Toothless shura. Shura: “My new teeth are whiter than the toilet bowl. And you collect big halls
TOOTHLESS
There are at least two people on the post-Soviet scene whose image is simply unthinkable without the physiological characteristics of their jaws. These are their trump cards, what attracts attention to them and is the subject of a lively discussion that has long been boring. This, of course, is about Mikhail Gorshenev (aka Pot) and Shura. No matter how many guys explain the reason for the absence of their front teeth, this does not die the delusion that they deliberately mutilated themselves.
You can understand the audience. Now, when any bright touch to the image of a celebrity raises doubts about its natural origin and is interpreted as a well-thought-out PR move, it is no longer easy to believe in banal household injuries. However, this is exactly what happened to Shura and the vocalist of the Korol i Shut group.
The first in childhood became a victim of the clumsiness of his own brother, who gave the future Shura skittles for his birthday. It seems to be nothing dangerous, but only the brother, presenting a gift, took it and drove it not from evil in the jaw of the birthday man. Since the teeth were no longer milk teeth, they were not going to grow back. Shura resigned himself to this, and as he grew older, he noticed that the “gap” in his jaw gave his singing some kind of pretty lisping piquancy. Therefore, going on stage, he decided to leave everything as it is. It would not be an exaggeration to say that missing teeth became famous earlier than the one who once possessed them. Once, when journalists asked Shura for the 237th time, like the grandmother from Little Red Riding Hood, why he had such teeth, he replied: “As a child, he loved to sleep next to his beloved grandmother. Well, once she farted - two teeth and flew out. Shura is not offended by his brother, as he understands how serious this accident played in his career.
Potty help brothers was useless. In the sixth grade, while relaxing in a pioneer camp, he talked with athletes, physically developed boys. Once Misha argued with them that he would hang on the horizontal bar for five minutes, clinging to it with only his teeth (they say, he also does not bastard). Jumped, pulled up, grabbed. After 2 seconds (according to another version - after 30), the future Pot landed on solid ground without teeth. Since then, according to Gorshenev, he has turned to the services of dentists more than once or twice, but they have tried in vain to restore his former beauty by building up his teeth. This does not sadden Mikhail, since the inserted full-fledged prostheses can overshadow the fangs with their brilliance, which, according to Gorshok himself, should attract attention in the first place.

Shura is a shocking singer who attracted the attention of the whole country with his performances and appearance, non-trivial actions and rumors about their non-traditional orientation. Shura did not get tired of shocking the audience, which earned him both the love of one part of it and the disapproval and ridicule of the other.
Childhood and youth
The future singer Alexander Vladimirovich Medvedev, better known under the pseudonym Shura, was born on May 20, 1975 in Novosibirsk. The boy grew up with his mother Svetlana, younger brother Mikhail and grandmother Vera Mikhailovna, who, according to the artist, was of gypsy blood.
The boy was always sure that his brother was loved more, and over time he found many confirmations of this. For example, the musician said that at the age of 9 he ended up in an orphanage, from where his grandmother took him. And the fact that his father was actually not his own, but his stepfather, the young man found out only when he received a passport, where his mother asked him to write down a completely different patronymic.
As it turned out, his own father, Vladimir Shapkin, lived not far from the Medvedevs' house, but did not take the initiative to get to know and communicate with his son. Svetlana started dating 20-year-old Vladimir, who had just returned from the army, when she was only 17 years old. The girl became pregnant, but the young man did not consider it necessary to marry her, but on the contrary, he moved away. After a while, Nikolai Dudchenko became Svetlana's husband, from whom the second son was born. But this family did not last long.
Having become popular, Shura always tried to financially support his mother, even if, due to conflicts, he had to transfer money not directly, but through his brother or daughter-in-law.
Shura has no musical education. And schooling ended for him already in the 7th grade. The boy was expelled with a certificate of incomplete secondary education.
He began his singing career early, at the age of 13. Sasha's first scene was the Novosibirsk restaurant "Rus", where his grandmother worked. The unusual performer was immediately nicknamed the Yellow Suitcase. Apparently, this was due to the outrageous appearance of the guy: he went out to perform in a black fringed sweater, patent leather shoes on a high platform and a black coat to the toes.
According to the artist himself, his grandmother instilled in him a craving for extravagance. Vera Mikhailovna worked as a cook and had a very indirect relationship with art: she sang romances in front of a mirror, dressed in unthinkable outfits. The grandmother also taught her grandson macrame and embroidery. At one time, in addition to music, Shura taught needlework courses in his native Novosibirsk, which were attended by women of all ages. This occupation prompted the future artist to get the profession of a florist designer.
Shura graduated from design courses in Riga and immediately came to Moscow with an ambitious intention to conquer the capital.
Music
Shura's capital debut took place in the Manhattan Express club. The bet on shocking was correct, and the singer woke up famous. Another important event for the young singer took place in the same club. There Alexander met the stylist and fashion designer Alisher. Since then, Alisher has been sewing stage costumes for Sasha, consulting during shopping trips.
The pop singer's fame peaked at the end of the 90s. The artist gained rapid growth in popularity thanks to the outrageous manner of performance and appearance: Shura was without teeth and was in no hurry to insert them. According to the artist, in childhood they were knocked out by his younger brother Mikhail during a fight.
Shura's most famous songs are "Summer Rains Noise" and "Do Good". The popularity of the songs was so great that clips immediately appeared on them. The hits of the outrageous artist have become the objects of numerous parodies. But for many, Shura's songs of those years are associated with the period of growing up, therefore they are relevant today.
Shura recorded the first two albums in collaboration with composer Pavel Yesenin, who also acted as a backing vocalist. In 1997, the first album called "Shura" appeared in the musician's discography. And in 1998, the album "Shura-2" was released as a continuation.
Shura - "Do good"Medvedev has many musical awards. For the songs "You do not believe in tears" and "Do good" the singer received the "Golden Gramophone". In "Song of the Year" Shura sang "You do not believe in tears" and "Summer rains have died down." The songs "Artist", "Winter Winter" and "Heaven for Us" received awards.
The style introduced by Shura to the Russian stage was given the name "Eurodance" by critics.
Shura - "Do not believe in tears"After the rise in popularity, the showman suddenly disappeared. Shura's creative biography was interrupted for a long time. As it turned out, he was seriously ill. Evil tongues started talking about the singer's drug addiction and alcoholism. Medvedev confirmed drug addiction, calling it the main cause of the disease - cancer. But Alexander managed to defeat a terrible illness, although it took a long time for this: the cancer was discovered in an advanced form.
Treatment began in a military hospital in Moscow. Shura underwent a complex operation, but this was only the first stage on the path to healing. Next was chemotherapy, which was carried out simultaneously with treatment for drug addiction.
Shura on Cancer HealingA mother from Novosibirsk even flew to the singer to help arrange him in a clinic. Friends supported the artist, helped him in word and deed: a large amount of money was needed for treatment and rehabilitation. Shura continued his course of treatment in one of the Swiss medical centers.
The disease receded, thanks to the support of his inner circle, Shura recovered, requisitions and cancer, and cravings for drugs. But a new problem arose: the musician recovered in every sense of the word, the exhausted body reacted to the treatment in an unexpected way - extra pounds appeared. With a height of 175 cm, the weight of the artist reached 140 kg.
However, the guy managed to overcome this obstacle. Several courses of liposuction helped to get rid of body fat. The updated singer reappeared on television and began touring. The shocking diminished, but the story of a terrible illness and miraculous healing became calling card returning to the stage of the artist, causing a new surge of interest in his person.
Returning to the stage in the late 2000s in an updated image, Shura became a guest on popular shows. At the "Musical Ring" he became his rival.
Musical ring NTV - Shura VS Boris MoiseevIn 2007, the artist appeared in the program "You are a Superstar!" on NTV. The new image allowed the artist to reach the final, where Shura lost first place to the singer. The number that impressed the audience was the song "Let's Pray for Parents". Shura sang this hit in a duet with. By this time, the artist already had a full-fledged smile, which cost the singer 8 million rubles.
Shura and Soso Pavliashvili - "Let's pray for parents"In 2015, Shura celebrated the 20th anniversary of his creative activity. In the same year, the singer appeared in the popular show of reincarnations "One to One!" on the TV channel "Russia-1". A year later, the artist began a big tour " New life. A new image ”, in which he presented the songs“ Penguins ”,“ Our Summer ”.
Personal life
There were always a lot of rumors around the singer about his orientation. Outrageous image and provocative statements of the musician long time supported the interest of the press in this topic. Also, the media sometimes flashed messages about Shura's novels with the soloist of the group "Guests from the Future" and with the singer, but the artist himself called them a "duck".
In the end, despite the initial statements about homosexuality, which Shura eventually called part of his image, in May 2010 the singer introduced his bride Lisa. The couple met at the Opera club, where Lisa worked as a promoter.
On his 35th birthday, the singer, having appeared in the Paradise club in the capital with his chosen one, announced his relationship with Lisa and presented his beloved with a Mercedes. Friends and colleagues of the artist warmly accepted the girl into their company. Judging by joint photo, lovers have similar facial features. In 2014, Lisa starred in the video of her beloved "Heart Beats".
In 2011, information appeared in the media that Shura had two children growing up in Kislovodsk. The artist himself categorically denied this information, which the alleged ex-lover of the singer shared with the press. To find out the truth, the singer went to the studio of the program "Let them talk." Seeing the children, many were surprised at how they looked like an artist. But the DNA test determined that Shura was telling the truth.
According to the performer, Shura's personal life was deliberately and for a long time hidden from prying eyes, and the relationship with her beloved Lisa had lasted for a long time. Shura continues to hide the romantic relationship from the press. Now the public does not know any details from the personal life of the singer and his common-law wife. In 2017, there were rumors that Shura plans to acquire heirs.
The musician talks about the other part of his personal life a little more willingly. Shura does not hide the fact that he has a protracted conflict with his mother. In 2013, the case even went to trial. Mother and brother tried to write the musician out of the apartment, in which the artist was registered by his grandmother. Shura did not back down and entered into a lawsuit. The famous musician does not need a “odnushka” in Novosibirsk at all, he explains these actions by two reasons.
Firstly, he considers such an act of relatives a betrayal, because no one even tried to negotiate with the musician in a good way, on the contrary, the mother cut off all contacts. Secondly, a man worries about his mother. According to him, she had a new gentleman, who was suspiciously zealously interested in the material condition of his chosen one. Shura suspects the man of bad intentions and does not want his mother to end up on the street. The singer was supported by colleagues, saying that, despite the unpleasant situation, the musician would never harm relatives.
In 2016, shortly before his birthday, the singer tried to make peace with his mother. Nobody opened the door to the musician, so he began to wait for the woman on the bench at the entrance, but when Shura's mother nevertheless went out into the street, she walked past her son, as if she did not recognize him. The singer shared this story with viewers on the show "Let them talk" in honor of his birthday. But judging by "Instagram" singer, soon the relatives managed to reconcile.
Shura now
2018 has not started well for the artist. Shura has recently experienced problems with hip joint so I decided to have surgery to replace it. For this, the singer went to Kurgan to the Russian Scientific Center "Restorative Traumatology and Orthopedics" named after Academician G. A. Ilizarov. The planned operation was successful, and as a token of gratitude, after a period of rehabilitation, Shura organized a solo concert for the residents of Kurgan.
Shura at the Secret for a Million projectIn May, with the participation of Alexander Medvedev, the TV show "Secret for a Million" with a TV presenter was released on the NTV channel. On the program, the artist frankly spoke about the problems that remained far in the past, and about the desire to become a father. For the sake of this dream, before the transfer, the artist passed necessary tests, and on the air of the TV show he met a surrogate mother who is ready to bear even twins for the artist. For the sake of future heirs, Shura plans to purchase a country house.
In July, the singer became a guest of the popular evening show "Hi, Andrei!", The release of which was dedicated to the stars of the 90s.
Shura at the project "Hi, Andrey!"Shura does not forget about creating new hits. In 2017, the artist gave fans a new single "Girlfriend". In the summer of 2018, the artist announced on his Instagram profile the release of the song “Important Something”, which caused a storm of positive emotions among his subscribers. Also in the summer, Shura's solo concert took place at the GLAVCLUB GREEN CONCERT.
Recently, Shura faced a problem due to which he actually became a homeless person. Back in the early 2000s, the artist bought an apartment in Moscow for 45 million rubles, which he later transferred to another person under the influence of drugs. Now the apartment has new owners who demanded that the artist move out of the occupied meters. At first, Shura was in a depressed mood, but then he decided to fight for real estate. Several court hearings have already taken place.

Alexander Medvedev, popular Russian performer, also known as "saber-toothed Shura", last years smiles at his fans with a full mouth. But popularity came to him largely due to a toothless smile. The singer was not shy about expressing his emotions, the lack of front teeth did not bother him at all, on the contrary, Shura was glad to shock. The kids loved him to adoration. Perhaps because of the aesthetic similarity. But the new image also appealed to many. Alexander Medvedev himself told the most aesthetically attractive portal about dentistry how the dental theme made the image of Shura popular.
I chose the very first one from the palette - perfectly white, whiter than the toilet
Corr.: Sasha, can I call you that? Your new teeth are whiter than white! This is not an advertisement, but a question. Have you decided to dazzle everyone with your white-toothed smile?You like? Tell me, do you like it? Of the entire palette of colors, I chose the very first one - perfectly white, whiter than the toilet bowl. Usually, experts do not recommend putting such teeth, because against their background the white of the eye acquires a yellowish tint. But the temptation was too great for me to give up my decision. Instead, I bought whitening eye drops, a little painful, but what an effect! Rate it!
Corr.: And all for the love of the audience? There are already legends, anecdotes and nice little jokes about your teeth.
Come on, tell me!
Corr.: About the fact that you take teeth from hockey players?
(laughs) Is this Ovechkin's? Corr.: Now he walks toothless. I don't see anything funny, by the way. Some kind of madness! But Ovechkin at least suffered in sports battles.
I am a victim too healthy lifestyle life. My brother gave me a skittle as a child (don't you know?) and was so inspired by this that he accidentally knocked out my tooth with this skittle. But I never held a grudge against him. Thanks to this random absurdity, I acquired the original timbre of voice and lisp, which later became my calling card.
Corr.: Then why did you seek help from a dentist? So they would live - do not grieve. You wouldn't have to spend!
Teeth were really expensive. But I really wanted to eat: not mashed soups and cereals, but a piece of meat - normal hard food. To deny yourself nothing. Due to weight dystrophy, I was not taken into the army: then I weighed only 44 kilograms. Hand on heart, I confess: I didn’t really want to join the army. I was afraid of dentists like fire, but when my teeth began to move apart, I had to say to myself: "We must, Sasha, we must ...". Offers from dental clinics rained down. I even considered the American option: to go to the States and get teeth done there. But the Yankees asked for an amount that was easier to refuse: $15,000 for thirty-two perfect teeth.
Corr.: In the end, which clinic did you choose?
Elite clinic on Leninsky Prospekt. I am very afraid of toothache, so I wanted to entrust my jaw to proven doctors.
I have a souvenir: my first teeth, temporary, reminiscent of that glorious time. I keep them in a jar. Note: in a jar, not on a shelf! At night, I then put them in a mug, and put them on in the morning. It was very uncomfortable, especially during performances. As soon as you sing, you will go to nirvana, as your teeth flew away in an unknown direction. I had to ask the audience to return.
Corr.: As I understand it, they always returned. Although they could keep it for themselves ... as a souvenir.
They could, but they didn't.
My reflection in the mirror now I like it better
Corr.: Your savings on teeth once, as I understand it, cost you dearly. What did you gain as a result of implantation, besides impressive bills from the clinic for the service rendered?Invaluable experience! Take care of your teeth from a young age.
Corr.: Well, in your case, this experience is already useless, unfortunately.
Chinese wisdom says that a person without a smile should not open a shop. I always smiled at my beloved viewers - before and after implantation. But I must admit that I like my reflection in the mirror more now.
Corr.: Do you have any recipes for a beautiful smile?
Smile from the heart! And for those who have decided on implantation, a small recommendation from Shura. To make the procedure less painful, rinse your mouth for a week after eating with the following decoction: 2 teaspoons of oak bark, mix 1 teaspoon of lime blossom. Brew one teaspoon of this collection with a glass of boiling water and let it brew for 3 minutes. Use on health!
A Hollywood smile is the dream of many men and women. However, there are those who not only neglect its canons, but also completely refuse to insert one or two extracted teeth, or even half of the jaw.
And this not only does not harm them in their professional activities, where a seemingly perfect appearance is the key to success, but also helps them to take the top positions of the Hollywood Olympus and stay on it.
Nicolas Cage
Nicholas is famous for the fact that for the sake of the role he is ready to do almost everything and even more. It did not disgust him at one time to part with a couple of teeth in order to look most appropriate in a film about World War II. Moreover, the script meant such scenes. So the doctor pulled out two of his teeth right during the filming, without anesthesia.
However, the actor does not require too much sympathy: they were milk teeth, which the nineteen-year-old Cage did not want to fall out. Subsequently, this event helped the actor finally pay a visit to the orthodontist, where he still could not get together. The film-culprit is "Bird", 1984.
Shia LaBeouf
Another film about the war - "Fury", 2014 - and an actor who is even ready to kill his colleagues, if only the role turned out to be reliable. Shia LaBeouf got Brad Pitt himself by not bathing during filming (just imagine the smell, because they were filmed in a cramped tank!), got an authentic tattoo and removed (or, as many say, just sawed off to the ground) a completely healthy tooth.
In general, this is not the first and not even the most shocking trick of the actor and lover of hard performances.
Ed Helms
Ed Helms was much more fortunate than his colleagues, because he did not need to remove healthy teeth for his role in the film "The Hangover", 2009.
He only needed to remove the crown from the implant, because the tooth had long been knocked out under circumstances very similar to those described in the film. At the age of fifteen, having pumped up alcohol to unconsciousness, Helms tore out his healthy tooth. The script of the film, apparently, very vital, helped to remember that incident.
