TV viewers were not immediately able to recognize the famous actor, who flaunts a toned body and an updated image on social networks. Mikhail Kazakov claims that he was able to get an athletic physique with the help of intensive walking and, of course, sports.
Briefly about the life of Mikhail Kazakov
The full name of the Russian actor is Mikhail Sergeevich Kazakov, who has now gone into business. Michael gained popularity as an actor during his participation in the TV series "Yeralash" where he acted as a chubby kid. And since 2007, he took part in "Daddy's Daughters" for his role, he gained considerable weight in order to seem like a sweet and friendly young man. While the shooting was going on, Kazakov did not limit himself to food, but at the end of the series, he decided to pull himself together and went in for sports. Now you don’t recognize him, there’s not a trace left of the overweight guy.
In 2018, Mikhail turned 30 and, looking at him, it’s hard to imagine that this athletic man was previously a well-fed guy. Now, with a height of 180 centimeters, he weighs only 77 kilograms.
Polezhaikin's slimness secret
According to the actor himself, all his life he went hand in hand with sports, ran, swam, was in constant motion. One case on the set surprised everyone when the actor lost 30 kilos, but the director told Mikhail to gain weight again so as not to deviate from the image.
When the shooting of the series ended, Mikhail again lost weight thanks to sports, he exchanged his car for walking. On the day, Kazakov walked about 30, and sometimes 40 km. The result of such intense loads was a weight reduction of up to 77 kg. The actor has changed incredibly and claims that only the following can help in the fight against weight:
- Regular walking for long distances;
- Refuse any means of transportation, even an elevator;
- Physical activity and sports;
- Do not resort to a rigid diet;
- And a lot of effort is the only way you can achieve the desired result.
Recently, Mikhail appeared in public in a completely updated image, noticeably losing weight and changing his hairstyle, he does not at all look like the well-known Polezhaykin.
He was able to achieve his success in the fight against excess weight only thanks to heavy loads and completely switching to walking. Michael argues that it is better to give preference to sports than to exhaust yourself with exhausted diets, after which you can quickly return to your previous weight.
The audience remembered Kazakov as a plump, good-natured boy. When the artist entered the studio, even Boris Grachevsky did not recognize him. Polezhaikin from "Daddy's Daughters" has incredibly lost weight. In January 2018, he turned 30 years old.

Program host Andrey Malakhov was also surprised to see Kazakov. The dumbfounded showman asked Mikhail to reveal the secret of his transformation. “The secret is very simple - walking. I devoted two months to walking, and here is the result. Many acquaintances simply don’t recognize me now,” Kazakov answered honestly.
Changes occurred not only in the appearance of the artist - he completely revised his outlook on life. At some point, Mikhail realized that he did not want to continue his acting career. “Acting is still not mine. I graduated from a business school, the Faculty of Economics. Entrepreneurship has always been closer to me, although I am very grateful to Boris Yuryevich for incredible memories,” the artist shared.
Kazakov returned to his native Tver and created his own business. In 2011, the actor got married, and a year later he became a dad. Now he is raising his own son Miroslav and his wife's daughter, whom she gave birth to from another man before her marriage to Mikhail.
However, in the life of Kazakov, not everything is as smooth as it might seem. He served a year in prison for murder. In January 2005, Mikhail stabbed to death a 20-year-old boy in Tver. The actor himself at that time was 16 years old. He stood up for a friend, but at some point he did not calculate his strength. Mikhail had to spend a year in prison until his case was reclassified to a less serious article, allowing him to be released.
The young actor has always had an expressive appearance. At the same time, he did not worry about being overweight, because it was the pleasant plumpness that made his characters so cute and charming. But when Mikhail appeared in the studio, even Grachevsky could not recognize him. Kazakov lost a couple of tens of kilograms and began to look simply amazing.
Frame from the program
A 30-year-old guy shared the secret of such an amazing transformation. It turned out that he was helped by classes in the gym and many hours of walking. The artist completely abandoned the car, and he had to walk distances of 30-40 kilometers. The test was not easy, but the result was definitely worth it.

Mikhail got married, and soon his beloved wife Elena gave him a son, Miroslav. Although Kazakov decided to give up acting, the memories of working on Yeralash remain the most incredible and precious for him.

Igor Petrenko
In the biography of a handsome actor, winner of the State Prize and a father of many children, there is a terrible episode from his early youth, which fell on the “dashing 90s”. 15-year-old Igor, who hated school, but was fond of sports and wrestling, made friends with an older guy, a small businessman. Once they decided to pull off a speculative deal, for which they borrowed 100 thousand rubles from a friend. But in the end it was just a waste of money. There was nothing to repay.
The merchant did not think of any other way out but to kill the creditor. Having guessed the moment, he shot him with a sawn-off shotgun in the apartment. The underage Petrenko, although he did not kill himself, helped in the development of the plan and was present at the massacre, providing "safety net". As an accomplice, he spent about a year in Matrosskaya Tishina, then he was released before the trial.
The process took place only 5 years later, in 1997, when the future artist was in the first year of Sliver. Taking into account all the circumstances (age at the time of the crime, degree of participation, positive characteristics of neighbors, teachers and colleagues), Petrenko was sentenced conditionally (8 years with a probationary period of 3 years).
Leonid Yakubovich
On August 19, 2001, a famous actor and showman knocked down a pedestrian to death in the Moscow region, but was found not guilty. As the investigation established, his victim, a 30-year-old merchant from Kyrgyzstan, was drunk and thoughtlessly crossed the road under the very nose of an approaching car. Although the Hyundai Accent was moving at a speed of only 50 km / h, and Yakubovich slammed on the brakes, a collision was inevitable. The downed man died a few days later in the hospital. In October of the same year, the case was closed for lack of corpus delicti.
Mikhail Kazakov
On the eve of his 17th birthday in 2005, the Yeralash actor and future Ilya Polezhaikin from Daddy's Daughters got involved in teenage street fights and stabbed his opponent. Misha, whom everyone knew exclusively as a “good-natured and open” person, like a professional killer, struck right in the heart and carotid artery. During interrogations, he said that he went to the showdown at the request of a school friend who had a fight with her boyfriend and wanted to reason with him, and took out a knife when he suddenly attacked the girl in a rage.
During the investigation, the murder case was reclassified as excess of self-defense, and then the relatives of the murdered man unexpectedly stood up for Kazakov, declaring that his family fully compensated them for moral and material damage. With this in mind, as well as Mikhail's "sincere repentance" for what had happened, the court decided to dismiss the case.
Alexander Kilin
A monstrous murder with rape crossed out the life and career of an aspiring actor who managed to play episodic roles in the TV series Real Boys and the film The Geographer Drank His Globe Away. In August 2014, the body of a 19-year-old student was found on a playground in Perm, hit on the head with a stone and strangled. Having established her identity, the investigators found out that the night before she was in a beer bar, where she met a group of guys. Late at night she was seen off by one of them, 22-year-old student of the Perm Institute of Culture Sasha Kilin. According to investigators, the guy on the way persuaded her to be close, and at some point he simply knocked her to the ground, raped her and killed her.
Before the start of the trial in May 2015, it was reported that Alexander partially admitted his guilt, but later he changed his testimony and completely denied his involvement in the crime. Nevertheless, the jury found Kilin guilty on all counts, and the court sentenced the actor to 18 years in a penal colony and a year of confinement after. In an attempt to achieve mitigation, the lawyers reached the Supreme Court, but it upheld the verdict.
Valentina Malyavina
The Honored Artist of Russia, who starred in Tarkovsky's Ivan's Childhood at the age of 20 and later played the main role in the musical fairy tale The Deer King, spent five years in prison on charges of killing her own husband. 24-year-old actor Stas Zhdanko died in April 1978 from a blow to the chest with a kitchen knife, it happened in Valentina's apartment on the Arbat.
That evening, the couple, together with the famous actor Viktor Proskurin, who was visiting them, washed the premiere of his performance, and when he left, they quarreled. It is still not clear exactly how Stas received a mortal wound, but Malyavina, who is now 74 years old, still does not admit her guilt and insists on the version of suicide by negligence. At first, the investigators also decided so and closed the case.
However, after the death of Brezhnev in 1982, the new General Secretary Andropov began to shake the police and prosecutor's offices, revealing abuses and violations. Among the cases that were ordered to be raised and reviewed was the Malyavina case. The 42-year-old actress was brought to trial, according to eyewitnesses, they were judged very biased. She was found guilty of premeditated murder and sentenced to 9 years in prison.
So the actress ended up in Butyrka, then there were the Krasnopresnenskaya prison, the Mozhaisk zone, the Voronezh prison and a settlement in the Rostov region. Valentina Malyavina was released under Gorbachev's amnesty in 1987 and later released an amazing book-confession Hear Me, Pure in Heart, in which she depicted her prison life, court ordeals and episodes from her past "free" life, including that fateful evening. She dedicated these memoirs to Stas Zhdanko.
Georgy Yumatov
On March 6, 1994, Georgy Yumatov shot a janitor from a hunting rifle, who helped the actor bury his beloved dog Frosya, who died the day before.
Yumatov, according to article 103 of the Criminal Code, was threatened with imprisonment for a term of 3 to 10 years. But after the lawyer was able to prove that the actions of his client were not a deliberate murder, but went beyond the scope of necessary defense, two months after his arrest, Georgy Alexandrovich was released from Matrosskaya Tishina on bail. Then, as a front-line soldier on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Victory, he fell under an amnesty, and at the end of 1995 the case was dismissed.
