Since leaving the set of “Don Matteo”, Terence Hill has disappeared from the radar: this is how the star of fiction lives now.
Born in Venice in 1939, Terence Hillborn Mario Girotti, is one of the most representative actors on Italian television, also thanks to his long artistic partnership with his colleague Carlo Pedersoli, aka Bud Spencer.
The close-knit pair began working together in a completely serendipitous manner in the early 1970s, ushering in the genre's most successful season Spaghetti Western.

However, last year he decided to give up his habit: what is the unforgettable protagonist of the TV series to date?

In 2022, Terence Hill passed the baton of “Don Matteo” to his colleague Raoul Bova, and his presence on video is rare. However, twenty years of experience in fiction represent an important block in his experience, and parting with his character cost him a lot.
In fact, he reported to Vanity Fair: “I actually 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 the last season, the working days were very long: I slept 5 hours a night. For God's sake, beautiful, but also tiring. Terence Hill then left not only Don Matteo's loyal viewers, but also his home country: this is where he lives and lives upcoming projects in the pipeline…
