He's Billy Elliot to me. 😊
Bello il film bravi tutti ma la scena finale è da vedere e rivedere
I was lucky to see her dance Ondine, and she was just incredible. As was noted, she was incredibly musical, and in addition, she displayed such imagination. I wasn't that keen to see Ondine, and just went because the opportunity was there. My expectations were low. I came away thinking I had seen a dancer of genius in a very surprising work.
Me too!
Que hombre más hermoso
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏
A Man with just enough ego to succeed and little enough ego to Be a wonderful Man. I recall Thomas Allan saying to us as new vocal recruits at RAM, that what we needed to succeed in the profession were about a dozen things, only one of which was talent. Adam is the perfect expression of that truth. Not the most technically great dancer perhaps, but easy to work with, adaptable, ambitious, reliable, courageous, generous, humble, kind and also incredibly handsome! ☺️
Now for something a bit controversial maybe? In my view, the actor who played Billy Elliott's father in the film should have won the BAFTA for Best Actor for that year and not Jamie Bell. As good as Jamie was, I thought that Gary Lewis played his part exceptionally well. I immediately thought the choice smacked of a political decision in as much as maybe the Academy were trying to encourage the younger generation into the acting world and by choosing Bell for the winner of the award, that would send a signal saying that you too can achieve this sort of goal in life. Those are my thoughts regarding this anyway.
He's just an amazing man, saw him at the Theatre Royal Newcastle.. and Billy Elliot was the classic cry moment..
Adam was amazing in Singin' in the rain. Great musical!
What an amazingly, intuitive interviewer, she really gets into the jist of the man, beautiful.
I saw Swan Lake in London with Adam Cooper back in the day and the whole thing was the most marvellous magical thing I'd ever seen before or since. Everything about the production was absolutely superb - the set, the costumes, the choreography, the dancers and, of course, the music. Those who didn't see it missed a treat of a lifetime.
I wish we have more
Excellent interview. Thank you!!
Magical dancer.
He has been the biggest figure in classical history I can watch him over and over and over and my feelings and emotions always grow higher every time
❤
58.20 where the interviewer talks about the effect of lock-down on the performing arts community is just chilling. One of my children was a singer in the same position and had to look around and think "what now?" also with a family to support. He's now working in IT and has not gone back to opera. Just how many freelancers had to step away from their chosen profession for which they had trained hard for so many years?
Yes, chilling. And then today’s hostility to performing arts careers. I hope young dance and music performers of talent will barge through these discouraging times, bringing audiences with them, possibly in new ways.
That really has affected me. I was a Singer myself. I gave up because it wasn’t the life for me and I needed a family. To think of being in a position where I was forced to give it up against my will because of lock down…utterly heartbreaking..
Was such a great scene..he was such a pretty man.
Loved it ❤❤
I love the time we used to talk every night...I'm in Spain and he in England...we need to stop our love because was impossible...this was about 3 years ago...but was incredible romantic...he used to sing for me about our impossible love...😢
? 😵💫
Das Ende der Szene ist auch meine Lieblingsszene,ich spüre alle Gefühle in jeder Pore,durch jede Ader und habe überall ein Schauer durch meinen Körper. Einfach, Magic! Dankeschön für diesen Film und aller Mitwirkenden,ihr habt eure Rolle perfekt dargestellt. Die Emotionen des Vaters wurden exzellent gespielt. Dafür gebührt euch eine Auszeichnung 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Absolute legend.....Black Swan solo will NEVER be forgotten.....beyond words.
I hate your wife, Adam. That lucky biatch.
u mADE englis
Best part ever 😢
He's GORGEOUS!
Billy said when he’s dancing, he’s like a bird, he’s flying. And he did.
The end of Billy Elliot the leap that Adam Cooper performs takes my breath away what an amazing dancer one of my favourite movie moments of all time 3:58
One of the very best movie closes of all time. Always brings a tear to the eye.
Thank you, creator of this channel, for uploading this video and also for a very good work (timeline, good quality of video). Please continue.
So this is who was in the last scene (one of my favorite) in "Billy Elliot" movie. Very interesting interview, thank you for uploading. And I like the interviewer, she did it very well.
His performance is SL is one I’ll never forget. I literally couldn’t speak for about half an hour. It was the most stunning theatre/ballet I’ve ever seen.
He's my friend's dad :-:
Is he this handsome in person?
yeah i guess@@blue3381
This movie is phenomenal. Superb.
Wonderful dancer. Interesting person. So happy I saw him do the Swan.
I have a granddaughter that entered live performances. At a tiny 4 feet 8 in. tall, she had more zill and passion than energy to support it. She would walk off stage at the end of a perveance, in perfect grace, just out of sight, and collapse. She would have to be physically revived. If anything in the performance had been off by seconds she wouldn't have made the curtain. She showed me what these performers endure to make it look easy.
The end of the movie "Billy Elliot" always makes me cry.
Me too
Me too ❤
And get goose bumps.
Same
I do the silly laugh cry, too! Can’t help it. That music swells, tho
MUY EMOCINANTE!!!!!!!
The 1911 looks like a Isadora Duncan influence. She did go to Russia and taught for awhile.
I love that the Trocadero actually does the real choreography of the Ballets. I’ll never forget seeing Spring Waters and the 6’ ballerina ran across the stage to jump into the arms of a 5’4” partner and he took one look at her and ran for it. This is a great interview.
What a lovely man inside and out. So humble, erudite, complimentary and appreciative of those who encourage and criticised him along his life's path. Hats off to Ismene Brown who knew when to let the man talk and not put words into his mouth. Most enjoyable. (Armchair You Tuber 73 in South Africa)
And very sexy...I know...
He is very handsome, a real man, a sexy man, and I love him so much...
N'étant pas un angliciste chevronné, j'eusse aimé que cet entretien fût au moins sous-titré. Merci quand même.
Vous pouvez activer les paramètres de surtitre dans la fenêtre de visualisation RUclips et je suppose qu'ils seront par défaut dans votre langue maternelle.
@@balletlegendsinterviewed Merci, je l'ignorais, c'est très aimable.
Beautiful, beautiful Adam 🎼🎶
Did not realise that these interviews were so new.
She is such a good interviewer.
Such informative and fascinating interviews
I saw Adam many times in the theater and met him a few times. A nicer,sweeter man you will never meet
A fascinating and compelling interview.
