Why is Elena Yakovleva's son covered in tattoos? Elena Yakovleva's son found a wife who looked like his mother
At 56 years old, he not only does not intend to rest on his already well-deserved laurels, but also continues to work actively, playing on the theater stage and constantly acting in film and television projects. However, the workaholic star mother has a problem, which she calls nothing less than “the torment of hell.” The fact is that her 26-year-old son Denis born in marriage with actor of Sovremennik Valery Shalnykh, can’t find his place in life. The guy is tossed from side to side: he abandoned his studies in Britain, and having returned to Russia, he does not know what to do with himself.
As Elena Yakovleva says about Denis, “he is a completely separate substance: he is not like her or her husband.” Denis Shalnykh, who, due to his numerous tattoos, including on his face, now looks like a freak, has not taken root in any from educational institutions, which he abandoned almost immediately after admission, and then refused to study abroad, saying that British universities teach sciences that are completely unnecessary in Russia.
Elena Yakovleva is sadly forced to admit during a live broadcast 7days.ru: “The choice of his profession is hellish torment for me. Because Denis dropped out of the institute that my husband and I persuaded him to enroll in. We understood that we were now losing people. Many said: “Why study if there is nowhere to work?” They even sent him to London. But Denis said that they give knowledge that will not be useful at home, there is no point in learning.”
Having returned from Great Britain to Russia, Denis decided to take up bodybuilding. For his mother, this son’s hobby was a big discovery. True, in the field of pumping up muscles, the actress’s son was also unable to achieve any great results, since the young man’s first performances were unsuccessful.“Now this hobby is gone. He now needs something different, something creative. Denis says: “Mom, look at the plastic makeup! I want to do prosthetic makeup!” – explained Elena Zakharova.

Unfortunately, in Russia they don’t teach the profession of a plastic make-up artist anywhere, but there is a school in Los Angeles, however, training there costs incredible amounts of money. In the meantime, actress Elena Yakovleva complains, speaking about her 26-year-old son: “Of course, he’s throwing away the boy, he’s throwing away. He just has to decide for himself, decide for himself. Because you can't put your head on it. Of course, it was easier for us...”
By the way, if Elena Yakovleva’s son’s studies and work are not going well, he has succeeded in his personal life. In the summer of 2017, Denis Shalnykh married his beloved Victoria Melnikova. There was no magnificent wedding, as well as the outfits of the bride and groom. Denis was in black, and his chosen one was in a white shirt and skirt. Judging by the numerous joint photos on social networks, the young people live in perfect harmony, and his wife really likes Denis’s appearance.

Denis's childhood
Denis was born in November 1992 into a family of famous parents. When the boy was 11 years old, he played a cameo role in the television series “If we go camping tomorrow.” After that, he starred in the television series “The Secret of the Wolf's Mouth,” playing a serious role. However, the guy no longer played either in TV series or in films.
After some time, the young man continued his activities in cinema, but not as an actor, but as an auxiliary worker on the set. He wore art direction and also worked as an assistant production designer.

After graduating from high school, the young man went to England, where he studied at Oxford School. The young man’s parents assumed that he would continue his studies abroad, but after London, Denis returned back to Russia. In the capital, he entered a humanitarian university at the directing department; his parents thought that the guy would follow in their footsteps. However, after studying for several years, Denis Shalnykh (photo - later in the article) left the institute and began to engage in bodybuilding.
Several years ago, the young man was talked about in all media. The reason for this was Denis’s intense passion for body painting. At that time, the guy got his first tattoo on his face, which shocked the entire public. The popular actress said that she does not approve of Denis’s actions, but despite this, she loves her son and claims that the tattoo is the only bad thing that happened in her son’s life.
Hobbies of Denis Valerievich Shalnykh
The son of a famous actress is seriously interested in tattoos. By the age of 25, the guy covered almost 75% of his body. Denis’s first tattoo was a sketch of the dog Dick, which was made from a photograph of his favorite animal on the inside of his right arm. The image turned out to be quite realistic and delighted even Elena Yakovleva.
On the body of Denis Shalny (photos of the tattoo can be found in the article) there are huge drawings, which, as a rule, are made in color in the Gothic style. Most likely, this preference is due to the young man’s passion for heavy music and sports.
Now the guy has tattoos on most of his body and face. There are tattoos on the hands, fingers, and neck. Various inscriptions are even located along the hairline. However, Denis Shalnykh does not stop and periodically adds to his existing collection of sketches.
After some time, Denis’s parents decided to follow his example. Dad got a tattoo on his shoulder, and the famous mom got a tattoo of a butterfly on her lower back.
Romantic relationship with Rita
It is known that before meeting Victoria, Denis dated a girl named Rita. The relationship between the young people was serious, the couple was even planning a wedding. However, a couple of years ago the young people separated. After the breakup, Margarita changed her existing last name to Miller on social networks and removed her ex-boyfriend from her list of friends.
According to one version, the reason for his passion for tattoos was Denis’s first love. Rita worked as a tattoo artist, and during an affair with her, the guy began tattooing himself with various designs.
Wedding of Denis and Victoria
The young man’s solemn event also took place in a unique way. Denis and his beloved Victoria arrived at the registry office in outfits that were far from the concept of a classic. The girl was wearing a white shirt and black skirt, and the groom was wearing a black T-shirt and jeans.
Immediately after the official part of the celebration, the young people headed to one of the capital's restaurants to celebrate the event. The lovers did not arrange a magnificent celebration and, apparently, even their parents were not present at the celebration. Elena Yakovleva congratulated her son on the phone in the evening and said that she was very happy for the guys. It is known that Denis introduced his mother to his wife shortly before the wedding. Yakovleva quickly found a common language with the girl and fully approved of her son’s choice.

Over the past few years, the son of a popular Russian actress has been actively involved in sports. At the moment, his strong interest is not in the film industry, but in the career of a fitness trainer. In addition, he is making great progress in bodybuilding and enjoys music.
Once in an interview, Elena Yakovleva stated that her greatest fear was that her son would take steroids and anabolic steroids. However, Denis Shalnykh swore to his mother that he would never use them in his life. The young man does not smoke or drink alcohol, leads a healthy lifestyle and is actively involved in sports.
Denis's parents accept him for who he is and support the young man in all his endeavors. When the guy grew up and left his parents' house, his relationship with his parents only became stronger.
Not long ago the guy found his calling. Denis got a job at the Rosatom School as a teacher. One of the main requirements was knowledge of English; after all, you have to have conversations with guys from different countries. Elena Yakovleva’s son knows a foreign language very well, so he was hired without any particular difficulties.
Denis Shalnykh is an actor who became popular thanks to his extraordinary appearance and unusual lifestyle. Many people want to know what he is doing now, to see his photo. More about the biography and life of Denis Shalny, the son of Elena Yakovleva, can be found in this article.
Denis Shalnykh was born on November 7, 1992, in the family of the famous actress and actor Valery Shalnykh.

In Moscow, he enters the Humanitarian Institute of Television and Radio, successfully passes the entrance examination and is enrolled in the directing department.
Future life
However, during his studies, he realizes that he does not want to continue his studies and the director’s path is not for him. So he quits university. Soon Denis finds a real passion for himself - sports and tattoos.
He made his first tattoo on his hand - the name of his beloved dog. Elena Yakovleva was then very touched by his love for his pet. However, she could not imagine that everything would go so seriously. His tattoos are his self-expression. He has the face of a TV presenter he doesn’t like tattooed on his hand, and on top is the inscription “horror.”

Thus, Denis, a very silent young man, tells the whole world about his preferences, his inner world, his condition.
Elena Yakovleva does not approve of the actions of her son, Denis Shalnykh, since he is unrecognizable even in the photo, but she is not against his hobby. She says that she loves her son no matter what, and also that these tattoos are the only bad thing that happened in Denis’s life.
His parents soon decided to follow their son's example. My father stopped drinking and got a tattoo on his shoulder, and Elena Yakovleva got a tattoo of a butterfly on her lower back.

Now only 30 percent of his body is not covered in paint. Denis was instilled with a love for tattoos by one girl, a tattoo artist, with whom he was in love. Margarita, that was the girl’s name, reciprocated Crazy’s feelings. They began dating, lived together for more than two years and even wanted to get married.
On social networks, Margarita changed her last name to that of her lover, preparing for the imminent wedding ceremony. However, they soon broke up. Their breakup was painful for Margarita, but Denis himself easily survived the separation.
Shalny is also interested in bodybuilding, is in good athletic shape, and has no bad habits. Some believed that the reason for Crazy's unusual appearance was his drug addiction. However, he soon assured journalists that he did not use drugs, drink or smoke, and did not even try to do so.
His adherence to a healthy lifestyle makes parents proud of their son. Denis Shalnykh even worked as a fitness trainer for some time, but soon quit this job.
He reports that he cannot find a place in life - at the moment he has not found a profession that would correspond to his character and abilities. However, the parents do not reproach their son for this, hoping that he will soon find himself in some specialty and become happy.
In 2017, he had a wedding with a student of the Faculty of Philology, Victoria Melnikova. Before that, they dated for a whole year. At first glance, it seems that they do not suit each other, but they have much more in common than different. Initially, Elena Yakovleva was against the relationship of her son, Denis Shalny, with this girl, but they soon became friends and take photos together.
Apart from the newlyweds themselves, only their witnesses and a photographer were present at the ceremony. Instead of the usual wedding suits, the bride and groom dressed simply - Victoria wore a white shirt and a black skirt, and Denis wore black trousers and a shirt. Their parents gave them an apartment.
It becomes clear that Denis and Victoria love each other - they are comfortable together. After the registry office, the newlyweds went to a restaurant to celebrate this joyful event. Neither Denis nor Victoria like publicity and noisy celebrations, so they did not invite their parents to the wedding, fearing that journalists and fans of famous actors would not let them enjoy this day. However, the parents were not offended by their son, because they understand him perfectly.
Denis Shalnykh continues to look for a place in life. Now he plans to move to Los Angeles and take plastic surgery master courses there.
25-year-old Denis Shalnykh, the son of actress Elena Yakovleva, turns out to look quite extravagant. A few years ago, a guy became interested in bodybuilding and tattoos, “scorching” most of his body. It all started with a tattoo of their family's beloved dog, Dick.
When Denis wanted to get his first tattoo, he told me about it,” says Elena. “Like, I want to paint a portrait of Dick, our dog, the family’s pet,” says the actress. “I was surprised: “How’s the portrait?” Is that possible?" It turned out it was possible - from the photograph. And Denis made a very beautiful portrait of Dikuni on his hand. So the first tattoo turned out to be cool and touching. I remember back then I asked: “Did it hurt?” The son admitted that very much.
Both Elena and her husband, actor Valery Shalnykh, did not understand their son’s hobby at first. They attributed this to Denis’s friend Margarita, whom he was dating at the time. The girl worked as a tattoo artist. The couple lived together and planned to get married, but soon separated.
And then Denis’s parents themselves became interested in tattoos: Denis’s father made a design on his shoulder, and Elena Yakovleva tattooed a butterfly on her lower back. Elena says that Denis is a wonderful person and a caring son. He monitors not only himself, but also the health of his parents.
If it seems to him that we need to check something, he will drip on our brains endlessly, and then he will make an appointment with the doctor, bring a receipt and say: “Tomorrow you are going there,” the actress reported. The actress is sure that if the guy entered the medical faculty, he would become an excellent doctor. “If he went to medical school, he would be a good doctor,” suggested Elena Yakovleva. - Once I accompanied Denis to his ear, nose and throat. When he began to talk in vague terms about his assumptions about his illness, the doctor asked me: “What year of medical school is your son studying?”
However, the young man has not yet decided. He likes to improve his body and pump up his muscles. At the same time, Elena took an oath from her son that he would not take anabolic steroids and steroids. The son gave his word of honor. Denis studied at the directing department of the Humanitarian Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting, but dropped out of his studies in the third year, realizing that he did not want to connect his life with cinema.
The guy also studied in London, but soon realized that his stay abroad was pointless:
We sent Denis to London for a year, but he said: “It’s interesting to study there, of course, but what will I do with it when I return to Russia?” When he took up bodybuilding, it was a revelation to me how much willpower my son has! He achieved significant results, even competed, but then he became bored,” said Yakovleva.
Denis recently married a girl named Victoria. The actress likes her daughter-in-law:
Victoria is very good, smart, kind. And modest, quiet. Doing something related to computers. “It seems to me that she is the opposite of me,” said the actress.
The actress hopes that her son will find his place in life and something he likes.
Now he is interested in becoming a specialist in plastic makeup. True, to obtain the appropriate certificate, you need to fly to Los Angeles, only such courses exist there. In general, he throws the boy... But I think that he will find his place in life. But he must do it himself, decide on this issue himself, you can’t help it,” the celebrity added.
