Nikita Dzhigurda: vivid incidents and antics

Not only in the West, but we have plenty of our own "freaks.". The most striking, perhaps, will be Nikita Dzhigurda - "a brilliant artist, a handsome man and just a diamond" (as he calls himself). On the one hand, there is no need to tell about Dzhigurda. On the other - it can be done for hours, because his life is like the plot of a movie about a rock star, and his antics in public have become a real property of his career ...

So, what is Dzhigurda known for? A lot of things, but here's just some of them. antics and the incredible stories he told himself.

I wanted to be the second Vysotsky

Nikita was born in Kiev in 1961, and the blood of his parents and relatives flowed in his veins of the Zaporozhian Cossacks (at least, this is what the artist himself claims). This may well be true, given Dzhigurda's violent temper, as well as his "mighty" facial hair and athletic physique....

From childhood, our hero was a versatile personality: he was fond of sports and music, and his main idol was Vysotsky! Nikita so often and selflessly performed the songs of his favorite bard, that even tore his voice. And at the age of 20 he got to a psychiatric hospital diagnosed with hypomania. In general - already by 20 his life was more interesting than most movie heroes... Nikita wanted to associate himself with sports, but after a stay in a mental hospital "felt" that he should become an actor. As he said it himself:

"I was born to shine on stage. Look at me? Tall, handsome... You can't waste that kind of talent!"

That's for sure... And with self-esteem is all right, and with the ability to stand up for themselves. Dzhigurda became famous not only for his roles, but also outrageous antics in public - particularly with his attacks on the presenters. But first things first.

"TV Thunderstorm."

What would we do without Jigurda? We'd probably miss him. It's not for nothing that some fans have dubbed him "the storm of television." - Every appearance he makes in public or on live TV turns out to be not just a curiosity, but a loud scandal. For example, the artist's favorite "fun" is to get into fist fights with guests or invited guests.

Sometimes Dzhigurda tries on the image of a sort of "peacemaker."as in the case of Artyom DzyubaDzyuba is the top scorer in the history of Russian championships. When Dzyuba was excluded from the list of players of the Russian national soccer team after the appearance in the Network of one scandalous and not very decent in its sodarzhaniya "racy" video with him, Dzhigurda stood up in defense of the footballer ... And published his own similar video in protest. It is unlikely that this helped Artyom in any way, but some kind of male support....

Another interesting incident is when, at a press conference on his divorce from the Marina AnisinaThe artist "got into the mood", as they say, and performed an extremely obscene dance. He accompanied his choreography with throat chanting of mantras. Ms. Asina herself claimed that her husband "often inadequate.". However, in 2021, the couple got back together and remarried. I guess they got cold feet.

Before that, Dzhigurda was married three times, by the way. And, according to him, he will have a wedding soon American - not with someone, but with an ex-employee. Steve Jobs (as he himself likes to emphasize). In general, America holds a special place in Dzhigurda's heart: he has long declared his intention to obtain Aerican citizenship, and in 2016 he claimed that he would soon change his name to Janatan El-Air Bratash Ji Pogorzhelsky von Gan Eden!

"These are my ancestral surnames, and I took Janatan and Bratash in memory of a deceased kuma with whom we were part of the European Rosencreutzer Order..."

Politically active - but undefined

Nikita Dzhigurda has also built a reputation for himself politically activebut an uncertain man. Thus, at different times he has spoken out in support of his homeland or Russia. For example, in 2013 he performed on the stage of Euromaidan, delighting Ukrainians with poems of his own composition, singing the national anthem and supporting the protesters. However, a year later, he announced that he supported Donetsk! He was even granted citizenship of the Donetsk People's Republic, however, his passport was soon revoked - again because of his vague political views and eccentric statements.

Dzhigurda also wanted to run for office mayor of Moscowand shortly after this statement, a petition appeared asking the Russian Health Minister to send the showman to the Ministry of Health to a mental institution - allegedly "it's time to get your head straight". Against the background of recent events, Nikita, who dreams of America, visited a war zone: this video has already traveled all over the Web!

What can I say, a man lives full throttle and tries to keep up with events. And how do you feel about Dzhigurda? Share your opinion in the comments.
