Mikhail Efremov, who was released on parole earlier this year, is steadily returning to his craft while keeping his personal life notably more guarded. His longtime friend Ivan Okhlobystin said they hardly speak now despite years of closeness — Efremov is the godfather of the actor’s eldest daughter.According to Okhlobystin, Efremov is brimming with energy and fully absorbed in work. He is already attached to new projects: next year he is expected to appear in a dystopia from director and producer Sergey Kalvarsky, with a script originally written for him. He is also working at the “Masterskaya 12” theater, where a premiere of “Without Witnesses,” based on a screenplay by Nikita Mikhalkov, is scheduled for February 2026. In the production, he will take on an antagonistic role.At the same time, Okhlobystin noted that Efremov has deliberately stepped back from his former social circle. He said the reasons are easy to understand and admitted he prefers not to distract his friend, aware of how hard the road has been. The restraint comes across less as aloofness and more as a conscious boundary while he rebuilds.During Efremov’s incarceration, Okhlobystin publicly supported him and emphasized that the tragic crash was not a reason to abandon their friendship. Now, by all appearances, the actor has chosen quiet and concentration, aiming to start a new chapter without unnecessary attention.For Efremov, restoring himself professionally — and inwardly — seems to come first. Only time will show whether he is ready to return to the old rhythm of communication with those closest to him.
