Since he left the set of “Don Matteo”, Terence Hill has disappeared from the radar: this is how the star of the fiction now lives.
Born in 1939 in Venice, Terence Hillborn Mario Girotti, is one of the most representative actors on Italian TV, also thanks to his long artistic partnership with his colleague Carlo Pedersoli, aka Bid Spencer.
The close-knit couple began to collaborate in a completely fortuitous way in the early 1970s, and inaugurated the most successful season of the genre spaghetti-western. The iconic opening theme of “They Call Me Trinità”, in fact, represents a cult for millions of nostalgics, and the films of the mini-saga still collect record ratings on generalist networks.
Well before establishing a solid friendship with Bud Spencer, Terence Hill had already walked on prestigious sets and collaborated with directors of the caliber of Mario Bava, Dino Risi, Sergio Leone and Luchino Visconti. However, it will only be the films shot alongside the Neapolitan actor that will give him international notoriety and the status of sex symbol for the fairer sex.
After some experiences behind the camera, Terence Hill took on the role of historian Don Matteo of the fiction of the same name, a long-lived and fruitful experience that lasted from 2000 to 2022. In this last year, however, he decided to hang up his habit: what is the unforgettable protagonist of the TV series up to now?
Terence Hill and his affection for the character of “Don Matteo”
In 2022 Terence Hill passed the baton of “Don Matteo” to his colleague Raoul Bova, and his presence on video is rare. However, his twenty years of experience in fiction represents an important block in his experience, and leaving his character cost him a lot.
In fact, he reported to “Vanity Fair”: “In reality I didn’t want to stop doing ‘Don Matteo’, I just wish I had done it differently, because the times on set were very demanding. During the filming of this last season, the working days were very long: I slept 5 hours a night. Beautiful, for goodness sake, but also tiring“. Subsequently, Terence Hill not only abandoned the loyal spectators of Don Matteo, but also his native country: this is where he lives now and upcoming projects in the pipeline…
