Childhood and youth

Konstantin Khabensky was born in Leningrad on January 11, 1972. Father Yuri Aronovich was an engineer, mother Tatyana Gennadievna worked as a mathematics teacher. In addition to Konstantin, the eldest daughter Natalya was growing up in the family. Subsequently, she made a career as a singer, at one time she was a soloist of the Jewish Musical Ensemble.

In the early 80s, the Khabenskys lived in Nizhnevartovsk. As a child, the guy was fond of football and went to the boxing section. In his dreams, the boy saw himself as a fireman, sailor or astronaut. He didn’t even think about the acting profession. During his school years, Kostya became interested in music. With his informal friends, he often performed in underground passages, performing songs by Yuri Shevchuk and Konstantin Kinchev.

After the 8th grade, at the insistence of his parents, Konstantin entered the Aviation College of Instrument Engineering and Automation, but only lasted 3 years of study.

Konstantin Khabensky in his youth with his mother
He was drawn to the creative environment. The place where the guy found an outlet for himself was the recently organized experimental theater “Saturday”. On his stage, Khabensky first felt an interest in the acting profession. In order to provide for himself during this difficult time, the guy got a job as a stage installer, then began working as a janitor.

The next step in Konstantin’s biography was his successful admission to the theater institute. The actor's student years turned out to be eventful and fruitful. At the same time, best friends Mikhail Porechenkov, Andrey Zibrov and Mikhail Trukhin appeared on the same course.

Young people were famous for their pranks and jokes. Often the guys staged small performances on the streets of the city, walked on their hands along the Anichkov Bridge or jumped into the cold Moika on a bet. The friendship that arose between the actors in their youth has survived to this day.

The secret of success of Konstantin Khabensky

Capricorn is an Earth sign and he is indeed a rather down-to-earth person, despite his profession, in which people sometimes have to take on fantastic roles. Konstantin, like all Capricorns, is ambitious, hardy and persistent. He is a strong leader. It's not always easy for his family members and significant other.

The Capricorn man is a demanding, demanding person, sometimes changeable in mood. But, despite this, there will be two devoted women in his life who will accept all his pros and cons. He lived many years married to Anastasia, they have a common son, Ivan.

Since 2013, Khabensky has been living with actress Olga Litvinova, this is his second marriage. Olga's horoscope is Leo. In their vibrant union, there is a constant conflict of interests. Khabensky earns money through hard work, and therefore is thrifty, at times even stingy, but Olga, like Leo, gets everything quite easily, which is why she is characterized by wastefulness.

Konstantin is careful in making decisions, practical in everyday life, and reasonable in relationships. Olga is cheerful, sometimes frivolous, she is used to living on a grand scale and not thinking about the future. It is not surprising that it can be quite difficult for partners to agree. It is difficult to say how great the chances of a long-term relationship are. But at the moment, the couple has gone through the so-called “three-year crisis” and so far there are no visible reasons to doubt the prospects of their union.

Capricorn achieves everything through his work and will. Konstantin confidently walked towards his goal and despite numerous falls, he did not give up, which is why he is now one of the most sought-after actors in Russian cinema.

Thanks to the exaltation of Mars in Khabensky’s horoscope, he is very hardworking and gives himself completely to all his roles, hence this result. Jupiter is in its fall in the sign of Capricorn, which suggests that outside opinions are important to him. In a circle of close people, the actor can consult and allows people to speak about his work, but does not tolerate outright criticism. For Khabensky, the opinion of household members is not the most authoritative, rather philistine. But only in relation to his work. In family and personal matters, the Day Watch fighter completely trusts them.

In the sign of Capricorn, the Moon is in exile, so Constantine often lacks sensitivity in family matters and in the rest of his life. For all his strong sympathy, the star of the film “The Geographer Drank the Globe Away” always behaves with restraint and coldness towards people. This is also influenced by the down-to-earth nature of his character.

Khabensky is quite closed from the public, which is typical of many Capricorns, and the details of his personal life are always carefully hidden from the public. At first, he and Litvinova were simply partners in the plays “Duck Hunt” and “Hamlet”, then the friendship grew into an office romance, and now two years later both were ripe to legitimize the relationship. Meanwhile, Khabensky’s wedding came as a surprise even to some of his friends, who were sure that the actor would never marry again for fear of losing a loved one again.

Khabensky was born in the year of the Water Rat, which makes him sometimes aggressive and hot-tempered, although he is quite easy-going. In addition, Konstantin is very categorical. In general, people born in the year of the Water Rat can almost always come out unscathed and emerge victorious from the most difficult situations. They are considered the most gifted and strange. Both of these are completely consistent with Constantine. Such people always achieve their goal and never go unnoticed. A fact is a fact, because Khabensky is one of the greatest actors of modern cinema.

Since the year of the Porpoise opened on February 15, and Konstantin was born on January 11, we can say that he is at the junction of these two signs. In this regard, Khabensky is a very versatile and changeable person. That is why he first entered the technical school of aviation instrumentation and automation, and after the third year he left there and changed many professions, including working as a janitor and a street musician.

Khabensky’s psychological portrait is quite pessimistic: little came easy to him. However, no one knows how to rejoice in their victories, like all Capricorns. They love to devote themselves to work, but rarely do it selflessly. They usually expect gratitude. For Konstantin this is the love of the viewer. This is precisely his secret of success. The feeling of gratitude from the audience gives him strength for further creative victories.

Khabensky came to the audition tired after filming, so, not having the strength to talk to the director, he stood and simply smiled. The director, looking at the actor, unexpectedly accepted Konstantin for the main role without testing. This film made the artist famous.

Konstantin Khabensky - original post

Konstantin Khabensky. I first saw him in the film “Women’s Property” - I was simply amazed, he was so touching there and his duet with Safonova was very successful.

He played perfectly, I immediately remembered this actor. I didn’t watch Cops, I confess))), but the next film was “On the Move” by Philip Jankowski, an excellent film, by the way, in the now fashionable style - anti-glamor. Khabensky was absolutely out of place there with his decadent appearance))) To my shame, I didn’t watch - “Khrustalev, the car”, I’ll watch it today, I don’t even know what Konstantin’s role is there))). A talented actor, of unusual appearance, you wouldn’t call him cute, and he chooses good roles. And, of course, Watches - in my humble opinion - are the most successful films in wide release in Russia (I’m not talking about the box office). Watches nevertheless became a breakthrough for domestic cinema in terms of winning box office revenue from its Hollywood competitors, under the slogan “we too so we can”))) Kostya is good there and just to the point. The series “The White Guard”, although it was subjected to much criticism, made an impression on me, I watched it without interruption, lying in the hospital, at night))) perhaps this is how you need to watch this film in order to feel the atmosphere.

So, biography:

Born in Leningrad in 1971 (42 years old), father is an engineer, mother is a mathematics teacher.

After graduating from school, Konstantin entered the College of Aviation Instrumentation and Automation, where he studied for only three years and realized that this did not suit him.) Further, Konstantin worked as an assembler, while simultaneously participating as an extra in the performances of the theater-studio "Subbota", where he got absolutely by chance at the invitation of friends. In 1990, Khabensky entered the Leningrad State Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography (LGITMiK) in the workshop of V.M. Filshtinsky, who was considered the best among the masters of the acting school in the country. Khabensky studied with Mikhail Trukhin, Mikhail Porechenkov and Andrei Zibrov. During their studies, the guys became very good friends and tried to stay together all the time. In 2002, Konstantin Khabensky made his debut on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater.

The actor got his first roles completely by accident. Thanks to these works, Khabensky was noticed, and soon he was invited to play a small role in Nikolai Lebedev’s thriller “The Fan,” and after that he starred in one of the main roles in Vladimir Fokin’s drama “House for the Rich.” For his role in the film “House for the Rich” at the Gatchina Film Festival “Literature and Cinema”, Konstantin Khabensky was awarded the award in the category “Best Actor”.

Next - work with Philip Yankovsky in the film "In Motion", and so on - all the films, I think it makes no sense to list)))

Personal life :

On January 12, 2000, Konstantin Khabensky married a journalist who worked at one of the radio stations in St. Petersburg, Anastasia Artyomovna Khabenskaya. On September 25, 2007, Anastasia gave birth to Konstantin’s son, Ivan Khabensky. Soon after the birth of her son, the actor’s 34-year-old wife was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Doctors believed that Nastya could live another 10 years, but on December 1, 2008, after a year of treatment, Anastasia died. She was buried on December 15, 2008 at the Troekurovskoye cemetery in Moscow. The loss of his wife was a real blow for the actor.

Charity

Another area of Konstantin’s activity is charity. The Khabensky Foundation helps provide treatment to children with cancer and brain diseases. The organization was created in 2008. After the untimely death of his wife, Konstantin considered it his duty to help children with similar problems.

The organization’s employees and Konstantin Yuryevich himself personally ensure that medical care is provided to their wards on time and in full. According to the foundation, brain tumors in children are the second most common after childhood leukemia. This is a complex disease that requires long-term treatment. The report on financial receipts appears on the official website of the charitable organization.

In 2021, the actor appeared on Direct Line with Vladimir Putin, where he asked the president a question about the possibility of close relatives visiting critically ill patients in intensive care.

Personal life

Khabensky prefers not to talk about his personal life, but there are many guesses and rumors about the actor’s novels on the Internet. So, according to the recollections of the artist of the Saturday theater Anastasia Rezunkova, it was she who at one time became the first love of the future screen star. The young people met on the stage when Kostya was barely 16 years old, and Nastya was a year younger.

The relationship lasted 3 years. Subsequently, Khabensky had a fleeting affair with a student at the theater institute, Tatyana Polonskaya, but the actress herself does not attach much importance to this relationship.

It is known that in 1999 the actor met journalist Anastasia Smirnova. The romance developed slowly, and in 2000 they legalized their relationship. The young people did not celebrate their wedding; they came to the registry office in casual clothes, and the gala dinner did not go well - both were busy at work.

Fans of the artist organized a fan page on Instagram, where they post photos and news about the idol. The star of “Deadly Force,” who took 1st place in the ranking of the best actors and directors of Russia according to the Romir holding in 2021, even now does not welcome social networks.

Konstantin Khabensky now

With his colleague in the film “Doctor Lisa” Chulpan Khamatova, Konstantin lent his voice to the documentary masterpiece “Baikal. The Amazing Adventures of Yuma,” which premiered on June 10, 2021.

At the center of the plot was a baby seal, which was given the nickname Yuma. Filming of the story continued for five years, and the creators of the project had one goal - to film amazing animals in their natural habitat. However, the result exceeded all expectations. The work of director Anastasia Popova became not just a documentary film, but a real blockbuster about nature, in which Baikal played the main role. And Khabensky commented on the fascinating atmosphere of the deepest reservoir.

Konstantin Khabensky in the project “#Talking Objects”
And objects spoke in Konstantin’s voice - the most ordinary ones, those that everyone has in their home. This unusual project was presented in honor of Children's Day as part of the “#Talking Objects” campaign. The purpose of the action was to focus public attention on domestic violence that occurs against minors.

In addition to the image of a law enforcement officer already familiar to the artist in the project “An Hour Before Dawn,” he was involved in the production of Victor Kramer, where he played, perhaps, the most fantasy role in his professional biography - Baron Munchausen. And in 2021, Konstantin became the face of the IVI online cinema brand and presented an advertising campaign, the essence of which boiled down to personal recommendations in choosing a movie.
