“Yeah, that night I texted him ‘don’t fuck off’. He had been drinking. Anthony had the drinking problem that I had. It was weird, irritable that night. The next day, after Weinstein’s difficult years, I should have started my adventure on the X Factor. But we mustn’t think that he took his own life for that, we had fought many other times. Asia Argento speaks in “Domenica In” about the tragic death of her ex-partner Anthony Bourdain, the famous New York chef, who committed suicide on June 8, 2018.
“The problem – explains Asia – is that when someone is depressed it makes them feel bad, and there’s a big lesson we all need to learn and I think that’s what Anthony wants from up there: suicide is an extreme gesture , but whoever does it right now just wants relief, they don’t really want to die. He’s just trying to stop his thoughts that are too heavy, too strong. ”
And “unfortunately – continues Dario Argento’s daughter – when you’re in this situation of a major mental illness, you don’t ask for help, you’re afraid of breaking the boxes, you’re ashamed. You didn’t do that, that has one done.” does not ask for help, neither me nor his wife.”
“We’d both been drunk before, but there was something odd about him that night that I couldn’t explain. But that evening he was with his best friend, I thought: he’ll talk to him, he’ll let off steam with him.” “He’ll get drunk with him. But unfortunately he never saw us again,” remembers Asia Argento recalled some details of the evening the tragedy unfolded shortly after the two chatted on their phones. “Of the people who survive suicide, half cannot explain why they did it, and the other half admittedly say it was for trivial reasons,” he adds.
“I haven’t had a drink in almost a year and a half. It’s the most important thing I’ve done for myself. Like Anthony, I had a real problem with alcohol. One, when he drinks, thinks that it helps him, instead of drinking depression. Time becomes a sedative”.
