Of course, Livanov did not harbor any hatred for Konchalovsky and does not feel it now. But the relationship that once reigned between them has long since ended. And it’s all the director’s fault.
Vasily Borisovich told about the event that forever changed his opinion about Andron in the study of the program “The Fate of a Man”. In a conversation with Boris Korchevnikov, the artist recalled how one day an interesting idea came to his mind about the script for the film “Andrei Rublev”. Livanov betrayed her in the presence of Konchalovsky, who took notice. “They stole a small one,” said Vasily Borisovich.
“I suffered a lot when it happened behind my back. I starred in Colleagues, they wrote the script after I told them,” the actor shared.
To Konchalovsky’s credit, he had the courage to admit the theft. Moreover, the director even repented before Livanov. True, Andrei Sergeevich’s apology was not very successful.
“He suffered a lot. He was a childhood friend. And then he asked me for forgiveness under Shpalikov Genk. I told him: “I forgive you, but you have lost my trust forever, and without trust there can be no friendship.” That’s all. <…> These things should not be forgotten! If a person has done it once in friendship, then he can do it again. So, I don’t believe in his sincere confessions, ”Livanov said.
By the way, the revenge of Vasily Borisovich has long been known. So, for example, the actor did not want to establish relations with the recently deceased director of the Soviet film series about the adventure of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson Igor Maslennikov. BUT all because of a director’s phrase about the acting skills of Vasily Borisovich.
But Livanov also knew how to make friends firmly and for life. A striking example is the actor’s relationship with Vitaly Solomin, who played Dr. Watson. The death of a comrade in 2002 was a heavy blow for Livanov.
“For me it was a gift of fate. Vitaly is the work of God. We became friends literally from the first hours of our communication. The emotional closeness was great! And our wives became friends, our children and children are still friends … “- said the People’s Artist.
