For people that don't like him,What the hell do they want him to do? We have the highest recititvism rate in the world, and people get pissed when someone straightens their life. Getting clean,and staying clean is not easy. Credit to him for straightening his life

[@byronbenguche]

I give him credit at least he admitted his mistakes unlike most former drug addicts

[@Wildrover82]

not like he has much of a choice.

[@JerkVegas86]

Proof?

[@geoffedwards-tb4kp]

Byron Benguche' ALL FORMER ADDICTS accept their mistakes,they have to to stay of the shit!!or they gonna go back to it.Standard.

[@souljapolo96]

A Bronx Tale is a classic.

[@Adamas7]

He said he's 8 years sober. She said "That's Dope" lol

"Mickey Mantle don't care about you, so why should you care about him? Nobody cares." A lot of lessons in A Bronx Tale.

[@goukimess]

From that day on I never purchased another card or Jersey again.

[@Turin_Turumba]

50 uh ,Bentley uh ! 😎😎😎

[@mr.t8123]

ITS funny how no one mentions how the cop just opened fire on an unarmed man and shot him straight in the chest,, as far as im concerned, the cop got a taste of his own medicine..

[@Bananabread537]

Truth!

[@Benny.13]

Omg finally someone with some sense! Reason cause cops get every advantage cause they are cops and get an automatic 100 yard lead in every race! Their are so many crooked cops out there too that get away with this shit everyday and then saluted and ass kissed on the daily! Watch that Bradley Cooper movie the place beyond the pines !

[@dmays4964]

Damn right. I certainly don't shed a tear for a cop that gets killed

[@papidominicano799]

I think you’re kinda right, how the hell was lillo or anyone supposed to tell an off duty cop is an actual cop and not a fuckin fry cook? He didn’t disclose himself from the stories I’ve read/heard.

[@scottmartin7042]

I said the same thing man. Look at the evidence that was presented in court Witnesses testified that the cop just yelled don't move at Lilo then when Lilo ran he shot him three times. I thought cops were supposed to identify themselves as police and I also thought they were never supposed to shoot a suspect that is running away from them

[@noreliagaeta8505]

This guy is being very open and honest. I truly hope he has kicked that bad addiction.

[@studyhistory2ctruth]

So in a sense his friend saved his life. Cop shot him twice for turning around? Not running not running at cop no weapon just shoot?

[@Kellatrina]

The early break didn’t cause his troubles. He’s a good guy. At least he takes responsibility and owns his shit like a man.

[@VivaciousVirgO]

During this interview, I couldn't help but notice how often he glares at her eyes and mouth like “Damn! She's beautiful.” Believe me, I know. Columbians/Italians love us!

[@Bananabread537]

They sure do. 🤗

[@SVGIN]

Yeah they keep taking our black women im sick of it got dammit

[@zsb707]

She's definitely beautiful and sensual ... 😋

[@stevenarsenal1]

other way around as well she was def. feeling him

[@DsDHustla]

The interviewer is asking the questions in the wrong way . You can tell she is unexperienced by the way she responds . Get Jack Thriller or someone more experienced next time interviewing a big celeb like this.

[@MrJ1S]

my sentiments exactly. they have another girl thats good tho too i think. but jack probably knows the movie better and would be more interested in this guy this she is. plus it would be way more funnier w/ the pics and vid clips they put up

[@antoniogutierrezjr3175]

His friend saved his life the cop was off duty

[@maxxindustries1954]

Lillo is a standup man, I respect him and rhat he is doing great now and is always looking for a way ro help the community s affected by drugs.

[@InternetSenation]

Hairline on fleek!

[@kinaroxxz6996]

Lmaooo

[@ThisGuy-ru9ek]

Other thing he should have probably mentioned is how there is a solid routine in jail/prison. That helps believe it or not. That constant daily routine, something you can count on. It actually helps you discipline your mind. The other part of it is, you already know you can't do shit in there, so why worry? You've got time to eat up. One thing I can say about jail time is ... You can appreciate that discipline that it gives you. Get money or just sit around thinking, watch tv or all of the above.

[@ClassicRock1973]

addiction is tricky. a traumatic experience just makes you want to numb yourself even more.

[@carlosguiterez8037]

this is my only fav. track in the background from 50, be good be safe C

[@nuknuknuk111]

damn she fine 🔥 but a bronx tale is one of my favorite movies

[@pauldiaz4090]

You mean fat *

[@cuedini]

How was anybody in the wrong for the murder? Cop was in plain clothes off duty...and didn't tell them he was a cop....he was a regular person who shot someone and got shot hisself. From my understanding.

[@SVGIN]

The eules are different bro for cop u can b a used to be cop and still get special privileges look at the rapper rick rosss he beat up a house keeper abd still got out

[@eddiecongdon8017]

He takes full responsibility but it was his drug addictions fault

he's playin hazel over heeeeeeeeere!

Honestly he knew the Guy had a Weapon on him. They were both out to use and didn't care what had to be done to get more drugs

[@JMRWIGGLES]

i bet 50 gonna cast him in the power tv show!

[@thaistomp]

This was a good interview. Too many idiots on here complaining about the interviewer she did just fine keep it up girl.

[@brendagray9296]

@Alex Gemi fuck you

[@purplespite]

I gave this a thumbs up, but i wish Jack did this interview.

[@coinstacks2455]

Everybody juding him like their so fucking perfect.

[@upclose22]

Wow, tragic story. Sorry for the cop but also for Lillo. He is obviously sorry for his actions and the loss of the officer. He did his time and suffered along the way being shot twice himself. I wish him the best. Addiction is deadly.

[@JanoyCresva]

Yeah because cops lives are more important than anyone else's.

[@AngeK47]

cop tries to kill Lillo. Friend kills cop. "happy asshole, you let your friend kill a cop"

[@warriorv9359]

and god does do evreything for a reason

[@mardy341]

By giving him a second chance.

[@darkstar1650]

I was watching Bronx Tale one day by my sister's house and my brother in law came in and told me to shut it off cause lilo was involved in a cop kill and he's a retired cop! OMG

[@JohnLoCicero]

I always get the feeling that his remorse comes from his savvy more than his actual deepest thoughts. He feels bad because that's how he thinks he should feel. Then again, he didn't kill the guy. And plus, he got shot during all this. Best of luck to him. Kind of a sleazy dude, but not a monster.

[@dleyba4225]

Keep on truckin Lilo

[@salromano6052]

Stay clean Bro!

[@hdodgers4487]

Wow I didn’t know about this I love the movie a Bronx tale ... damn is Fuck up what happened to the people involved,well I hope he gets another landing hand to make movies he is great

[@dackmont]

Wow, he's starting to resemble Robert De Niro...

[@goukimess]

Great interview and the interviewer did well, what are some of you crying about?

[@crazydave951]

You got a second chance don't blow it stay clean homie.

[@haroutnalbandian945]

wow look at him taking up responsibility.

[@chvsegrixxy2038]

Hes a real one, my father was locked up with him when he was waiting sentencing on rikers island, spent alot of time talkon to him, and wheb he was up north someone tried to press him for the phone and he beat that man with the phone, he wasnt no bitch at all he did what he had to do

[@ryanmcnally8669]

Are you talking about your father or lillo with the phone thing??

[@jonjaquez]

him and lebron gna become best friends

[@JL90s]

Respect

[@vze21gwa]

Hate to say it, but it was the Officer's fault! He never identified himself. He should've called it in. Not to mention, he shot an unarmed man.

[@DanielRamirez-os1bg]

Yooo give this man a movie

[@BOBByBISHIP]

If he was Black they would have dropped the jail on him....he's out?

[@ASelfMadeProductions]

fuck here we go with the race card shit again

[@sixburgh64ss]

He did serve 8 years for attempted burglary.

[@usssanjacinto1]

He didn't have a gun nor did he shoot the cop. Lillo was actually shot by the cop who died at the hands of his partner.

[@antoniogutierrezjr3175]

Bobby Biship shit he Columbian he isn’t white

[@afvro75]

antonio gutierrez jr News flash: there is white people in Colombia as well believe or not. Lol. I’m one of them. Don’t mix ethnicity with race. These two can be mutually exclusive.

[@dannyirishgreene9309]

I could tell he read a lot of books. Books like the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People."

the cop tht got killed should have waited for back up. he opened fire on an unarmed man 2 times and grazed him once. lillo didnt even have a gun.. crazy situation

[@sweetnesssweetness330]

awww so sad. he was so cute.

[@r0mediddy]

This is tough to watch. Lillo was awesome but the interviewer was very inexperienced and hot mic'ing. She needs a lot of training before she can do this again.

[@bryanfrombuffalo7685]

U got enough make up om

[@emptye00]

Brian Frumps She looks like a straight CLOWN

[@cowboyluke1706]

He's full of shit. His partner had a makeshift shooting gallery in his basement, a place this guy had been to many times. They also went to another pals house prior to the robbery attempt where his partner had his gun out. It all came out in his partners trial, that and much more. Yet he wants us to believe he had no idea his buddy had a gun ! He has many discrepancies in a story that he's had about 8-9 years to nail down for interviewers. You run with someone like that and are a junkie out to break into a house, bad things happen. Someone said the cop opened fire on an unarmed man ! The cop was shot at first , returned fire and was killed with a gun !! Unarmed ? Boo Hoo for poor Lillo. Nice he's sober but he likes to gloss over his responsibility in the whole mess. There was also evidence presented that the off duty cop ID'd himself , had his badge around his neck as required and also called 911 before leaving his house to report a robbery, and was protecting his neighborhood, but you won't hear this guy address that in the many interviews he's done.

[@themako990mako9]

What a bad interviewer.

[@JMRWIGGLES]

bannano family connection

8 years in the can??? he mine aswell join the mob because his acting career is over..nobody will want to associate with a cop killer

[@corradocervino6079]

He's been casted for quite a few movies and a Russian pop stars music video already. He also does speeches for high schools and colleges to help prevent the youth from drug use, by using his fate as a symbol and example. Research, before commenting please.

[@corradocervino6079]

The snide and condescending remark was your initial comment. I just stated the obvious to research before you go and comment vindictive statements about a man's troubled past and his willpower to overcome his past. Point blank. Take a minute to read over this over..let it sink in.

[@usssanjacinto1]

He didn't kill the cop, his partner did, who is currently serving life in prison w/o parole. Lillo didn't have a gun, but was shot in the chest by the cop, and placed in critical condition.

[@VoidraMusic]

he was in solitary confinement...and somehow drugs flowed into his cell?

[@kden232]

VoidraMusic fishing 🎣

[@carlomango407]

this lillo brancato is Colombian born in Bogota.. check it out

[@damnmuggle]

yes its on his wikipedia lol he's adopted

[@BRadgambler]

I'm not quite sure how I feel either way about weather this guy should be in prison for life or not since a cop was killed during his crime, but I do know what the cops in NYC think, they'd kill this guy if they could. There were tons of cops at the court house when this guy was going through his trial trying to pursued everyone to give him life...

[@angelvila6212]

To me it's the same if he's involved in killing a cop or killing a Mcdonald's employee their both human, dont ya think ?

[@BRadgambler]

I re-read my message and didn't mean it that way, it just sounded like it. Insert the word "someone" in there instead of "a cop" and that's what I meant. I said "a cop was killed" the same way I'd have said "a guy got killed". So yeah I agree with you 100%, cop, mcdonald's, homeless person anyone. all the same and none are higher or lower than the other...

[@angelvila6212]

Bob Dobalina Same thinking here bud, peace

[@BRadgambler]

Yeah I'm surprised they didn't charge him with the murder too because most everyone else, even if you didn't know your partner in crime had a gun or not, you were there taking part in the same crime and if someone gets killed even though you weren't the shooter, everyone knows the laws have changed to where you're just as guilty...

[@angelvila6212]

[@chrisd2051]

Really a story of wasted talent.

[@judyevancic4926]

When the cop told him not to move he did by walking away. Next the cop sho t to stop him. Then this other druggie had a gun and shot the cop killing him. Adoption is no excuse to go done the wrong path. You after a certain way of life for yourself. He was given a huge opportunity and squandered it by doing drugs and drinking. How many times do kids and young adults need to see people in entertainment die from going down this destructive path? Keep yourself grounded and live a sensible life. Do your job, go home have dinner, volunteer in your community. Make good friends and keep a spiritual faith around your life. Give back someway. I think a second chance is good, and forgiveness is the best way to deal with a life lost. I know because I lost a son.
