A confession in an interview

People's Artist of Russia and artistic director of the Theatre of Nations Yevgeny Mironov said in an interview on Aleko Nadiryan's YouTube channel that he has lived with his mother in the same apartment all his life. He called himself a 'mama's boy' and added that he considers this his 'tribute'. According to the actor, having his mother nearby is a strong support for him, while he admitted that he fears losing her and 'will not be ready for her passing'. This is reported by Gazeta.Ru.

'Freedom is needed, which I never had'

Speaking about his own experience, Mironov noted that he would build a different relationship with his own child: 'I would not keep my own child so close. Freedom is needed, which I never had. Yes, I am under control.' At the same time, according to him, he is 'incredibly happy' that his mother is nearby: 'I wake up with the thought, and fall asleep with the thought, that my dear, beloved people are close to me.'

About the actor's family

The actor's mother Tamara Mironova turned 85 in April. For many years she worked as an usher at the Oleg Tabakov Moscow Theatre and raised two children: a son and a daughter, Oksana, who became a ballerina. Mironov himself hid the fact that he had become a father for several years: only in September 2020 did he introduce his firstborn, Pyotr, to the public at the premiere of the animated film 'Belka and Strelka. A Caribbean Mystery'. The actor made no comments about rumours that the boy was born to a surrogate mother, stating that his main calling is art and that his personal life will remain hidden from outsiders.
