See more Johnny at: www.lifeskate.c...
Pop Star on Ice starring Johnny Weir had its New York premiere on June 11, as part of the NewFest Film Festival. Produced and directed by David Barba and James Pellerito, the film chronicles Johnny's rise from a young boy growing up in rural Pennsylvania to becoming three-time U.S National Figure Skating Champion and a World bronze medalist. Throughout the film, the audience is introduced to Patti Weir (Johnny's mother), Paris Childers (his best friend), Priscilla Hill (Johnny's coach for nearly ten years before he switched to Galina Zmievskaya and Viktor Petrenko) and other important figures in his life. After the movie, Johnny, Paris, David and James took questions from the audience and here is Part 1 of the Q&A. Part 2 will be coming up soon!

I've never been a fan of Johnny's skating, but he is an amazing and incredibly interesting individual. He takes everything in stride with intelligence and a great sense of humor.

:) Thnx. I've even seen some footage of Lund "criticizing" (to put it mildly) Johnny, in the Pop Star on Ice movie. Anyway, I think Johnny did really good yesterday!! Best of luck for tomorrow, to him and to Stephane :)

Lmao, the siren. "... Hellooo. ouo;;" He's too cute not to love.

JW on the world of figure skating: it's like a crackhouse, but with rhinestones and glitter. LOL you are too funny JW.

go johnny!!! "i will not have...a can of pork and beansz...i wanna be pretty!"

[@vladiusik]

I don't think so. I think he was referring to some one with a skating background, whereas Lund is simply a publicist/journalist.

[@vladiusik]

I was just wondering who did he refer to when talking about the guy in "the purple pj's"? was he talking about Scott Hamilton? Does anyone know?

[@rcheliboy]

I WANNA BE PRETTY!!! much love for johnny

Lund was a skater, though not a well-known one and I imagine his career was quite short-lived as he doesn't even mention it in his website bio. That's two reasons to hate Weir: he is a better skater than Lund was and Weir does not bow to the conformist. Google him and you'll find at least a couple of articles.

[@xstrawberry86x]

same here he was good but the judges were just not into his kind of ice skating

[@Dani1165]

Mark Lund. He made the comment on a cable show "Nancy Kerrigan's World of Figure Skating." Ironically, Lund's a gay man.
