Vitaly Gogunsky left the university. Why Vitaly Gogunsky left "Univer" and what is the reaction of the producers? Further plans in personal life and work

In the new season of Univer, fans will no longer see Kuzya. A kind of narrow-minded, blunt, but very kind and funny pitching. Actor Vitaly Gogunsky decided not to renew the contract to continue filming. Why did he make this decision? Why did Kuzya leave Univer?

Who is Kuzya?

Kuzya, or Eduard Kuzmin, student, dormitory resident, one of the heroes of the sitcom "Univer". The role was played by Gogunsky, a thirty-five-year-old actor, composer and singer.

Vitaly spent all his childhood in the Poltava region. From an early age he was fond of music, studied at the local music school, where he studied the piano. In the Poltava region, at one time, Gogunsky became a nominee for a children's music competition. At the same time he was actively involved in karate and football.

From the age of twelve, Gogunsky worked. And not because the deputy's son had nothing to eat. First - a loader and ancillary worker, then - a presenter at a local radio station. Subsequently, he was invited to conduct an information program on the channel "Russia".

Gogunsky did not immediately choose the path of a creative person. On the instructions of his father, he graduated from a technical university, received a specialty "Process Engineer". Only then did he enter the pop department of VGIK. Graduated in 2007.

He made his debut as an actor in 2004. Gogunsky played the seventeen-year-old son of the head of a construction company, Anton, in the film Farewell, Doctor Freud! The boy is completely uncontrollable, so a psychoanalyst is invited to him.

The actor creates another image in the film "Irretrievable Man". His hero - a young boy Roman Volkov - decided to quickly and easily hit a big jackpot. The drama is the story of the rise and fall of Roman, the search for happiness by other families.

Gogunsky played episodic and supporting roles in the films "Heiress" (2006), "Storm Gates" (2006), "Bear Hunt" (2007). In parallel with acting, Vitaly carried out composing. In particular, he owns songs from "Dr. Freud!" ("Think about me", "The wind will show me the way") and "Univer" ("Shnyaga shnyazhnaya", "About the end", "About parachutists").

Since 2008, Vitaly has starred in the TV series "Univer". But there was a rumor that we will not see the hero in the new season. Why?

Screen and real reasons

According to the plot of the film, Kuzya misunderstood the conversation between Masha and Martynov. He thought the guys were lovers. He got drunk to hell, wanted to hit Martynov in the face, but accidentally hit Masha.

In frustrated feelings, Kuzya gathered his things in the middle of the night, wrote a farewell note and left for his native Agapovka. In a note, he wrote that he was not doing anything in Moscow, there was no normal job, he was strained with his studies and everything was bad in his personal life. Therefore, he leaves for his homeland.

Masha follows him every other day, but soon returns. She says that she needs to live on, and Kuza is fine there. He will not return. A beautiful and logical departure of an actor from a television project.

It is logical because for so many years of participation in the Univer project, the label of a dull and eternal student has already been attached to Gogunsky. The actor himself confirms this fear. But not only the annoying role made him leave. Vitaly wants to move on: acting in other films, writing songs, directing. And thirty-five years for a student and for a youth series is not quite the right age.

The work on the set of Univer was too stressful. Often I had to film twelve hours a day all week. There was simply no time to participate in other projects. There were even rumors that, due to the busy schedule, Gogunsky began to kiss the bottle. For alcoholic passions he was asked from the project. Fortunately, these are only rumors.

"Univer" for Vitaly has become a good acting practice and made him recognizable. True, on vacation in the Dominican Republic, everyone mistook the actor for Brad Pitt. He was not against such confusion and responded with pleasure ...

2012 was a year of losses for Univer. And not only. Ekaterina Gamova announced her departure. Why did Gamow leave the Russian national volleyball team?

But back to Univer. Shortly before Kuzmin's departure, Allochka (Maria Kozhevnikova) left the project. She also decided to move on, develop, act in other films. And she succeeded. After "Univer" Maria Kozhevnikova starred in the films "The Dark World" and "Exchange Wedding".

Gogunsky has not yet had time to "move away" too far from "Univer". Still, thanks to this series, he became world famous. But the actors do not deny the role of "Univer" in their creative destiny. In 2013, Vitaly starred in the new sitcom “Univer. Sasha-Tanya ".

Well. Young and talented children have the right to leave their old and familiar places. The youth project is good. But it is impossible to develop one hero for so long. Students grow up, leave the hostel, new ones move in their place ... This is how it should be.

Currently, Vitaly Gogunsky works at the theater agency "Lekur", writes music, composes songs, skates on a skating rink with the stars (show "Dancing with the Stars"; his partner is Yekaterina Osipova) and plans to open his own theater. The actor said this after his couple was removed from the ice dance show. Guess what his theater will be called? That's right, "Kuzya". The audience is children. The actors are only comrades and friends of Gogunsky who have been tested in the creative workshop. He himself plans not only to run a theater for young spectators, but also to go on stage. In addition, the new institution will give acting lessons.

Known for his role as Kuzi in the sitcom "Univer", 40-year-old actor Vitaly Gogunsky launched his mini-series on YouTube. The actor returned to the usual image of a pitching student in the TV series "Kuzya - not the last season". The first series has over a million views, 50,000 likes and over 7,000 dislikes.

The picture is filmed as a mini-series for Instagram (each episode lasts about one minute). Then from 10 insta-episodes one episode for YouTube is obtained. The second series has already been loaded onto the platform.

Recall that Vitaly Gogunsky starred in "Univer" since the premiere in 2008. But in 2013 he decided to leave the project. In the 71st episode of The New Hostel, his hero Kuzya leaves for his native village Agapovka and since then rarely appears in the series. Gogunsky explained his departure by the fact that he was tired of the image of a "stupid pitching" who stuck to him and interferes with acting in more serious films.

After a short break and work on several projects (comedy films "The Bartender", "Take the Blow, Baby") Vitaly returned to his usual image of Kuzi. "I am 40 years old. Kuzi fans, don't worry. Kuze is 26, in October he will be 27, ”the actor wrote on his birthday on the social network.

The star of the youth TV series "Univer" Vitaly Gogunsky announced his retirement from the popular sitcom. The famous actor named his own age as the reason for his departure.

ON THIS TOPIC

Popular artist Vitaly Gogunsky played one of the key roles in the famous youth sitcom "Univer". It was he who played the role of the narrow-minded and not very smart student-athlete Eduard Kuzmin, which everyone calls Kuzey. However, Kuzya at one time met with the first beauty of the course, the blonde Allochka, whose role on the screen was embodied by Maria Kozhevnikova. According to many fans of the series, Kuzya and Allochka were one of the brightest couples in the series.

However, Maria Kozhevnikova has long left “Univer” and went into politics. And after her, Vitaly Gogunsky "pulled himself up". The popular actor cites his own age as the reason for his departure. "Despite the success of the show, I'm going to leave. I see that I have already become an adult for such a youth project... I think a new hero will come with his problems, dreams, whom the viewer will fall in love with, "Express Gazeta quotes Vitaly Gogunsky.

According to the publication, no one has been taken to the actor's place yet... However, it is known that the shooting of the next season of "Univer" will take place without the familiar and beloved by many Kuzi. The performer of the role of the unlucky athlete himself does not yet know exactly what he will do after the filming of the series is over: " I have always wanted to do music and cinema, I would like to try myself in directing... I am writing a script for the series with my VGIK friends. Honestly, there are still few offers to act in other projects, and we have few good directors. They offer completely different roles. In the meantime, I'm all in "Univer": busy five days a week for 12 hours. And so for five years in a row - 310 episodes were filmed! "

In life, Vitaly Gogunsky is strikingly different from his hero Kuzi. The actor is already 33 years old, he is happily married... Vitaly met his 25-year-old wife Irina a little over four years ago. In the summer of 2009, the couple spent a romantic vacation in the Dominican Republic, and upon returning home, it turned out that Ira was in her second month of pregnancy. The wedding was postponed due to the actor's busy shooting schedule. Apparently, when all the planned series were filmed, Vitaly found time for his personal life. As a result, in March 2010, Irina gave Gogunsky a daughter, who was named Milana.

This funny hero was remembered and loved by many. The series was associated with Kuzey and the series could not be imagined without Kuzi. Even all sorts of changes in the project while he was there. But suddenly he left. Moreover, the reason for Kuzi's departure from the plot was strained and implausible. Why did he leave

"Univer" stayed, but Kuzya left ...

There are such students in every university. They are big, strong, they are fond of any kind of sports, they do poorly in basic subjects, but they are always interested in girls. Therefore, Kuzya became familiar and close to the main audience of the series, unlike girls of model appearance and In addition, it is Kuzya who owns the songs from the project, playful and original words. Almost everyone likes the light humorous atmosphere of the series, and the love lines add spice to the plot.

The end of the storyline of Eduard Kuzmin

In the new season of the series "Univer: New hostel" Kuzya found a new love - Masha, played by the miniature Anna Khilkevich. According to the plot, he sought her love for a long time, and in the end she could not resist. The romance lasted quite a long time, until Masha gave Eduard a reason for jealousy. Jealous and offended Kuzya got drunk to the point of clouding his mind, which is not at all like him, since he is an athlete. Returning to the hostel late in the evening, he managed to hit Masha, swinging at his neighbor, which he did not forgive himself and therefore promptly left for his native Agapovka. The inconsolable girl even went to his village, hoping to return, but she herself came back after a couple of days. This turn of events seemed to many viewers a bit far-fetched, so questions about why Vitaly Gogunsky left Univer did not subside.

Rumors about Vitaly leaving the series

The perplexed fans of the series and the character played by Vitaly overwhelmed the channel's editors with questions and everywhere discussed the actor's departure. There were various rumors about why Vitaly Gogunsky left "Univer", among which the most popular were information about the actor's abuse of alcoholic beverages and the scandals with the director arising on this basis. Also, the public was agitated by rumors about the "star fever" of the artist, who allegedly demanded a wage increase from year to year.

According to the TNT channel, the actors of the sitcom do not live in poverty anyway, and in five years of filming they managed to buy themselves an apartment in Moscow. And Gogunsky's greed knew no bounds and the producers lost patience. So the following answer can be given to the question of why Vitaly Gogunsky left Univer. A continuation of this rumor was the information that the "starred" Vitaly broke off relations with his wife and left her with her little daughter Milana for the sake of a certain blonde Anna.

The reason for the termination of the contract, according to Vitaly himself

The actor gave his fans some time to worry, and then came out with an official denial of the rumors, saying that he himself gave up the idea of ​​renewing the contract with the channel. He starred in "Univer" for 5 years, 12 hours a day. Hard work resulted in 390 episodes of the beloved series. Such a schedule did not allow focusing or even just paying attention to family and other job offers.

In addition, Vitaly realized in the fall of 2012 that he had become too old for a student series. He has overcome the thirty-year mark, is happily married and is raising a little daughter, Milana, to whom he wants to devote time. He is also tired of the image of Eduard Kuzmin, from the fact that fans associate him with a dull, good-natured guy from the village, not taking into account that Vitaly himself is an educated and well-read young man. In short, the reasons for leaving were personal.

In his interview, Vitaly Gogunsky left the topic of agreements with the producers of the series, who were very unhappy with his departure from the project, because many interesting moments were tied to his character. From the creators of the series, Vitaly received several angry attacks, accusations of irresponsibility. And he himself notes with bitterness that he was most struck by the fact that in the midst of the scandal none of the filming partners with whom he was friends during the work contacted him. Therefore, after leaving the series, Vitaly stopped communicating with his former colleagues.

Further plans in personal life and work

Rumors that Vitaly Gogunsky is leaving Univer appeared earlier, and then
the actor called the reason for the desire to try himself in directing. He has similar intentions now: in collaboration with his friends from VGIK, Vitaly is preparing a script for the series, and also devotes the free time to filming in the project "Sasha + Tanya". Many do not understand why Vitaly Gogunsky left Univer and continues to act on the same channel in a similar area. This is because he got the opportunity to select the proposed material and agree to age roles, as well as free time, which he can devote both to his family and incoming job offers.
