It is once again a moment of great and deserved visibility for Massimo Lopez, who is touring Italian cinemas with Tullio Solenghi with “Where we were left”, an exciting show like all the duo’s works. However, during one of the interviews at the start of the show, there was a misunderstanding that the actor and voice actor immediately wanted to clear up because his words had been “misinterpreted by the journalist,” Lopez claims. In a sentence reported by the weekly newspaper Oggi, the actor defined himself as “straight and single”, a definition that is also included in the title of the interview.
