Great interview with Lillo, Rachel. I love the movie "A Bronx Tale" Lillo, I am glad to see you made it through those dark days of addiction. Seems like you are on the right side & helping others through their dark days. I think you are a good man who, like all of us, made some mistakes on our path through life but that you have learned some costly lessons & have turned your life around while now helping others to find the light in their lives. God loves you.

I got to meet Lilo back in 2000 at a lounge I was working at in Manhattan. He was a super nice guy. He chopped it up with me for a few minutes at the door . He was only 2 years older than me so A Bronx Tale hit really close to home for me because I grew up on White Plains Road and Pelham Parkway! He seems to be doing really well and thanks to the internet I can watch his career and progress!

He said growing up Italian? He’s was born in Colombia to colombian parents.

[@danmcgivern4057]

His adoptive parents who raised him were Italian Americans.

All those drugs made Lilo lose his good looks.
