Roman leading good morning. Roman Budnikov: “Now I’m single again

Roman Budnikov is a TV presenter who became known throughout the country through the Fazenda program, which has been on Channel One for a long time. Roman is also known as an excellent musician, as he not only plays the guitar superbly, but also composes songs himself.

Biography

Roman Budnikov was born in the Saratov region in the city of Engels on June 14, 1973. He spent all his childhood in his native city. His childhood years were the same as those of other boys. Roman loved to play in the yard with his boy friends, attended school, where he received not only good grades.

Passion for music

At the age of sixteen, everything in Roman's life changed dramatically, since at that time he became interested in music, and he especially liked playing the guitar. This further determined the goals in life, and also limited the social circle, since friends were now mostly musical.

Roman Budnikov immediately entered a music school, but studying there turned out to be so interesting that he mastered the entire long-term program in just two years and passed the exams externally, surprising his teachers with his talent and skill. Soon he becomes a member of the popular music rock band Noah's Ark. But he did not stay long as a guitarist in this group either, since he really wanted to conquer the capital.

Creative career in Moscow

After arriving in the capital, the life of a young musician changed dramatically again. Roman Budnikov was going to Moscow, thinking that he would study music, and he was suddenly offered to work on television. A friend offered to star in the program, and Roman was noticed on the set, and soon he was already working as a host on the Stolitsa television channel.

The first television program hosted by the young presenter was “Everyday Life of the Capital”, and after that, offers began to come from other television channels. Roman Budnikov, whose biography is full of events, worked on such channels as RET-TV, Trust, VKT, Channel One.

TV liked Roman. Yes, and he himself behaved actively, which the management of the television channels really liked. The young presenter himself came up with the programs and headings that he wanted to lead. This is how the Gosloto lottery appeared. 5 out of 36”, which turned out to be of interest to the viewer and which for a long time was the main lottery in the country.

Transfer "Fazenda"

Roman Budnikov always aspired to work on Channel One. Trying to understand what program he could introduce, he found out for himself that the famous program "Fazenda", which at that time was hosted by Sergei Kolesnikov, was interesting to him. And already in 2012, he really becomes the host of the program, where he talks about the repair of country houses. He quickly earned the sympathy and recognition of viewers.

And the program received a wonderful presenter who talked about what he himself experienced. It is known that before filming this TV show, he was able to build himself a dacha in the suburbs. Therefore, he tells the television viewer about those things that he is perfectly able to do himself: paint, mix cement mortar, do welding, make a roof, understand how to conduct electricity and plumbing to the house.

Roman himself believes that he received all these skills, practice and, most importantly, experience in construction thanks to his grandfather. His grandfather, Ivan Antonovich Tenigin, was an engineer, inventor and designer, so he worked a lot and often with his grandson, teaching him how to design and how and what to make to be practical and beautiful.

Good morning program

There were many rumors about how Roman Budnikov ended up in the well-known Good Morning program, which is broadcast live every day.

It all started with the fact that the already well-known presenter Boris Shcherbakov, who hosted Good Morning for several years, was unexpectedly fired, and there was not even any explanation. But then a new presenter appeared in the most popular program of Channel One, which turned out to be Roman Budnikov.

Immediately after that, rumors followed that he did not just end up on this program, but he was someone's relative. But only no one could understand who is still promoting the young and promising presenter. These rumors were fueled by the fact that there was already a similar situation with the Fazenda program, which was hosted by the excellent television presenter Sergei Kolesnikov before him. It is known that Kolesnikov was also unexpectedly fired, and after that Roman Budnikov began to broadcast.

But Roman himself refutes all these rumors in every interview, and he explains everything that happens to him only by the fact that he knows how to work and always does his job perfectly. By the way, he perfectly combines his busy television schedule with the performances of the Nebudni group, which is his hobby.

Roman Budnikov: personal life and biography

Even at the time when Roman was a musician, at one of the performances of the group he was a member of, he met Galina. She became his first wife. Young people entered into their marriage in 1999, and after that the future famous presenter and his young wife moved to the capital. Galina was also into music, so they worked together.

The spouses also had to perform in restaurants, but there was still no success. There was even a time when the couple thought about leaving Russia, hoping that in Israel their creative career would develop more successfully.

In this union, the daughter of Alexander was born, with whom the famous TV presenter tries to see every weekend. She followed in the footsteps of her parents and is now very passionate about music. Playing the flute, she has already won several prizes in various music competitions. Roman always tries to help his daughter and is proud of her achievements.

There was a second marriage in the life of the famous TV presenter of the Fazenda program, but it also turned out to be unsuccessful. He has no children in this marriage. And today, Roman Budnikov declares himself as a bachelor, who is again ready for a new relationship.

The TV presenter told how to become a member of a popular program. And not only about this

Roman Budnikov is a positive and charming host of the Fazenda Channel One program. Moreover, he is sure that a cheerful disposition can change fate for the better. Roman many years ago came to conquer Moscow, and thanks to his character he took the capital from the first attack. And now he has the time and opportunity to do what is especially close to him. Do you think he's digging in the garden? But no! In his free time from filming, Roman leads the musical group "NEbudni". And this is a real holiday for him!

From "Green Cucumber" to "Fazenda"
- Roman, please tell us how you got into the Fazenda program - after all, its subject matter is very specific?
- Everything turned out very simply. About five years ago, a friend of mine, who was then working on one of the TV channels, invited me to participate in some kind of humorous program. He said: "You are a cheerful person - come, let's have fun!" I came to shoot, we joked a lot and had a really great day. And after a while I was invited to try for the role of a presenter on the same channel. And then - and so it went: VKT, REN-TV, and then Channel One ...

- On REN-TV you hosted the program "Green Cucumber" - this, apparently, was the dress rehearsal of "Fazenda"?
- Maybe. I was, as they say, closer to the point. The director of the program "Fazenda" saw me in the "Green Cucumber" and invited me to his program, they were just looking for a new presenter. And now, the Good Morning program on the First ...

Write letters!
- Roman, please tell us how an ordinary summer resident can become the hero of your program. You, probably, letters from those who want to come in bags?
- To do this, it is not necessary to send a letter in an envelope - you can leave a request on our website, describe your cottage in detail, post its photos, tell where it is located. If our editors are interested in the object, they will call you back to clarify some details, and, perhaps, you will be invited to take part in the shooting.

- Well, what are the selection criteria? Can the owners of small country houses become the heroes of "Fazenda"?
- I assure you, in this case, the size just does not matter! Much more important is the location of the site, its remoteness from Moscow, the convenience of logistics from a purely technical point of view - after all, we will need to bring building materials, equipment, craftsmen. Another fundamental point is how contact the owners themselves are. After all, we will shoot them, communicate with them, and all this on the screen should look emotional, entertaining.

Favorite program
- And what program do you personally remember?
- Last! I'm joking, but in principle I'm not far from the truth - the shooting of one of the latest programs, which will soon be aired, is very memorable. In it, we broke ponds for the owners on the site. It turned out really cool, unusual. Our designers not only landscaped the site, but also launched fish into the ponds! You should have seen the shining faces of the owners! I got real aesthetic pleasure.

- Have there been cases when the result of your work did not suit the owners?
- In my memory, this was not. As a rule, we part as good friends, and only bright moments of communication remain in our memory.

Frankly, you give the impression of a very contact and positive person. With you, probably, it is impossible to quarrel!
- Of course, it would be strange to say that I always laugh and have fun - that would be an anomaly. But in general, I take life lightly. The Chinese claim that it helps to live. And if you keep talking about your problems and difficulties all the time, they really accumulate around you.

Small homeland
- Roman, do you have a dacha yourself?
- There is - my mother's dacha, this is an old story. As a boy, at the age of 13-14, I began to help her build our hacienda. We acquired a plot in the Saratov region and built a small house. My mother and I were engaged in the dacha in the nineties, and everything is extremely simple with us there. And when I moved to Moscow, I began to visit there less and less. After my mother died, I come to my homeland once a year - in the summer. But he did not sell the dacha, it is still alive.

Do you agree that the dacha is a purely Russian invention? After all, private houses, villas, cottages in which people live all year round are more common in the world.
- In Russia, only a few can afford to combine a house and a dacha. I think it will take another hundred years for this to happen. In the provinces, for example, there are still six acres - and "we went to dig potatoes."

- Roman, did any of your relatives stay in your small homeland in the Saratov region?
- My younger sister Olya lives there. She is thirty years old and has two children. I visit them periodically, we travel together. She is very attached to her native places, she has friends there, her favorite work is everything.

- Did you quickly adapt in the capital?
- In the rhythm of the metropolis, not everyone takes root, it's true. When I moved to Moscow with my young wife in the late nineties and early 2000s, it was very difficult. I had a rented apartment and a guitar. But if you get drawn into this rhythm, you won’t be able to live differently later. Now I can’t even imagine where I could live, except for Moscow. I'm comfortable here. Spinning like a squirrel in a wheel - that's for me!

Weekdays "NEdays"
- And now you haven't parted with the guitar?
- Of course not! I even have a musical group "NEbudni", we perform little by little. Unfortunately, now there is very little time left for touring, because I have also started recording for the Good Morning! program, the schedules have been compressed as much as possible. But we are slowly working on new songs, coming up with something and plan to perform more often in the fall. And I always have a guitar with me, every free minute I take it in my hands and play something - it pacifies me. If my friends and I arrange parties-gatherings, then the guitar is an obligatory element of the “program”!

- And who are your friends - musicians or TV people?
- I do not divide people into categories, castes, the main thing is that the person is pleasant and we somehow coincide in spirit. I have different friends - both musicians, and television people, and physicists, and lyrics, as they say ...

- Did you go to music school as a child?
- My dad was a musician, and my mother worked all her life as a teacher of history and geography in college. But it so happened that my parents separated quite early, I was then five or six years old. In general, my mother did not want to send me to a music school, and my childhood passed absolutely without music. But I didn't feel like something was missing in my life. But when I turned fifteen, I began to meet girls, sing songs with a guitar on benches and so on. It was then that I grabbed the guitar, began to learn chords, and got so carried away that I went to a music school myself, graduated as an external student and entered a music school.

- What kind of music do you like?
- Basically I like guitarists - Harry Moore, Steve Vai. The latter recently came to Moscow with concerts, but, unfortunately, I could not get out to him. From rock I love Panther, Metallica, Pet Shop Boys. I also like Paganini, Vivaldi, jazz musicians. I even named my beloved cat the musical name Blues! This is a young Cornish Rex cat, a very smart and intelligent guy. Magnificent creation!

Romance without romance
What movie would you like to watch after a hard day at work?
- The last picture that impressed me was Supremacy with Johnny Depp and Rebecca Hall in the lead roles. Just recently I made an interesting discovery for myself, it just concerns cinema: a film can be a kind of indicator. It happens that you advise someone to watch your favorite movie, and then to the question “Well, how is the movie?” they answer you: “Yes, some kind of dregs!”. And it can be a real shock! Personally, I thought several times that, obviously, with this person we are on completely different emotional levels ...

- Now the movie is being shot for every taste - there is arthouse, and action films, and science fiction, and melodramas ...
- Oh sure. But if we talk about the global chewing gum of film corporations, then I'm not interested in this - it's just business.

- Do you watch series?
- Only English speakers. Recently I got hooked on the series "Game of Thrones", "Doctor House" and watch them with pleasure. There is no time to learn English intensively, and films with subtitles help to expand my vocabulary well - so I combine the useful with the pleasant.

Roman, it is known that you are now single. Aren't you afraid to fall in love and lose your head? Or do you have a thought out, calculated future life?
- How can you calculate love, what are you ?! I think it will happen by itself - just everything has its time and place. You can take any action, but in the end everything will happen as destined by fate. Therefore, I just live, enjoying the very process of life, and absolutely do not strain on this topic. But dreams should be as specific as possible - then they will come true!

Recently, the host of the Fazenda program on Channel One, Roman Budnikov, opened a design bureau. However, he himself does not live in fashionable apartments furnished in the latest fashion, but in a small rented apartment. His 12-year-old daughter Sasha often comes to visit him in this bachelor lair.

My daughter is very smart

“I can’t say that I am a business man,” Roman begins a tour of the apartment. “Most of the household chores are done by a housekeeper who comes here a couple of times a week. Cleaning, washing, ironing. The maximum that is enough for me is occasionally to cook something simple, without frills. There are two wonderful assistants for this: an air grill and a slow cooker. Abandoned products, turned on and forgot.

Recently I decided to try my hand at business, I opened a design bureau. Over the years of work in the Fazenda project, an idea arose to create such an office. True, I myself am a shoemaker without boots. As you can see, there are no stylistic finds or fashionable furniture in the house. You think about yourself last. Moreover, I don’t see any reason to make a cool renovation here, because I rent it.

I had my own apartment in Mytishchi. Together with my ex-wife Galya, we saved up for it in the first years of our life in Moscow. When they divorced, the wife and daughter stayed there, of course. We didn’t explain anything to Sasha then, she was small, only three years old. Gradually she understood everything herself, without serious heart-to-heart conversations. Sasha is very smart. Now everything is in harmony for her. Mom has a new husband (however, my daughter calls me dad). In addition, recently another girl, Sasha's sister, was born to her ex-wife. Perhaps the most important thing is that in our communication there is no tension in relation to each other. We are friends with Galina, meet, hug, kiss. This is important so that the child does not develop childhood psychological trauma.

Sasha and I are friends

We see each other regularly, although not as often as we would like. When she visits me, we arrange musical parties. I invite the guys from my group "Nebudni" to visit, pick up a guitar, my daughter - a flute, and start playing. She studies at a music school, she was assigned there by a joint decision six years ago. Sasha likes it. She composes her own music. Here I recorded a cover of the song Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5, shot a video for it, edited it and posted it on the blog. How she manages this at 12 years old, I don’t understand.

Recently we went with her to record the show “Voice. Children". The daughter was delighted. It is too early to participate in such a project. But in a couple of years, perhaps, we will try our hand at competitions. It is not at all a fact that she will choose a career as a musician; journalism attracts her no less.

Sasha and I have a very trusting and friendly relationship. Recently learned to go kart. I have been fond of this for a long time, and my daughter had her first race. I was a little scared, but I still wanted to try. She is brave (in whom, I wonder?). To be honest, I got excited when the instructor started taping her legs to the map with sticky tape. It turned out that for children it is a common practice not to chat on the track. You should have seen Sasha's burning eyes after the arrival.

Last spring, we went to Turkey together for the Generation Next music festival. Even before that, I wanted to take Sasha with me on vacation, but her mother would not let go. And I understand Galya. But the daughter grew up, and the situation was resolved. Now we are comparing our schedules in order to repeat the joint trip this year.

Yelling and putting in a corner is a big mistake

I am proud of my daughter's success in school. She is an excellent student, gets upset because of every four, which cannot but rejoice. I don’t help with lessons, Sasha is an independent girl. Yes, and the program for modern schoolchildren is different from the one I studied. I can't call myself a strict parent. Rather demanding, but fair. Yelling, putting in a corner is a big mistake. Nothing but resentment. As a person who stood in the corner as a child, I can testify. But Sasha sometimes educates me too. She reprimands that I will never give up smoking completely.

At first, I spoiled Sasha a lot. I bought her everything at once, drove where she asked. I had the syndrome of a grandmother who sees her granddaughter once a year. I caught myself on this and began to slow down a little so as not to spoil the child. Now I still arrange surprises for my daughter. But with meaning. And I take an active part in it.

Despite our constant communication, I am still a Sunday dad. And dissatisfied with myself, I say this sincerely. I would like to devote much more time, attention. But she has her own active life (school, musician, friends), and I have a busy schedule. Nevertheless, we manage to be together, which is great.

Despite the divorces, I can’t say that I’m not made for marriage. When a man says that he is a loner in life, this is complete nonsense. People shouldn't be alone. And I just haven't met the one yet. And I'm philosophical about it. I visit companies where there are a lot of beautiful and smart girls. Sometimes I get carried away with someone, but so far nothing serious. My woman should be wise, sincere and understanding. Know how to take care of my cat. He's a weirdo guy. But seriously, how economic it is, it doesn’t matter. I will not stand over it and control it so that the porridge turns out without lumps, and the pancakes are fried the way I like. A woman should be a friend. I like passionate, with a gleam in the eye and ready for adventure. And I will try to make our life happy.

Russian TV presenter and musician Roman Budnikov well known to viewers thanks to the program "Fazenda" on Channel One. During his creative career, Roman worked on several channels, including Ren TV, Stolitsa, VKT and others. Today Roman Budnikov officially considered one of the main faces of Channel One. He also successfully maintains his career as a musician, being not only a talented guitarist and songwriter, but also a producer and bandleader.

Roman Budnikov was born in the city of Engels, where he spent his childhood - quite ordinary, with school, games in the yard and simple boyish hobbies. But at the age of 16, Roman's life took a significant turn - he fell in love with the guitar. This hobby permeated the whole life of young Budnikov, for a long time determining his goals and social circle. Roman managed to graduate from a music school in his hometown as an external student in just two years, and immediately after that he became a guitarist in the rock band Noah's Ark. For some time, the young musician remained in Engels, but soon realized that the capital was irresistibly calling him.

Creative career of Roman Budnikov / Roman Budnikov

In Moscow, a talented guitarist was waiting for a new unexpected twist of fate - work on television. It happened quite by accident - a good friend once invited Roman to take part in the filming of the program, and Budnikov was "noted" there. The first platform for realizing the talents of the presenter for him was the channel "Capital", where Roman led a small column in the program "Weekdays of the Capital". Then there was work on the Night Youth channel, then Trust, VKT, REN-TV and, finally, Channel One.

In 2012, Roman Budnikov became the new host of the popular TV show about the renovation of the dacha. "Fazenda". Replacing his predecessor in this post, he quickly won the sympathy of the audience and became an integral part of the program.

Roman Budnikov: “I am a fairly vain person and have always strived for success. Of course, I dreamed of working on the First. And a few years ago, imagining what kind of program I could lead, I accidentally stumbled upon Fazenda. Something clicked in my head: here I would look organic. And they took it and called a year later. Materialization? Visualization? Works!".

It is noteworthy that the topic of construction is really known to Roman not only in theory - he himself built his dacha in the Moscow region, where he loves to spend his infrequent free days. In the piggy bank of the skills of a well-known presenter there is everything that is needed for the presenter "Fazendas"- He knows how to paint, knead a strong mortar, lay a roof, weld, and also understands the issues of wiring electricity and repairing plumbing.

Of course, the arrival of a new presenter in an existing project is not always a smooth process, but Budnikov successfully coped with the “implementation”, proving that he really is in his place in this program.

Roman Budnikov about his role as a host in the program "Fazenda": "I was not worried about the topic of construction. You are always more worried about the team you will be in. On television, this topic is generally quite serious. You fit in - you don't fit in, you fit in - you don't fit in. And I always treated the topic of construction calmly. I can’t say that I am a super-specialist, but my grandfather Ivan Antonovich Tenigin instilled in me a love for designers from childhood: to make something, to invent, because he himself was an inventor, an engineer. So I wasn't afraid of it at all."

Finding himself as a presenter, as well as a talented entertainer and showman, Roman Budnikov did not forget about his favorite guitar - it is still an important part of his life. In addition, Roman periodically appears in episodes for Russian TV series and in commercials.

In mid-September, Channel One presenters, as well as movie and show business stars, visited Tula, where they held the twentieth anniversary action "First in the Army". Well-known TV presenters and actors visited the training ground of the 106th Tula Airborne Division, where they tested almost all types of Tula weapons, including the famous Maxim machine gun.

For Roman Budnikov, the action "First in the Army" coincided with the broadcast week, when from 5 to 9 in the morning he, in the company of his co-host Olga Ushakova, should be in direct contact with the audience. Nevertheless, having finished his work in Good Morning, Roman immediately went to Tula, having time for the solemn part, when valuable prizes were awarded to the best officers and soldiers.

As it turned out, Roman does not regret the missed opportunity to try out weapons, as he is a hardened pacifist and shooting is not one of his many hobbies.

- I am a very peaceful person, for world peace, for no one to fight with anyone, for no one to offend anyone, and for us and no one to ever need weapons. I also participated in the previous “First in the Army” actions, shooting at them is not the main thing, for me personally, the emotions and feelings of people who were waiting for the command of Channel One, which, with the support of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, helped the officers who put their lives in the service, are more important Fatherland, to believe that everything is fine in our country. Agree, when a person from the training ground in front of the podium and his entire regiment leaves in a car donated in honor of the holiday, this is a very strong impression for him and his family,” says Roman Budnikov.

Morning broadcasts are fraught with lack of sleep, and therefore Roman Budnikov, according to his confession, learned to cheat, that is, to doze off in the car on the way to the shooting.

“The first year I couldn’t sleep anywhere, then a habit developed, and if I don’t have enough rest, I pass out anywhere, in any condition,” shared the TV presenter, who has been hosting Good Morning for two years and Fazenda for almost five years.

But from all his projects and even a busy schedule, Roman, according to him, gets high and even he has time for music. For those who don’t know, Budnikov has his own musical group “Ne weekdays”, with whom he tours cities and villages.

The TV star tries not to talk about his personal life, although it is known that he was married twice and from his first marriage he has a 14-year-old daughter, Alexander.

- I am a Sunday dad, although we don’t only see each other once a week, this summer, for example, my daughter and I made an eight-day tour of Europe. First we visited Budapest, where we attended a huge music festival for two days, then we went to Austria - we had breakfast, drank coffee and rushed to the Netherlands. There we already rented a car and went to France. I was in Paris for the first time and was disappointed, I’ll say more - tense, somehow restless there, so we quickly ran away from there. My daughter and I took two acoustic guitars with us and periodically gave small concerts. Sasha graduated from a music school with a flute class, writes songs, and I support her in all her endeavors. It's great to get out together, dad and daughter, we got fantastic pleasure from the trip, ”admitted Roman Budnikov, who knows how to turn any day of the week into “Not weekdays”.
