I always look deep inside the person and you will see a beautiful person in every human being.” But the message refused to send. “Plant or animal, black or white, gay or straight, man or woman, I always see things deeper than just a surface. That was when he decided to create a manifesto of love, to put out on Instagram. When he got back to his hotel, he was still buzzing. The film-makers left him alone in the desert for a couple of hours. He was in Qatar to make a short film, thousands of miles away from home. He sounds baffled rather than disappointed.įast-forward a couple of months to the night of his 29th birthday, 20 November. (Although he was born and grew up in Ukraine, he has always regarded himself as Russian.) Again, it was all about love. He says this dates back to last September when he stood in Red Square in Moscow and declared he wanted to “unite England, Russia and Ukraine”.

Last week, I received an email from Tatiana Tokareva, Polunin’s manager. This is the man who walked out of the Royal Ballet eight years ago, aged only 21, when he was already being compared to Rudolf Nureyev and Mikhail Baryshnikov. It was a supreme act of self-sabotage – but by no means his first. The bad boy of ballet lost virtually everything – acting and modelling jobs, a Ted talk, sponsorship. In January, the Paris Opera Ballet announced it had fired the Ukrainian, just after announcing it had hired him to play the lead in Swan Lake. When the Royal Ballet’s youngest ever principal dancer praised Vladimir Putin and showed off his chest tattoo of the Russian president, told his male colleagues that they’d better man up and suggested that fat people needed a slap, he pretty much alienated the whole world.
