Mussolini and Marinelli, the suffering actor
Poor thing, I wonder how the young actor will feel today. Luca Marinelli.
He will be tired, exhausted. He will feel psychologically violated perhaps. He has suffered recently. A lot, too much. A lot!
Why? Well, because he had to play the role of the unmentionable. Interpret Benito Mussolini. Yes, you understood correctly. The actor said to the friendly press: “Giving a face to Mussolini was a real suffering.” And no, not because he had to cut his hair to zero or wear contact lenses. No, not at all. Because he is anti-fascist. Always has been.
Do you know why? Because he said: “To put myself in his shoes I had to suspend judgment.”
A question arises spontaneously: did he also suffer when he saw the credit on his current account for the service rendered?
No, because if Marinelli suffered a lot he could have also avoided playing the part.
And then, perhaps the story isn’t worth telling?
Maybe, huh.
