The pro -Russian Serbian actor Bikovich was removed from the series "White Lotus": he reacted

According to journalists, the man had to play Russian yoga named Valentin in one of Thailand's hotels. The actor himself believes that the reason for his release was circumstances that go beyond creativity. Serbian actor with Russian citizenship Milos Bikovich, who was supposed to play in the series from the American channel HBO "White Lotus", was removed from his role. About it reports Deadline. According to journalists, the actions of the third season should take place in one of Thailand's hotels.

Milos Bikovich arrived there to play the episodic role of a character named Valentin, a flirting Russian yoga, as well as a mentor of an institution to improve life. Now his role will be rewritten and redeemed. Shooting is planned for Samui, Phuket Island, as well as in Bangkok, but without a Serbian actor with Russian citizenship. The HBO has not officially commented on the replacement of the cast at the time of the material.

On his page on the social network Instagram, Milos Bikovich posted Stories, in which he commented on the decision of HBO management to remove him from his role. According to him, he grew up in a country that was in a state of war and from the age of 11 he spent his nights in shelters through active bombing. Currently, there is a huge amount of active hostilities and conflicts in the world, and each of them has its own circumstances and the actor wants "all this stopped and love will be exposed.

" "Now that a purposeful information campaign is being conducted against me, external circumstances are beginning to influence creative decisions that creates an alarming precedent, which displaces the essence of freedom of creativity. The result of such a narrative is the triumph of absurdity and the defeat of art," Milos said. He added separately that he was glad to star in the series "White Lotus", which he really liked.

He worked with colleagues he respects, but now his participation in the project is impossible and the reason was the circumstances, as the actor who goes beyond creativity says and he "is not ready to change his principles. " "No matter what, I believe that art is able to treat. I believe that it can unite and build bridges. And my beliefs and dedication to their business remain unchanged," Milos Bikovich summed up.

It is worth noting that Milos Bikovich has repeatedly expressed his love for Russia and even called it his homeland. "I have been involved in the cultural life of Russia for more than seven years. For me, it is a blessing and a source of happiness. All this time I feel an active member of Russian society, now it is officially fixed," he wrote on Instagram after receiving citizenship. In 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin personally awarded the Serbian actor with Pushkin Medal.

It is a state award of Russia, which is awarded for services in the field of culture and art, education, humanities and literature. We will remind, on January 25 in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine responded to the fact that HBO allocated a role in the American series "White Lotus" to Serbian actor, who supports the policy of Russia and even received a "red" passport.
