At the opening of the New Wave festival, 57-year-old Philip Kirkorov appeared in a completely new uniform – slim and muscular. Perhaps we have never seen such an enthusiastic performer. KP.RU found out why Kirkorov changed so much. Spoiler: there was no liposuction! The fact is that Philip got his first leading role in a big film – the comedy project “Brothers” by Mark Gorobets, which was filmed, among other things, in Sochi. In the film, the singer plays the older brother, and the role of the younger brother is played by Denis Dorokhov.
The producers of the film “Brothers” immediately warned Kirkorov that the shooting would be extreme. The hero of the King of Pop runs through forests and mountains and even drowns in a real swamp. Of course, serious preparation was required. Moreover, Philip immediately declared that he wanted to perform most of the stunts himself.
“I was preparing for the film Brothers, getting used to the role, worrying. I played sports and almost never left the gym. I swam in the pool. And to this day, almost every morning of mine starts at five in the morning. I work out in the gym from six to eight. I swing, I get up… In general, I did everything necessary to make it look beautiful in the frame. And I think I succeeded. Everyone is happy,” Philip Kirkorov told KP.RU.
KP.RU was able to attend the filming of “Brothers” in Sochi and even touch Philip’s iron biceps. And yes, they are real! Philip also shared that thanks to this project he started a new life.
“At almost 60 years old, I started a completely new life, both personal and creative: in cinema. This is my new, well-forgotten self. I have always loved cinema very much. And I am very glad that I was lucky enough to have a good script, a good crew, a director, producers and, of course, partners. Well, the plot is incredibly interesting and very funny,” Philip shared with KP.RU.
Let us also add that the filming of the movie “Brothers” is still underway. At the same time, the release date for the general release is already known: December 19.
