“Another blow of 2020, we are already counting the days so that it all ends faster, because the number of people who have left, whether they are famous or just friends, is going through the roof this year.
Of course, Valentin Gaft is one of the greatest actors of our time.
Really powerful talent in all respects, "Matsuev emphasized.
He added that Gaft is "the wittiest and kindest person with a unique sense of humor and irony."
“I was lucky to communicate with him several times.
He even wrote me famous epigrams ... We had many overlaps with him in different nuances, and the first, of course, is our common love for our dear club Spartak.
This is love for life.
We talked on the phone very often after the matches.
I was a big fan of him.
He also came to my concerts, "- said the interlocutor of RT.
According to him, this is “an era, a mighty, most powerful talent of the great Russian acting school,” which, as Matsuev explained, unfortunately, is becoming shallow.
“Unfortunately, on days like this, you realize that there are not so many left who can pass on real skill.
Fortunately, Gaft's art remained in recordings and films, of course, performances, and just in various programs, where his deepest thoughts are transmitted from the screen.
This is also absolutely like a teaching aid, like a master class, ”concluded Matsuev.
Soviet and Russian theater and film actor, theater director, People's Artist of the RSFSR Valentin Gaft died on December 12 at the age of 85.
