Teocoli: “My father hit me and my mother. Abatatuono? Never helped anyone. Mimì and Amanda Lear … ” AreaNapoli.it

Teo Teocoli, actor and showman, guest of Francesca Fagnani’s Belve on RaiDue, is back to talk about the falling out with Adriano Celentano that ended a sixty-year friendship. “I was in Verona – says Teo – I called him a couple of times and we haven’t heard from each other since. Celentano wanted me to imitate him perfectly so that I could present the show for him, but Mediaset didn’t like this”. Then surprising words about Diego Abatantuono: “He never helped anyone”.

Teocoli then said that he was not engaged to Loredana Bertè and Mia Martini (Mimì) at the same time, returning to a previous statement in which he stressed that he had never had any experience with men but had thought about it: “About the In the ’70s there were certain transvestites who made heads turn, like Amanda Lear, she was Salvador Dalí’s muse and didn’t turn me on in the slightest”.

Finally, a dramatic memory of his father: “One afternoon a friend of my father’s came, when I was returning home, my father and his friend were listening to Mussolini’s speeches on a record player. Then I thought: But my father really is a fascist of shit. A hard fight started, the slaps turned into fists for me and my mother, and this thing lasted until I was grown, then later I hung it on the wall. I was right not to go to his funeral, my mother worked on him all day and didn’t do anything.”
