What is the famous Verka Serduchka doing now? From children's amateur performances to the main stage of the world: the biography of Verka Serduchka When Andrey Danilko will sing in his own voice

Verka Serduchka performed by Andrei Danilko became a real star. At the end of 2013, the actor decided to suspend his concert activities. Then he justified his decision by saying that it was not the right time for fun and jokes in the country. As it turned out, there is another reason why Andrei began to appear at concerts less often. The fact is that 25 years of active touring have taken their toll, and health problems have appeared. Therefore, the understanding came that something needed to be changed. What is Andrei Danilko doing now and where does he live?

Judge on the show "X Factor"

Andrey is an incredibly active artist, so he cannot sit idle for long. Therefore, he decided to engage in producing activities. In addition, Danilko acted as a member of the jury of the national selection for Eurovision.

For two seasons (2016 and 2017), Andrei was a mentor and member of the jury of the X-Factor project. For two years in a row, the artist had the opportunity to work with musical groups. Both times his students reached the finals, but failed to win.

In life Danilko is cheerful and cheerful person, but on the show he gained the title of the most severe judge of the jury. And the whole point is that at the qualifying stage he made excessive demands. He was no less strict and harsh with his students. According to Andrey, he is doing the right thing because he wants to teach the contestants to cope with difficulties. True, his harsh methods did not bring victory to the guys.

Selection for Eurovision

Andrey received an offer to take part in the qualifying round for Eurovision 2016. The artist hesitated for a long time, but agreed after he learned that his colleagues would be Konstantin Meladze and Ruslana. In this project, Danilko was also remembered by the audience for his tough attitude towards the participants and strict judging.

In the next two years, Andrei was again on the jury of an international competition. But last year's Eurovision selection was marked by confrontation between the judges themselves. Danilko’s opinion always ran counter to the position of the other participants. The artist very often reacted emotionally to everything that happened on stage.

Personal life

For many years, Andrei was in the shadow of the image of Verka Serduchka he created. IN real life he is the complete opposite of the stage image. Danilko is a modest and quiet person who does not like to be the center of attention. He doesn't like parties and very rarely takes part in them. He prefers solitude to social events. Danilko says that loneliness does not bother him at all. The artist explains his desire for solitude by an overabundance of communication at work. A large number of He invariably makes people uncomfortable.

Nothing is known about the artist’s personal life. Andrey says that about 20 years ago he really wanted to have a wife and children, and then he completely immersed himself in work. In his opinion, he missed his moment, which is why he is still not married. And now it’s probably too late to change anything.

Verka's farewell

Behind last years Andrei appeared only a few times in the image of Verka Serduchka. Most he spends time in his homeland. At the beginning of last year, the artist announced that he intended to resume concerts, since people now lack positivity.

For 2019, Andrey has planned a concert tour of European countries, which should end with performances in Ukraine. In his programs he wants to perform old hits and sing new songs. The artist believes that each stage character has its own lifespan. And the time has come for his Vera to take off the star from her head and say: “Goodbye!”

Probably, Serduchka’s loyal fans will miss her songs, without which not a single feast is complete. But Danilko is right, it’s impossible to use the same image all your life. Who knows, perhaps in the future the talented artist will delight us with something new!

In the 90s, the conductor character became incredibly popular both in Ukraine and Russia. Years later, Andrei Danilko was not happy with the constant associations with Verka Serduchka. But what personal problems was he hiding under the guise of a bright heroine?

The success of the “SV-show” could be envied: thanks to it, the little-known artist Andrei Danilko became in demand. Representatives were happy to attend the show Russian show business. Verka Serduchka quickly gained the status of a public favorite. The cheerful conductor turned out to be a successful singer and star of corporate events; she was invited to music festivals, concerts and even Eurovision.
But not everything was so rosy: after the composition performed on international competition, Danilko found himself at the center of a scandal because of the lyrics of the song. It cost him enormous strength and nerves to regain his reputation.
26 years have passed since Andrei introduced Verka Serduchka to the audience. Tired of the image, last year the artist announced the singer’s farewell tour. But is Danilko really ready to part with the character? And what did he have to sacrifice for fame?

FROM POOR CHILDHOOD TO STELLAR CAREER

Andrey Danilko had a difficult childhood

The future artist was born in Poltava in a simple working family: Mom worked as a painter, and dad worked as a driver. My parents lived poorly, there was no bath or shower in the house, so they had to go to the neighbors to wash once a week. Childhood was also difficult because Andrei’s father abused alcohol.
“Dad could knock out windows and start fights. I ran with a stool and called the police. This was in the order of things for us,” Danilko shared on the air of the “Once Upon a Time” program on NTV.
Mom took care of both her son and her husband onto her fragile shoulders. It was especially difficult for the woman when Andrei’s father became seriously ill. He died of cancer when the child was only 10. Despite difficult relationships with his dad, Danilko Jr. was very upset about his departure.
“He was a very good person, but when he drank, he wasn’t very good. As a child, I said I would never drink, seeing the consequences. It didn’t come true, but it doesn’t affect me that way, thank God,” noted the artist.

Russian celebrities happily came to Verka Serduchka's show

Mom worked two shifts, and elder sister Andrey started independent life, so the boy was often left at home alone. He was sad at school too. There the child met a girl named Anya Serdyuk. An excellent student from an intelligent family won Danilko’s heart, but the social inequality between them was felt too acutely. He did not harbor vain hopes that one day Anya would reciprocate his feelings.
To forget about non-reciprocal love and injustice, the teenager took up amateur activities. Soon not a single performance of the local KVN team was complete without him. And although Andrei and Anya diverged, he promised the girl that he would glorify her name. Beautiful legend or it’s true, but in 1993 the artist first introduced a new character to the public - Verka Serduchka. At the Humorina festival, Danilko, with a bright heroine who ridiculed women’s complexes, took second place, and the following year received the Grand Prix. Invitations to radio, television and pop concerts poured in.
In 1997, the “SV-show” was released in Ukraine, where the main role was given to the busty conductor Verka. Danilko’s on-air partners were Inna Belokon, Radmila Shchegoleva and Olga Litskevich. At the same time, Andrei wanted to continue his education as a pop artist, but he was quickly expelled from the circus school: for absenteeism and a difficult character. There really was no time left for lectures, especially when the program was bought on Russian television.
Honorary guests came to Serduchka's program: Lyudmila Gurchenko, Ilya Oleynikov, Philip Kirkorov. Gradually, the character became perhaps the most popular in the country. Musicals, numbers, hit songs - Verka was everywhere. The heroine turned out to be so popular that she even went to Eurovision in 2007, where she took second place. However, many people heard that the conductor from the stage said the phrase “Russia, goodbye,” and not “Lasha tumbay,” which greatly complicated Andrei Danilko’s relationship with Russian fans.
“It was such a cheat, to the point of hatred. They said about me: “He spat in the face of Russia!” “In my life I could not think that such a scandal would arise,” the artist explained in Irina Shikhman’s show “Should I Talk?”
Danilko repeatedly tried to get away from the image of a conductor and acted in the role of a policeman, Cossack and soldier. However, Andrei received the largest fees thanks to Verka Serduchka. So, 10 years ago he was included in the list of the richest Ukrainian artists, and in 2013 he received the award “For special achievements in music” at YUNA.
Of course, over the years, Danilko began to get annoyed that fans perceived him and Serduchka as a single whole. The actor starred in more than 20 films, but each time the character of his characters was copied by Verka. So will the conductor's story end forever?

FAREWELL TO VERKA SERDUCHA

Andrey Danilko was a mentor on X-Factor for several seasons

Andrey Danilko tried himself not only as a performer, but also as a mentor. In 2016 he was invited to the jury Ukrainian show X-Factor. The artist stayed there for three seasons, and his team, Mountain Breeze, even took third place in the competition. Danilko became a producer for the boy band, rejoicing at the opportunity to realize himself in a different role.
“It’s very difficult to get rid of the image, which is why I’m attracted to behind-the-scenes work. I understand that soon I will no longer be able to show Serdyuchka, because an adult guy won’t put a star on his head. But we came up with the idea of ​​doing a farewell tour, everything is as it should be,” Andrei said last year.
The artist called the conductor’s last performance a concert in Odessa on July 13, 2018, after which he began a grand tour.
“By farewell tour we mean a big tour - a kind of “thank you” to those people who gave me, a boy from Poltava who lived in an extension where wallpaper was wrapped, the opportunity to provide for myself financially, to live on Khreshchatyk and, in principle, not to work,” - the singer emphasized.

In 2018, the image of Verka Serduchka turned 25 years old

Fans were upset by Danilko’s statement. One could only guess whether it was due to a creative crisis, depression, or a desire for novelty. However, Andrei hastened to assure loyal listeners: rumors about the final end of Verka Serduchka’s career are exaggerated.
“Verka Serduchka is a star. She may announce a farewell tour and then return again. It's in the style of the stars. Now we are saying goodbye, but we will meet again,” the artist hinted at a possible outcome.
However, Danilko did not hide the fact that he was tired of the conductor’s solo concerts and intended to take a break from his work. City tours were especially difficult for Andrey. “I felt bad all the time. My face was covered in nervousness. I wanted to hide from people. In such a state you cannot relax, so you constantly had to drink. I don’t remember some years at all, from 1998 to 2010 almost nothing,” the artist complained.

At Eurovision, Andrei Danilko's dressing room neighbor was Madonna

Even if the era of big solo concerts is over, Danilko has not stopped performing at closed parties and corporate events in his usual way. Andrey made an exception for this year’s Eurovision, becoming a guest star of the show along with Madonna.
“We crossed paths literally once, when she arrived,” Andrei Danilko told StarHit. - We had a job at Euroclub, and she asked for our dressing room. They screwed up the blue light bulbs there to make the light softer. The organizers were involved in this matter, and from their appearance it was noticeable that they did not experience much joy from the presence of Madonna, only problems.”

WITHOUT LOVE?

Andrey Danilko was credited with an affair with Radmila Shchegoleva

The bright and brazen Verka Serduchka has little in common with the character of the real Andrei Danilko. Unlike the character, the artist is laconic and calm. But what is known about his personal life?
The artist does not talk about matters of the heart, noting only that he does not find time for relationships due to his workload. One day Danilko mentioned that he had an affair with a girl on the stage, but did not divulge the name of his chosen one. Andrey was repeatedly credited with having love affairs with his colleagues on the “SV-show” - Olga Litskevich, Radmila Shchegoleva and, especially, Inna Belokon. Andrei Danilko considers the performer of the role of Serduchka’s mother to be a close friend: they have known each other since the 80s, attend social events together and go on vacation. All this gave rise to rumors that Inna left her husband for the sake of the actor. However, there was no divorce, and Belokon still lives with her husband and raises her daughter.
“We have a very affectionate relationship. The two of us can stay in the room. But that doesn't mean anything. There were moments when the working relationship grew into something more. So what's wrong with that? You see, this always happens in a drunken shop,” the artist justified himself.
Inna Belokon - close friend Andrey Danilko

The actor found himself at the epicenter of scandals not only because of gossip about his relationships with colleagues. In 2013, the Ukrainian media were full of headlines that Andrei has two sons, Vanya and Misha, whom he carefully hides from the public. In addition, information has appeared that by the fall surrogate mother will give birth to the artist another child. “Where all this comes from, I don’t know. I don't communicate with anyone at all. I lead very closed image life. There is only a stage. Why do I need children? This is not buying a TV. There must be some kind of relationship,” Danilko was indignant.
Many times Andrei claimed that he felt comfortable being alone, but in the conversation he did not conceal the fact that starting a family is part of his future plans.
"Certainly. But I don’t understand at all how you can take it and create it for yourself. The need for each other is important to me, so that there is friendship, love, and it is comfortable to be nearby in the same living space. For me it complicated story, - the artist admitted. - I want children too. But how will it turn out? I don't do anything special. Either it’s given or it’s not.”

Andrei Danilko, known as Verka Serduchka, upset fans last year with the news of the end of his concert activities. And the other day he showed up again: he performed in front of the public at Eurovision. What is happening in the artist’s life and where does “Verka Serduchka,” beloved by millions, live today?

Moved to Germany?

In 2014, the media wrote that Andrei Danilko decided to suspend his performances due to events in Ukraine. The political situation in the country convinced the artist that the people were not in the mood for jokes. And his own health had deteriorated.

Verka Serduchka decided to change the situation and get medical treatment in Germany. It was there that Danilko temporarily went. But there is no talk of a final move yet. Andrey Danilko still lives in Kyiv, but at the same time he travels a lot.

Apartment in Kyiv

The luxurious apartment of Andrey Danilko is located in the center of the Ukrainian capital. Serduchka's house is located in the famous 14-story Stalinist high-rise building with a spire on Khreshchatyk. The building is an architectural monument and is protected by the state.

Danilko's apartment is three-level, with 12 rooms. 3 bathrooms and kitchens, 6 bathrooms and a truly royal interior.

Danilko first bought one apartment, and then looked at the one below it and combined it into one. They say that buying real estate cost the artist a million dollars, but such a sum turned out to be affordable for him.

Andrei never hid the fact that he made good money from the image of Verka Serduchka. He not only provided housing for himself, but also bought apartments for his parents, sister and nephews from Poltava.

And when last year the artist announced his completion musical career, he also said that thanks to the money he earned during his performances, he can now rest as much as he wants.

Many people are wondering: how does the 45-year-old artist live, why hasn’t he started a family yet? Andrey likes to spend time in his apartment completely alone.

He likes to watch interviews with Soviet actors and Soviet films. And secretly dreams of Great love. But he treats this philosophically: what will happen cannot be avoided. If he is not destined to be happy in love, nothing can be done about it.

It is enough for the artist that he, a simple guy from Poltava, has achieved recognition and lives without denying himself anything.

By the way, you can follow the life of Verka Serduchka in her official Instagram where they often appear latest photos and video.

A comedian, artist, TV presenter, singer, who was refused admission to the music academy three times - this is far from full list Andrey's activities. Starting with parody works, over the 20 years of his biography Danilko gained popularity and authority, allowing him to participate in television shows as a mentor.

The biography of the future singer and showman originates in the city of Poltava, which is located in the north-east of Ukraine. He was born on October 2, 1973 in a family of Ukrainian nationality. Andrey's father worked as a driver. However, due to alcohol abuse and lung cancer, he died when the child was 7 years old.

After a short period of time, Danilko becomes the captain of the KVN team, and also begins to perform as part of the vocational school team No. 30. Every year he performs on stage children's camp. Andrey becomes a student theater studio“Grotesque”, on the stage of which the legendary Verka Serduchka would be born in the future.

In 1993, at a celebration in honor of April Fool's Day, Andrei, for the first time in his biography, showed the public his character Verka Serduchka. The jury members appreciated the student’s creativity and awarded him second place, however, returning to this competition the next year, Danilko managed to get first place, and his photos were distributed to local newspapers.

After graduating from college, the singer again tries to enroll in a music school, but is refused. As a result, he graduates from art and design school.

In 1995, Andrei sets off to conquer Kyiv, where he immediately enters the variety and circus school, where he studies the spoken genre. For reasons that the artist does not disclose, after a year and a half he is expelled from the educational institution.

Six months after leaving school, the future showman enters the Institute of Culture and Arts with a degree in stage director for mass entertainment, where he successfully studies for 3 years, but in the 4th year he was distracted from receiving an education, and Danilko was expelled due to the fact that he passed 2 sessions.

Career path

Andrey’s first serious popularity came in 1997, when the Ukrainian TV channel launched the “SV-show”, inviting him to main role Danilko. The program of a conversational format, where show business stars came to the artist in the image of Verka Serduchka, quickly became one of the highest rated on local television, and its photos and videos went far beyond the borders of Ukraine, after which the program was bought up by Russian media magnates.

At the same time, the actor first met and established contacts with Lyudmila Gurchenko, Ilya Lagutenko, Philip Kirkorov, Boris Moiseev and other personalities well-known in the CIS.

In the same year, under the auspices of music producer Yuri Nikitin and his company Mamamusic, the artist released his song “Simply Vera” for the first time in his biography.

This composition was a mixture of Russian, Ukrainian and English languages, which, in combination with the bright and memorable image of the artist, was very popular with the audience and judges.

In 2014, an assassination attempt was planned on the artist’s life by his friend Igor Klinkov, but thanks to the fact that Andrei’s inner circle learned about the planned murder in time, Danilko managed to leave for Europe on time and stay there permanently for the next few years.

In the spring of 2019, she attends Eurovision as a guest star, performing the song of the last winner Netta – Toy.

Personal life of Andrey Danilko

Andrei's real personality is strikingly different from his alter ego Verka Serduchka. The singer is quite lonely and hides his personal life, but it is known that, despite his advanced age, he still has not acquired a wife or children.

According to Danilko himself, until recently he wanted to start a family, get married, but this moment he is already comfortable alone. He is indifferent to various parties, expensive things, telephones and other attributes of wealth. He believes that it is best to spend the money he earns on charitable purposes without advertising it. He regrets that money cannot buy the joy of life.

He does not rule out the possibility of meeting his future companion on stage; his past relationships began in the same way. The artist’s fans would like to see him on the show “The Bachelor,” but it is unknown whether this will come true.

Where does Andrei Danilko live now?

The singer tries not to disclose details of his personal life, but his place of residence remains known.

According to available information, Andrey now lives in Kyiv at Khreshchatyk, building 25. This elite thirteen-story high-rise building is an architectural monument and is protected by law. The artist purchased two apartments there and then combined them into one large one. Danilko’s home has as many as 12 rooms, 3 kitchens, 3 bathrooms and 6 bathrooms.

In addition to the apartment in the capital, Andrei also has a country house located 30 km from Kyiv, where the artist lives in the summer. Here the actor bought a four-story house from the previous owner, made high-quality repairs and installed a high fence. By expert assessments, the total value of the artist’s famous real estate can reach $2 million.

Andrey Danilko today

Now the artist is gradually regaining his popularity after a long break. In 2018, Andrei participated in the filming of the film “Sex and Nothing Personal” as a police officer, and a year ago he visited the set of the series “Servant of the People” playing a cameo.

At the same time, the singer continues to participate in various television shows, remains a judge and mentor of The X Factor, and also gives concerts in the role of Verka Serduchka.

Even a person who is not into pop music has still heard something about Verka Serduchka. This image was created by the talented Ukrainian actor Andrey Danilko. Even 10 years ago he could often be seen on TV in various song and humorous shows. But today Andrei has disappeared from the screens and many generally believe that he has given up creativity. Is this so and is there a chance that the unforgettable image of the grumpy and expressive Verka will appear before the public again?

The artist's early years

Danilko was born in 1973 in Ukraine. His family did not live well. His father, who worked as a driver, died of cancer when little Andrey was 7 years old.

Mom often took on extra work in order to somehow provide for the family.

The relationship with my sister was not very good; she was 10 years older and the interests of the children differed.

There is an interesting story told by the singer himself as an adult. When he was at school, a pretty excellent student sat with him, whom Andrei really liked. Although she herself experienced only friendly feelings for the future singer.

The surname of the neighbor on the desk was Serdyuk. As a high school student, he promised her that he would make her name famous. The lady of the heart was indifferent to such a loud statement. Now Serdyuk is married, raising a daughter and hardly even remembers that incident. However, this could all be a beautiful invention of the singer.

IN early years Danilko tried himself in different directions:

• Singing;
• Theater Club.

The artist liked all this at the same time. Therefore, it is clear why his stage image not only reveals sparkling humor, but also delights the audience with outstanding vocals.

An extraordinary image as the basis for success

Having entered the technical school, Andrey continues to develop his talent. He regularly performs on the student stage, focusing on originality and expressiveness of performance.

In 1993, the same one was born legendary image Serdyuchki. Danilko presented a number on “Humorina”, defending the honor of his vocational school. The character turned out to be funny: a woman of impressive shape with a star on her head and an interesting manner of speech. Her character was far from modest.

According to some, Andrei successfully exposed women's shortcomings in a humorous light, while making the viewer fall in love with them.

The jury appreciated Serduchka, although she only received second place. But some representatives of television programs drew attention to the original image. Danilko's first serious success came after his performance at the SV-show. After this, the image became recognizable.

Gradually Verka became known not only in Ukraine, but also in Russia. She performed on the same stage with Kirkorov, Gurchenko and other popular stars. Gradually her image became more and more multifaceted. Serduchka is now not only a character with humorous monologues, but also a singer.

Danilko decided to take music seriously in 2005, but not in the guise of a perky Ukrainian woman. The singer presents his the first lyrical album of instrumental music.

An attempt to express oneself outside of the established female character fails. The viewer is very accustomed to Verka. Andrey returns to his previous role, which also brings commercial success.

Listen to this melody “Spring” from Andrei Danilko’s 2005 instrumental album, in which he proved himself to be a talented composer:

The peak of the singer's career is considered to be his performance at Eurovision. The audience appreciated the skill of the Ukrainian actor’s transformation and the fiery song. Andrey received second place, which consolidated his position in the world of music.

Having a good income and increased love from fans allowed the actor to change his usual image without fear. Instead of a loud woman, he acted as a policeman, Cossack, etc. All the characters turn out to be comical, although they still did not overshadow Verka.

Closer to 2014, the inexplicable happens. Once popular singer practically stops participating in many shows and concerts.

Where is Serduchka now?

This question has been of interest to Danilko’s fans for several years now. It is believed that it will fade away creative activity became for several reasons:

1. Policy;
2. Health problems;
3. Loss of interest in the stage.

Andriy Danilko decides to create a new party in the Verkhovna Rada. But many Ukrainian politicians did not like their rival from show business. Therefore, after threats and blackmail, the artist was forced to return to his previous activities.

But the return did not go so smoothly. Friction between the two fraternal peoples played a role.

In Russia, Serduchka began performing outside of big stages and mainly at private concerts for visitors from Ukraine.

The intense creative schedule of past years has affected the health of the once popular Danilko. For example, in 2018 he was unable to go on stage due to his blood pressure rising sharply.

The singer himself is sure that Verka’s image has lost relevance. After all, some of his fellow citizens began to believe that a transvestite speaking on behalf of Ukraine disgraces national dignity. In Russia, after the events of Euromaidan, the popularity of all Ukrainian cultural figures naturally fell.

As a true artist, Andrei still sometimes returned to the stage. In 2018, he performed at the Rendezvous festival. He was personally invited by L. Vaikule, with whom he has long-standing friendly relations. Danilko played a role in the popular Ukrainian TV series Servant of the People 2, where he had a small cameo.

But last news they left no chance for “life” for Serduchka. Andrei stated that he no longer intends to perform in this image. He began to live a more relaxed life.

The lack of creative activity did not become a burden for the singer, since he had not particularly liked public life before.

The artist's revelations about the desire for loneliness

Danilko admitted in an interview that he has psychological feature, which to some extent can be considered a disease. He doesn't tolerate other people around him well. Sometimes he even specially bought VIP seats on the plane so as not to talk to anyone.

For an artist who has filled huge stadiums, such a revelation seems strange.

However, on stage Andrei completely entered into character and forgot about what was bothering him. Moreover, in his younger years, the presence of many fans and journalists nearby did not bother him so much.

What is Andrey Danilko doing now?

Today the artist tries to avoid people. He has no thoughts about marriage; he is quite happy with his share of being a bachelor. According to him, the desire to start a family disappeared many years ago.

Danilko, unlike the sociable Verka, prefers to spend time alone, listening to audio books or watching TV.

At the moment, it’s hardly worth expecting Serduchka to return to the big stage. Its “creator” himself lost interest in this image. However, the cheerful and extravagant Ukrainian lady with big bust left a significant mark on the history of show business.

Video: one of the last interviews with A. Danilko

In this video, Irina Shikhman will ask the “former Verka Serduchka” about the reasons for leaving the stage, Andrei will talk about his political views and creative plans for the coming years:
