With the events that followed yesterday evening, the curtain fell on the eighth edition of the Bct and the actor spoke in Piazza Roma connected from Mexico Pedro Alonso. The Spanish artist, whose presence in the city was eagerly awaited by thousands of people, had to give up this meeting in recent days because he was particularly busy with the shooting of a film, and connecting remotely did not have an effect similar to what would have been seen in person, with very few people in fact attending the remote chat with the journalist Alessandra De Tommasi. “Italy loves me and I didn’t expect all this success”these are her first words at the opening of the connection and to support De Tommasi present on stage, the translator Giusy Iannace.
The actor then talked about the character of Berlin in all its facets and announced the release of the second season of the spin-off series of ‘La Casa di Carta’. “He has a huge heart, he is a paradoxical character, a volcano ready to erupt but at the same time very emotional. We will shoot the second season and filming will begin next year“.
He then focused on himself, considering himself a multitasking man: “When I’m not working I like to work on myself and do especially psychological work. I also like traveling and painting and I try to make the best of everything. Over time I understood that I am a multitasking man and just a few things are enough to feel at home. In the world there are many people who raise walls and therefore raise limits and they should be eliminated.”
The interview then continued with the intervention of the Festival director Antonio Frascadore, who went on stage to greet him and remotely present him with the award for best international star. “When I learned that you would come to Benevento, accepting our invitation, I cried and I cried again when we received the communication that you would not be able to come. I really want you to come in person to the Festival. You are a wonderful person and for people who love cinema you are an example”.
Flattered by Frascadore’s words, Pedro Alonso took his leave: “I too would have been very happy to come to Benevento and to the Bct. I will do everything I can to make this happen soon. I receive so much affection every day, especially from southern Italy, and thank you Benevento”.
