Conchita Wurst: Putin is attractive, but too much plastic

The winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2014, Thomas Neuwirth, performing in the stage image of the bearded singer Conchita Wurst, spoke about his attitude towards Vladimir Putin, appreciating his masculine attractiveness.

In an interview with a British newspaper The Times 26 is a year-old Austrian transvestite, dreamed meet with the Russian president, said that although the head of state is “good-looking,” he prefers men who have “less plastic surgery.”

Conchita Wurst spoke about Putin after she described the intolerant attitude she has to face as a woman. “The insults are less common now,” Wurst said, noting that she is very aware that many of the people she interacts with “just have to be polite.”

According to Conchita Wurst, the situation is particularly difficult with regard to people with non-traditional sexual orientation in Eastern Europe. It was reported about men who, in protest against Wust, shaved off their beards, says the article quoted InoPressa.

But at the same time, Russia became the first country where the song of Conchita Wurst, with which she won at Eurovision, was at the top of the charts, notes The Times.

In February, Conchita Wurst won the “Best Foreign Artist of the Year” category at the Russian “Sound Track” award, with the listeners choosing the leader. As stated, Thomas Neuwirth will not be able to attend the award ceremony in Moscow, but Conchita Wurst in an interview with The Times made it clear that in fact she was not invited to the Russian capital. According to the singer, it was because the organizers feared causing a negative reaction from the audience.

Speaking about Russia, Wurst admitted that Vladimir Putin, who is “not exactly friendly towards gays,” seems quite attractive to her, although he has “too much plasticity for the ideal.”

It is worth noting that the 63-year-old Russian president has almost no wrinkles, and his face, for example, contrasts sharply with the face of 54-year-old American leader Barack Obama, who is nine years younger than him, but has sharply distinguished nasolabial folds and noticeable wrinkles on the forehead.

Conchita Wurst has previously repeatedly expressed a desire to meet with Putin. So, in May, at a press conference in Vienna dedicated to the presentation of a “platinum” disc, the singer said, that I would like to talk with the President of Russia to understand what it’s like to be the head of state. Before this, Thomas Neuwirth stated his desire to spend at least a week in Putin’s company, “just to understand him.”
