On September 23, the fifth episode of the new season "Dances with stars" will be on the air, in which new dance performances will be presented. The audience has long attributed novels to some of the participants in star dances. So, the young singer Michele Andrade decided to dot the i's.
Let us remind you that it went on air last Sunday. The beauty Michele Andrade conquered the audience and the judges with her incendiary and. But besides the singer's bright choreography, her fans are interested in the question, what is the relationship between her and?
Michele Andrade, a participant of the updated project "Dances with stars", in her recent interview for elle.ua for the first time commented on rumors about an affair with a parquet competitor Irakli Makatsaria. When asked whether it is true that Irakli Makatsaria supports her in a special way on the project, the singer replied:
Do not be afraid of gossip when you know the truth. Like any girl, I am pleased with the attention from a man.
The singer also said if her heart is free now:
Now I am focused on creativity and "Dancing with the Stars". But if a decent guy appears on my way, my heart is open. The world around me is changing, I am changing, I am becoming more demanding of myself and those who are around. But the main thing that I appreciate is sincerity.
In addition, Michele Andrade spoke frankly about the competition on the dance floor "Dances with stars":
I do not like the word "competition": it immediately makes me negative. I can say that there are strong participants who show growth with each broadcast. I also consider our pair to be strong and worthy of the final. Leaders will be determined with each next broadcast. It would be interesting for me to be in the final with Anita Lutsenko, Irakli Makatsaria and Igor Lastochkin.
Recall that rumors about the romance of Irakli Makatsaria and Michele Andrade have been circulating for a long time, since the first broadcast, in which the singer said that she would not mind talking to Irakli, but he should come to her first. In turn, the Georgian handsome man called Michelle a very pretty girl with an incredibly cool character. To find out what kind of singer is by nature, Irakli planned to talk to her better. At the same time, the participant reported that now his heart is free and open to new relationships.
How the relations between the stars will develop, and what numbers they will show, see in the next broadcasts "Dances with stars".
Bachelor Irakli is the main participant of the 6th season of the Ukrainian version of the popular show "The Bachelor". But what is he, the prince, for whose heart so many girls had to fight?
The American franchise "The bachelor" has become very popular all over the world. appeared not only on Russian television, but also on Ukrainian. Irakli Makatsaria became the hero of the 6th season of the beloved television show. He was born on March 24, 1985 in the city of Batumi.
From early childhood, the boy demonstrated his leadership qualities, enjoyed authority among friends and classmates. Many were sure that he would go far and be able to reach heights. And so it happened. Over the past 15 years, the man has been living in Batumi, running his own business. He is the owner of Maq Entertainment.
The man was educated in the United States, after which he returned to Tbilisi in order to graduate from the university. Throughout his life, a man managed to work in a variety of areas. He became famous in a stellar get-together, worked in the advertising business, construction, and even was associated with banking.
Makatsaria assures that family and traditions are very important to him. He loves family holidays and would very much like his entire large family to gather at one festive table in the future for such holidays as Christmas, Easter, New Year.
Irakli is sure that today he is fully ready to become a husband and a father. In addition, the young man assures that he will not be upset at all if his betrothed is already with the child. Since this obviously will not interfere with the relationship.
Irakli Makatsaria - participation of the Ukrainian Bachelor
The bachelor admits that participation in this kind of TV show is a non-standard test for him and at times it was not only interesting for him, but actually difficult. But despite this, the man was ready to go all the way. As the participant himself says, he believed that this project would really help him find true love.
Irakli himself believes that he does not need an ideal girl, and he is not going to describe what she should be. He is simply suitable for the one with whom he will be warm, comfortable and who will understand him.
Anna Kalina, the project manager, admits that at first she doubted the sincerity of Irakli's intentions. Since she was sure that this is a person who is not at all deprived of female attention, and, perhaps, this will affect his attitude towards the participants. However, she was wrong. Irakli was very caring and kind to the girls. Therefore, he managed to win the hearts of not only the participants, but also a multimillion audience.
As Irakli himself says, he has been preparing to participate in the project for a long time. He looked at several previous seasons and paid special attention to the ceremony of roses. The man was convinced that the hardest thing is to say goodbye to someone. Therefore, in turn, he tried to make the moment of farewell to any of the applicants the least traumatic for her.
Despite the fact that Irakli often has to take part in various projects as a producer, participation in the show was a test for him. He says:
The complexity of the project lies directly in the fact that the whole story develops around you - the main character, and therefore you need to tune in, pull yourself together, not only not to lose your head, but also to be as natural as possible.
Irakli admits that after having watched all the issues, he was convinced that his intuition did not let him down. He really was able to weed out applicants who were affectionate, kind, "white and fluffy" in front of him, but in fact revealed their true selves to other participants.
How did the bachelor's parents react to the choice of Irakli?
It is worth noting that Irakli's parents accepted the choice of a bachelor. The man claims that at first it was very difficult for them to communicate with the applicants, how to evaluate them either, since mom
The opinion of the family is of great importance for Irakli
and dad were quite inhibited. Indeed, in the same room with them were not only the participants, but the entire film crew.
But the bachelor's mother quickly pulled herself together, as she realized that now is a very important moment and in no case can it be wrong. Irakli's relatives were honest with both the participant and the girls, supported the man's choice.
Irakli admits that, of course, the opinion of his relatives is very important for him, because his family is close and dear people. But at the same time, the choice had to be made all the same for him. After all, not them, but he would have to live with the future winner. Therefore, and even if his choice would not please the relatives, the man would try to explain to them that it is with this girl that he feels good.
Irakli had a really warm relationship with Alena. Many fans of the popular project were very happy that the young people managed to keep their love after the project. For a whole year, the lovers delighted their fans with joint photographs, went on vacation, and attended social events.
Exactly one year after the end of the project, Alena announced that they were diverging. The girl noted that she had been preparing for this decision for more than one month and finally risked breaking the union. Such a decision of her beloved touched Irakli to the depths of her soul.
It is worth noting that information appeared on the network that even before the break, Irakli allowed himself to go on vacation with another finalist of the 6th season of the Bachelor project - Anetti. It is possible that this also became the reason that the young people broke up.
To date, neither Alena nor Irakli comment on the current situation. The only thing, the partner thanked the girl for all the wonderful moments that were in their relationship and said that he did not regret anything, since it was a great time.
So ended another fairy tale that began on the Bachelor project. Unfortunately, these participants did not manage to keep their feelings. It remains to be hoped that the next heroes of the popular TV project will be able to become happy and keep their love.
After the first broadcast of "Dancing with the Stars" on "1 + 1" Irakli predicted a victory in the project. As expected, he ended up in the final, but it is completely unfair, according to his fans,. Three days after the announcement of the results of the show, we meet with Irakli at the hotel, where he has just finished photographing for another publication. There is not a trace of fatigue on his face, although he immediately admits that he has not yet managed to physically recover, and there is still a lot of work ahead on new projects.
Anna Ivanova: Why do you think you failed to win twice in the show "Dancing with the Stars": first in Georgia, then in Ukraine? Although both times the cup was at arm's length.
I didn't win - it's not about me. Neither in Georgia nor in Ukraine did I come out of the project defeated. I am not saying this to console myself, because I do not mean the show, but the dances, in which I won. Moreover, if we summarize the jury's assessments throughout the season, then I have a very large lead over the other finalists.
THEM. I myself did not count - my dad loves to understand all the details very much. He told me that with Lesya Nikityuk we had a gap of 100-something points, and with Igor Lastochkin - 50. In no case do I have any offense, especially since I love Igor, Ilona, Lesya, and to whom the cup will be handed over was not so important to me. I didn’t come to the project for a cup. The love and support of the audience that I feel today is much more important.
A. I. Why did you need to participate in the show?
THEM. I really love dancing, for me it is a way of self-expression. I consider myself a closed person, although I like to communicate with people, I don’t tell anyone about my inner experiences, and through dance I can do it. “Dancing with the Stars” is the project that gave me an incredibly cool opportunity to talk to myself, to the audience and let go of some personal inner moments. I cannot do this by just sitting and talking about them.
It is important for me that in life I do not get anything easily. Everything that I have, I have earned with my work and honesty.
Therefore, I like to test myself every day, to put myself in a situation where you have to choose between the easy and the hard way. Although this path is difficult, it is much more truthful. I know that I passed it with dignity, and for me this is the most important thing.
A. I. In your opinion, is the "Dancing with the Stars" project fair? Didn't it seem unfair that Masha Efrosinina and Anita Lutsenko left him ahead of time?
THEM. The dances are evaluated not only by professional judges, but also by the audience, on whose votes the fate of the participants also depends. If the couples left ahead of time, it means that in terms of the sum of points from the judge and the number of votes from the audience, they were significantly inferior to the rest of the guys. Unfortunately, these are the rules of the project. Of course, it is a pity that it is so early, because they did not have time to dance everything that they had planned. But I definitely know that I danced the dances that I wanted. The only thing is that I would also like to perform a Georgian dance, in which I would like to convey to the viewer all my depth and my true emotions and feelings. But in the final it was necessary to demonstrate all the skills acquired for the project and combine the movements we had already learned from different numbers into the composition.
A.I. You are not sick of the image of a bachelor who has been following you like a train for several years?
THEM. Of course, I would like people to know who I really am and what I do. I want to move away from the image of a playboy who constantly takes off his shirt. For many, it was a great discovery when, on the last broadcast of Dancing with the Stars, I said that I read motivational lectures in Georgia, promote a healthy lifestyle and do film production.
There are so many things that they don't know about, but I don't like to be intrusive.
I do this not in order to be talked about, but in order for it to be useful and necessary for someone. My main mission is to change the lives of other people for the better. I think that over time, everyone will see a little more than the image that they created on television. But I will not shout about it.
A. I. According to your TV interviews, one gets the impression that you are a very calm person. What can make you mad?
THEM. I am hot-tempered only in those moments that touch me. For example, if it concerns family or friends, if they say or do something inappropriate. Injustice drives me out.
In general, I am a fairly stable person, and despite the difficulties that everyone had on the project, I think that I had the least emotional breakdowns.
Every day I work on myself, communicate with my inner self, no matter how strange it sounds. In the calmness of a person, the most important thing is harmony. As soon as the relationship with your inner “I” is settled, then everything around then begins to look very easy. It is difficult to provoke me to anything.
A. I. Over the past three months you have lived in two countries. How did you manage it, because rehearsals, as far as I understand, are every day?
THEM. Hard. Every Monday I flew to Georgia, from the airport I immediately went to the shooting of the program, we recorded two or three episodes, then back to the airport and to Ukraine. During all this time, I flew to Georgia every week, but I was at home only once. All this, of course, also affected me. Lack of sleep, flights, rehearsals, filming ... It's difficult, but I'm alive, I feel fine, so everything is possible.
A.I. Was there a moment when you wanted to leave the project?
THEM. I had no such thoughts. It is very important to understand why you are participating in the project. If only for the sake of the cup, it will be very difficult. When you concentrate your attention only on the last point, you skip the processes that occur before that. I enjoyed every day: rehearsals, communication with Yana, participants and creators of the show. I was very angry with myself when something didn't work out. Despite the fact that during the broadcast everything looked easy and beautiful, the road to the performances was very difficult.
Each time going through these difficulties, I felt the satisfaction that I was able to overcome myself.
Probably the culminating moment was when on the evening before the semifinals I made the decision for myself to do a back somersault during the dance. In the beginning, I just watched YouTube tutorials for a few hours. And then, together with a friend, in one and a half to two hours, I learned how to perform back somersaults in the hall. If someone told me that I would master this trick in the minimum amount of time, and the next day I would go out and do it during a performance, I would think that this person is definitely not normal. But when everything worked out, I realized that if something is possible for one person, then it is comprehensible for everyone.
A. I .: What are you working on at the moment?
THEM.: In addition to various shootings, which are now taking place every day, work has begun on my new film "The Bridegroom from Georgia", weekly we are recording my program in Georgia, we are working on Indian film projects, which I manage in several countries. Now there is a lot of everything, I just try to correctly allocate time so that I can do everything. I have not yet recovered fully physically from Dancing with the Stars. There were many injuries - we still need to collect ourselves.
A. I. Is the film "The Groom from Georgia" produced by your company? And you are playing the main role, right?
THEM. Yes. This is a romantic comedy about a Georgian, businessman, winemaker, similar to the image of Irakli that was shown on TV. I want to emphasize what exactly the image. This guy falls in love with a Ukrainian girl. If you describe the psychotype of the protagonist, then he is not averse to taking a walk, he likes to live and dress beautifully, at the same time he does not strongly believe in love. Our main character is the complete opposite of him. And it is very interesting how the communication of these people from different poles develops and how their feelings unite. In addition, we subtly use humor, which is important for this genre, demonstrate the character traits of two nations.
We want to show not invented things, but real ones. Ukrainians who have visited Georgia are well aware of our hospitality, feast and traditions. There are also many interesting things in Ukraine.
So we want to make a very beautiful and light film so that both children can watch and adults can laugh heartily. I just see that we are missing now such bright and kind films. At least in the movies, we should have a little rest. I think it will be an interesting project, and Ukrainian celebrities will probably take part in it.

A.I. Judging by the fact that the character of the main character is based on your television image, and you yourself play it, this is a kind of sublimation.
THEM. Many people think so, but I want to emphasize that this is definitely not a documentary about me. It's just that I got so much experience in communication on the projects "Bachelor", "Dancing with the Stars" that I don't even have to invent anything. The more truthful the script, the more interesting it will be for people to watch. Naturally, I'm a little worried because I've never played a movie. So you have to work hard to make it work.

According to outdated statistics, the female-to-male ratio was once 10: 9. Here are the latest reports from the fields: there are several hundred girls for one Irakli Makatsaria. After two hundred I lost count.
Or about a rich collection of friends in Tbilisi
Despite the cold, there were no fewer girls on the street
Here, for example, the graduates of the Ukrainian Film School, who fit three in one photo at once, and more than two dozen in one casting
Some people demonstrated Irakli's vocal talents ...
Someone - the ability to wait like no other
The Bachelor himself, who was an ex-bachelor, and now bachelor again - well, you get the idea - put grades in his mind
And his support group in the person of, for example, the head of the tourism department of the Kyiv City State Administration Anton Taranenko - and not in his mind, but in a special application. Photo - rating - short comment. This trick did not bother me - I asked him everything about work.
For Irakli Makatsaria, too, because brides are brides, and Caesar needs to find out everything about cinema.
- Irakli, last time we met on the set of an Indian film. Then it was about the launch of other Indian projects in Ukraine. At what stage are these projects now?
Here or in Georgia?
- Here and there.
In Georgia, we constantly shoot, even now. Several projects are in the process of negotiations in Ukraine. Very soon, within a week and a half, an Indian group will come to scout locations. I think we'll start filming in July. It is assumed that the shooting will take place in Kiev and Lvov. In addition to the projects that we talked about in the winter, there are several more in development. For example, there is a conversation about one full meter, which we will shoot in its entirety in Lviv.
I consider cooperation with Indian productions a very promising direction, so we are constantly moving forward in this matter and developing.
- Last time the main obstacle for filming was the complicated and expensive visa process ...
Yes, and everything has changed since it was simplified. Ukraine has simplified visa procedures, a permit to enter the country can be obtained directly at the airport and it is cheaper.
- Let's talk about the "Groom from Georgia". You presented the script of the film at the OIFF, now you are applying with it to the Goskino pitching.
Not really, in Odessa we presented another idea, the first concept of the script. We worked on several scenes to submit a draft to the festival section. Now the basic idea has not changed, but this is already a fully developed scenario.
- Are you also going to take projects to the OIFF this year?
I want to, but I have an incredible amount of projects and work in Georgia now. In any case, Anya (Palenchuk, - MN ) will present them for both of us, if need be.
Are there any changes to the script for the main character? Or what is the problem, why are you looking for a performer for so long?
I do not regard this project as a commercial one. That is, I want, of course, to have success with the audience and wide distribution. But this is still the first film that Anya and I invented ourselves, wrote ourselves and made for ourselves. The approach to the process is slightly different than in the case of commercial projects. Even when we were looking for a leading actor, I did not say that I would play a hero, but went on a par with the actors to be cast. And if the director found someone who could better convey the emotions inherent in the script, we would be filming another person. I am primarily a film producer, it is important for me to convey the story and the emotions that are embedded in it, if another actor would be more suitable for the role, I would only be glad.
But even more depends on the main character in our scenario than on the hero. We watched both actresses and those who have never been in films, because we were looking for the very zest and sincerity that the heroine has.
- And how do you like the casting participants?
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone right away. The idea of this casting arose quite spontaneously and was implemented in a short time. We decided to do the casting just four days before I flew to Kiev from Georgia, and did not even count on such a response.
- I noticed the location of the casting about five hundred meters in a huge queue at the entrance.
Even girls from other countries came, not that from other cities. Unfortunately, today we were not able to speak personally with everyone. But the casting managers wrote down business cards and took the contacts of each, we will definitely consider everyone and continue this process. We will continue to do auditions and new castings.
- Do you already know when you will start filming?
In an ideal world, if everything works out with both pitches and castings, we would like to start filming in the fall.
Here co-producer Anna Palenchuk hastened to help Irakli:
God alone - and, perhaps, Philip Yurievich - knows when the results of the pitching will be. In many ways, the start of filming depends on whether we get government support.
- But this is not the only source of funding?
Not the only one, there are interested companies and partners in Georgia - for example, the Georgian channel.
- Speaking of the TV channel, is this the same broadcaster on which Irakli is now a dancing star?
Yes, Irakli takes part in the project "Dancing with the Stars", one of the most popular shows on the Georgian channel. Irakli is well known in Ukraine. In Georgia, the institute of stars does not work as well as ours. But participation in the project, complex productions and charisma of Irakli did their job - it worked well to increase his recognition in the country. Now he is constantly rehearsing, and we are even worried about his crazy pace, and rehearsals and filming ... But the main thing is that Irakli gets great pleasure from the project "Dancing with the Stars".
- Is it performing successfully?
- Let's go back to the film. You haven't talked to distributors yet, here or in Georgia?
We are negotiating. But this is not the most important stage now. The main thing is to find funding. In any case, my company 435 FILMS has already rolled films, and it is likely that we will negotiate with the cinemas ourselves.
It is difficult to predict anything - the idea of casting, for example, arose a week ago, we collectively came up with a format and in a few days pulled Irakli out of Georgia. Before going to Ukraine for the casting, he recorded a video message with an invitation. In two days, this video was watched by 125 thousand people. I think that if at least one in five comes later to the film, it will be a successful release of the Ukrainian romantic comedy.
In the meantime, while you are thinking about it and looking after the bride "To the bridegroom from Georgia", I will leave you alone with the video in which Irakli is dancing. He will say everything that I didn’t have enough words for:
