We present to your attention a photo-list of actors who were arrested for various reasons at different times. These stellar arrests prove once again that everyone is equal before the law, whether you are an ordinary average person or a favorite of the public.
Vladimir Dolinsky
- "The same Munchausen"
- "An ordinary miracle"
- "Star of Captivating Happiness"
Honored Artist of Russia Vladimir Dolinsky can be safely attributed to the actors who had problems with the law. Currency fraud was considered a serious crime during the Soviet era, and it was for this article that the famous actor was convicted. He served four out of five years in prison. All famous people of that time asked for him, including Mark Zakharov, and the term was reduced. After his release from prison, it was Zakharov who without any problems took the former prisoner to his Lenkom.
Mark Wahlberg
- "The apostates"
- "Basketball Diary"
- "Italian Job"
Mark Wahlberg had every chance to join the ranks of street criminals. As a teenager, he was detained by the police more than twenty times. The main reasons were drugs and hooliganism. In the end, everything almost ended in tragedy: under the influence of psychotropic substances, Wahlberg committed a robbery and almost killed a man. The future actor spent the next two years in prison. Fortunately, the prison greatly influenced Mark and he decided that he would never return to addictions again.
Sergey Shevkunenko
- "Dirk"
- "Bronze bird"
- The Lost Expedition
Sergei could become one of the most popular artists of his time, but he chose a completely different fate. Already at the age of 16, the guy first found himself behind bars for hooliganism. Intelligent parents did their best to force their son to settle down, but neither the work as a lighting fixture at Mosfilm, nor the care of his loved ones could stop Sergei. Subsequently, he became a real "authority" from the gangster 90s, the leader of the "Mosfilm" group. The star of Soviet teenage films was killed by a hitman in his own apartment, and the crime was never solved.
Keanu Reeves
- "Devil's Advocate"
- "The matrix"
- "Constantine: Lord of Darkness"
Now Keanu leads a healthy lifestyle and is an example for many, but this was not always the case. In the early 90s, Reeves was young and hot, and therefore could afford daring actions. After one of these antics, the actor was arrested - he was arrested for drunk driving in 1993.
Valentina Malyavina
- "Ivan's childhood"
- "The Picture of Dorian Grey"
- "Literature lesson"
The black-eyed beauty Malyavina starred in many famous Soviet films. In addition, she was constantly surrounded by talented men whom she married every now and then. However, she never met real happiness - marriage was followed by divorce after divorce, and the long-awaited children of Valentina died.
The actress began to drink with her roommate Stas Zhdanko. Another joint Sabantuy ended in tragedy - Zhdanko was killed in his own apartment. Malyavin was convicted of premeditated murder, although the woman still claims that she is not guilty of anything, and Stas just joked stupidly and stabbed himself to death.
Johnny Depp
- "Alice in Wonderland"
- "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"
- "Edward Scissorhands"
Johnny is an emotional person and it is better not to anger him. Many years ago, Depp met with the famous model Kate Moss, their relationship was bright, but short-lived. The couple constantly quarreled, and during one of such quarrels, the actor blew the hotel room in which they were staying to smithereens. Johnny was arrested, and Kate publicly confessed her love for him and apologized for making him angry.
Nikolay Godovikov
- "Republic of ShKID"
- "Zhenya, Zhenya and Katyusha"
- "White Sun of the Desert"
Russian viewers remember Petrukha very well from the film "White Sun of the Desert", but few people know that the actor who played him has visited places not so remote three times. During filming, props began to disappear from the set, and suspicion fell on Godovikov and his friends. He was registered in the police room. Soon Nikolai was convicted of parasitism, and later he was twice jailed for burglary. In adulthood, Godovikov took up his mind and even returned to the cinema, but the happiness was short-lived - the actor died of oncology.
Nicolas Cage
- "Family man"
- "City of Angels"
- "Without a face"
The famous actor ended up in jail because of his drunken brawl. Nicholas drank heavily at the party and, returning from there, began to sort things out with his wife.

Archil Gomiashvili
- "12 chairs"
- "Mimino"
- "Tragedy of the 20th century"
Some celebrities are somewhat similar to their characters. For example, Archil Gomiashvili, like his hero Ostap Bender, was also an adventurer. He went to prison several times for theft and hooliganism. One of the reasons for serving the sentence was that Archil cut the skin off the seats of the auditorium of the theater in which he served. The enterprising guy sold her to a shoemaker, but soon he was caught and sentenced to two years for what he had done.
Alexey Panin
- "In August 44th"
- "Border: Taiga Romance"
- "DMB"
Alexey Panin continues our photo-list of the actors who were arrested. His name has long been associated more with scandalous antics than with cinema. Alexei was repeatedly detained for hooliganism, personal insults and fights. However, the matter has not yet reached a real prison term.
Al Pacino
- "Godfather"
- "The smell of a woman"
- "Face with a scar"
Al Pacino is perhaps one of the best foreign actors, who is easily given the roles of criminals and bad guys. Perhaps one of the reasons is that he himself has repeatedly had problems with the law. Al Pacino grew up in a poor gangster quarter and repeatedly participated in fights, and in 1961 he was even arrested for illegal possession of weapons. Perhaps he could join the ranks of criminal gangs, if not for the guy's love for art, which, fortunately for the audience, defeated the actor's violent temper.
Valery Nikolaev
- "Terminal"
- "Shirley-myrli"
- "Nastya"
Valery Nikolaev became really popular after the release of the series "Birthday of the Bourgeois", in which he played the main role.

The actor was arrested, after which he paid compensation and stopped drinking.
Matthew McConaughey
- "True Detective"
- Dallas Buyers Club
- "Gentlemen"

During the arrest, marijuana and a number of other illegal substances were found on him. After nine hours at the police station, McConaughey was released.
Anastasia Zavorotnyuk
- "My Fair Nanny"
- "I'm not afraid anymore"
- "Curse of the Sleepers"
Beloved by all "mother Vika" is also not sinless before the law. True, the Russian actress distinguished herself not at home, but in the United States. At the beginning of the 2000s, the actress was selling apartments. The police managed to prove that Zavorotnyuk is guilty of forging documents. She was arrested and deported from the country.
Robert Downey Jr. (Robert Downey Jr.)
- "Sherlock Holmes"
- Chaplin
- "Iron Man"
Both Russian and foreign viewers adore this actor, but not many people know that there were very problematic moments in Robert's life.

Igor Petrenko
- "Driver for Faith"
- "Everyone has their own war"
- "Hero of our time"
Igor does not like to talk about his youth and remember past mistakes, but as a public person he understands that this cannot be avoided.

Georgy Yumatov
- "Officers"
- "The Ballad of a Soldier"
- "Admiral Ushakov"
Soviet audiences fell in love with Yumatov with all their hearts after his impressive performance in the films "Different Fates" and "Officers". Georgy did not graduate from theatrical universities or studios, he was just an insanely talented person and this made his way into big cinema.
However, distinguished by natural irascibility, after a resounding success, the same decline followed - no one wanted to endure Yumatov's scandalous antics. He was remembered only in 1994, when Georgy shot an Azerbaijani janitor from a gun in the heat of a drunken quarrel. The actor was convicted and almost immediately amnestied as a front-line soldier, but worries about what he had done literally killed the actor - he had two strokes in a row, followed by a heart attack.
Shailene Woodley
- "Big Little Lies"
- "The Fault in the Stars"
- "9 kisses"
The Hollywood actress and Golden Globe winner is also one of the stars who have committed offenses. Shailene was arrested along with other organizers of the Dakota Access Pipeline protests.

Wesley Snipes

- "Major League"
- "White people can't jump"
Wesley Snipes is also one of the actors who have been arrested. Moreover, the "Blade" star spent three years of his life in prison for a very serious crime - tax evasion. American law did not forgive the famous actor for hiding funds, and in 2008 he was convicted.

In total, Trejo spent about eleven years in prison, mainly for drug trafficking and hooliganism. Now the actor conducts trainings aimed at the rehabilitation of drug addicts, so that as few people as possible repeat his mistakes and fate.
