Ilya

Ilya was born in 2004. At the time of filming, he is 16 years old. He is in the 10th grade. Ilya is a tall, handsome, blue-eyed guy, well built. Previously, the hero of our plot dreamed of becoming a police officer in the future, but now he decided that he would be a driver, because he loves cars. In his free time, he works out in the gym or plays football. Ilya is very fond of sports, especially boxing. The boy showed us his skills: excellent possession of the ball, which, due to his high growth, easily throws it into a basketball hoop; interesting and unusual pull-ups on the horizontal bar; exercises on simulators. The boy's most cherished dream is a good family and a happy life with his parents. He believes that it is very important that family members spend time together, live happily and not quarrel. Seven months later, Ilya is already finishing his stay at the boarding school. And we sincerely hope that his dreams will come true and that fate will certainly give him a chance for a happy family life and a bright future!
