We tell you about the funniest pranks of our artists and their reactions to April Fools' jokes - good and bad ones.
Our people love to joke, and especially to make fun of their neighbors, writes KP... Therefore, April 1 includes ingenuity and a sense of humor in order to celebrate April Fools' Day in a quality manner. Artists are no exception - they gladly mocked their friends and became victims of jokes themselves. On the day when everyone has a white back, we remembered the funniest pranks from actors, singers and directors.
Vladimir Vinokur and his old friend Lev Leshchenko God himself ordered to play each other. I must say that these comrades know a lot about jokes. Once Levchik and Vovchik sat down to celebrate Vinokur's birthday, which falls on March 31 - just the day before April Fools' Day. As soon as Vladimir Natanovich lay down, tired of the banquet, the bell rang.
- Lyova called and asked in a plaintive voice to take out two buckets of water. Says - the car will not start, - says Vladimir Natanovich. - I found two buckets, poured it, went out into the courtyard, where, of course, there was no one except the janitor, who congratulated me since April 1.
A few years ago, Lev Valeryanovich also threw out Olga Buzova by calling her via video link with an offer to sing the patriotic song “Comrade Ball”. Prior to that, I wondered, as it were, between the case: “You were related to football?”. Buzova, whose attitude to this sport was married to Lokomotiv midfielder Dmitry Tarasov and friendship with his colleagues, agreed to a duet. And even tried to sing along with the classic Soviet pop music. When the first verse ended, Lev Leshchenko congratulated the naive singer on April 1. We even regretted that it was a joke and the duet did not work out.
For Vladimir Menshov, the April Fool's joke became prophetic.
“On the morning of April 1, 1981, my acquaintances called me and said:“ This is probably a joke, but we just heard on the radio that your film “Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears” won an Oscar, ”recalls Vladimir Valentinovich. - Well, we just lived with the thought that they decided to play a trick on all of us, until they officially called me from the State Film Agency with congratulations, inviting me to the reception.
We clarified - indeed, the film award was presented on March 31, and the director himself, according to him, was not allowed to travel abroad, which is why he learned all the news together with the whole country by one of three buttons or on Central TV.
Adores draws and Yuri Kuklachev. The cat whisperer told us a funny story that happened to him several years ago:
- Just on April 1, a dwarf cockerel came from somewhere in our theater. And the guys-uniformists decided to play a trick on me: they caught a cockerel and hid it in a saucepan. And so I go out on stage, open the pan, and instead of a cat, a stupefied cock pops out. But everyone liked the number so much that the cockerel then officially became a part of it.
WHO ELSE
- Many artists dream of cool duets. Therefore, it is not surprising that when an interesting offer comes in, they forget to turn the calendar over and suspect a rally. Boris Moiseev became a victim of prank several years ago, even before the stroke:
- On April XNUMXst they called me. They say in the voice of my producer that I will have a duet with Nikolai Rastorguev. I was delighted. The talks were scheduled in Lyubertsy, which seemed logical to me. On the appointed day, I arrived. The musicians looked at me with such eyes! I then felt like a complete ... eccentric.
- For the songwriter Ilya Reznik, the April Fools' rally was traumatic. Ilya Rakhmielevich was brought down by his love of cinema.
- There was a rehearsal at the Komissarzhevskaya Theater, where I served then. And then they recall me and tell me that I urgently need to run away - an assistant film director is waiting for me at the service entrance, apparently wants to invite me to film, - the poet told KP. - I, of course, immediately rushed down to celebrate. I completely forgot that the theater had very low ceilings - the building was old! And in the end he hit his head with all his might. He even lost consciousness. So the prank turned out to be a concussion for me.
- But God himself ordered Sergey Lazarev to be played - after all, the singer was born on April 1. Apparently, this is what tempered our participant in Eurovision-2019. But if the business is done by professionals, then success can be achieved. The trouble with Sergei Lazarev happened on tour. The singer and his director were pinned down by bandits on the way to the airport. They dragged the driver out of the car, tied him to a tree in front of the astonished Lazarev and his team. One of the bandits fell behind the wheel, and the car with the musicians rushed in an unknown direction. After a few kilometers, they stopped in a field where tents were stretched out and a party was going on. It turned out to be a gypsy wedding. Elderly smart women surrounded the incomprehensible singer with shouts: "Here is our handsome groom has arrived!" While Sergei was trying to find out what was happening, a real angry groom pushed at him with fists. It was going to a scuffle, but finally the singer, who was already in deep shock, was told that he was the victim of an April Fools' rally of one comedy program.
- They say that you can't get Philip Kirkorov through jokes. But he also found a sore spot. In 2007, Alexander Tikhanovich, a representative of the Belarusian Eurovision delegation, called Philip, who was preparing the singer Dmitry Koldun for the competition. And he said that another band will sing the song: “You transferred the rights to your song ... In short, we rewrote your song and sent a new version to the European Broadcasting Union. Listen to how it happened. " And he turned on a pre-recorded track with another group. Philip's reaction was indescribable. I had to quickly admit that this was an April Fool's joke. And Philip admitted that at that moment his heart almost stopped from horror.
