Childhood and family of Sergei Belogolovtsev
Sergei Belogolovtsev was born on April 2, 1964 in the city of Vladivostok, but he practically did not live here and already in early childhood he moved with his family to the city of Obninsk, where, in fact, he spent his childhood. However, the family of the future showman did not end there either. His family often changed service apartments, and therefore Sergei constantly had to move from one school to another.While studying at school, our today's hero was fond of football and basketball. His favorite football team was Spartak Moscow, and he himself played for the basketball team of the Scientific Research Institute of Physics and Chemistry. It was here, by the way, that Sergei Belogolovtsev was going to enter after school. However, such an undertaking was not appreciated by his father, who worked here as a teacher of physics. As a result, Sergey had to choose another university for himself. So the future showman ended up at the Moscow Mining Institute.
While studying at this university, Sergei first began to get involved in theatrical art. He took an active part in the activities of the local amateur circle, played in performances, wrote lyrics, and at one fine moment even managed to become the head of the local Fluger ensemble.
Sergey Belogolovtsev's career in KVN
After graduating from the institute, Belogolovtsev was assigned to the distant and inhospitable Khabarovsk Territory. However, Sergei was not even going to lose heart in the local wilderness. Literally a few months after his appearance in these parts, Belogolovtsev assembled his own propaganda team and even made several attempts to organize his own rock band. But the last of these ideas remained unrealized. The reason for this was his untimely departure to Moscow, which was caused by family circumstances.In the capital of Russia, Sergei Belogolovtsev again took up the implementation of a variety of creative plans. This time, the main dream of the actor was his own KVN team. At first, this project "slid" due to lack of funding. However, very soon Sergei's ideas began to take on real shape. So, the KVN team "Magma" was formed.

From the first days of its existence, the newly formed team has become the main discovery of the Major League season. The team performed brightly, and therefore Sergey Belogolovtsev very soon became a real star. The audience loved him, his jokes were always perceived with a bang. However, in the KVN-ovsky fate of our today's hero, there was still one disappointment - Sergey did not become the champion of the Major League.
Sergey Belogolovtsev - TV presenter
Despite this circumstance, subsequently his creative destiny was very, very successful. In 1993, our today's hero received an offer to work on the creation of the program "The Magnificent Seven". At first, Sergei Belogolovtsev worked on the creation of new releases as a screenwriter, but very soon he began to personally appear in the frame. He was the real soul of the team, combining the qualities of a presenter, screenwriter, actor and director at the same time.As a result, thanks to the efforts of the actor, the transfer was a great success. The audience really liked the charismatic presenter, and therefore very soon Sergey was invited to other projects. So, in the late nineties, such projects as OSB-Studio, Country Stories, as well as the comedy series 33 Square Meters appeared on Russian television. The last of these projects has become especially popular.
Sergei Belogolovtsev: “It will be harder to joke today”
Sergei Belogolovtsev became a real celebrity, and therefore subsequently he often participated in various television programs as a host or guest star. Over the years, he had a hand in creating such programs as “Save, Repair!” (STS), "Scheme of Laughter" (REN-TV), "Mysteries of Show Business" (TNT), "Circus with Stars" (Channel One Russia), "Soldiers. And officers” (Ren TV), as well as some others. Most of his broadcasts were entertaining in nature, but exceptions to the general rule also occasionally occurred. A vivid example of this is the Headbutt (Russia-2) program, which is entirely dedicated to football.
Sergei Belogolovtsev in the cinema
In addition, in parallel with the career of a TV presenter, Sergei Belogolovtsev successfully built a career as an actor. He often played on the stage of the theater, and also acted in films a lot. Over the years, twelve different films with his participation were released. Among them, the comedies “The Color of the Sky”, “All So Sudden” (with Anna Semenovich in the title role), as well as the new film “Duhless”, which also starred Danila Kozlovsky, Maria Andreeva, Artur Smolyaninov, Mikhail Efremov and others, stand out. In addition, Sergei Belogolovtsev also often played small episodic roles in various Russian sitcoms. As a guest star, he appeared in the series "My Fair Nanny", "Afromoskvich", "Two Antons", "Daddy's Daughters", as well as in some other television projects. These roles, coupled with work as a TV presenter, brought great success to our today's hero. 
Sergei Belogolovtsev today
Currently, Sergei Belogolovtsev manages to organically combine cinema, television and theater. At the moment he is hard at work on his new projects. One of these is the surreal comedy film "Ja's Territory", which is due out at the end of 2013.Personal life Sergei Belogolovtsev
Even in his student years, our today's hero was married to a native Muscovite Natalya Barannik, who worked as a commissar of the Military Patriotic Club.The couple currently have three sons. The two oldest of them - Nikita and Alexander - work on television. TV presenter Nikita Belogolovtsev even has a TEFI award to his credit. In addition to three sons, our today's hero also has a granddaughter, Eva Nikitichna. Thus, Sergey has been a grandfather for several years.
Children of Sergei Belogolovtsev brought not only many happy minutes to the artist and his wife, but also became a real test for both of them. When their eldest son Nikita was not even a year old, Sergei Belogolovtsev's wife Natalya Barannik became pregnant again. Then their family lived "from paycheck to paycheck", there was always not enough money, but they still decided that Natalya should give birth. Sergei's wife endured the second pregnancy very hard, and she gave birth prematurely - two younger children of Sergei Belogolovtsev were born at seven months old.

But the problem was not only this, the fact is that one of the children was born very weak - the doctors diagnosed him with four heart defects at once. The boys were named Sasha and Eugene. When little Zhenya was nine months old and it became possible to operate on him, his parents hoped to the last for a good outcome of the operation, which was successful, but the difficulties began later.
The child's heart worked very weakly, and Zhenya went into a coma, in which he spent two whole months in intensive care. During this period, he experienced clinical death, due to which the baby developed cerebral palsy. The eldest of the twins, Sasha, developed normally, while the younger Zhenya lagged far behind - he learned to speak only by the age of six. The child was on the verge of death until the age of eight, and all this time the parents did not leave him around the clock, replacing each other.
At this time, Sergei Belogolovtsev worked as an engineer with a small salary, and Natalya sat with the children. The family could barely make ends meet, and then the head of the family decided to radically change his life, deciding to become an artist. This decision completely turned their lives upside down and gave them hope for the best. True, at some point, Natalya, tired of constant loneliness and caring for a sick child, almost filed for divorce, but the family overcame this crisis.

After several years of terrible torment, they had hope and joy - the treatment of their sick son began to bring results. Today, the children of Sergei Belogolovtsev, and especially Evgeny, are a great pride for their parents. He successfully graduated from a school for gifted children and entered the Institute of Theater Arts, Advertising and Show Business. The eldest son Nikita graduated from the Faculty of International Journalism of MGIMO, works as a presenter on the Russia-2 and TVC TV channels, is a sports producer and political observer on the Dozhd TV channel. Alexander Belogolovtsev - MGIMO student, host of the Karusel TV channel, executive producer of the MB-Group TV company.
Belogolovtsev Nikita Sergeevich, the son of a famous father, did not hesitate before the star name of his parent, but he himself achieved the fact that today he is known and invited to the most interesting projects. Who is this? Let's get to know the son of a famous personality closer.
TV presenter career
Nikita Belogolovtsev is an experienced host, despite his young age. He began his career in television at the age of 20. Then Nikita aired the program "Conversation without rules" on the O2TV channel.
Just a year later, a new TV project “Only at Night” was released with the participation of a rising star on the air.
Belogolovtsev Nikita Sergeevich always called sports topics his favorite field of journalism. At the beginning of his career, he treated it exclusively as a hobby and sincerely tried not to mix it with work. However, fate does not always follow our plans, and Nikita Belogolovtsev, whose biography had previously been associated only with various talk shows, was adorned with participation in the Headbutt program aired on the Russia-2 channel.
And a year after leaving the program, together with his star father, Nikita Sergeevich Belogolovtsev goes on the air of the program “White vs. White”, which also had a sporting character. In the same year, the young man became the co-host of the Sports section on the Rain. Optimistic Channel.
Of course, it was not without criticism. Where without it in the media business? Belogolovtsev Nikita Sergeevich was accused of preparing custom-made programs, conducting them with a clear distortion of facts. The greatest flurry of negativity fell on the program dedicated to the assassination of the President of the United States of America Kennedy, aired on the Dozhd TV channel. Surprisingly, it was the presenter who was criticized, despite the fact that the program focused on the official version of the crime and further investigation.
What happened before?
Nikita Sergeevich Belogolovtsev was born in the family of a famous artist and TV presenter. After graduating from school, he entered MGIMO. After graduating from the faculty of international journalism, he followed in his father's footsteps.
In addition to Nikita, two more sons were brought up in the family. As in a fairy tale about three brothers, the children were brought up very friendly.
family trial
The Belogolovtsev family is truly amazing. Not only acting talent and parental connections lead to success. Solidarity, mutual support, raising children in a spirit of respect. All this has created a reliable springboard for achieving the set goals.
The twin brothers were born at seven months old. Long months of rehabilitation helped the children get out, but Nikita's younger brother, Evgeny, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Who knows, maybe it was this test that brought the family together. There is no doubt that it was her support that helped Eugene also conquer the television studio. The RazTV channel invited him to lead one of the headings in the program "Various News".
The entire Belogolovtsev family actively promotes a healthy lifestyle and instills a love for sports. They actively promote the rehabilitation program for children with cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome and autism "Dream Skiing". Parents believe that through skiing with competent coaches and specialized equipment, children achieve significant improvements.
Personal life of Nikita Belogolovtsev

In social networks
What celebrity today does not have a page on social networks? Belogolovtsev Nikita Sergeevich is no exception. He is quite widely represented on the Internet, his official pages are on Vkontakte, Facebook, Twitter and even Instagram. Information about the TV presenter can be found in all kinds of ratings.
Not television alone
TV presenter Belogolovtsev Nikita Sergeevich is not fixated on only one area of self-realization.
In addition to his media career, he also realizes himself as a sports producer.
Also at one time, Nikita Belogolovtsev headed the editorial board of the educational resource "Mel". According to the management, their main target audience is the parents of students, and not the students themselves and future students.
At the beginning of the journey, only six employees worked in the editorial board of the resource. The main investor and financial partner of Mel is the head of Nova Capital, one of the directors of Delovaya Rossiya Alexander Rudik. Nikita Sergeevich believes that the main profit of the team will be realized not so much from the sale of the publication itself, but from related services and services that they will offer.
Belogolovtsev also tried himself in the journalistic field as the author of articles for the Vokrug Sveta and Geo publications. He was the host of the air at the Mayak radio station.
Hobbies in free time
The eldest son of Belogolovtsev considers traveling to be his hobby. He considers Italy and all its provinces to be his favorite region. She loves to travel around Europe and around the world. Most often he rests with his family by the sea.
Values time spent with children. Joint participation in "Merry Starts", culinary master classes, DIY crafts. All this, of course, brings parents and children together, which is what Nikita Sergeevich does. Today you can find many photos where Nikita poses with her daughter.
The undoubted advantage of him, as a father, is that he instills in his daughter his love for sports. Previously, he himself also actively played football, but after the injury he replaced his favorite pastime with basketball, which he also appreciated from childhood.
Today, Nikita Belogolovtsev is not only the bearer of a star family name, but also a full member of the showbiz world. Today, his presence is in demand on many projects. Therefore, Belogolovtsev can justifiably be called a stellar personality.
Many people consider these babies to be children from God. They are completely dependent and defenseless before this cruel world. Growing them is a lot of work that requires great strength. Our selection includes families that have transcended prejudices and raise their children as ordinary people, only with a slightly different set of chromosomes or just slightly different from the rest.
Semyon, son of Evelina Bledans and Alexander Semin
On April 1, 2012, Evelina Bledans gave birth to her second son, Semyon. After giving birth, the actress admitted that she knew about the illness of her unborn baby, but, despite this, she and her husband, director and producer Alexander Semin, wished that the baby was born.
Doctors asked to think, hinting at an abortion, but Alexander confidently stated that he didn’t want to hear about it: “We will give birth anyway. Even if you now say that the child has begun to grow wings, nails, a beak and that he is a dragon in general, it means that there will be a dragon. Get away from us. We will give birth."
Evelina and Alexander not only accepted their son as God sent him to them, but also constantly prove to people that such children are also happiness. Evelina even started a page for Semochka on social networks.
“Our story is special, because the child is special, with Down syndrome,” Evelina Bledans. - If we had Sema like everyone else, we definitely would not waste time on this, since filling out a page on a social network takes a lot of time. First of all, the page was created for parents who have given birth to such children or who have been diagnosed with the birth of a handicapped child, as well as for those who are obviously afraid of being in such a situation. Initially, I wanted to convey to people that there is no need to be afraid of people with such a syndrome, but, on the contrary, to be loyal. Using the example of Semyon, we show how such a child develops, give different recommendations, and give a positive attitude. Many now are not afraid to raise such children themselves. Many now understand that such children are not a blow, but a gift of fate.
Family life in the end, Evelina and Alexander did not work out - the couple broke up. And in August of this year, the 49-year-old TV presenter amazed the public by doing IVF in the program “Andrey Malakhov. Live". And again, in his studio, after some time, having passed a pregnancy test, she found out that she was expecting a baby.
Eva, daughter of Lolita Milyavskaya
Lolita Milyavskaya did not abandon her daughter Eva when the doctors told the singer that her child was born handicapped. According to the artist, the doctors first said that the girl had Down syndrome, but later changed the diagnosis to autism - congenital psychological isolation. Lolita never misses a chance to praise her daughter in every interview. But at the same time, he does not hide the fact that the child has health problems. Until the age of four, Eva could not speak, besides, she has poor eyesight.
In many interviews, Lolita said that her daughter was born at six months old, the singer was then 35 years old. The baby weighed less than one and a half kilograms, and she was nursed for a long time in a pressure chamber. Eva grew up in Kyiv with her grandmother, Lolita's mother.
This year, Eva will be 20 years old, she practically does not lag behind her healthy peers. And her famous mother always supports other mothers raising children with genetic characteristics.
Daughter of Olga Ushakova Dasha
“I gave birth to Dasha at the age of 24,” said the host of the Good Morning program on Channel One in an interview with Antenna-Telesem magazine. - Just three months after her birth, Ksyusha became pregnant. Two children in a row were not planned, but this is the happiest accident that could happen to me. I am grateful to God that it happened this way, because after the eldest daughter had neurological problems, I would not have dared to give birth to a second child, probably for a long time and would never have known what happiness it is to be a mother of two little girls.” .
When Dasha was one year old, the girl stopped talking, although before that she had already said the cherished “mother”. There were also other words corresponding to age. They waited another year that speech would return and everything would be all right. But nothing has changed.
“We went through a thorough examination, and she was given a differential diagnosis, suggesting a range of diseases from not the most pleasant, but not terrible, to really serious and dangerous. The daughter underwent a re-examination abroad, the doctors reassured her, but they did not give an answer to the question “What is wrong?”. They said: "Wait, everything will be fine." Intuitively I felt that nothing would get better by itself. Unfortunately, in our country, early diagnosis of autism spectrum diseases in children is at an extremely low level,” Olga said.
Now, at nine years old, she is a completely independent girl with character, plans for life, interests and hobbies. Despite all the difficulties, Dasha dances, sings, plays the piano. Thanks to her efforts, like all children, I went to school on time!
“Problems happen, of course. Not every teacher is ready to learn how to work with special children in order to help just one child in the class. What advice would you give to other parents? Do not hide children, do not close houses, unite and defend their rights together at various levels. In all countries where comfortable conditions have been created for the life of people with autism, the parental lobby has played and continues to play a huge role. For the most part, problems in children arise not from the anger of people, but from a lack of information,” Olga Ushakova is sure.
Daughter of Svetlana Zeynalova Sasha
“Sasha was an emotional child, and at the age of one and a half a doctor came to her and asked: “Have you consulted a neurologist? The girl doesn’t look something in the eye, ”the TV presenter recalled in an interview with Antenna-Telesem magazine. - Me: "How, maybe she just didn't like you?" After that, I noticed that she can instantly withdraw into herself. From that moment on, there was no going back. They started going to the doctors, but in our country a child is not diagnosed with autism until the age of 5. They said: "Surround with love, maybe everything will improve."
Svtelana admits: at first there were denials, an attempt to get away from reality.
“I'm sorry I wasted my time. And then began active rehabilitation. Doctors analyzed behavior, identified negativity in a child, and then built a scheme to deal with it. We were visited by coaches six times a week, speech therapists, engaged in therapeutic riding on Skhodnya ... I was billed that was more than two of my salaries, so I agreed to any part-time job. There were doctors who said: "She will never speak to you, she will not read and hear you too." Every time we left the doctors, my daughter sobbed because she understood what the doctor was saying, and she was offended.”
“We stopped going to many children's parties, only those friends who accepted our situation remained. Sasha is my daughter, she is infinitely beloved. Now my daughter is studying in an inclusive school, it has special education for special children, they are developing a program. She studies with ordinary children, she just needs more lessons in some subjects, for example, to learn the multiplication table. Our teacher prepared the children and parents for Sasha's arrival, she said that a special girl would appear in the class, who must be helped. And they really treat Sasha very carefully. Classmates give her their toys, help in everything. Alexandra draws well, she has an excellent ear, she sings, she is learning to play the piano ... "
Varya, daughter of Fyodor and Svetlana Bondarchuk
Little Varya with her father Fyodor Bondarchuk, cousin Konstantin Kryukov and brother Sergei Bondarchuk
In 2001, the wife of Fyodor Bondarchuk gave birth to a girl. The baby was born prematurely, and the doctors fought for her life for a long time, after which the girl began to have developmental problems. Varya is a "sunny child", usually this is how children born with Down syndrome are called. They live in their own special world and smile much more often than their healthy peers. In the Bondarchuk family, the word “disease” was not pronounced - the spouses simply called Varya special.
Basically, Varya lives abroad, where she can receive the treatment she needs and a decent education. Svetlana notes that Russia, unfortunately, is not suitable for children like her daughter to live.
“Fantastic, funny and much loved baby! She instantly wins over everyone. It is simply impossible not to love her. She is very light. Varya, unfortunately, spends a lot of time outside of Russia; it is easier for her to study there, it is easier to undergo rehabilitation. Why, at the time of the adoption of the “Dima Yakovlev law”, did I start talking about this? Because I know about this problem firsthand. Fortunately, we have the opportunity to send her to study, to be treated, ”said Bondarchuk in an interview.
Fedor and Svetlana divorced two years ago, publishing a joint statement in Hello magazine: “With love and gratitude to each other for the years we have lived together, still remaining close people, maintaining mutual respect and love for our relatives, we, Fedor and Svetlana Bondarchuk , we inform: we decided to get a divorce ... We stopped being a couple, but we remain friends.
Daughter of Irina Khakamada Maria
Irina Khakamada, a talented business coach, designer, former politician and head of the Our Choice interregional social solidarity fund, which she created in 2006 for people with disabilities of all ages, imbued with this topic after the birth of her daughter Maria, who was diagnosed with Down syndrome.
Irina decided to give birth when she was already 42 years old. And Down syndrome is not the only thing she had to deal with. In 2004, doctors diagnosed Mashenka with leukemia. The girl underwent a course of chemotherapy. Fortunately, she overcame this disease. A few years later, Irina decided to show her daughter to people and came with her to the premiere of the blockbuster The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. This publication was not easy even for the strong-willed Khakamada.
In an interview, Irina says that Masha loves to dance. She has artistic thinking, but the exact sciences are difficult for a girl. And everything that concerns a figurative vision of the world, drawing, dancing, singing, she succeeds.
This spring, Khakamada's daughter became a guest of Elena Malysheva's program “Life is great!” on Channel One. For Maria, this is not the first appearance on television, she was very confident. Now she is in college, doing ceramics, learning English and thinking about a career.
“Today I got up very early to come here and perform. I want to be famous like my mom. I want to build a career and become famous in this country,” shared Maria.
Valery, son of Konstantin Meladze
Konstantin Meladze with his ex-wife Yana
Producer Konstantin Meladze divorced his wife Yana in 2013 after 19 years of marriage, the couple left three common children - Alice, Leah and Valery. Konstantin did not immediately find out that his son suffers from a rare disease - autism. It is not easy to get used to this diagnosis, because it is impossible to fight it. For a long time, this information was hidden from the press. However, the mother of the boy Valera spoke about her son's illness in the first interview after her divorce from Meladze.
“Doctors diagnosed Valera with autism. Treatment of this disease in all countries of the world is very expensive. No, this is not a sentence, this is a shooting, after which you were left to live. This is a serious disease that has not yet been cured. It is being corrected. I'm talking about a severe form of autism. These kids can be trained. I think that parents who are faced with a similar problem are familiar with the feeling of fear, helplessness in the face of grief, and shame. Our society does not accept, does not recognize “others”. But when a child has the first successes, hope and faith wake up - and then a new starting point of true victories and bright pride for your child begins. And parents do not need to be ashamed, to blame themselves. Do not think that you could do something wrong. When you understand what a responsible mission you are performing in your child's life, you will realize the value or even pricelessness of your role. And most importantly: autistic disorder should be diagnosed in the first year of a child's life! The fatal mistake of doctors and parents is to wait up to three years. Children with whom correct correction begins before the age of one show amazing results. And in the end, they are not much different from their peers.
Valera is a completely normal child in appearance. His parents realized that he was ill when he was three years old. He looks great, but lives in some kind of his own world. He hardly communicates with people, he has no need for this. The child is like an enchanted boy who outwardly is absolutely the same as us.
Thiago, son of Anna Netrebko
In 2008, the famous Russian opera diva Anna Netrebko gave birth to her first child, whom she named Thiago. When the boy was three years old, he was diagnosed with autism. This news was like a bolt from the blue for his famous mother.
“I used to explain his silence by the fact that in our house they speak four languages, and it is difficult for the baby to adapt to this. He only spoke when he needed something. We sounded the alarm, only noticing that the son did not react when he was addressed. Then everything became clear, ”she said.
According to the celebrity, in all other respects the child seemed absolutely normal. “Thiago is very neat and self-sufficient,” the singer believes. Despite everything, the star does not lose heart and believes that the boy will overcome the terrible disease!
“He is certainly a computer genius. I don't have a computer and I don't know how to use it. And he already knows how to count, recognize numbers up to 1000 in three years. He loves the zoo very much, watching the penguins swim underwater, ”the star mother said proudly.
Now her 10-year-old son is studying at an integration school in New York. This educational institution is visited not only by sick, but also by perfectly healthy children. Doctors encouraged the opera diva - her child has only a mild form of autism, and if the boy is treated in a special way, deviations in his development will be almost invisible, which means that he will be able to study normally and communicate with other children.
“I am not afraid to say that my son is autistic. Alas, many mothers face such a problem, and I want them to be convinced by the example of Thiago that this disease is not a sentence.
Zhenya, son of Sergei Belogolovtsev
Gleb, grandson of Boris Yeltsin
A child suffering from Down syndrome is also growing up in the family of the first president of the Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin. The boy was born in 1995 in the second marriage of his daughter Tatyana Yumasheva. The family hid the boy's illness for a long time. Even in family photographs it was impossible to see his face.
However, the day came when Tatyana broke the silence and told the whole truth in her microblog. The woman informed the press that Gleb was studying at a specialized school. Home to him come tutors. The boy loves swimming and chess.
“He remembers hundreds of classical pieces of music – Bach, Mozart, Beethoven… The chess coach is amazed at how extraordinary he thinks. Glebushka also swims amazingly in all styles, - writes Tatyana. - It is believed that Down syndrome is a disease. But, in my opinion, children with Down syndrome are just different. They care about what we easily pass by without noticing.
Tatyana Yumasheva, CEO of the Boris Yeltsin Foundation, in 2006 funded the creation of some educational methods for children with DS. And proud of his son, who is said to be a lot like Harry Potter.
Sergei, son of actress Iya Savvina
The only heir of Iya Savvina, son Sergei, was once awarded a solo exhibition. And it was an incredible achievement for him. After all, the boy was born with a diagnosis of Down syndrome, which sounds like a sentence in our country.
Nevertheless, his unusual, talented paintings destroyed the stereotypes of perception of people suffering from Down syndrome. Despite a serious illness, Sergei received a good education at home: he studied English, plays the piano excellently, knows poetry and painting well. And he picked up a brush and paints as an adult.
Savvina learned about the diagnosis of her long-awaited son back in the maternity hospital. She was offered to place a sick child in a special boarding school. But she categorically refused. Savvina accepted her boy, unlike other boys, the way he was given to her from above. I studied with him, developed his abilities in every possible way, hired teachers. What other children take months to master, he mastered over the years. But the results later surprised prominent physicians. And those of them who once assured her of the futility of such activities admitted their mistake.
Iya managed to take care of her son and play in films and theater, creating unforgettable images of selfless women.
Today Sergey Shestakov is 59. Although, in fact, he remained a big child, he nevertheless amazes everyone with his many talents. Plays the piano, recites poetry. Well, drawing, of course. But until now he still cannot realize that his beloved mother will never look at him with pride and love: actress Iya Savvina passed away on August 27, 2011 ...
Sergio, son of Sylvester Stallone
Sylvester Stallone and Sasha Zach with their sons: Sergio (left) and Sage (right)
Sergio, the youngest son of Sylvester Stallone, was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. For the actor, this news was a real blow.
Little Sergio had difficulty adapting to the world around him: he could not even establish contact with his relatives, not to mention the rest. The bitter irony is that in childhood, Stallone himself was almost written down as autistic, but he turned out to be healthy. Sergio did not cause serious concerns - and turned out to be sick. In the first moments, he and his wife Sasha were depressed, devastated and confused. But then the understanding returned that action is always better than inaction, and the parents - in the best traditions of Rocky - decided to fight.
“I understood that Sly would not be able to pay enough attention to this because of his work. And then I told him: give me the funds, and I will take care of everything,” says Sasha Zak.
And so it happened: Stallone worked with such dedication as never before, and his wife devoted herself to the fight for her son. With Stallone's money, Sasha achieved the creation and opening of an autism research foundation.
Now Sergio Stallone is 38 years old. He is not a public person, does not maintain contacts with journalists, does not attend social events, but lives calmly and quietly. His father helps him with medical care and visits him regularly. After the eldest son of Sylvester, Sage, died of a heart attack in 2012, the actor treats Sergio even more reverently.
“Yes, the son is always in his own world,” Stallone says, “and he never leaves. I have enough money, but for so many years I have not been able to help him with anything. Nevertheless, the thought of abandoning my son did not even occur to me - even in my youth, when I was so busy with my career.
Evan, son of Jenny McCarthy
In September 1999, Jennie married actor and director John Asher. In May 2002, she gave birth to a son, Evan. Everything seemed to be going well in her life. And suddenly, in August 2005, McCarthy and Usher divorced. It turned out that their child suffers from autism. John did not have the patience and strength to raise a sick baby. Doctors said there were no effective treatments for autism, but Jenny refused to believe them.
The cheerful, bright blonde has never hidden the diagnosis of her son Evan. Jenny didn't panic or give in to despair. Having learned about the diagnosis of her son, the star, having gathered all her will into a fist, began the fight against the illness of her child. McCarthy gave all her strength, time to Evan. And mother's love won! The boy's condition began to improve.
“Evan couldn't talk, couldn't make eye contact, was anti-social. And now he's making friends! It was amazing to see how certain therapies worked well for some kids but didn't work at all for others,” Jenny says.
McCarthy does a lot of work with Evan, and thanks to this, he attends a regular comprehensive school. In order to help other parents of children diagnosed with autism, she founded the charity Generation Rescue. In addition, the actress published the book Louder Than Words, in which she talked about how she managed to cure her son.
