Nicolas Vaporidis he is finally in Italy after 100 days of survival in Honduras. Come back from winner of the longest edition in the history ofIsland of the Famous wearing “a sense of liberation”. He arrives in the Roman editorial office of Fanpage.it in a t-shirt and sunglasses, before returning to his London, which today is his home.
It is simply Nicolas and with all the frankness that distinguishes him he admits: “I don’t miss anything about the island. I don’t miss the difficult moments, but I don’t miss the good ones. I am happy that it is all over, to be back to normal life, to comfort, to a bed, a shower and to eat. The only thing I’ve done is be with your family. For the rest I saw Edoardo againwe have already gone twice for dinner “.
Nicolas, your victory was decreed by the almost unanimity of the public. You won with 89% of the vote. Can it be said that you were the perfect castaway?
I don’t feel like I was the perfect castaway, actually, I lived it as a human experience. It is certainly a showcase, but I tried to experience it as little as possible as a prime time on Canale 5. However, I think the victory was so overwhelming because I was confronted with Luca, who came in later, so maybe the public was fond of a little less. I’m sure that if I had been in the grand final with Carmen or Edoardo, the gap would have been much smaller.
Did the island turn out to be an experience as you expected it?
I expected it to be easier. I thought it was within everyone’s reach and yet it is not. It is a physical survival, you are subjected to fundamental deprivation. You don’t eat, but not the kind that someone away from the cameras gives you something. That’s 50 grams of rice a day and that’s, like dogs. And then it gets mental, because sugar deficiencies have a huge impact on your clarity. I used to think ‘Come on, what do you want it to be?’ No… (laughs, editor’s note).
Not bad, however, for having landed on the fasting island of reality TV. Do you think you’ve somehow paid the price of not being a TV expert?
It was an encounter with something totally alien to me, something I would never do, because I thought I was not up to it, that I was not capable, that I was going out of my mind. And instead I learned to manage myself too. I’m glad I did it without having any reality experience because I was wrong in good faith and I showed the whole man beyond the actor, with all the paranoia I am capable of, of confidentiality, of anxiety, of ‘Oh God what will they say ?! “.

Let’s play a game, But you have to answer me point blank …
The most loyal castaway?
Edward.
The most incorrect castaway?
Jeremiah.
The most attractive?
What do you mean? Mentally or physically?
Well I don’t know, take it as you want.
So I always tell you Edoardo, his irony is contagious.
What exactly would you do without reviewing in Italy?
Lory Del Santo.
It wasn’t really love at first sight between you guys.
Absolutely not. She certainly didn’t play the best role she could choose. I credit her for playing a character from start to finish, but I hope she isn’t like that in real life. It was a constant provocation, she contradicted herself on everything. I did not expect this attitude aimed at creating embarrassment from someone like her and made her repulsive with respect to the group. I thought that she humanly she had another type of thickness. She could have been a very intelligent woman, but she continued to lie knowing she was lying and that’s all that even in real life, I avoid.
What made it instead your relationship with Edoardo so tight and visceral?
He and Guendalina have that Roman lightness that was missing. We are different, but our opposites have attracted. We have sincerity and self-irony in common. We were truly friends. Edoardo gave me lightness. It would have been another Island without him.

It also made people discuss your confrontation with Vladimir Luxuria. There are those who thought that the fact of address her using the masculine it was a pretext …
It was a slip of the tongue, it was absolutely not my intention. I didn’t realize I called her ‘dear’. It was my mistake. There is nothing further from me, I apologized to her that same evening in a confessional. Beyond the difference of opinion, I would never have allowed myself to offend her for her identity, absolutely.
More and more often it seems a natural conversion that of reality winners to the role of columnist in the studio. Could this be your case?
I do not exclude anything, but I do not feel like a columnist up to the occasion. There are characters who have the ability to intercept what happens and be able to give an intelligent and funny opinion at the same time. I don’t know, I think not. But I will calmly evaluate everything that used to frighten me and to which I would have answered ‘No, I never will’. Here, “I’ll never do it” I don’t say it anymore.
The line of privacy that characterized you has paradoxically turned out to be a winner and leads us to re-evaluate certain television dynamics. Overexposure is therefore not a fundamental requirement to “reach” the public.
It would have been an unattainable effort for me to tell everything about my private life, because I have never done it, much less in a television container. I tried to sip the information and tell myself, without relying on my affections or my past relationships. These are things that I tell my closest friends and even there I need a time, let alone the whole of Italy. I don’t find it elegant for past stories, much less for the current one. It would mean exhibiting a beautiful thing and commodifying it.
But at some point you softened up. Because? Talk about the your girlfriend Ali had it become a personal need?
Because on the other side it would have seemed strange to be so hermetic. I thought it was right not to expose the people who make me happy, but not to hide them either. Yes I have a girlfriend, I also tell you the name. Then that’s it. There is no need to go into too much detail about her, show her or broadcast her. I’d betray a feeling that I want to protect instead.
You said that fame, at a certain point in your career, brought you a sudden desire to disappear …
I’m not much of a fan of the effect cinema has on me. Or the success of my films. I have always been reserved almost to the limit of obsession, almost as if it were a pathology and I worked hard to try to make peace with this stuff, not to make a fool of myself in the eyes of others, not to make myself one at first sight too shy or rough in the ‘approach. These things for me were a source of tension and stress, I was not living well, I was sweating. Now my hands are dry (laughs). Now I have learned to manage it, I have learned to tell myself.
Now that two of you are out of here managing your relationship, will you and Ali continue to be so reserved?
No, we will go to Temptation Island to be consistent with the idea of not being in the spotlight (he jokes, ed). I’m learning to use social media to tell myself, but always keeping faith with my confidentiality, which is no longer obsessive. However, I do not think of turning into someone who tells what he does h 24. I do not think I have such an interesting life to entertain people, showing what I eat for breakfast and announcing that in the evening I go to sleep. Sti ca ** i.
Well, at least this year, for the first time in almost 20 years, you escaped the final exams … It took the Island of the Famous to save you.
Not so much, I did 100 days of exile in Honduras! Rather, next year, I’m willing to do three days of live coverage to talk about maturity, but I don’t want to starve anymore.
