At the time, he was studying at School No. 2 in Saratov (a city in southwestern Russia) and had no idea he would achieve nationwide fame. Matveyev, incidentally, enrolled in a theater university on the recommendation of a drama teacher. It is hard to believe, but before that he wanted to become a surgeon.
«In around ninth grade I seriously began preparing for it, I wanted to be nothing but a surgeon, I already pictured myself healing with a scalpel. I liked biology and chemistry, I even started taking extra courses in those subjects. But then at some point, I do not even remember why, it all fizzled out. I intuitively understood that this was not the path I should take», the actor shared.
Incidentally, in the star«s memories Saratov remained a rebellious city. In his youth the actor wore long hair, leather jackets and Cossack-style boots and, according to him, people there did not like that sort of thing.
