Ján Koleník (46) is among the most sought-after actors of this time. He started his career in theater in 2004 after graduating from university. That same year, he won the award for best acting performance. He first appeared on TV screens in the series Office in the Rose Garden. After that, the offers for various series and films started pouring in.
However, Koleník guards his privacy. But from time to time he makes an exception. In the Guardian Angels show, he talked about a terrifying experience when he was still a child. When he was 13 years old, his father persuaded him to travel with him to Moscow. “Come, it will be the experience of your life,” his father, who was an engineer, told him. Koleník didn’t want to, but in the end he nodded at the offer. “And indeed she was,” he revealed.
Apparently, a guardian angel was really standing by him at that time. They came to Russia at the time when the parliament was being fought in Moscow and the violence claimed 187 lives. “We were there at the time of the coup and it was interesting and maybe a guardian angel stood by us when we went shopping right between the bullets. At that time the situation was very tense because they were shelling their White House.” he mentioned.
Despite the dangerous situation, Janko’s father decided that he wanted to make his wife happy. “We went to buy my mother some dresses for the prom, and this was my father’s heroic act, that he chose to make my mother happy. I think that’s why the dress is still hanging in my mother’s closet.” added the actor.
