Early life
Łukasz Nowicki was born in 1973 in Kraków, the son of actor Jan Nowicki and his wife, Barbara Sobotta, a European athletics champion.[3] At the beginning of their relationship, they did not take it seriously. After the birth of Łukasz, Jan's attitude towards the family changed; he became increasingly disengaged and was often absent, leaving Łukasz and his mother alone. After a few years, the couple separated. Łukasz's mother subsequently raised him on her own. According to Łukasz Nowicki's testimony, he was a victim of physical abuse by his father, stating that he remembers him primarily for "the beatings."[4] From a young age, he was immersed in an environment filled with theatre and art, which influenced his decision to pursue a career in the arts.[5]
Łukasz Nowicki has a half-sister on his father's side named Sajana Nowicka, born in 1973.[6]
In high school, he was different from the rest of the kids as he had a good plans for the future, he wanted to become an actor. He had the interest to attend many theaters as a kid that lead to these interests.[7]
After finishing high school, he was admitted to the Ludwik Solski State Theatre School in Kraków where he got in without any problem, graduating in 1998. He possessed a strong drive and was eager to maximize his playing time.[7] While still a student, he made his on-screen debut with a minor role in the film The Seventh Room. That same year, he appeared alongside his father and Artur Żmijewski in the movie Rainy Soldier.[3]
Łukasz received his diploma two years later, and his graduation performance was Three Sisters, based on Anton Chekhov’s play.[3]
Personal life
In August 2003, Nowicki married Polish-Czech singer Halina Mlynkova in Trans-Olza. Łukasz converted from Catholicism to Evangelicalism in order to marry Halina.[8][9] They have one son together. The couple divorced after 9 years of marriage.[10]
Nowicki's second marriage was to Olga Paszkowska, a psychotherapist, yoga instructor, and actor. The couple married in 2016, with the ceremony taking place in Bali, Indonesia. They have one daughter, Józefina Nowicka, born in 2018.[11][12]
