Here Are a Bunch of Pics of Johnny Sitting at a Table. You're Welcome.

Even just preparing to take his seat at a press conference, he’s lovely.

So among the enormous backlog of photos languishing in my computer gathering virtual dust was this beautiful series from Elena Vasileva of Johnny at the Snow King press conference, held after the show’s debut in Moscow back in early December. I ran a few of these then, but here at last are the rest of them.

Generally you might think a bunch of photos of some guy mostly sitting at a table would be less than enthralling, but this is Johnny, so naturally they’re mesmerizing. You can see that he’s beyond exhausted thanks to rehearsals, performing, and his constant companion Jet Lag, yet he’s also smiling, engaged in what’s happening, and funny. There’s a brief clip of him speaking Russian at the press conference (with translation—thank you, Elena!) at the end of the picspam.

You also can see that these were taken before Karina Grigoryants gave him a haircut.

Eyes WIDE OPEN. “I will not fall asleep. I will not fall asleep.”

With Tomáš and Katarina Gerboldt.

This may be during Irina Slutskaya’s remarks, in which she laughingly explained the challenges of having two singles skaters — herself as Gerda, and Johnny as Kai — perform together as a pair.

LOL.

Johnny appears beginning at about 2:53. He says: “I think this [the show] is very good for the figure skating world because it is new and its level is crazy-high.”
