about the enduring popularity of Eurovision and why most Americans still haven’t heard of one of the biggest events on TV.It’s kind of delightful to have that responsibility to make the North American continent aware of the biggest TV event on the planet that happens off their shores. It’s much more than just a song contest, really. It’s such an extraordinary pattern of both musical talents and glitz and glamour. It’s a real championing haven for LGBTQ.
So I think it’s more about finding characters within that microcosm, as Will does in figure skating [in “Blades of Glory”] or Nascar [in “Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby”]. He’s not out to take down figure skating or Nascar. He’s looking at finding character parody more than taking down the whole institution.I didn’t have to audition, thankfully. [Director] David Dobkin was aware of my work, and I was a huge Will Ferrell fan growing up.
Your character has an introspective moment at the end when Rachel’s character asks if he’s gay. He responds that he can’t be gay because he’s Russian. IIt’s always meaningful when you’re able to get a message like that in to what is essentially a fun, sweet, silly comedy. It gives Lemtov some grounding, but it’s also based on a horrible truth. There’s some really awful things that are happening in Russia.
Can you rank the following songs from best to worst? “Lion of Love,” “Be Our Guest,” “Double Trouble,” “Evermore” and “Ja Ja Ding Dong.” “Ja Ja Ding Dong” has to be up there. “Lion of Love” I’m deeply fond of, obviously. Oh my god. “Lion of Love” and “Evermore” are probably tied for second. Those are both great soaring baritone ballads written for a voice like mine. “Be Our Guest” is great, but I didn’t sing on that one or “Double Trouble,” but they’re deeply catchy. That’s a hard one. I’ll put those joint third. “Ja Ja Ding Dong” is definitely No. 1.
Awesome film. Sequel please! EurovisionMovie netflix
When I lived in England, I watched every year. Now, I watch on BBC IPlayer. Not all Americans are in clueless about Eurovision.
kbaileyjava2 I remember when Univision used to air a Spanish version of Eurovision's Song Contest called OTI. Less flashy than the Eurovision version, but it was entertaining. Oh, and past Eurovision contests are on YouTube
Especially Ja Ja Ding Dong!
He was so great in this movie.
