Gianni Russo--Rare 1993 TV Interview, The Godfather

Haha im here after Vlad too 😂 He looks so different an not bad looking at all! Same laugh though. Yeah funny no mafia talk here! I believe his vlad interview too, I havent watched the valuentertainment interview yet but I like how that Patrick guy interviews.

Andrew What he says about somebody while they’re still alive would understandably be different than what he says about them after they’re dead. Especially if they come from a certain culture or way of life. Maybe he doesn’t need to know Sinatra while he’s alive, if you get my meaning.

[@Drew__Films]

[@CasperLCat]

When Michael takes the drink away from Carlo, you know he’s dead, despite the story about flying him to Vegas. As soon as Michael gets Barzini’s name out of him, Carlo doesn’t deserve one more atom of consideration as a human being - he’s “done” in the most serious sense of the word. Every word of dialogue, every costume choice, every look and gesture tells a story in Godfather, that’s why you love watching it over and over. Coppola’s Godfather I and II for me is the greatest directorial performance ever. His attention to detail in those films was unbelievable.

From polio and being quarantined for years, to his run in with Frank Costello and how that event changed his life. His run in to Pablo Escobar ,Saddam Hussein how washing hair led to a every teenaged boys dream of meeting Marilyn Monroe and dealings with the Kennedy ‘s. He’s a fun guy to be around and he will keep you laughing constantly. I hope Gianni or someone is writing a script about his life because his life was/is a movie.

Hi Bye DEMON! 👊🏾 Not today Satan! Not today! You really are PATHETIC and you KNOW it! Now, since I actually love Jesus, and I love myself, and I have a happy 😃 fulfilling life, I’m going to end this interaction with you right now. I am actually employed, so I’m off to work. But, before I go I just have one thing to say: Take good look at yourself in the mirror, there is darkness in your heart, it’s very obvious, REPENT and put your trust in JESUS, he will set you free from your self hate! 🙏🏾

His voice sounds heaps different from the Vlad interview

[@tengoodquestions]

even his voice is lying haha

[@charlescarter4608]

You're talking about 27 years apart

[@susanmartin4221]

His voice is lower, just like his balls!

[@TheLoyalOfficer]

He's much more of a braggart now than back in 1993 when he seemed a lot more humble. Probably a deadbeat Dad, too.

[@Edwardcast]

Fascinating interview.

[@davidmenzd5544]

love this.Godfather 1 and Godfather2 best movies ever

[@acesjeff]

When Brando said "I know you weren't on Broadway because I know everyone there", was his way of hitting on him.

[@mrglock2313]

Yes Marlon was bi, he wanted to bust them cheek's

[@He11boylalo]

I heard he messed with Richard Pryor

[@darthsometingsomething5814]

Marlon was tryna knock 👢

[@joepg1608]

Brando definitely hit it

[@ronaldcrenfro4637]

It's Him...so many interesting facts about this Man, amazing LIFE he has...He's been everywhere with EVERYBODY, doing something

[@ronaldcrenfro4637]

He killed his doctor, then killed a coke dealer, that worked for Escobar, and got completely away with it...

[@susanmartin4221]

He's like Forrest Gump,....Forrest Gump😂😂

[@joekuul8769]

This is hilarious! I used to deliver pizza to this guy, pretty regularly, in Tarzana, California, in the early to mid-90's. He had the hair slicked back, the tan, and an attractive young lady (who was just a few years older than me). As I got to know him a bit, I asked him what he did, and he told me he'd produced and acted in a Steven Seagal movie, and some other stuff that I don't recall. No mention of the Godfather (that I recall), and I hadn't seen it at that point, anyway, so wouldn't have recognized him. He had a Range Rover and I think a BMW in the driveway whenever I delivered, and he told me he had a Bentley in the garage (I only had a very vague notion of what a Bentley was then, lol). He actually offered me a job at one point, but I told him I was making good money (I had a full-time 9-to-5 job, plus the pizza delivery, and I thought I was rolling in the dough, lol), and turned him down. Who knows how things would have gone if I'd said yes? Edit: Let me stress that he was a nice guy, as was the lady, and he tipped well, lol.

It really is a small world. I see comments on these KZbin vids of people saying they've met so and so or their parent knew them etc....on the vids about Mafia people but so many comments saying 'Yeah right'. But it really is a small world and you never know who's met who. And so many say this fella is making up his stories but we never had the internet back then so people actually mingled and related to other people back then so much more than nowadays. So I believe this guy's stories he tells in present interviews

[@Alfakkin]

@@sunray8136 I'm Italian and I live in Italy...I believe him because he is not telling strange stories about the mafia but just the way it is...he is realistic believe me...

[@jaysonb.6669]

You did the right thing, he was trying to recruit you into the mafia! 😭😭

[@CharleneMitchell-x9s]

I remember seeing him for the first time in the Godfather and I said to all "my God this guy is really good looking" so handsome 😍!!

[@coreyoldknow272]

The Guy in 1993 . Seemed Calm . Collective. And seems serious about his craft. The Vlad video . Is completely. Awesome . The guy . Landed on Moon . Was Forrest Gump on Steriods . Pablo story . Is number 1 .

[@paraguaymike5159]

Gianni was supposed to get wacked, but Pablo was a huge Godfather fan and wanted to act out the Carlo scene with him. Can you believe it?

[@rayali9854]

Right when I watch the two interviews I ask myself wow who is that guy.

[@grayced3761]

Wow great voice🤩

[@Leba.Anatniuq]

The host is the inspiration for Martin shorts.... Jiminy Glick!!! Thats all I can think about when he speaks .. It has to be true

[@CommonCentrist82]

I like this version of Gianni better than the current version. He has a lot of tall tails as an old man.

[@qwesence1]

Ok I just saw the interview on Valuentertainment channel. He said he knew Sinatra and they had a love hate relationship. Now on this interview he's saying he doesn't really know him.... Hmmm Come on Gianna either he's your friend or not?! What gives?? Smh

[@petersmith9254]

Rick Q. He is old he get a pass he just want some attention

[@petes.6609]

He lies constantly.

[@LordCarolusMagnus]

I think it might be a mob thing because if you notice he doesn’t refer to his life in the mob he just says I was in business

[@snl4742]

Look at a couple of comments above yours.

[@redcomic619]

He’s a bullshit artist. He claims to have known any and everyone involved with the mafia from Carlo Gambino to Frank Cali. He even claims to have murdered one of Pablo Escobar’s henchmen but was let off the book because Pablo was a fan of The Godfather. Gianni is a wannnabe who is so obsessed with Italian-American culture he feels he needs to exaggerate and overcompensate despite having an already impressive career.

[@michealmailman3281]

Bro this dude is definetly Mob ties holy shit. He's the real deal. This theater buff was digging and couldn't figure Russo out lmfao.

[@ileavazan7693]

Sammy Gravano is a real deal ..Russo is full of shit hustler...

[@jamesmuller1077]

How are people so stupid 😩 are you 12?

[@paraguaymike5159]

@@ileavazan7693 Yep. Gravano and Franzese are real deal mob guys. Documented. But Gianni proposed both of them to get made. Can you believe it?

[@arlenmargolin1650]

@@ileavazan7693 it's true Russo has admitted not to be a made man and doesn't want to be or never wanted to be one for reasons that he knew the pitfalls I think he's a pretty smart guy whereas Sammy gravano is living in a total s*** bowl

[@baroneroberto3400]

he straightened them both out...
