VLADIMIR Putin says his life is a bottomless bowl of cherries — and that things are always great because he’s “not a woman.”
“I am not a woman, so I don’t have bad days,” the Russian strongman said in a cream puff interview at the Kremlin with filmmaker Oliver Stone, the New York Post reported.
“I am not trying to insult anyone. That’s just the nature of things. There are certain natural cycles.”

The JFK and Wall Street director had access to Mr Putin for over two years to create a series for US network Showtime that will air starting June 12, Bloomberg reported.
In addition to revelling in his manly manliness, Mr Putin said Edward Snowden was wrong to release US secrets, that he lifts weights and swims every day, and that a 2013 Russian law barring distribution of “gay propaganda” to minors does not mean gays are discriminated against in Russia.

“There are no restrictions whatsoever,” he said.
But asked if he’d take a shower in a submarine next to a gay man, the Russian leader laughed before replying.
“Well, I prefer not to go to the shower with him. Why provoke him? But you know, I’m a judo master,” he said.
