— Would you like a feature film or documentary to be made about you?
– Honestly? I would like. But I don’t know how far my story can go in a feature film. But overall, I would like people to know my story. Maybe she would inspire someone. But I understand that there are many similar stories and people’s fate is much more difficult. And their story fits the film better. Thank goodness everything went well for me. Yes, there were difficulties, but compared to the difficulties of others, they were only trifles. I had loving parents who invested in us to the fullest. Our family was not poor. Yes, she wasn’t very rich, but I always had what I needed. My father could always pay for my competitions. Something like that. Usually it is interesting to see how a person overcomes certain difficulties, comes from a dysfunctional family, goes through thorns to the stars. I don’t know… Maybe my story could fit.
– Even in this answer, your modesty is visible. But you definitely achieved the result. Okay, which actor could play you?
– (Laughs). That’s the question. “I don’t even know, I didn’t even think about it,” Bivol told .
