Childhood and adolescence
The father of the famous actor was Vladimir Samoilov, who met his wife in Odessa in the summer of 1945. The theater school student attracted the attention of many classmates, but only Samoilov managed to win her sympathy. At the Odessa Drama Theater, Alexander’s parents began to make their first successes. Soon they moved to the city of Kemerovo. The reason for the change of residence was medical recommendations. Vladimir Yakovlevich regularly experienced poor health. Doctors advised changing the climate to improve health.
At the Kemerovo Theater, Nadezhda Samoilova played even while carrying a child. Spectators saw the pregnant actress in the production of The Brothers Karamazov. In the fall of 1952, a son was born. The first 6 years of his life were spent in a theater hostel in the city of Kemerovo. In 1958, the parents decided to move to Gorky. It was there that the theater was located, the leader among the provincial stages. Until the age of 10, the child did not cause trouble to his parents. However, he himself faced bullying from older students. They constantly took away their pocket money, and when they tried to escape, they beat them.
Alexander's father did not like that his son could not stand up for himself. After another clash with hooligans, the teenager began to fight back. At the age of 14, the boy gradually abandoned his studies. Instead of school subjects, new interests appeared - football, music of the Beatles and Rolling Stones, meetings with classmates. School teachers were unhappy with the hairstyle that Alexander wore. The teenager decided to become like his idols from the Beatles and let his hair grow. Soon my father found out about the regular absenteeism.
The parent decided to punish his son and tore his favorite trousers, stepping on one leg with his foot and pulling the other with all his might. Then he gave his son 1 ruble and sent him to the hairdresser to get his hair cut. The teenager learned his lesson too late. After some time, Alexander’s parents were called to the Moscow Mayakovsky Theater. Alexander received a characteristic that allowed him to study at a school only for difficult teenagers. He was not accepted into a regular educational institution.
In Moscow, Alexander settled in much faster than his parents. He began to make money by speculating on small valuable items that were popular among schoolchildren. He exchanged October stars for foreign chewing gum and cigarettes. Subsequently, the teenager sold scarce products to high school students. Before graduating from school, Alexander busied himself with his studies. He planned to become a pilot after the army. However, at the medical examination, doctors found developing myopia.
Young Samoilov did not want to go anywhere except flight school. Therefore, he continued to engage in petty speculation. They brought a certain income, which was enough for the young man to live. But there was a risk of expulsion from the capital for parasitism. To avoid punishment, Samoilov worked for 4 years wherever he was hired. He had the opportunity to be an orderly, an elevator operator, and a lighting operator. Together with a team of former prisoners, he was engaged in gold mining in Siberia.

After Samoilov’s show, he began to have doubts. According to him, his wife gave birth to his youngest son, Arkady, not from him. The artist forced the heir to undergo a humiliating DNA test.
His father’s words about genetic testing for 19-year-old Samoilov Jr. were the last straw. The artist’s son always felt like an unloved father. The young man told the editors of the program that his parent had terrorized him all his life.
“I believe there is some degree of exaggeration in his monologue. I don’t know what it was inspired by, maybe some of his moods, but I didn’t do much of what he just told you. Arkady is my favorite son,” said the honored artist. Despite his boundless love for the heir, Samoilov doubts his paternity.
Arkady Samoilov appeared in the studio. “Why are you lying, have you ever said anything good to me in your entire life?” – the young man attacked his parent.

Arkady threw reproach after reproach at his father's face. The young man's childhood memories shocked those present. “Do you know what he said about me when they asked who this guy was? - “I’m taking the neighbor’s boy to school.” That is, he did not agree that I was his son, he did not want to say it. I was little,” said the young man. “I thought it was funny then,” Alexander responded.
Irina Averina insists that the father of her son is Alexander Samoilov. However, a polygraph test showed that the wife of the honored artist does not know exactly who the father of her child is. Afterwards, Irina admitted that 20 years ago she had a beautiful romance. The woman described in detail her meetings with her lover, although she did not disclose his name. As it turned out, Samoilov Sr. knew who we were talking about. This person is a friend of their family. “An impressive Spaniard, Russian Spaniard Andres. He was born here,” Alexander said with a smile.
Andres Gonzalez also appeared in the studio. The man noted that he would not be surprised if Arkady turned out to be his son.
The host of the program, Dmitry Shepelev, announced the results of the DNA test. The showman had two envelopes in his hands, in one - the results of a study to determine the relationship between Alexander and Arkady, in the other - between Andres and Arkady. “The probability that Arkady Samoilov is the son of Alexander Samoilov is 99.9%. Paternity has been confirmed,” Shepelev said. The presenter did not open the second envelope.
