‘She quite good but everyone hates U.K. so zero points’ After last night, this cut deep

I can see how Americans find this funny, but for Europeans this actually is just how Eurovision is

"Are you gay?" "No ,I'm Russian" Must be the most used line by all LGBTQ+ people in the whole Russia

The lowkey shade at Russian homophobia is great

I swear to God that's gotta be the most positive representation of Russians in Hollywood movies since like... EVER?!

This first time russian guy isn't a bad guy in the movie.

Okay "come to Greece with me" how about Mamma Mia 3 where Alexander meets Colin Firth and they fall in love

As a gay Russian who moved for a better life that “Russia does not agree” line hurt more then it should’ve

Dan Steven’ character was the best one in the movie. Besides handsome, he was actually very kind, supportive, and generous. I wish they’d do a spin-off of this character. Mita was super cool too.

I like how he simply just wanted a professional and friendly relationship with her and he was respectful. Despite the false set up of him being the stereotypical russian villian. But they humanized him. Refreshing movie

Am I the only one who finds "Everybobdy hates UK" line very funny,because Dan is British?😂

As a russian myself i think his fake russian accent sounds surprisingly real or very close to it. Great work.

“I braided your hair” “Wow it’s quite good actually. How long did it take you?” “6 hours” 😂😂

Sigrit: Are you gay? Lion of Love: No, of course not. I am Russian

Can we appreciate that this was Will Ferrell’s passion project, he was working on this film for years inspired by his love of Eurovision from his Swedish wife. From the writing to directing, Will truly put his heart into this incredible musically uplifting film for all of us. I only ever saw him as a somewhat low-tier American comedian but he definitely has his moments, this being the shining achievement. Never would I have imagined laughing, crying and feeling so happy watching this film by Will Ferrell. Props to you, Will. Love from South Korea

I find people are divided over this character. There are those who are a little bit in love with him, and there are those who are a lot in love with him.

Dan Stevens was made for this role 🦁❤️ We need a new movie “Lemtov’s Greek adventure”

That brief look after he says "He/Him" was a great bit of acting in the eyes.

Best of Dan Steven is actually every scene where he appears 😂

"everyone hates UK so zero points" Oh, the foreshadowing is real...

“Are you gay ?” “No I am Russian”

“Cause everybody hates UK, so zero points”. Funny & sad cause it’s so true, aa ha 😭🤣 🇬🇧 from a English & or British person.

Is it just me who really wants a sequel to this film?

Who else thought he’d turn out to be the bad guy but then was so relieved that he wasn’t?

Dan Stevens is so charming in this role. I rewatch this movie just for him 😄

"You deserve to be happy too" "Mother Russia does not agree" My heart broke

So true “she won England’s got talent, but everyone hates UK, so..... Zero points!!!!!!”

spinoff movie focusing on Alexander's gay life in Greece plsss.

Pleasantly surprised with what they did with this character The easy route was just make him a cartoonish russian villiain, but there is so much more in him! They gave us a tridimensional well rounded character. Lemtov has a subtle presence during the whole movie, he is incredibly gentle and impossible to hate him. Dan Stevens did an awesome job giving life to him. Looking forward to see Dan's next project!

I just want to hear Dan speaking like that for hours.

Am I the only one who laughed at “WiFi every room”. OML I’ve never gotten this many likes tysm

I really like that he wasn't a bad guy, its so tiring to have the hero/antagonist line, its so shallow.

He's so handsome, that I'm feeling myself gay... But I'm 100% not gay, because I'm russian. Edit: oh thank you, my non-gay comrades, glad to see, that i'm not alone in my confusion

"- You derserve to be happy.. - Mother Russia is not agree" I love the critic behind the character. In real life, year 2020, Russia is still intolerant with gays/lesbians and they are persecuted.

I legit want Dan Stevens to get an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for this role. He was so good.

“WiFi every room. What do you give her? Nothing.”

like if he was the best character in the movie 😜😜

Him at the end about mother Russia not accepting him with his happiness was such a good dig at Russia bloody love this character

"Are you gay?" "No, I'm Russian" is an activist spin on "I'm a lesbian" "I thought you were American"

I love his laugh when she asks if he's gay, it's so good

I love how he braids her hair😂

Yes Dan Stevens is amazing, but Rachel is also remarkable. She manages to be nerdy and quirky without having MPDG-affectations, and she has a spot-on imitation of a middle aged scandi woman speaking English

Dan Steven's Lemtov is the most charismatic scene-stealing character in the entire movie!

”..Faberge egg, personal submersible, pet tiger...” I love him, and I'll take the pet tiger as well

I missed my favorite line from him "like silky kitty fists in marshmallow boxing gloves"

“You deserve to be happy too” “Mother Russia does not agree” Damn, this hits. For a comedy, it sure cut a lot of onions.

I love the fact that people who don't watch ESC think this is extreme and over exaggerated while it in reality is not nearly as extreme as it actually is 😂😂😂

When Alexander was first introduced, I was expecting him to be the cliche, mustache twirling villain character trope. I was so pleasantly surprised that he turned out to be a genuine and kind hearted character.

Such an incredible actor! As a Russian myself, I can tell Dan did a lot of homework to ensure he looks and sounds exactly like a Russian would.

Mother Russia agrees that he is a scene stealer

I think Alexander deserves his own movie. The second part movie ahould about him.

I love how he was being set up as a villain but turned out to be just a super chill and supportive guy.

I am Russian and I absolutely love this portrayal

When he said "Be my guest" knowing that he played prince Adam in Beauty and the Beast is everything 😂✨

Idea for a spin-off film: A film about Alexander moving with Mitta to Greece where he finally finds love and acceptance.

"Mother Russia does not agree" is now in my daily vocabulary.

Dan Stevens was soo damn likeable and funny in this movie! He stole every scene that he was in 🙌 Also Alexander and Mita’s friendship is so pure 😭

"the other Wham guy"... I love the comedic lines and Dan Stevens deserves an award for his role in this movie!

I think Mita and Alexander deserve a spinoff.

Dan Stevens is a chameleon. I love him in this. They introduce him as potential baddie, but he is actually very kind, trying to make them feel included, and tbh he sees how badly treated and ignored Sigrit is and wants to help her and shower her with gifts and encouragement.

Did anyone else watch this movie just to see Dan Stevens? He was so good as Alexander and I’m still not over Matthew Crawley.

DAMN!!! This half minute conversation between him and Mita Mita ("You deserve to happy too") has more emotion than some whole movies! This pairing is amazing and quite unique! I would love to see more of this duo

"He, him pronoun" ROFL Dan Stevens deserves not only an award for this but a spin-off which focuses on his future- he stole the show for me

Alexander's and Mitta's Greek Adventure!!!! I DEMAND THIS SEQUEL

The whole "it's more beautiful because you're here" usually makes me roll my eyes but those blue eyes and hair and chest just... do something

With I didn't realize that he was dan Stevens?!! I thought to myself when I was watching, this guy is so handsome and such a good actor. His performance in this movie is so amazing, so charming, natural and smoothhhhhh aghhh love it

The way he says “..... maybe you’re riiiiiiiiiight” kills me every time

There is something about Dan Stevens that makes him absolutely beautiful

My sister and I agree that he stole the entire movie. And anyway, it's always worth it to watch movies and tv shows just for him :) PS: I need a spinoff about Alexander Lemtov!!

Even their antagonist/rival is super likable

He’s so gorgeous, and the way he looks at Rachel with those steel blue eyes...

I want a spin-off of Alexander and Mita in Greece.

I need a friend like Alexander in my life

I get so excited anytime I see Dan Stevens getting recognition. He is truly one the best actors working right now and deserves way more attention.

OK -- this is the kind of performance that came out of nowhere and was totally unexpected!! It's so remarkable, Dan Stevens should at the very least, be nominated for Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy or Musical. Dan Stevens shows his incredible versatility as an actor in this rollicking comedic role! But he brings much more than his hysterical over-the-top very rich Russian pop star who displays an ambiguous sexuality. In addition to being in love with himself and as arrogant as can be, he also shows a sensitive side that is so evident in his affection for Rachel McAdams. What a far cry from Matthew Crawley (Downton Abbey), David Collins (The Guest) and David (Legion)!!! This man can act. And sing. He was originally to sing "The Lion of Love" but COVID-19 prevented him from traveling to the studio after the picture had wrapped. And, of course, it surely doesn't hurt that he's the most beautiful man on the planet with a high intellect and a heckuva really, really nice guy.

I LOVED this character. Part of the sweetness of this movie comes from the fact that even Lemtov, who is kind of an antagonist to Lars, is fundamentally a kind, understanding person with good intentions. Eurovision just makes me feel all warm inside.

I expected him to be a villain, and he ended up being my favorite character 😭😭😭 he’s so great.

Dan Stevens definitely steals every scene he’s in.

I love the way his eyes look when he says “it can be arranged.” 😍 4:46

Really great actor with incredible range. It's a shame The Guest never got the credit it deserved.

Anyone else like the idea of "Eurovision Song Contest: The Rise of the Lion Lover" for a prequel/sequel? ... Please make it happen, Netflix! (or just help get Dan Stevens to represent the UK in 2021; either one)

Dan is one of the most beautiful men on earth. 🥰🥰🥰

I'm Russian and I have to say that Dan made a great job! First of all, his accent is brilliant and second of all, he definitely looks and acts like his prototype... I'm not going to say who, I just suggest you to watch Eurovision 2016:D

Dan Stevens lifts the movie to another level as Lemtov. That’s what true actors are.

we need a EUROVISION FIRE SAGA 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please. necesitamos una segunda parte!!

No joke Dan Stevens was my fave character in this. He was funny, supportive, kind, understanding. He's brilliant 🥰

I really thought that he was gonna be an asshole, like, wanna to closer her to messing with her show, but in the end I was happy that he was only a good friend, that wanted her to be his partner on shows. Really nice see a good representation of a russian person, the line , that he´s says that he´s not gay cause he´s russian breaks my heart, Alexander deserves a solo movie in greece, please netflix

Just watching these clips this has got to be one of the most positive Russian Characters coming from Hollywood. I mean think about it for the longest time Russians in movies were spies, villains, and so forth always the antagonists. I am going to watch this just for him

Dan Stevens stole the movie!! Lemtov is such an amazing and likable character!! He is the one that made this movie so great!!!

He has to at least get a Golden Globe nomination. My stomach hurt from laughing so much cause of him, he was incredible.

Dan Stevens was the best thing in the movie

I love how Dan Stevens captured Slavic accent :)

Scene stealer! His Russian accent/mannerism was near perfect. I lived in a dorm full of Russian students playing loud music. I speak with some authority here lol

Her facial expression after he winks is priceless.

Dan Stevens is king in this. He certainly stole the show!

honestly, he's the best character.

I literally got lost in his eyes in that balcony scene. ღ

It’s so funny when dan say about everyone hates england and give zero point while he’s british 😂😂😆. He’s super charmin thoo

Dan is such a king.

This man went from playing the Beast to the Lion Lover. Iconic.
