The streaming platform’s teaser reveals that the exclusive interview with the presenter will appear on November 24th: Sometimes too much is said. Sometimes little is said. Sometimes it is said that it is wrong
There are those who give interviews for free (Totti) and those who sell them to Netflix (Ilary Blasi). Opposite strategies, but this too will not only be a major economic coup, but also a major media coup, because on November 24th everyone will want to hear Ilary Blasi talk for the first time about the end of his relationship with Totti.
The teaser, which was also broadcast during a Big Brother commercial break on Canale 5, promises a lot. Opening with the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica, Rome in its beauty and Ilary with its truth: sometimes too much was said. Sometimes little is said. Sometimes it is said that it is wrong. I want to tell you my story. To tell you a little about me and a lot of things you don’t know. Then she adds: I’m hardly excited or anxious, I’m not anxious at all. So here we are talking about me, a story that everyone has been talking about and a lot has been said about. Unica title, an ironic homage with a touch of mockery to the famous T-shirt (6 copies) that Totti wore in March 2002 after a great goal in the derby against Lazio.
Totti broke his silence in a Corriere interview with Aldo Cazzullo. The summary: In September last year (he was talking about 2021) the rumors started reaching me: Look, Ilary has someone else. Actually more than one. It seemed impossible to me. Instead I found the messages. In short, at the root of everything – his version – would be a betrayal. Many in Rome remember the words of Cassano, who knows Totti better than Freud: “I had more than 600 wives and I keep it low,” said Cassano, “the footballer who got the most money was Francesco Totti!” Me, Vieri and Inzaghi didn’t reach Pupo’s level. Then Ilary took it from my hand. But we know that the wolf or the pupo loses his fur, but not his vice.
Totti & Ilary, a story of pain and Rolex, of suffering and Chanel, a story that makes all of us viewers – children of a society of voyeurs – unique in these years of football and you, goals and thumbs in your mouth. This is where I learn to your stadium, we followed more and more as intruders, first with the covers of gossip magazines, then with social media, to make the lives of Ilary Blasi and Francesco Totti a permanent soap, fiction and continuous revelation in the collective hope of the perfect couple really existed. Now the new chapter, of course in streaming.
