Alexander Shpak - biography, photo, personal life, news, Instagram 2022

The hero of the article is a well-known character on the Internet. Over the past couple of years, he has become more popular thanks to periodic appearances on television in various talk shows. The increased attention to him is explained primarily by his specific appearance, acquired through tattoos and numerous plastic surgeries. After all the changes Alexander Shpak made in the before and after photographs, it is almost impossible to find common features.

Childhood, education, beginning of working life

Alexander Shpak was born on April 1, 1979 in the city on the Neva.
The child was born into an ordinary St. Petersburg family: mother is a teacher, father is a military man. The boy's upbringing was mainly done by his mother and grandmother. Outwardly, since childhood, Sasha was an ordinary boy, but he no longer thought like his peers. The family often changed their place of residence. They lived both beyond the Arctic Circle and in Kamchatka. Sasha was sent to school at the age of five, and at 15 he was already an applicant. The guy received two higher educations - a financial manager and a securities specialist. However, the guy did not work in his specialty because of the low salary. Having got a job as a security guard, Shpak earned twice as much as an accountant; he was paid even better in personal security, but then the man went into sports.

Alexander's father instilled an interest in physical activity. He encouraged the guy to run, do push-ups, and do pull-ups from early childhood. Sasha achieved success in the gym at the age of 12.

Creation

Life began to change rapidly at the age of 15 - after meeting the American “Jackass” movement (translated as “morons”, “eccentrics”).
This trend began with a series of films about guys who performed dangerous but funny stunts on camera. Each television commercial was provided with warning captions, but this did not stop the overseas teenagers. One after another, they began to repeat the tricks shown, posting videos on the Internet.

Sasha came up with a pseudonym and also joined the movement. Over time, two like-minded people from their hometown joined, and the Panika team was formed under the leadership of Shapik. Sasha and the guys under the fictitious names Faust and Dee Dee quickly gained fame - the teenagers either set themselves on fire or rolled naked on the toilet.

Cassettes with the recording passed through the hands of young people, until finally someone posted the video on the Internet. The audience was divided into two camps - fans and those who frankly did not understand the jokes of the eccentric team of boys. However, some of the tricks and pranks really went beyond the harmless. The guys ran bare-bottomed through the streets, jumped from a high bridge into the river and even overturned the stalls of dry toilets.

The company often ended up in the police station. Sasha’s parents also had a hard time: piles of stones fell on the house, acquaintances came up on the streets and accused him of poor upbringing of the child, and once they even sprayed his father in the face with a gas canister. Having become closely acquainted with provincial hypocrisy, Sasha decides to move to the capital of Ukraine in the hope that his unusual personality will be accepted there.

“Panic” went to Kyiv in full force. The main city of Ukraine really turned out to be more loyal - the guys were received kindly. Soon the young men turned into capital stars. Journalists invited for interviews, producers of TV shows on central channels lured me to go on air.

Blogger Sasha Shapik

In 2011, Sasha Shapik opened the first channel on YouTube. The young man began to master new formats: on the blog he commented on videos received from subscribers, and reviewed videos from the Internet. And then he went into the lifestyle genre, sharing events and moments from everyday life with viewers.

From time to time he continued to shock the people of Kiev with his antics. For example, he jumped from a rushing train into the Dnieper or kissed grandmothers passing along the street. Having thoroughly amused the residents of the capital, Shapik decided to leave for Sevastopol. Upon arrival, I shot a video “City of Dreams”, which quickly gained hundreds of views.

Bloggers Andrei Martynenko and Pasha Bumchik, as well as the young man’s parents, often appear in Shapik’s videos. So, together with his father and mother, Sasha taught how to build a water park at the dacha using improvised materials.

Shapik has repeatedly become the hero of television programs. Appeared on the show “Lie Detector” and “Battle of Psychics”. After my first marriage, I reduced my activity level for a while and even closed my blog. But, having separated from his wife, he returned to the Internet and show business.

The popular Ukrainian project “Heroes and Lovers” helped to gain momentum again. Sasha was one of the contenders for the hand and heart of the main character. The guy’s outrageous behavior on the show again gathered a considerable army of subscribers on YouTube. He consolidated his success with a touching decision: he left the program “Heroes and Lovers”, explaining that he was going to resume his relationship with his wife. Thanks to this, the number of female fans grew, girls began to actively take an interest in the biography of the young man.

Coach and lawbreaker

Alexander Shpak connected his life with sports. Having started training himself early, he now develops training programs and a diet for those who want to get their body in shape. The young man also has his own sporting goods store. There is an unpleasant story connected with this fact. Shpak was found to have anabolic steroids, the distribution of which is prohibited in our country. The arrest was made in the trainer's apartment, where he stored steroids, saving money in the warehouse. He faced a real long sentence, up to 8.5 years. In fact, Alexander was sentenced to 3 years of suspended imprisonment.

Career and popularity

Since 2002, Alexander began to actively engage in bodybuilding and coaching. The athlete helped people get their bodies in shape, developed personal training and nutrition programs, and also opened his own sports nutrition store. True, the business of selling dietary supplements ended with a criminal record for Shpak. In 2012, anabolic steroids, prohibited for distribution, were found in Alexander’s store, among other assortment of goods. In addition to the scandal that broke out, the court chose a sentence for Shpak in the form of three years of probation.

At the age of 25, Alexander decided that he did not want to be like everyone else, and found an unusual way to show the world his originality. From that moment on, large-scale modifications to the body of the future Instagram star began. At first, one tattoo appeared, however, it occupied 70% of the bodybuilder’s body. Alexander said that it took more than 150 sessions and 22 thousand hours of work by a tattoo artist to create it, and the cost of all the drawings was almost 5 million rubles. But the young man did not stop at the tattoos and continued to move towards his goal - to change his appearance beyond recognition. According to Shpak, he wanted to ensure that the people around him first of all valued his inner world, and not his appearance. Then followed a series of plastic surgeries: he grew fangs, changed the shape of his face, did permanent eye makeup, and installed implants in the chest and buttocks. In total, the man underwent approximately 15 plastic surgeries.

The modification of appearance caused an unplanned but natural effect - Alexander Shpak’s appearance began to be discussed on the Internet and he was invited as a hero in television programs.

Popularity

Alexander Shpak first attracted the attention of the network in the summer of 2007. His photos from his vacation on the lake were published on LiveJournal. Users began to discuss the man’s unusual appearance, which was combined with a brutal build, thongs, a headband on his hair, a tattoo on his entire back, makeup and long nails.

The Russian Internet community in 2007 was largely intolerant, and Alexander Shpak's extravagant appearance was discussed in an offensive manner. Famous bloggers also did this, which soon made Shpak popular.

But everything became boring, and soon they stopped harping on the appearance of the hero of our publication. But in 2010, the reason appeared again. Sasha posted a photo from his wedding. Having felt the taste of fame, Alexander began to support it in every way. He is creating a YouTube channel.

Social network

Sasha Shpak has been actively involved in her own Internet promotion since 2015. He registers a YouTube channel, VK account and Instagram profile. The last platform brings him the greatest popularity, there are over 2 million subscribers. The YouTube channel is developing worse.

Posts on Alexander’s social networks are news from his life, personal training and advice to those training, discussions on various topics.

He often appears here with his soulmate, his sixth wife, singer, presenter, and model Irina, whom Sasha himself calls Masya. Cooking videos of the Shpak family are especially popular with subscribers.

Movies

Vera’s desire to stay in Moscow and join the troupe of Konstantin Raikin’s Satyricon Theater remained just a wish. The aspiring actress returned to St. Petersburg and came to the head of the Alexandrinsky Theater Valery Fokin. After meeting, Valery Vladimirovich immediately accepted the Belarusian artist into his theater. The creative biography of Vera Shpak began on this stage.

Vera Shpak in the theater

From 2013 to 2014, she played in several performances, but then decided to return to the capital. Sergei Bezrukov accepted her into his troupe. From 2014 to the present day, Shpak has been an artist of the Moscow Provincial Bezrukov Theater. Sergei Vitalievich, unlike directors of other capital theaters, looks rather favorably on the filming of “his” actors in films. Moreover, he even recommends artists to directors he knows. Therefore, Vera Shpak’s creative baggage, despite the late start of work on the set, already includes several roles in various full-length films and TV series.

The actress made her screen debut in 2011 in episodic roles. The first full-length film in which she appeared was the film “Team 8.” This is a war drama by Alexander Aravin, in which Vera played the heroine Lyalya.

Then there was the musical melodrama “Courage” by Alexander Stefanovich, based on his novel. The film tells about the period of Stefanovich's life when he was married to Alla Pugacheva. Vera Shpak got the image of a heroine named Lilya.

The actress also has several serial roles in her repertoire. Vera starred in the melodramas “Teachers”, “Alien Nest” and others.

Vera often appears on screens in the role of fragile but strong women. This is facilitated by the actress’s open face and graceful parameters (with a height of 173 cm, the artist’s weight is only 50 kg, according to Internet sources).

In 2015, an 8-episode film by Mikhail Khleborodov “Temporarily Unavailable” was released on Russian screens, the script for which was written by Andrei Kivinov, known for the film “High Security Vacation.” This is a modern comedy, the plot is somewhat reminiscent of Nikolai Gogol’s “The Inspector General”, about a Moscow official Vyacheslav Zolotov, who switched places with the investigator of the investigative department Anton Pletnev. The characters are played by Sergei Bezrukov and Dmitry Dyuzhev. Vera Shpak appeared in the comedy in the role of journalist Nastya Zhuravleva.

Vera Shpak in the film “I will repay”

Then the actress appeared in the leading role of teacher Ksenia in the action-packed drama “I Will Repay.” The film covers the topical issue of impunity for businessmen and high-ranking officials. A teacher whose wife was killed by the mayor's son begins to personally fight for justice.

In October of this year, the actress played the role of the suspect’s bride in the melodramatic detective story “Uncut Pages,” a film adaptation of Tatyana Ustinova’s novel of the same name.

In December 2015, the actress played the main role of private investigator Eva Sokolovskaya in the crime melodrama “The Spaniard.” The mini-series tells the story of a former orphanage Sasha, who was adopted by a Spanish family. A young man who grew up abroad returns to Russia to find his childhood friend. To do this, Alejandro hires a private investigator.

In the same year, Vera Shpak appeared in another season premiere - the series “Plague”. This is a picture about the generation of the 90s, about the break of eras, when millions of people lost their life guidelines, when the law of money dictated the actions of many citizens who had gone astray. Including girls who prefer the only “dignity” in men – cash. Vera Shpak played the heroine Katya, the daughter of an influential official.

A television

In 2016, Sasha Shpak is on TV a lot. He appeared on the show “We Talk and Show,” where he became a guest on a program about beauty. On air, Alexander told how he got his tattoo after removing moles all over his body. In three years (150 sessions) he covered 70% of his body with tattoos, and later all 90%. In total, it took 22 thousand hours to apply the existing images. The showman also denied speculation that he had his testicles removed. According to his assurances, our hero’s men’s health is fine.

Shpak visited the filming of the program “Let Them Talk,” “Comedy Club” and the project “What Happened Next.” In 2022, Sasha and Masya took part in the “Male and Female” program, dedicated to people who are interested in tattoos.

Shpak removed the reproductive organ

Fans were shocked by the news that the showman had lost his manhood. Such guesses appeared after provocative photos of a bodybuilder in a bikini, in which protruding genitals are not really visible. Did he really cut them off and become completely disfigured?

Not only curious subscribers and fans were interested, but also professional bodybuilders. Alexander told the truth in one of the provocative blogs.

Appearance makeover

Alexandra Shpak wanted changes in appearance. The first step was to paint his eyes.

— I really remember the image of Jack Sparrow, when he proudly stood on the mast of a sinking ship and looked into the distance. Remember: just a few centuries ago, men wore leggings, walked in high heels, sprayed themselves with sweet perfume, and put on eyeliner. My face seemed featureless to me - by nature I have whitish, although “Brezhnev” eyebrows, almost invisible eyelashes. This was the first thing I decided to fix,” Sasha shared in an interview.

Then the face, body and even teeth were adjusted. Comparing photos of Shpak before and after the operation, we see that from a stately and handsome young man, he became brighter, but less brutal. According to the bodybuilder himself, he began to change his body in order to immediately weed out people who pay attention only to appearance. The blogger has had at least 15 operations, including liposuction, frontoplasty, he inserted buttock and breast implants, but then got rid of them. The man also increased his fangs and got a tattoo.

Why did Shpak contact the police?

In September 2022, Alexander Shpak turned to law enforcement agencies asking for help. The fact is that haters turned on the outrageous blogger, and he began to seriously fear for his health and life. Soon after the couple moved to the capital, the Instagram account was flooded with numerous comments with threats against Shpak himself and his wife. The number of such messages and their content made the couple quite worried and prompted them to take action.

It is unknown how this story ended. Indeed, in most cases, Internet aggressors attack, feeling their impunity. Meanwhile, threats to life and health online are subject to legislation, and punishment is provided for them, including the initiation of a criminal case and arrest. In any case, Alexander did not touch upon this topic again, which most likely means that the issue is closed.

Any bright, ambiguous person causes a flurry of emotions, both positive and negative. This 100 percent applies to the outrageous bodybuilder. One thing is clear, looking at the before and after photographs of Alexander Shpak, no one will remain indifferent to him.

Personal life

A bodybuilder with an original appearance is popular with women. By the age of 40, the blogger had been officially married six times. Sasha Shpak walked down the aisle for the first time in 2010. Alexander admits that he is a romantic person and may cry at the end of the film. He often thought up the image of his chosen ones.

Now his wife is a model and blogger Irina Meshchanskaya. Alexander confessed his love to his chosen one many times on social networks; he believes that he and Irina found a reflection of themselves in each other. The couple is not yet thinking about procreation. They just feel good together.

As we already mentioned, Sasha calls his wife Masya. Together they promote Instagram accounts, travel, train, and cook.

It looks like Sasha Shpak has found his destiny. The couple's wedding took place in 2015, and the young couple are still together. Alexander looked shocking at the ceremony, Irina looked traditional. There were only two witnesses. Then the couple got married (Irina is a believer). and in the evening Sasha and Masya drove off to the ocean coast.

How many dogs do Shpak and Masya have?

At the beginning of their family life, Irina and Alexander stated that they loved dogs very much and would like to have an English bulldog and a Chihuahua. But what initially stopped them was the fact that they lived in a rented apartment. After the couple moved into a luxurious cottage, they immediately fulfilled their dream - Alexander took the baby Chihuahua Jason, and Masya took the English bulldog Richard. Soon the French bulldog Marcus joined the canine family.

But this number of dogs seemed not enough for the couple. And just recently, after moving to Turkey, Irina and Sasha acquired two Chihuahua babies.

The question of the dogs of the Shpak-Meshchansky family has been worrying their subscribers for a long time. Some people admire cute videos and photos of a dog family, while others, on the contrary, write angry messages about how you can keep so many dogs of different breeds together, while rarely being close to them.

Alexander Shpak now

The creativity of Sasha and Masya went beyond the network. The couple organizes fitness marathons, meets with subscribers, and holds various events.

Shpak lives in St. Petersburg, but visits Moscow and Kyiv. He continues to conduct training and appears on the Internet and on television. Alexander himself tries to regularly train for an average of an hour and a half, walk 8 km, and get a massage.

Sasha and Masya Shpak bought a house

They have been married for 4 years and recently moved to a new property. Shpak has already conducted a video tour of the two-story mansion, where a terrible tragedy previously occurred.

It turns out that the family of an official previously lived here and was attacked by bandits. The attackers broke into the house, tied up, robbed, and then shot the owners. Afterwards, no one lived in this mansion, even the furniture remained. Singer Sarah Ochs spoke about this in an interview.

Masya said that she was completely satisfied with the previous interior design, and the blogger does not plan to radically change anything. Most of the mansion is already furnished.
