A spectator from Sassari recognized the Hollywood actor at the Sardinian ride.
It’s not every day you see a Hollywood actor in Sassari, at the Cavalcata Sarda, moreover. Even if the constant presence of Woopy Goldberg in the Sassari area has made the situation a little less unusual, the presence of celebrities in the city is generally welcomed with amazement, also because lately Sassari politics has been concerned with everything, except the tourist vocation of Sassari.
The star at the Cavalcata Sarda.
Today, among the audience of the Cavalcata Sarda there was Daniele Tedde, who deals with IT at the University of Sassari, with his son Carlo, who is passionate about cinema and is the author of the video and photos. It was Carlo who made the sighting of a character previously seen on the big and small screen. “We accidentally ended up near the barrier that reserved space for Stanley Tucci and the BBC crew – says Tedde -. My son Carlo, who loves cinema and insisted on me, noticed that the actor was there. I insisted it wasn’t him. Then at a certain point one of the crew called him “Mr Tucci”. And we had the certainty that he was the certainty.”
The typical confidentiality of the Sardinians.
“We didn’t have the courage to ask him for an autograph or a photo – says Tedde -, even though we were very tempted. I don’t think anyone around there recognized him, because no one approached him. He was very calm and was very interested in the event. While the operators were filming he described the situation, like a normal tourist describing an experience he had on holiday. All this while he ate a sandwich and drank a cold beer.”
Who is Stanley Tucci.
One of those faces that you’ve “already seen somewhere”, that seems familiar, “but what about the name”? Surely the name Stanley Tucci is less recognizable than his face, unless you are an avid cinephile. But the actor and director is an important figure on the world cinema and television scene. Tucci, 63, is an American actor and director of Italian origins. He achieved stardom in particular in 2006, in fact he is remembered by most for playing the role of Nigel, Miranda Priestly’s right-hand man and young Andy’s guardian angel in the iconic film “The Devil Wears Prada”, starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.
During his career he has won 2 Golden Globes and in 2010 he received an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor for “The Lovely Bones”. He currently collaborates with the BBC, with which he tours Italy as part of the “Discovering Italy” programme, which evidently stopped in Sassari for the Cavalcata Sarda.
