Andriy Ponomarenko comes from a simple Ukrainian family. The acting talent of the future star of theater and cinema manifested itself in his school years. The turning point that influenced the choice of the artist's career came when the boy was in a summer pioneer camp. There, playing in a theater group, the young man first realized that creativity could become his profession.

However, despite the lack of support, he persistently followed his dream. He entered the Kyiv National University of Theater, Cinema and Television named after Karpenko-Kary. This was the first step on the way to the big stage, where the actor's talent blossomed and led to recognition and popularity in the art world.The university teachers noted the great potential of Andriy Ponomarenko.
