look for high earnings. To do this, Ivan got a job in three nightclubs at once. In the first, the young man sang Spanish songs, in the second, he worked as a waiter, and in the third, he hosted night shows. So Ivan Urgant, whose growth has almost reached its peak, worked for two whole years. Then he became a freelance artist, became interested in music, and his earnings became inconsistent. It was one of the most difficult periods in the young man's life. Relatives were afraid that Ivan would begin to seek salvation in wine. After all, this is exactly what his father did in his time.
Carier start
In the 1990s, after graduating from a theater university, Ivan began to look for himself. The aspiring artist had a lot of different talents. The young man was seriously interested in music and played the guitar, piano, drums and flute quite well. Later, he and Maxim Leonidov even released a joint disc called “Star”.

Young talent becomes a welcome guest in famous nightclubs of the capital.
Television and radio
But in the end everything worked out, and Urgant was invited to work for the Super Radio radio station. At the same time, he participated in the filming of the program “Petersburg Courier” (Channel 5), which tells about the difficult everyday life of travel companies, factories and confectionery factories. Soon the young man changed “Super Radio” to “Hit-FM”, and Channel 5 to MTV. The presenter's popularity grew, and he soon moved to Moscow.

Creative searches of Ivan Urgant
Urgant set out in search of a new craft. From the beginning, he was attracted by the signs of nightclubs, behind which, as he believed, lay the key to financial well-being. At first, Vanya served food to visitors, then he entertained the audience with songs in Spanish, without knowing the language, and then he began performing a nightly show program.
Urgant traded the stage for nightclubs - and did not regret it. Still, unsatisfied ambitions did not give Ivan peace. The parents were worried that their son would begin to seek solace in the bottle. But the personal crisis was neutralized by a happy accident - in 1999, Urgant was called to the radio. For six months, the young man broadcast on the St. Petersburg “Super Radio,” not the most popular frequency, where his jokes could hardly be appreciated by anyone except other presenters. This was followed by invitations to other, more famous radio stations “Russian Radio” and “Hit FM”.

Ivan Urgant: career as a TV presenter
While working at Super Radio, the lively presenter attracted the attention of the authorities at Channel Five. Ivan accepted the invitation to host the “Petersburg Courier” program and for some time told viewers about the everyday life of confectionery factories, travel agencies and woodworking factories.
In June 1999, Anton Komolov and Olga Shelest from MTV announced a casting call to find a co-host of the “Bright Morning” show. Ivan took part in the selection, and as a result, his smile sparkled on the air of the youth channel. The newly-minted presenter had to move to Moscow. Ivan Urgant on MTV in the program “Beautiful Morning” (2002) He recalled that at that time he received about five hundred dollars, which was barely enough to rent a small apartment, but Urgant’s television career quickly took off: he was unworn the showman's type was noticed in Ostankino, and the presenter signed a contract with the Rossiya TV channel.
Urgant put on a mustache back on MTV. For his first appearance on the federal television channel, Urgant thanked the People's Artist project, which he led together with Fekla Tolstaya. At this time, the 26-year-old presenter began to be recognized on the streets. The audience's sympathy brought Ivan victory in the “Discovery of the Year 2003” nomination.

At first, Ivan hoped that sooner or later he would be entrusted with a more serious program, but soon he enthusiastically devoted himself to his new profession and no longer looked with envy at the news presenters.
For the sake of his career, Ivan moved to Moscow. In 2005, Urgant left “Russia” for “Channel One,” which seduced the showman with the vacancy of the host of the new show “Big Premiere.” For almost a year, Ivan, in tandem with his father, entertained the audience with jokes, but due to Andrei Urgant’s busy schedule, the show was closed. Urgant Sr. could not attend the filming, but people fell in love with the father-son duo.
The hosts of the “Big Premiere” are Urgant and Urgant. However, the directors quickly drafted a script for Ivan for a new, original show, “Spring with Ivan Urgant.” At the same time, filming of the documentary project “One-Storey America” took place in collaboration with Vladimir Pozner.

Outraged at first, the audience very quickly fell in love with the new presenter, and Urgant settled in the most famous Ostankino kitchen for a long time.
Urgant fit perfectly into “Smak.” Ivan “messed up” only once, saying on air the phrase: “I chopped up the greens, like the red commissar of the inhabitants of a Ukrainian village.” The joke seemed extremely cruel to Ukrainians, so in the next episode Urgant made a public apology.
The unpleasant incident did not spoil Urgant's career. The First Channel broadcasting network could no longer be imagined without the soft voice of the presenter. The shows “Circus with the Stars”, “Wall to Wall”, and “The Magic World of Disney” followed one after another.
A still from the program “Spring with Ivan Urgant” On May 17, 2008, the channel network was replenished with a new show “ProjectorParisHilton”. The four presenters: Sergey Svetlakov, Garik Martirosyan, Alexander Tsekalo and Ivan Urgant, discussed topical stories and commented on the latest quotes from politicians, improvising to the fullest. Many celebrities visited the studio as guests: from Tina Kandelaki to Antonio Banderas, and once Urgant kissed Hugh Jackman live on air. Kiss of Ivan Urgant and Hugh Jackman, “Evening Urgant” On September 12, 2012, the program aired for the last time. Svetlakov and Martirosyan signed a contract with TNT, according to which they lost the right to work on other channels, and Konstantin Ernst did not intend to change the presenters.
ProjectorParisHilton and the four presentersIn 2008, another program with Urgant and Alexander Tsekalo appeared on Channel One - “Big Difference”. She presented a thematic set of parody sketches dedicated to a specific celebrity. The object of the parody at this time was sitting in the studio and looking at himself from the side. None of the guests went home offended, because the parodies were performed at a professional level.
Ivan Urgant and Alexander Tsekalo in the show “Big Difference” In 2012, Urgant became the host of his own show “Evening Urgant”. The program consisted of several sections devoted to a variety of topics, from reviews of new films to songs about the dollar exchange rate.
