In February, the long-awaited event took place in the life of TV presenter Yuri Gorbunov: he became a father. And in the beginning of autumn one more is expected - the return of the legendary project Dances with Stars (1 + 1), whose unchanged leader was Yuri Gorbunov.

Take us back to the picture, Yura!.

Yura, you were the host of "Dancing with the Stars" 10 years ago. It is interesting to return to a well-known project?.

He, of course, is well-known. But the live broadcast is always something new. And there will be 10 of them! Each - not like each other, unpredictable. It seems to me that a moment has come when "Dances ..." again become relevant. So, we must stir up the public, remember how everything was.

What kind of live broadcasts of past "Dances ..." are especially memorable?.

Basically these were situations where a couple is not ready to go out on the floor - the dress does not fasten or something, and you need to drag the time. And so that everything was within the framework of dances and is associated with specific participants in the project, well, so that the audience understood what is at stake. The direct ether is akin to flying into space: there are no gaps here, it is impossible that something went wrong.

On the floor I had my own place, where I made the connections, and the terrestrial monitor in which I saw myself. And behind their back sat "pozhazhni gosti" with wives, wishing to get into the frame. Sometimes I heard: "Yura, retreat 2 cm to the right". I retreated, and on the monitor a person appeared on my shoulder. Then someone else behind whispered: "No, they do not need to be shown! We are in the frame of "return"! ". (Laughs). ) We then had crazy ratings. You buy products on the Bessarabian market, and you are interrogated there: "Well, how could you drive out that pair? ". Or "How could Chapkis say such things to Ruslan Pisanka? Tell him that the people do not agree. ". Then I realized that it was not just the matter of the "1 + 1" channel or the stars involved in the project, it was the whole country's business. On each participant of the process lies a huge responsible, which means that before you speak or comment on something, you should think very carefully.

For me, "Dancing with the Stars" has always been a holiday. Uneasy, but still a holiday.

For one of the finals, you then even learned the samba ... I danced in the final three seasons.

This time also prepare a surprise for the audience?.

While I did not think about it, but some zest will be necessary. These are the ways outlets are important, it seems to me. At least so that they can get danced and understand the participants: for a week to master the dance, if you are not a professional in this matter, it is unrealistically difficult! And especially to dance on the air, where there is additional tension. In such situations it is necessary to be ready for 100%, and then in the end it will turn out exactly 80% - surely something will come out sideways ... Any innovations will be on the project?.

"Dancing ..." is an international format, but the rights holder allows a little improvise to adapt the show for each country. It is already known that the brightest Ukrainian stars will become participants and jury members of the new season.

I always want to go home The main event in your life this year is the birth of your son.

This is not enough. I want more children!.

Did they represent their fatherhood before Ivan came to the world? What pictures drew the imagination?.

As well as at all, probably: here I hold it on hands, I play, and when he grows up, I bring up. Now Ivan is 4 months old (we call him this only - "Ivan", no "Vanya"), and this is a completely different person compared to how he was born. He already recognizes me, smiles, holds his hand tightly and takes toys. These are such amazing moments of happiness when you realize that everything else is really not important. Often we pay much attention to absolutely unnecessary things. Although the most important thing - here it is, next to.

Baby gives you sleep?.

Like when. But we are already used to. By the way, I, too, tried to present this moment earlier. I thought how it would be - I have an irregular working day, sometimes I come home after midnight, but I have to get up to the baby ... It's okay! It turns out that getting up to your child is not hard. Because it's your little warm lump, your half. He still did not cry, but you already run to him. At me it causes such emotions ... Probably, with the years became too sentimental.

Does Ivan have a regime?.

He, as parents, is a show-business guy: he likes to sleep in the morning, and in the evening he wants to stay longer (laughs). And yet we try to teach the regime - this is both necessary for his health and for others.

Have your more experienced friends given any advice on upbringing?.

Thank God, nothing concrete. Mostly they said: "Guys, you will understand everything yourself". And it happened. Children are very different, like parents, so everything is individually. The experience of our nurse helped us and those three days while we were at the hospital. Well and so ... I went before birth to the courses, I learned something there. Was present at birth. And it turns out that for me everything that concerns the child is understandable and close. Probably, in the past life was an obstetrician. (Laughs). ) But in general, the main thing in education is to love a baby.

Some fathers present at birth immediately lose consciousness.

It's not about me. I was collected, I was not afraid of anything - I did not cut the umbilical cord, nor, oddly enough,. Is it possible to miss these very happy moments?.

What changed in you after the birth of Ivan?.

I want to go home all the time. I have performances, shootings ... But I understand that I need to finish everything quickly - and to the family. And this is not an obligation - they say, since there is a child, be kind to spend an evening with him, and not with friends. No, I want to run to him. It is advisable at such a time that he was still awake and you could play with him.

From any habits had to be abandoned?.

I walked and continued to walk on yoga. Otherwise ... You know, it seems to me that this is more the invention of those who are afraid of having children - they think that life will change, that it will have to be completely rebuilt. Everything can be done, if you want to. For example, a little earlier he got up - and walked with the baby, if you know that you'll be home late. The only thing that changes - you all try to do with love. Everything! And there is a certain responsibility - for their words and deeds.

Well, you probably did not go hunting this year.

Did not go. I do not think that I will go in the near future. And there is no time (this is a seasonal activity, you can not wait for the weekend to hunt), and desires - priorities have changed.

Do you fit us In the family there is some sort of division of responsibilities?.

No. We all - from washing dishes to changing diapers - do with Katya together. Who was the first to succeed - that one gets down to business. And I really like it.

Katia went to work, and worries increased. With whom does Ivan remain?.

With a nanny. We met with a few contenders, and this one was chosen at the same time, without looking at each other and speaking out. Our communication is over - we looked at each other with Katya and said: "You are coming to us". She somehow immediately fell in love. And we met two months before Ivan appeared, and Nadia waited for us all this time. The first two weeks after childbirth did their own thing - during this period they refused to work and were engaged only in their son. Already then the nurse rang: "All, we are waiting for you". Now, by the way, we have two days a week, when we release it. But if the son is with her, I am absolutely calm - I know that they are doing well.

And if you and the child stay together, can you do it?.

Since I can not replace him nursing mother, this we had only once - sat with his son half a day, when Katya stayed on the set. Well, what can I tell you? It was a little nervous. But he did all that was necessary - he fed me a bottle, and put a dry diaper on, and walked with him on the street.

Do grandparents help?.

My parents already, unfortunately, do not. A Katya often come, but we do not strain them with Ivan. This is our child, we need to educate him.

Now you are shooting in the second season of "Selo per million" - playing the role of priest. How is it close to you?.

My character Lubomir is a Greek Catholic, like me. So I know how they behave, how they talk - in this sense, the image is given to me easily.

Moreover, there are no specific scenes (for example, where it is necessary to edit the service) in the series. By the way, I plan to work as a co-producer on the picture "Skazhene vesilya". I want to prove myself 100%.

Earlier you went to Europe to concerts of musicians of world renown. Did you miss a lot of interesting lately?.

Something was - Rolling Stones, Aerosmith. But I waited so long for the child that everything else is nonsense compared to paternity.
