Milos Bikovic He is considered one of the most popular actors in Serbian cinema, whose fame has long exceeded the borders of our country. He has long enjoyed megastar status in Russia, and he will remember the year at the end because he was voted the most popular actor in that country.

He began his career in Russia in Nikita Mikhalkov’s film “Sunshine,” and perhaps nothing would have happened as Colonel Baron Levitsky if his brother the monk or, as Bikovic likes to say, the will of God had not intervened. In a recent confession, Bikovic told how much his family influenced his creative development, what temptations he faced in his life, but also why his brother Mihailo, who is the head of the Jovanje Monastery, played the most important role in his life.

– The first film I made in Russia is “Sunshine” by Nikita Mikhalkov. There is a story about my brother the monk and that movie. My brother is a huge fan of his films and I remember he once told me that Mikhalkov was preparing a new film and that he wanted to hire unknown actors. Then he told me that I should write him that I wanted to play in his movie. Biković started the story and revealed why he didn’t listen to his brother’s advice.

– I said, “If it’s God’s will, I’ll play in that movie.” That happened in the end – said the actor and explained that his relationship with his older brother has always been very important to him.

– My brother is 16 years older than me and he went to the monastery when he was 22 years old. People have a wrong perception when it comes to these things and think that monks live an ascetic life, as if they lived in a cave. But that’s not the case – said Milos and revealed how his parents reacted when his brother decided to become a monk.

– They had a hard time accepting it. He was six years old when our parents divorced and he remembered what family life was like. I am not. There was a period when my parents reconciled after the divorce and were together for six months, but then they finally separated. I don’t remember the time we were all together, but I do know that I saw my parents together for the first and only time when I was 18 years old. They sat at the table and had breakfast … My brother and I have the same parents, but we grew up in different conditions, says Biković and explains how that growth affected his life.

– I think people are shaped by different things that happen to them both in childhood and later in life. My life is full of temptations, I was driven by different passions, I had a stage in which I made many mistakes and, at times, many things seemed meaningless to me. He had the impression that he was constantly in some vicious circle that he couldn’t get out of. Every time I tried to leave, it made me come back. Only when you get away from all temptations, you can achieve essential freedom – said Bikovic on the program “2vernik2” on Russian television. However, as he emphasized, as an actor, it was necessary for him to step out of his comfort zone.

– You need to try different things at different stages of life. Experience life in all its fullness. Try things that are alien to you because it is the only way to approach and understand them. I would like to try new things, go to military training, experience life in the forest, and recently I learned to use weapons – said Bikovic.
