Andrei Bednyakov is one of those stars of the television screen who never thought that life would give them a generous gift and make them a celebrity.
Childhood
Andrey Bednyakov, the future popular presenter, was born in Ukraine, in the city of Mariupol, which was a metallurgical center and a major port of the Donetsk region. The family was the most ordinary: dad worked at a factory, mom worked in a hospital. Andrei himself did not impress with any talents from childhood and was a completely ordinary boy, like thousands in any city.
KVN - a win-win path to success
In the early biography of the popular presenter, everything is ordinary. He graduated from school and immediately went to work at a factory. He also chose a quite ordinary profession: he became an electrical mechanic. Andrei Bednyakov would have continued the working dynasty of his family if the factory had not noticed his ability to make good jokes. He did it really well, so he began to play in the main team of the plant. This went on for several years, and then real luck began: Andrei ended up with Alexander Maslyakov, in the Major League of KVN of Ukraine.
Moving to the capital
While still working at the plant, Andrei entered the correspondence department of the Kharkov University of Internal Affairs. The end of my studies coincided with the opportunity to play in the KVN Major League, and the decision was made to move to Kyiv. And here luck smiled on Andrey again. In the Ukrainian capital, a casting has begun for the position of host of the local version of the famous program “Big Difference”. Bednyakov decided to try his hand and passed the selection. As he admitted later, there was no happier person on Earth that day than he.
"Big difference" in Ukrainian
The program gave Bednyakov a good start to his career and served as a good acting school. Parody is not as simple as it might seem. You need to be able to capture the most memorable, striking traits of a person’s character and behavior and be able to play it off so that he is recognized. Since the days of KVN, Andrey Bednyakov (photo from the “Big Difference” project can be seen below) has been able to parody voices quite well, but he had to learn everything else from more experienced colleagues.
“Heads and Tails” - colossal experience and well-deserved popularity
Participation in the famous program was not the ultimate dream of the actor. I wanted to move on, try myself in new projects. And such a chance soon presented itself. Casting has begun for the role of host of the entertainment travel show “Heads and Tails.” Andrey Bednyakov was not lazy and went to see it. And I finally got a place as one of the presenters! Who could now doubt that he has undoubted talent, charm and charisma. Although my participation in “Big Difference” helped me win the competition to some extent. Andrei once made a parody of the first presenter of “Heads and Tails,” and his wife, one of the presenters of the program, talked about the casting. So Bednyakov found out about him - he came and won.
The program “Heads and Tails” was already a stable success among viewers, but with the arrival of a new participant its rating soared. The young, charming presenter with the now famous small beard quickly won the hearts of the audience. For Andrey himself, the program became a great opportunity to visit a huge number of countries: famous tourist, exotic and unusual places.
During their participation in the program, the presenters visited more than 60 countries. These were completely different places: romantic, noisy, fabulously beautiful, disgusting, dangerous. Andrei Bednyakov and his wife Nastya want to go to some of them again, they liked them so much. And there are those where the presenter will never return and for any money. This is, for example, Mumbai in India, where travelers were struck by a huge number of rats.
Thanks to participation in the program, Andrei’s long-time dream came true: he was able to visit South America. And not just one country - the film crew was given a month to travel to the most interesting places.
The favorite countries that Andrei Bednyakov and Nastya, his faithful life partner, are ready to visit constantly are the USA, the countries of South America and Europe. But most of all, the presenter loves to return home to Ukraine.
Andrey Bednyakov and Nastya Korotkaya: a love story
The viewer spent a lot of time watching the romantic relationship of this cheerful and charming couple in the program “Heads and Tails.” Anastasia Korotkaya and Andrei Bednyakov became co-hosts of the program in the 6th season. The actor honestly says that he felt comfortable working with all his partners, but no one can compare with the girl he loves.
The young people met a long time ago, back when Andrei was playing in KVN. Then they came together to the casting for “Big Difference”, and both passed it safely. For some time, Andrei Bednyakov and Nastya Korotkaya worked on this project, and then their creative paths diverged. Andrey was chosen as the host of another program. But fate smiled on the lovers here too. Since the “Heads and Tails” project was initially conceived as a family project, couples had to participate in it. And when in the 6th season, after casting, Nastya was chosen for the role of host, everything fell into place.
Wedding
Andrei Bednyakov loves New York very much, so he chose this city to propose to his beloved girlfriend. This happened on New Year's Eve in Times Square.
As for the wedding of the presenters, not everything is so clear and understandable. Considering the cheerful nature of both and the habit of constantly playing pranks on others, it is difficult to understand when Andrei and Nastya are joking and when they are telling the truth. Last summer, Bednyakov posted on Instagram a photo from the filming of the program, where he and Nastya were dressed as a bride and groom. Fans of the presenter were already rushing to congratulate him when he himself denied the rumors that had appeared about the wedding and wrote on his page that it was a joke.
However, all those who follow the work of this cheerful couple have no doubt that a real wedding is just around the corner.
New plans and projects
In 2013, fans were upset by the news that Andrei Bednyakov and his wife (civilian) were stopping participation in the “Heads and Tails” program. It was officially stated that they were tired of the busy filming schedule. What actually happened remains a mystery - Bednyakov prefers not to wash dirty linen in public.
Almost immediately, Andrei began working on a new project on the same channel - “Date with a Star.” A little later, the premiere of a new travel program took place - “How the chips fall.” Unfortunately, only one episode was aired, and the program was closed for an unknown reason.
In September 2014, a new program with the participation of a presenter, “Rich Man - Poor Man,” starts. Its format is different from all those projects in which he participated before.
Andrei Bednyakov’s common-law wife can be proud of him. The charming presenter is already being compared to Ivan Urgant in terms of his rapidly growing popularity and demand. Bednyakov really cannot complain about the latter. He is interesting to the viewer, they love him and wait for him to appear on the screen. Therefore, he is actively invited to new projects.
The activities of the presenter were also assessed at home. Andrey Bednyakov won in the category “Favorite TV presenter of an entertainment program.” The Ukrainian publication “TV Star” annually holds the People’s Prize ceremony, and this time the audience chose the former presenter of “Heads and Tails.”
What does Andrey Bednyakov dream about?
His dreams are completely ordinary. Of course, traveling to different countries is exciting and interesting, but a busy filming schedule can discourage any desire to admire the exotic views around you. Therefore, now the presenter dreams of putting off work for at least a month, turning off the phone and just relaxing, doing nothing.
He has also long wanted to stop wandering around rented apartments and buy his own home, in which he can plan his future family life.
As for the profession, he is interested in trying himself not only in the already familiar role of presenter of the program, but actually playing on the theater stage or in films. He already has some experience in such filming. Andrei starred in a small episode in the film “Rzhevsky against Napoleon” several years ago. He is one of the youngest presenters, and everything is still ahead of him!
Anastasia Korotkaya is a presenter and actress originally from Donetsk. Today Nastya is 33 years old and she is married to Andrei Bednyakov. The girl's height is 164 cm. Her zodiac sign is Libra. This girl is not afraid to laugh at herself, this is what she bribed the creators of the travel show “Heads and Tails”.
Biography of Anastasia Korotkaya
A girl was born in the fall of 1985 in the city of Donetsk (Ukraine). A few years after the birth of their daughter, the parents decided to move to Mangush and then to Mariupol. At school, the girl was an excellent student and loved literature. The teachers praised her and rejoiced at Nastya’s success.
In her senior year, Anastasia Korotkaya decided that she wanted to become famous. But she didn’t yet know who exactly she wanted to be - an actress, singer or dancer.
Nastya's further fate
So, after graduating from school, the girl enters the choreographic institute in the city of Berdyansk. During her student years, she was an active participant in the Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful, and took part in all holidays and events on the territory of the university. And after receiving her diploma, she did not work for a day in her specialty.
In addition to KVN, the girl danced with a Mariupol group, and on weekends she worked as a salesperson. At that time, Anastasia Korotkaya had practically no free time, and she considered this the norm. One day a new member appeared in the KVN team - Andrei Bednyakov. Together with him, our heroine later left to conquer the capital.
In Kyiv, at the time the guys arrived there, there was a casting for the famous show “Big Difference”, where the girl went right away. At the same time, she studied parodies. Andrey mastered the art of showing famous people back from KVN, and Nastya had to take lessons from him. Korotkaya considers Anastasia Prikhodko and Katya Osadcha the most successful of her parodies.
"Heads and Tails"
In 2013, Anastasia Vladimirovna Korotkaya made her debut as a TV presenter. She passed the casting for the famous Ukrainian project “Heads and Tails”. The work was very exciting and interesting. In addition, her attention was earned by the already experienced presenter Andrei Bednyakov, with whom they had known each other since their student days.
When the guy offered to try his hand at being a presenter, Nastya gladly went to the casting. She passed the selection and began working instead of Lesya Nikityuk.
As Anastasia Korotkova says, in “Heads and Tails” she most often had to spend weekends in a foreign city with a modest budget. As she claims, this is much more interesting than having a huge amount of money and not knowing where to spend it.
In 2014, Nastya and Andrey decided to leave the program and become the hosts of “Date with a Star,” where they were invited by the creators of the project. Then the young couple began hosting the program “How the Chip Falls.” But after the first broadcast, the program was closed. The reasons for this remain unknown to this day.
Personal life of Anastasia
As already mentioned, our heroine has known her current husband since the days of student KVN. Photos of Anastasia Korotkaya and Andrei Bednyakov often appear in well-known publications with headlines talking about love.
Nastya received a marriage proposal in New York in Times Square, when they were once again late for the plane. Andrey put off this moment for a long time due to the busy schedules of both, but finally decided to do it. In the summer of 2014, the couple had a modest wedding. And the lovers spent their honeymoon filming in the city of Chelyabinsk.
Before this, the couple lived together for about 6 years, and the young people did not think about formalizing the relationship due to their employment. However, Nastya has recently begun to tell Andrei more and more often that all her friends are already married, many already have children, and that maybe it’s time for them too.
Even today they remember their first acquaintance in Mariupol during a performance by the KVN team. Andrey was always a talkative and cheerful guy, and Nastya was the first beauty on the course.
As Anastasia says now, she feels good and warm when Bednyakov is just nearby. He doesn't have to do anything at all. This, according to the girl, is love. Short’s motto in life: “Always, under any circumstances, remain a cheerful child. This helps to approach many problems more easily.”
There is a tradition in the Bednyakov family - eating fruit during an evening session of watching cartoons. In addition, the married couple leads a healthy lifestyle, does not drink alcohol and is not addicted to cigarettes.
Today they have a growing daughter, Ksenia, whom Anastasia gave birth to in a private clinic in Miami.
Nastya and Andrey devote all their time to their daughter and give her a lot of love, affection and tenderness. According to the couple, this is much more important than buying expensive toys for the child. Bednyakov still feels insecure in the role of dad, but he tries to take Ksenia in his arms more often, talks to her, and also sings lullabies.
In the program “Heads and Tails” Anastasia Korotkaya is still expected, but she is not thinking about it yet. Motherhood is the most important thing in life for her now.

Nastya Korotkaya was born in the Ukrainian city of Donetsk, but her childhood was spent in Mariupol, where the family moved because of her father’s work.
The future artist studied well, and after school she entered the Pedagogical University.
Perhaps we would never have known about the existence of this girl, but the KVN team “What does this have to do with us,” formed from students, completely changed Nastya’s life plans.
While studying at the institute, Korotkaya received professional choreographic education, it helped her stay on the team long enough.
And thanks to her artistic abilities, Nastya quickly took a huge step forward in her creative direction. Having received her diploma, she went to Kyiv to try her hand at the casting for “Big Difference.”
Short presented a parody of Anastasia Prikhodko - the producers liked the result so much that they immediately enrolled her in the show. But a year later, the actress leaves for Moscow to take part in the Russian version of BR.
Her appearance on the screen made Nastya popular in an instant not only in our homeland, but also in Russia.
Following the parody show, there was an offer to star in the series “Big Feelings,” which Anastasia happily accepted. Working in the project became Nastya’s film debut.
In 2013, the actress was offered to participate in the most interesting program on the Friday channel, “Heads and Tails.” Short already loved to travel, and now she is offered to do it at someone else’s expense.
Of course, she agreed, especially since she became her partner, whom the girl had been dating for many years. The young people have known each other since their student days. and together participated in the KVN team.
A year later, Nastya leaves the project and becomes the host of a show of a different format, “Date with a Star.” At the same time, Bednyakov organizes his own program, the theme of which intersects with “Heads and Tails,” where Nastya played an important role. However, after the first release, it was frozen without explanation.
Korotkaya’s personal life is directly connected with Bednyakov - despite the raging charm of both and the mass of temptations associated with their work, the young people treat each other very sensitively and tenderly.
In 2014, their wedding took place, and in 2015, a daughter was born into the family. Both Nastya and Andrey are happy together - talented parents are confident that they will raise a worthy daughter who will certainly inherit their creative abilities.

In 2013, Korotkaya made her debut in the popular tourist television project “Heads and Tails.” The program has always attracted Nastya, like most viewers. In addition to exciting travels, visiting amazing historical and natural monuments, getting to know the traditions and peculiarities of life of other peoples, the presenter himself, Andrey Bednyakov, was of interest to Nastya. The young people had been dating for a long time, and the girl accepted the offer to become a co-host of “Heads and Tails” with delight.
By chance, Nastya often got heads (budget tourism for $100), and the girl had to spend the weekend modestly. According to the presenter herself, traveling with $100 in your pocket is much more interesting than becoming the owner of an unlimited card (if the card lands on heads).
"Date with a Star"
