Dmitry Belotserkovsky: My children are my “perpetuum mobile”


Childhood of Dmitry Belotserkovsky. Family

Dmitry Sergeevich Belotserkovsky was born in one of the maternity hospitals in the city of Nevinnomyssk in 1988. As Belotserkovsky’s mother said, while still a baby, little Dima, having heard the song “Moscow Evenings,” reproduced the melody with precision. It was then that my mother thought that a future stage star was growing up in the family. Mom wanted her son to become an actor, so she recommended that he read more to develop his vocabulary, but the young man was an inveterate bully and hooligan, and instead of books he spent time on the football field. He studied poorly, but performed successfully in KVN.

At the request of his mother, Dmitry attended a music school, where he studied piano. The actor himself recalled the following: “I didn’t want to study at all. Imagine, the guys are playing football, and you have to learn sketches.”

In 1995, the guy first appeared in public at the cultural center of his hometown as part of the “Good Well Done” competition, where he won, receiving a Dendy game console as a prize.

Childhood and youth

The future actor was born on August 7, 1988 in Nevinnomyssk. Dmitry remembers his childhood period very well.

“The eighties were a carefree time: football, the yard, the neighbors’ doors were never locked, you could come in and ask for sugar or something,” he recalls.

Dmitry’s mother is a teacher, his father is an entrepreneur. The boy grew up incredibly active; it was simply impossible to force him to sit over books. The mother tried to get her son interested in creativity - she sent him to a music school to learn to play the piano, fortunately the boy had good hearing. In 1995, he made his first performance at the “Good Well done” vocal competition at a local cultural center and received a prize.

More than anything else, Dima loved to play football in the yard, devoting every free minute to it. Later, playing school KVN was added to the teenager’s hobbies. This is where Belotserkovsky’s artistic abilities manifested themselves: the ability to sing, improvise, and parody.

Meanwhile, the certificate was full of Cs, but this did not bother the young graduate, who had already finally chosen between football and the stage. After the 9th grade, the young man entered the Stavropol cultural and educational school, which he graduated in a year. And then, on the advice of a friend, I decided to go to Moscow and study acting.

Dmitry auditioned for all universities at once: GITIS, the Moscow Art Theater School, Pike, Shchepka, and VGIK. The guy received a positive response in all institutions, but at the Moscow Art Theater School, where Konstantin Raikin took the course, Dmitry was not allowed to attend the next audition by the teacher’s wife, Elena Butenko, who took the exams. Dmitry was not upset and decided that he would study at the Shchepkinsky School, in the workshop of the Maly Theater directors Rimma Solntseva and Vladimir Beilis.

Biography and personal life

The birthplace of actor Dmitry Belotserkovsky is the city of Nevinnomysk, located in the Stavropol Territory. As a child, he was a notorious tomboy, studied poorly and generally thought about only two things - playing football and participating in the next school concert. As Dmitry himself says, these two passions still overwhelm him, but as an adult he manages to combine them. Another interesting page from Dmitry’s childhood is his studies at a music school - despite his restlessness, the boy graduated from it in piano class.

Belotserkovsky made such a sacrifice for the sake of his mother, because she dreamed that her son would have a musical education and even wanted her son to become a singer!

Even in early childhood, my mother noticed Dmitry’s love for the stage and performances . Already in kindergarten, he performed on the stage of the chemists' cultural center and took first places in various creative competitions.

Dmitry Belotserkovsky received a certificate, but it did not look exemplary - it was full of C grades in a variety of subjects. But the young man did not despair. While still at school, he became interested in KVN games, felt the taste of the real stage and decided to become an actor, and for this profession, as Dmitry believed, you don’t need a lot of knowledge!
