Archil Gomiashvili

The actor from the film “12 Chairs” in his youth was repeatedly sent to prison for fights, theft and hooliganism. But the first article of 17-year-old Archil was political: along with a company of teenagers, he participated in the publishing of unofficial magazines.

“They gave me a ten … I served four years, they took me out of the camp to build the Volga-Don Canal. But after I wrote a letter to the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR Kruglov, they released me for lack of corpus delicti, ”he said.

But the artist’s adventures did not end there: the actor served four times. For brawls, theft, new drives and deadlines. But the biggest case involved the Tbilisi Russian Drama Theater, where the man worked. One night, with an accomplice, Gomiashvili cut the skin from the seats of the auditorium and sold it to a shoemaker. Because of this, he spent two years in a correctional camp.

After that, for a fight he was expelled from the Moscow Art Theater School, but Archil fled to his homeland in Georgia from the next trial.

Robert Downey Jr

In 1980, Robert was considered one of the most promising celebrities. But the young man could not stand fame and embarked on a thorny path: he became addicted to alcohol and drugs. Once the police stopped his car for speeding and found a pistol, cocaine and heroin in it. He was sentenced to compulsory treatment and compulsory labor.

But one day he did not appear for one of the tests, and the court decided to increase the punishment. Robert spent six months in prison. After he was again sentenced to imprisonment for three years, but he served only a third of this term, thanks to the exemplary behavior and activities of California Governor Jerry Brown.

Since then, Downey Jr. has repeatedly undergone drug addiction treatment in rehab centers and has gradually been able to regain his fame and multiply commercial success.

Pasha Technician

Pavel Ivlev was imprisoned for the sale and possession of drugs. As the artist said in an interview, 12 years ago he was framed by a friend: they met at the entrance to pass the hashish, and then there was the sound of steps on the stairs. The hip-hop performer immediately ran into the apartment, but in the evening his mother opened the door to the police.

They found one and a half grams in the Technician’s room, but the musician claims that they threw it on him – during the day of spending time in the apartment, everything that was forbidden that he could have, he already flushed down the toilet. However, he was given 6 years of a strict regime, but came out two years earlier and immediately went to rap: after his release, he recreates his group “Kunteynir”, thanks to which he became famous.

“Everything was fine there. They only * beat * us often. It’s like an army, only in robes, ”Pasha shared.

Savely Kramarov

The same clerk from the film “Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession”, who charmed the audience with his charisma, is also a former convict! In his youth, the actor collected icons. Copies he got at a song in different cities of the Golden Ring.

But later, Sava became interested in Judaism, began to practice yoga and began to attend synagogue. Of course, his new way of life did not suit the huge number of Orthodox icons in the house, and he decided to gradually get rid of them, reselling them abroad. But because of this he thundered into prison: fortunately, he was quickly released with the help of good connections.

Lindsey Lohan

Lindsay has been in prison more than once: she was arrested for drugs, and drunk driving, and for violation of the rehabilitation period. And in July 2010, the court sentenced her to 90 days in prison for violating the suspended sentence, under which the convicted person must be under the supervision of the authorities.

This became a real tragedy for the girl: right at the meeting, she sobbed and persuaded the judge to smooth the decision. She vowed that she would go to work and share all the results. But the actress still had to serve a prison sentence, and then undergo a rehabilitation course from alcohol addiction.

However, such a criminal experience taught the celebrity a lot. For example, when she was serving a 14-day sentence in solitary confinement for drunk driving, at first she was even glad of such an unplanned “vacation”:

“The strangest thing for me was that finally silence appeared in my life. I was so scared, realizing that I didn’t need to answer anyone, to do something. “

Valentina Malyavina

In April 1978, actor Stanislav Zhdanko was stabbed. When the ambulance arrived at the scene, there was no one to save – Stas died. It is not entirely clear what happened that day.

According to Malyavina, in the evening she, together with her lover Stanislav and their common friend Viktor Proskurin, attended the performance, and then decided to celebrate the success of the premiere. After the feast, Victor left, and the remaining two friends had a quarrel.

Valya snatched the bottle from her opponent’s hands and began to drink alcohol out of it in spite of Zhdanko, because for the sake of him, she once gave up alcohol. After she left the room, deciding to pour the rest of the drink down the drain, and when she returned, her beloved was already lying on the floor.

Six months later, the criminal case was closed, deciding that the artist had committed suicide. But everything was just beginning. Five years later, the power in the country changed, the time for “purges” began, and the case was returned for further investigation. The actress was arrested and sentenced to 9 years in prison. But, thanks to a lawyer, the actress served only 4 years.

Jamie Waylett

The 22-year-old actor, who played the famous enemy of the wizard Harry Potter, was sentenced to two years in prison for participating in the riots in London. The situation was complicated by the fact that, in addition to hooliganism, Jamie committed theft, and the prosecutor also wanted to attribute harm to other people’s property to him, since the artist was holding a Molotov cocktail in his hands. However, Waylett claimed that he simply drank champagne, and also only wore a Molotov cocktail, as his acquaintances asked him to.

By the way, this is not the first meeting of the artist with the servants of the law – in 2009, the court sentenced the teenager to 120 hours of community service for growing cannabis, and three years later, British law enforcement agencies found 15 cannabis shoots from the young actor
