Such a rich, eloquent intelligent conversation. I use the word conversation, because it was a sharing and so much more than the more common shallow interviews you often watch. When two intelligent, people talk about a subject they are passionate about- that is when the magic happens.
I agree totally with your comment. This is normal, realistic, and honest. Modern day, corporate interviews are driven by filth and propaganda. This was amazing, enjoyable, and totally magic. 👍
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
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.
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.
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)
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.
I took ballet for eight yrs and have a deep love of dance. This story brought tears because the decision by the father was agonising against how certain people viewed boys dancing as a profession. In all the years I was dancing I saw one boy there. Today it’s different as society still has a problem but more of both genders accepting this profession. I have watched this movie numerous times and find things new every-time I watched it.
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 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
I remember the young Adam from Open classes in Covent Garden, and one evening at the Coliseum he went out of his way to greet me when I was feeling exhausted and unimportant. He always had a supportive attitude. I will never forget his black swan solo in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake.
Oh no. I knew what "that scene" was going to be. I'm still teared up from seeing it appear yesterday. Somewhere in the top 5 scenes in all of cinematic history.
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.
Schwanensee war zuerst interessant für mich wegen Tschaikowskys Musik❤ Aber das Ende von "Billy Elliot" machte mich neugierig auf die Version in der Adam Cooper tanzte. Diese Federhosen sind wirklich eine interessante Idee und er tanzte fantastisch. Ich sah das ganze Ballett im Fernsehen und war begeistert. Ausserdem ist AC ziemlich sexy😛. Er müsste jetzt (2024) 53 sein.
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.
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.

Idealidad
Gives me goosebumps
@@mercedesalcazar8585
I agree. And he does have the most beautiful feet.👣
omg he is amazing and the last scene in Billy Elliot makes me cry every time
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.
One of the very best movie closes of all time. Always brings a tear to the eye.
Es imposible no emocionarse con la última escena del salto, una maravilla.

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 agree, Swan Lake was the best thing I have ever seen in the theatre and Adam is still the best Swan.
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...
Well said.
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
Was absolutely entranced when I saw Adam in Billly Elliot it was fabulous thank you it was really wonderful 🎉🎉🎉🎉
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 just an amazing man, saw him at the Theatre Royal Newcastle.. and Billy Elliot was the classic cry moment..
I saw Adam many times in the theater and met him a few times. A nicer,sweeter man you will never meet
I remember the young Adam from Open classes in Covent Garden, and one evening at the Coliseum he went out of his way to greet me when I was feeling exhausted and unimportant. He always had a supportive attitude. I will never forget his black swan solo in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake.
I remember him from those open classes too!
the Lady interviewing is wonderful Bravo
Thank you, creator of this channel, for uploading this video and also for a very good work (timeline, good quality of video). Please continue.
He's GORGEOUS!
😂🎉❤
Utterly fascinating. Thank you. Robert, UK.
Oh no. I knew what "that scene" was going to be. I'm still teared up from seeing it appear yesterday. Somewhere in the top 5 scenes in all of cinematic history.
This is absolutely Amazing, it sums the whole film up 👏BRAVO 👏👏👏👏👏👏
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

Absolutely agree
Agree!!
Oh my goodness. I just watched a few scenes and thought exactly the same. The young Jamie Bell was excellent but his dad was another level.
You could feel the pain and conflict that the father was suffering. Great performance.
@showmoke Totally agree! He’s also great as Colum MacKenzie in Outlander. 😁
A fascinating and compelling interview.
Wonderful dancer. Interesting person. So happy I saw him do the Swan.

Adam was amazing in Singin' in the rain. Great musical!
Gary Lewis was real, heartbreaking, the dad who loves his children, the man we all want as Dad
This movie is phenomenal. Superb.
What an amazingly, intuitive interviewer, she really gets into the jist of the man, beautiful.
Adorabile film e grazie ad Adam!!!
Was such a great scene..he was such a pretty man.
Billy said when he’s dancing, he’s like a bird, he’s flying. And he did.
Cena icônica. Jamais esquecerei! Kisses from Brasil 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great interview, from oregon USA

I wish we have more
Bello il film bravi tutti ma la scena finale è da vedere e rivedere

Loved it ❤❤
Best part ever 😢
Beautiful, beautiful Adam 🎼🎶
He's my friend's dad :-:

Interesting that he said that there was no sexuality because the swans were "creatures". Has he never heard of Leda and the Swan?
But in Leda and the swan, the swan was Zeus/Jupiter disguised as a swan in order to rape Leda. In Swan Lake, the swans are just swans.
@@christinelapping7903 Perhaps but do you think swans don't have sex? Immaculate conception?
N'étant pas un angliciste chevronné, j'eusse aimé que cet entretien fût au moins sous-titré. Merci quand même.
