On May 25, the new season of the series “Sweet Life” starts. The editorial staff of Woman’s Day learned from one of the main characters, Maria Shumakova, whether it was difficult to get fat and thin for the role, as well as how to decide on explicit scenes.
I put on weight on purpose for the first season. As soon as we filmed it, I began to return to form. And now I tell everyone that this is not an advertisement, they don’t pay me money for it, that I do Bikram Yoga. At first I was very active for several months, now I take it easier, I do it three times a week. Plus, I ride a bike every day, walk a lot, drink a lot of water and try not to overeat in the evenings, although sometimes I can afford something unnecessary.
Favorite is what my friend, the actress of the series “Sweet Life” Anastasia Meskova, prepares. This is just my favorite cuisine. And my mother’s, of course. Wildly, of course, I love Italian, Thai food. I can eat a cake, I eat it all, but either I do it in the first half of the day, or in a balanced way: if I ate today, then tomorrow I need to cut myself a little. The main thing is not to feel a sense of wine about what you have eaten, then there should be no extra pounds.
Maria and Anastasia Meskova are friends not only in the series, but also in life
If you mean the schedule, then when I’m in Riga, I wake up at 9 in the morning, see my beloved to work, get on my bike, ride to my favorite restaurant, eat there, work – on Skype, via e-mail, read scripts, teach texts. In the evening we go to concerts, walk, eat, ride bicycles, that is, we have a rest. And when I arrive in Moscow, from about 8 am to XNUMX am I work actively – auditions, rehearsals, conferences. In Riga I have a rest, in Moscow I work hard.
Good mood. Kidding. Love yourself and don’t be lazy. The worst thing for a woman is laziness. When you are lazy, you become ugly, neither yourself nor others like you. When you are active, even if you have extra pounds, you are automatically attractive. I spend a lot of time on my appearance, on sports, on beauty salons. I try to love myself and take care of myself.
I believe that sports and healthy eating are fundamental things that contribute to a long life. If you are comfortable and in good health, then please. But I still want people to go in for sports. This is not a question of adjusting oneself to some standards, but a question, first of all, of health. The main thing, in general, is that everyone is healthy, this is how I feel about plus size models.
No, not hard, because I grew up on European cinema, on the films of Fellini, Bertolucci, on Italian neo-realism and the French new wave. Therefore, when I get a role, I do not divide it into explicit scenes and non-explicit ones, so for me there was no difficulty here. The main thing for me is that I like the script and like the role.
All my childhood I dreamed of playing something, but a lot of auditions and auditions passed me by. Quiet Don, Anna Karenina. I was very sad about this and at some point decided not to put blocks for the Universe, but just choose from those wonderful projects that he offers me. I do not limit the space of options to any one role, because then I will be very upset if I do not get it.
