Replying to a redditor:

> Johnny, you and Tara are amazing. Question: What is the most beautiful/MAGICAL place you've ever skated?

> This past year, while filming with To Russia With Love, I skated on a frozen lake in Lake Louise, Canada, in the middle of Winter, it was snowing, it was natural ice, outside, and I just... felt like it was the most beautiful place to skate on top of the world.

Replying to a redditor:

> Thanks for doing this! Do you design your own costumes? What’s the most scandalous thing that goes on behind the scenes of figure skating? If you were to go all out “Blades of Glory” who would your male partner be and why?

> Yes, I've designed 95% of my own costumes, and now i am happily designing for other skaters and also working on my own active sportswear line.
>
> Hahah! *Um...* politics.
>
> Oh! Let's see... my male partner for Blades of Glory would probably be... I never thought about that... let's say... Maxim Trankov. He's the most recent Olympic pairs champion and I know I'd be in safe hands.
