Lino Banfi has made an irrevocable decision: he will not continue his adventure on “Dancing with the Stars”. The actor reveals this in an interview with the weekly newspaper “Chi”. Despite the audience’s affection and appreciation in the first episodes, the Apulian actor explained the reasons for his decision. “This was something I had decided before starting and I had not told anyone, not even my relatives,” Banfi said. “I always decide for myself. I was just waiting for the right moment to say it.”
“I know how the program works: from the fourth episode we start talking seriously about dancing, and I don’t have the years or the strength to go all the way,” the popular actor added. Who admits: “I used the marketing strategy. I wanted to be the one who decides when to leave: not as a loser, but after making a good impression.” Banfi’s frankness does not end there: the actor admitted that he had agreed to take care of his friend, who died some time ago woman to take part in the broadcast. “When her days ended and she no longer recognized anyone, I went through bad times… If I agreed to do dancing after 18 years of people asking me to do it, it was also as a favor to her.”
