I remember Mikhail Baryshnikov mostly from White Nights. He and Gregory Hines did some terrific dancing in that movie. Great to see him pursuing his craft.
Coincidence?🤔 In the other interview about Marcel the Shell, they mention actress Isabella Rossellini playing the role of Marcel’s grandmother. In White Nights (1985) she played the wife of Gregory Hines’ character.😌
So refreshing to see this true, beloved, artist still practicing his true craft, performance ...such a beautiful soul! And still when you see him dance, it takes your breath away...
*SIR Baryshnikov , when I was a little girl taking ballet lessons I didn't have images of ballerina's on pointe to dream upon.. I had photographs of you leaping so high!* Always a fan, I absolutely loved his answer when asked how difficult it was to defect. Without pausing he said it was easier than Ukraine refugees have it. To know that as a celebrity, as a well known artist seeking asylum would be one thing but knowing what the Ukraine people have to do is another. Such a soft spoken and insightful gentleman!!
So many tears for the Ukrainian people, and so many for the russian people. Neither asked for this, nor did they orchestrate it. Thank God we have those like Misha who remind us there is still humanity in the world. Спасибо, Михаил!
I was fortunate enough to see his production of 'The Cherry Orchard' and it was amazing. First theater anything for me since big rona rolled into town. What a gift
WITHOUT GIVING MY AGE, I REMEMBERED WHEN HE DEFECTED, A BRAVE AN GIFTED MAN. SO MUCH TALENT WE ARE BLESSED SADNESS OF THE OPPRESTED IN THE WORLD.

Always a pleasure to see an interview with Misha. I've loved him since seeing White Nights in 1985. Such a passionate, generous, witty, humble man. Hope to see him perform on stage one day soon. 🙏
I took class at age 8, and followed ballet and was so happy to see him dance live 3 or 4 times in Los Angeles. After one matinee the bus was waiting for the cast. Misha got on bus with his young daughter, we had a conversation with our faces and eyes. My knees were so weak, we are the same age and love ballet. I was privileged to communicate with him silently, and my camera was out of film. So I have no proof, except in my heart. I hope he sees this and remembers me too. ❤
It would be good for Americans to repeat Mikhail's phrase: "It is not a Russian war, it is Putin's war." We need to be careful about that, because all Russians are not like Putin.
I felll in love with Michael when I saw him in a show with the phenominal Liza & MB on Broadway, & again in White Knights with the great Gregory Hines. Congrats Mikail for your courage to speak up here.
Yes I also know him from the movie “white nights”, one of my best loved movies! After that I became bedazzled with his style and leaps as I looked him up online. I also left Holland to immigrate to Australia 50 years ago. We are the same age!
I know Baryshnikov from his illustrious time on stages in New York during my dance training years. He was an incredible dancer, absolutely incredible. He is a dance legend, still living his artistry. I would always be interested to hear his political thoughts and would watch him on stage, whatever he plays, anytime. He is an extraordinary artist.
No offense implied whatsoever to Mikhail Baryshnikov but, can’t help notice how much Michael Douglas now looks like him & vice-versa… dido on ‘no’ offense directed towards Michael Douglas either. In fact, if there’s any remote chance of a movie based on Mikhail B., Michael D. really should be casted!
@@vitiachao9765 Wow! To know that is incredible. So many wonderful, fantastic dancers, MUSICIANS, COMPOSERS, writers in the World .....so utterly, heartbreakingly sad to see what is being done to the Ukrainians and also to the Russian people. Why does Russia attract such despots as Stalin, Lenin and Putin....?
I arrived in the United States on January 3, 1966. I fled communist Cuba. I feel exactly the same way as Mikhail Baryshnikov and so many others who found freedom in America. It is the best nation in the world. I am very grateful.
He had a such big success with all his charisma and professionalism because the school was RUSSIAN! Even he doesn’t like or like it. The greatest ballet dancers are all Russians. Period
What's up with this "Marcel" nonsense?! Who cares about that?! So annoying. I thought this was supposed to be an interview with Baryshnikov, what a disappointing video.
You said about the war in Ukraine in 1974! Are you insane?! At this time Ukraine was a state of the United States of Soviet Republics! Learn history! Don't be so neglected!
Wonderful dancer but he doesn’t know anything about modern Russia. He has not been there for 50 years ! What a nonsense he’s telling here about a world of fear or Russian tanks targeting the Baltic states?! Misha, wake up ! The USSR is over. I feel very sorry for him.
@@lolasmith2002 you don’t want to know what is really going on and feel safe believing your media. I can’t say that Russian media are 100% truthful, but at least we can check both western and Russian news to get the overall understanding of what might be happening at the moment.

Recently rewatched that classic. Amazing movie. Two legendary dancers.

@@IndomitableT Isabella is such a wonderful actress.
He has no peer. He is Perfection, and quite a man.
Awesome interview! Thank you so much. Have loved Misha since 1977 when I saw him dance in NYC. A very gifted and good man.
Arguably the best dancer of our generation. Baryshnikov never ceases to amaze me, astonishingly talented and a quality human being.🙏🏻
Yes, I totally agree with you. He is an incredible dancer, who manifests humility and goodness in his personality and gives so much to others.
So refreshing to see this true, beloved, artist still practicing his true craft, performance ...such a beautiful soul! And still when you see him dance, it takes your breath away...
I've seen him dance in person 4 times and he is literally breath taking.
I remember weeping watching him dance.

“I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to to dance better than myself.”

The greatest of all time a legend and inspiration and a beauty soul ❤
Such a graceful man...in word snd dance. Lovely interview.
So many tears for the Ukrainian people, and so many for the russian people. Neither asked for this, nor did they orchestrate it. Thank God we have those like Misha who remind us there is still humanity in the world. Спасибо, Михаил!

MY SENTIMENT!
Baryshnikov is to dance what Bruce Lee was to fighting arts...Charisma, perfect technique, he has it all
Always a pleasure to see an interview with Misha. I've loved him since seeing White Nights in 1985. Such a passionate, generous, witty, humble man.
Hope to see him perform on stage one day soon. 🙏
I watched him in Metamorphosis in the 80’s in NY. He was extraordinary. He looks like he can still dance beautifully!
I like this man.
We needed more of Baryshnikov's interview 🙏🏻
An amazing artist -- dancer and actor. My bet is he also writes and paints. All respect.
Love that he loved Cagney, one of the greats!
Mikhail Baryshinkov looks great at 75 years of age. What a fabulous dancer 🕴🏻

Mikhail Baryshnikov is an incredible dancer, an excellent actor, and…he is still foxy!😍
His presence and spirit is still so beautiful. 😍
It would be good for Americans to repeat Mikhail's phrase: "It is not a Russian war, it is Putin's war." We need to be careful about that, because all Russians are not like Putin.
A lot of Russians support Putin and support the invasion. Watch 1420 interviews.
I am so grateful Mikhail stood up for my country, I love his artistry, and I wouldn't be able to bare the betrayal. Thankfully, he didn't disappoint.
I felll in love with Michael when I saw him in a show with the phenominal Liza & MB on Broadway, & again in White Knights with the great Gregory Hines. Congrats Mikail for your courage to speak up here.
A talent beyond words. He is a treasure.
I love how he said, “I could not remain silent anymore.”
Wasn't he also in a movie with Gregory Hines? I liked that movie.
Yes; "White Nights." Great movie!
Yes I also know him from the movie “white nights”, one of my best loved movies! After that I became bedazzled with his style and leaps as I looked him up online. I also left Holland to immigrate to Australia 50 years ago. We are the same age!
Remains true to himself ...
Solid Dude.
White Nights was a great movie that he acted and danced in.
, I like Barishnikov very much and respect him 👏
One look at the thumbnail and I thought, this guy could play attorney general Merrick Garland.
I adore Mikhail Baryshnikov!!! ♥
Baryshnikov is not Ucranian. He was born in Riga, Latvia, in 1948 while still part of the URSS.
So much respect
Why did you interrupt Baryshnikov with that other trivial stuff?
Came for the ballet stayed for the shell 🤗
AKA Russian Michael Douglas
You see it too huh? 😄😄
My thought exactly
The Michael Douglas's grandparents were from the Mogilev Governorate of the Russian Empire.
He is a wonderful dancer and a good man. He sounds of wisdom.
I know Baryshnikov from his illustrious time on stages in New York during my dance training years. He was an incredible dancer, absolutely incredible. He is a dance legend, still living his artistry. I would always be interested to hear his political thoughts and would watch him on stage, whatever he plays, anytime. He is an extraordinary artist.
Weird how there are 2 different unrelated stories in this video
It was horrible!

Douglas cannot dance.
@@mycat2230 😳🤣 I didn’t think of THAT factor… CGI or Stunt Double? Hollyweird… Lol

Michael Douglas was MUCH more handsome than him when he was younger and I don’t see any similarity now either.
White Nights - great movie!
🙏
Freedom IS America!
Enjoyed
What a brave young man and certainly still brave to speak truth lay about Putin war which defines what most believe
If you’re a dancer and they asked you what is your “real job” is - don’t worry, there was someone asking Baryshnikov the same question 🤦🏻♀️
You forgot “White Nights”
I love Misha. ❤️
Hello have a good day!!!!
Sorry to hear the sweet couple got divorced!!!!!!!!!!! What a shame!
Mikhail Baryshnikov defected from the KIROV Ballet, not the BOLSHOI as you reported.
I arrived in the United States on January 3, 1966. I fled communist Cuba. I feel exactly the same way as Mikhail Baryshnikov and so many others who found freedom in America. It is the best nation in the world. I am very grateful.
Mikhail looks very much like Michael Douglas!
I loved him in 'Sex And The City.' ❤
Ugh his character was awful.
@@Gemmarose9012 I know, but I liked him anyway.
❤
I don't like your format showing two completely different stories. Just show one at a time It is disjointed and makes no bloody sense.
I watched. One played, then the next one played. No soup for you.
Gosh, you seem disappointed with this disjointed posting. Thanks for letting us know. From whatever senses you bleed, may it never be humor.
But each had separate introductions? I suppose you don't like stuff like the news, huh? Talk about disjointed 🥴
Actually three was split up. Perhaps you didn't watch the whole thing......
They were split up
Didn't realize that Leslie Stahl was part of this segment - how unfortunate.
He has never lost his Russian accent
Похож на Майкла Дугласа.
Не льстите Дугласу
Я его вообще не люблю. Просто внешне на заставке Очень похож! 😝
He had a such big success with all his charisma and professionalism because the school was RUSSIAN! Even he doesn’t like or like it. The greatest ballet dancers are all Russians. Period
I thought it was Michael Douglas on the thumbnail! 😂
He looks a bit like Garland.
He looks like Attorney General Merrick Garland.
What's up with this "Marcel" nonsense?! Who cares about that?! So annoying. I thought this was supposed to be an interview with Baryshnikov, what a disappointing video.
legally blonde...wow wow wow....
Covered
who don't want go back in Russia? You need be not normal then...I watching my dream and just saw one way- go back in Russia.
I confused him with Merrick Garland.
Still waiting for Stahl to apologize to Trump…..tick, tick, tick
I wonder what is the view of Baryshnikov on the war in Iraq and Libia, bombing of Serbia? Does he know what americans were doing in Syria?
Those immoral acts by America in no way justify Russia's immoral invasion of Ukraine.
@@laurie9557 what do you believe are the reasons of Russia’s actions?
You said about the war in Ukraine in 1974! Are you insane?! At this time Ukraine was a state of the United States of Soviet Republics! Learn history! Don't be so neglected!
See B. S.
Wonderful dancer but he doesn’t know anything about modern Russia. He has not been there for 50 years ! What a nonsense he’s telling here about a world of fear or Russian tanks targeting the Baltic states?! Misha, wake up ! The USSR is over. I feel very sorry for him.
You are right USSR is Over. “Modern” Russia is even worse. I feel sorry for you, if you can not see this simple Fact.

Oh dear Heavens...genius to New York liberal -aaaAAAAGH!!! He's staying with the money!
