Valuev: "Hollywood gentlemen - cunning guys"

Russian heavyweight Nikolai Valuev said that he considered the proposal to star in the Hollywood blockbuster "X-Men", but he had to abandon this idea because of the selfish plans of the creators of the film.

“Yes, there was a proposal to star in the fifth part of the X -Men blockbuster,” said the boxer in an interview with gzt.ru. “The role is episodic and, I would say, stupid. If you agree, then only for the sake of money, it was difficult to get creative satisfaction. But Hollywood gentlemen are cunning guys. They wanted to get me as an actor, but when promoting the film, we showed me in the process of negotiations, when we showed it, when we showed it. That we see their plans through and through, they somehow got bored immediately.

All this was drawn to the last day - in fact, it was possible to go to the shooting without any contract in hand. As a result, I had to refuse. In America, the perception of people from Russia, in my opinion, remains at the same level. It still seems to them that we are not far bears that can easily be circled around a finger. Such a number did not pass with me. "

Recall that earlier Valuev starred in the Russian film "Stone Bashka", in which he played in the title role.
