Volim Er Srbiju – Er Srbiju volim pre svega zato što u imenu ima reč Srbija. Jed- va čekam da se uvede direktan let za Los Anđeles. Kada putu- jem po Evropi, uvek letim našim avio-prevoznikom kao prvo iz patriotskih razloga, ali i ti patri- otski razlozi ne bi mogli da bu- du opravdanje da kvalitet nije na prvom mestu – ističe Alek- sandar. I LOVE AIR SERBIA “I love Air Serbia first and foremost because its name contains the word Serbia. I can't wait for them to introduce a direct flight to Los Angeles. I always fly with our airline when I travel around Europe, firstly for patriotic reasons, but even those patriotic reasons wouldn’t be justified if quality wasn’t to the fore,” notes Aleksandar.
Vesli Snajps je izuzetno nasmejan čovek, uprkos svemu što je prošao u životu Wesley Snipes is an extremely affable man, despite everything he’s been through in life
Our film artist is also grateful to Wesley Snipes, whom he says is an extremely affable man, despite everything he’s gone through in life. “He is a master of multiple martial arts and wears a fifth dan black belt in karate, so that’s where we found a common interest and something to speak about. He even posted a photo of us together on his Instagram pro- file. Regardless of how busy they were, they all maximal- ly respected me and gave me their attention.” Filimonović has also had the opportunity to meet great Hollywood stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Syl- vester Stallone. “They were my childhood idols. I met Schwarzeneg- ger at the gym. I remember approaching him and saying that I’d come to America because he, among others, had inspired me to try my hand at acting. He was very kind and we had a nice talk. It was the same case with Stal- lone. I met him at a Beverly Hills restaurant. He is an ex- tremely nice, cultured and very patient man. Aleksandar currently lives and works in Los Ange- les, but he previously also spent years living in Moscow, London, New York and elsewhere. Before attending the Lee Strasberg Institute, he graduated in computer sci- ence at Royal Holloway, University of London. “I speak Russian like a Russian because I spent five years attending primary school there. They sometimes
found life very tough, but they were always full of digni- ty and pride, but were also big hearted. They respected me greatly as a Serb and I made a lot of friends there. I moved to London at the age of 13. That was a richer but colder country. I was an excellent mathematician, and I also received a football scholarship, and while in Lon- don I also graduated in computer science. I later relocat- ed to New York, where I studied acting.” That’s a city that he says is a world unto itself, which is why he’ll never forget the moment he first exited the subway on Times Square and saw the city in its full splendour... “You shouldn't sleep too much in New York, because you’ll miss out on a lot if you do. I also spent nine months living in the city of Santa Monica, and I really liked that retirement town. But I decided definitively six years ago that Los Angeles would be my base, though I always like to point out that – alongside all of the world's metropo- lises – Belgrade is the dearest to my heart. I’m working on my career so that, in the future, I’ll be able to bring world productions to my city and thus help many artists in our country. That’s my goal and will be my indescriba- ble happiness,” reveals Aleksandar, adding that he could never be seduced by the charms of Hollywood, because he loves Serbia. His dream is to succeed professionally in Hollywood, but to live in his own country.
