Pietro Sermonti it was told to Corriere della Sera to present the second season of Accidental gigolo – The sex gurua series on Amazon Prime Video of which he is the protagonist. The gigolo he plays defines him as “clumsy, generous and unreliable. He’s the average Italian. And I’m like him in everything, except my profession and my hair.” But the actor also remembers his beginnings, with Elisha Rivombrosa: “I remember exciting moments. I had broken my ankle, I had a cast and I was acting behind a table to hide it: the script was all jump and run, hurry up and don’t stop, while I was sitting. I looked crazy.” And, it goes without saying, one cannot fail to mention the population achieved with A Doctor in the Family which Sermonti defines as “a blow. Before, I lived in another world, I was a kind of misfit, I didn’t have a television, I didn’t even know what fiction it was: I asked for some video cassettes to understand.” Then Boris: “The best gift. It was created by my childhood friends, authors like Mattia Torre e Giacomo Ciarrapico who had been my classmate. At the time I was the actor with wide eyes, I played love stories: nobody, if not them who knew I was a dickhe would have offered me a role like that.”
And then the journalist Renato Franco asks him if he has ever acted as badly as Stanis (“No come on, not that bad. Stanis is unique. Due to narcissism, ignorance, stupidity and pride I thought he was unattainable. But then I saw Trump and raised my hands“) and how many dogs or “cursed bitches” he met on the set: “I have two sensational Stanis that perhaps I will write on my tombstone and a female Stanis: a magnificent trio whose names I won’t mention.” When asked why he is not on social media he replies that “it is not a form of misoneism” and luckily he himself explains what it is: “Misoneism: the aversion towards what is new. It’s a word that I learned last week, I say it three, four times a day, even alone… The fact is that I don’t like social media: they dedicate either veneration or hatred to a public figure like me, which are still two sides of the same coin. I’m not interested in these excesses.” Last question? What is an unfulfilled intention: “At a certain point I wanted to learn Chinese. My dad was perplexed, he said to me: ‘But who makes you do it? Forget it: so a billion and a half Chinese won’t know that you’re an idiot’”.
