After the premiere of Anora, Yura Borisov, who played one of the main roles in the film, began to be invited to interviews by foreign publications more often. As the actor admits, journalists ask him similar questions and he gives the same answers. However, the Interview reporter managed to get specific details from the Russian star.
Borisov explained how the scene in which Mikey Madison slaps him was filmed. As it turned out, the artist asked the girl to hit him really and with all her might. “You could see on the screen that it was real and you could feel the moment. The reason we love videos on the internet and some videos or short films is because they are real. You see, you feel, and within a second you are inside the screen, in the situation. And I liked it when he hit me. “I can bear the pain,” Yura shared.
The actor added that he and Mikey had different methods to prepare for the role. According to him, the girl joined the process with a click only after hearing the command “Engine”. But Borisov cannot do this. “I need time to think, move around and figure out how to do this. Sometimes it takes a long time,” explained the artist.
They also mentioned that Borisov met “Anora” director Sean Baker. Their first meeting took place at the Cannes Film Festival in 2021. A year later, the director called Yura and offered to work together in a new film. “He said, ‘I’m preparing my next script and I have a part for you.’ Do you want to play it? I answered: “Yes.”
