Manuela Arcuri: “Returning wasn’t a walk in the park”
Manuela Arcuri explained why she remained out of the spotlight for so long: “Eleven years ago they asked me to make Pupetta 2, a Mediaset drama which went well. But I got pregnant and decided to dedicate myself only to my son“. The actress did not say she regretted the choices she made: “I don’t regret anything, even if returning wasn’t a walk in the park: if you get out of the laps, the others go ahead“. In the next film she will wear the role of the lawyer Pazienza Mantovani and will act alongside her 10 year old son Mattia:
He has been breathing the air of entertainment since he was born. He studies singing, dancing and acting, he even goes to musical school. He is in fifth grade, but he takes this passion of his very seriously. At the end of filming he went to the director and said: “Listen, but next time I want to do a bigger role”.
Manuela Arcuri: “Francesco Totti? It didn’t work, we were too young”
Manuela Arcuri then talked about some flirtations from the past. Among these, the one with Francesco Totti (before he married Ilary Blasi): “There was something: a little kiss, little or nothing. I would have liked the story, I liked it a lot. He was desired by too many women, he didn’t intend to commit and deep down I understand it. Something didn’t work, we were too young“. On the relationship with Gabriel Garko (who recently spoke about his coming out) clarified: “He never told me it was all fake. The flirtation lasted a few months, he seemed taken, even ‘physically’. I’m sorry to hear that it was all an act“.
