One of our most talented and beloved actorsDear Zika Todorović he rarely talks about his private life in public, but now in a show after a long time he opened his soul and talked about the most painful topics. After a sincere conversation in the first part of the confession about the loss of his three-year-old son Dejan, the actor recalled his childhood, youth, military days, actively engaged in music in EKVhis first steps as an actor, his parents and other interesting situations he went through.
He was only three years old when he got his first role in the movie “There is love, there is no love”… which he does not remember at all, as well as his parents’ divorce. He was equally happy with his mother Snežana Matić and father Bora Todorović, because he received their love equally and in large quantities. Bora wanted him to succeed him in acting, and in his youth he gave him love advice.
“When I talk to some friends, mostly their parents were shy. Let me say that Bora taught me in advance how everything should be done. He gave me various sexual advice. He was telling me how to handle these fish and with those fish”, smiled Žika as he recalled in the show “Una, due, tre”.
Before he started acting professionally, he was the drummer of the rock group Ekatarina Velika. That famous composition is still followed by controversial stories, both about the creation of the songs and their lives, and according to the claims of many people, most of the musicians died as a result of heroin consumption. According to him, the older members looked after Fr Ziki not to reach for vices like them, so they didn’t let him tryas he says, not a bit.
“They looked after me a lot, I was six years younger than them, they were in ’59, ’58, and I was in ’65. They didn’t give me a dime.They took care of me because they already had bad experiences with previous drummers, so I wouldn’t want to talk much about it, it’s a difficult topic for me. I mostly avoid it, but I want to say that they looked after me like a little child,” said Srđan in the show “Una, due, tre”, and when asked if he was grateful to them for that, he replied: “I wouldn’t be alive!“, said Srđan, who avoids speaking on this topic.
Todorović was repeatedly without engagement and money, and when he didn’t have any, as he discovered, he borrowed from his father, and after Bora’s death, Dragan Bjelogrlić stepped in to help him. He does not want to do acting because he is bored with it and would like to try something else. He was also part of the jury in a talent show program, together with Ana Nikolić and Stefan Đurić Rasta. Many were surprised because they could not imagine Žika in the same project with the singer and the rapper. When asked what he talked about with Rasta when they met, his answer was: “About vutra (laughter). That was before his arrest,” the actor revealed.
Žika started playing music during high school, in addition to Ekatarina Velika, he also played drums in the band Disciplina Kicme, while he gained his first musical experiences in the band Radnička kontrolla, and then played in the group Bezobrazno zeleno. When he finished the fourth grade, he joined the army. Although he did not plan to study acting, he took the entrance exam at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts. He recited Philip Roth’s Portnoy’s Disease, about a man obsessed with masturbation, and wrote it down the first time. It is interesting that the reason he decided to go to college was that his studies allowed him to take seven days off from the army. Since he liked movies a lot, he realized in his first year of studies that he wanted to become a movie actor.
In 1998, Žika met Ana Jovićević, a student of the Faculty of Philology at Ada Bojana, who is originally from Cetinje. They soon started dating, and the actor was sure from the very beginning that he had found the woman of his life. In 2004, they got married in her family house in Cetinje.
