The summer season has come to an end, and Russian stars of show business and cinema do not stop sharing with fans photos from a paradise vacation on the seas via Instagram. Sofia Kashtanova did not stand aside. She, as an adept of female sexuality, sophistication and beauty, again received rave reviews from followers.

Sofia Kashtanova

The star of the acclaimed comedy series “Policeman from Rublyovka” spent her childhood in Mexico, where she went with her mother in early childhood. After returning to Moscow, she studied at the Moscow Art Theater School and already managed to star in such films as: “Heart of the Wolf”, “Beagle”, “Chasing the Shadow”, “Stunts”, “I Believe It Not”, “The Thaw”, “Resort Romance” ", "Cheerful guys", etc.

She was credited with an affair with Artem Semakin, a Russian actor, but she did not comment on this situation.

The hot, unbridled temperament inherent in Mexicans and instilled in Sofia since childhood slips into her every look and gesture. She is a professional Latin dancer. This type of activity had a positive effect on her sexy feminine curves.

New photos of Sofia Kashtanova in a swimsuit collect tens of thousands of likes and comments. She is called a copy of Monica Bellucci, and after the release of the series “Policeman from Rublevka” and the Russian Julia Roberts.

Sofia is nostalgic for Mexico, which she mentions when she posts photos, so she often vacations there in between filming. After the vacation and the appearance of new photos on Instagram, followers swear their love to her, propose marriage, and call her a goddess.

Kashtanova in a swimsuit does not look vulgar, she does not flaunt her seductive forms, but this even more attracts the inquisitive glances of admirers to the pictures. Sofia prefers active diving holidays with dives rather than drinking cocktails on the shore away from the water.

Sofia Kashtanova in a swimsuit, emerging from the sea, resembles Ondine leaving the depths of the sea. A stunning figure, a sincere snow-white smile, a glowing face, and hair blowing in the wind can drive any man crazy.

Childhood and family

Sophia's parents did not live together much. After the divorce, the girl often stayed with her grandmother, Alla’s mother, while she was on tour. During a tour in Cuba, Sophia's mother met her future second husband. After long correspondence and rare meetings, Alla Kashtanova remarried and moved with her daughter to Mexico, which became the second home for 9-year-old Sophia until her 15th birthday.

In the new country, she learned to communicate fluently in Spanish and English, and became interested in drawing, Latin American dancing, and show jumping. The love for horses helped in various difficult situations. So, when the girl learned about the death of her father in 2002, she became depressed, she was afraid to sleep, and she was plagued by panic attacks. The consolation was a horse named Phobos, my mother’s gift.

Actor career

In 2004, Sofia entered the Moscow Art Theater School-Studio, taking the cinematography course of Roman Kozak and his classmate Dmitry Brusnikin, and on the first try. After receiving her diploma, the girl began to build a career in cinema.

Kashtanova first appeared in a movie (series “Detectives,” season 5, episode “Victim of Fashion,” 2006) while being a second-year student. The girl began to be recognized on the streets after the drama “A Casual Relationship” directed by Olga Stolpovskaya, where Sophia got the role of Marianne, the main character of the film.

By 2017, she had more than 30 films and TV series in her collection. Among them it is worth noting:
“Policeman from Rublyovka” became a lucky ticket for the actress. Her heroine Christina is an elite “butterfly”, but at the same time she is not only beautiful, but also an intelligent, well-read, erudite and interesting girl. According to the plot, Christina falls in love with the character of Alexander Petrov, policeman Grisha.

Personal life of Sofia Kashtanova

In 2009, during the filming of the film “Moon-Moon,” Sofya Kashtanova began a fleeting affair with Artem Semakin, the husband of Maria Mashkova. It was rumored that Maria left her husband after learning about the betrayal. But soon Sophia left Semakin, and since then the details of her personal life have not been “revealed” in the press.

Sophia considers marriage an important milestone in the relationship between two lovers. She dreams of a strong family and at least two children.

Hobbies and interests

At the age of seven she rode a horse for the first time, and subsequently became a master of sports in horse riding.

Her passion for painting led to the fact that in 2013, on the advice and with the direct help of her mother, Sophia organized the first exhibition of her paintings. The exhibition was successful, 21 paintings were sold. Sofia loves to sing, she completed jazz vocal courses, but she herself has no illusions about a career as a singer.

Sofya Kashtanova practices yoga at a professional level and visits mentors in India. My favorite yoga pose is headstand.

As Sofya Kashtanova said in one of her interviews, a woman should radiate happiness. Her desire is to be in a good mood, glow from within and warm those around her with this light.

The girl is rarely seen in beauty salons. She takes care of her appearance on her own. Cosmetic procedures are often done at home. Pays special attention to hair. Masks, balms, rubbing are permanent care procedures. As a cosmetic product, she prefers burdock oil.

He has a simple approach to nutrition and loves vegetables. Healthy eating is the motto when choosing food. A slim figure is maintained by visiting the gym and regular yoga classes.

Sofya Kashtanova now

Is it true that you went to Mexico as a child?

Yes, I left with my mother, who married a Mexican. They had an incredible meeting at the airport before flying to Cuba. It was love at first sight, the Mexican immediately proposed marriage. The stranger wrote letters to her for six months: with declarations of love, stories that his favorite author was Bulgakov, his favorite artist was Van Gogh, and his favorite composer was Tchaikovsky.

And what did Mexico teach you?

Love for people. In this southern country, all people are on good terms. When I, as a little girl, came from there to Russia, the smile never left my face. Often they looked at me like I was a crazy child.

Have you learned how to make tacos?

And what is there to cook it? It's very simple.

Where are you safer - Mexico or Russia?

Mexico City is very dangerous. But we live near the Caribbean, where it’s complete relaxation. As a child, I always walked with a huge shepherd along the beach, and no one came near me. But in Moscow I am also calm.

But you, as an actress, should be able to portray something that is not the most joyful. Can you cry during a quarrel if you understand that arguments are powerless?

In my personal life, I take everything to heart and often cry unproduced. After which I leave for a long time. Just like at work after stressful scenes. I remember we were filming a scene for the film “Moon-Moon” in Crimea. It’s October, the air is cold, and my partner and I have to swim beautifully. However, an aggravating factor arose: the Black Sea was swarming with jellyfish! And in this jellyfish broth we had to kiss! Ordeal.

Have you eaten jellyfish? The Chinese love it.

Since I am not Chinese, the jellyfish, cockroaches and grasshoppers that Mexicans value so much are completely savage.

Since we're talking about kissing, tell me, do directors offer erotic scenes?

When I was fifteen years old and working as a model, I was sent a script. I sat proudly in class, didn’t listen to the teacher and enjoyed the story about a girl with Indian roots who went to India to look for relatives. And suddenly I realize that this is absolute porn! The heroine meets a man, they begin to make love under a waterfall, then the three of them continue, move to a palm tree... But I’m fifteen, I’m innocent, I don’t know anything, I blush, covering the script with my hand. Nothing like this has been reported since then.

Which is strange.

Nothing strange. We don't know how to shoot erotica. I really love films with a serious erotic background: “The Dreamers”, “Temptation”, “Don’t Go”. This is the highest art that excites. But there are no such films in our cinema.

What if Bondarchuk decides to make a sequel to “Nine and a Half Weeks” and invites you?

I doubt. Rather, he will invite his wife. But I will consider this option in detail.

What new films can we see you in detail?

In May, the sequel “Policeman from Rublyovka in Beskudnikovo” will be released on TNT, where I play the prostitute Christina, and the mystical film “Sleepers” on NTV. There I am a rock star who has committed several murders.

Do you think you should be executed for premeditated murder?

There are scum who do not need to live on the same planet with us. A person has no right to take the life of another person.

I killed a fly here today and felt awkward for the first five seconds.

I can't kill a fly, it's stressful for me! Although you and I slightly exaggerate the seriousness of killing a fly, I can only swat a mosquito that drinks my blood.

Unlike mosquitoes, horses do not drink blood. I know you're great in the saddle. Did you fall often?

Repeatedly. I was seriously involved in equestrian sports and participated in competitions. Horses are amazing animals. When my dad died, the horse saved me from difficult experiences. It’s like a treatment by swimming with dolphins - from the same opera.

Are you generally a gentle person?

Oh yeah! Sometimes I feel such tenderness that I want to hug the whole world. Perhaps I became an artist precisely so that I could share this tenderness.

Can people who consider you their dream hope for reciprocity on social networks?

I admit, I don't always respond to private messages. The fact is that I rarely go on Instagram, although this is wrong. I will improve.

I didn’t hear: should I reform or get drunk?

Get better. Although sometimes getting drunk can be very healthy and fun. I remember filming the film “Wolf Sun” in delightful Lviv. In incredible euphoria, leaving the restaurant, my friends and I lay down on the tram rails and stared at the starry sky. And the police were passing by. The same ones who, a few hours ago, took us to the police station for illegally entering a destroyed house. Fortunately, everything worked out fine. It's good that the police were humorous.

Sofya Kashtanova is called the sultry Mexican of Russian cinema, although she is Russian by nationality. And all because half of her life was spent in Mexico, where her mother and stepfather Raimundo Rivera Vazquez now live. At home, the audience recognized and fell in love with the actress after the films “”, “Resort Romance”, “Jolly Guys”, “Kilometer Zero” and “Casual Relationship”.

The girl’s partner left her with unpleasant memories:

“He wasn’t very tactful, he put a lot of pressure on me, he didn’t choose his expressions, his words sounded humiliating.”

The series “” is an unusual project for Russian television. Sophia, together with and in the role of psychologist friends, discuss work issues with their husbands and transfer personal problems to the work plane. In general, a lot of time is devoted to psychology in this project.

The actress said that she herself resorted to professional help in order to bring out hidden fears, speak out, and throw out emotions. If you don’t do this, it will turn out like someone who was ruined by internal passions, Kashtanova is sure.

In June 2017, Sophia posed for the cover of the men's glossy magazine Maxim, on which she appeared with almost bare breasts. Kashtanova also gave an interview to the magazine, in which she talked about life and filming as a prostitute in the comedy “Policeman from Rublyovka.”
