The impersonator likely intentionally changed his image to be less recognizable.
Alla Pugacheva's husband, recognized as a "foreign agent" in Russia, Maxim Galkin shared a batch of fresh photos taken in Central Park in New York. Users on the internet did not recognize the once-popular comedian in Russia in the bearded man wearing a hat. Many internet users noted that the homeless look suits the 49-year-old Galkin very well.
"Who would have thought that a simple hat would turn out to be the best disguise. I would never have recognized you," "Well, handsome!", "I thought he looked like a truck driver," "Age suits him," "Wow! Mad Max," commented users on Galkin's new look.
Judging by the photos, there is no trace left of his former glamour and shine. Galkin, who will celebrate his 50th birthday this year, looks like a rugged man with a working-class profession. Some followers suggested that the impersonator intentionally changed his image to be less recognizable.
It should be noted that the comedian, along with his wife Alla Pugacheva and children, left Russia back in 2022. During his performances, Galkin regularly speaks out sharply about the country where he became one of the most sought-after artists. The couple owns real estate in Cyprus, New York, and Jurmala. Pugacheva's 54-year-old daughter Kristina also lives in America with her family.
Last year, 76-year-old Pugacheva gave a three-hour interview in which she spoke about the reasons for moving abroad. According to the artist, after Maxim Galkin was recognized as a foreign agent, their children Lisa and Harry were bullied by classmates, being called "children of spies." At that time, the comedian was already out of Russia. The second reason for the move, which Pugacheva mentioned, was the singer's health. She needed the help of a doctor who worked in Israel.
