“The betrayal between Sarcina and Clizia? It horrifies me, I thought he was a friend”

Riccardo Scamarcio was a guest on the episode of Beasts of November 19th and, in the study of the Rai2 programme, he spoke for the first time about the affair which saw him unwillingly involved together with Francesco Sarcinahis great friend, and his ex-wife Clizia Incorvaia. A betrayalaccording to the leader of Le Vibrazioni. Just a single kiss, according to Incorvaia. “Francesco Sarcina was a great friend of mine. I thought so. But no because he never wanted to listen to me. I understand but this story horrifies me so much that I don’t want to talk about it”, declares the actor in Fagnani’s studio, preferring, however, not to delve into the matter.

The thanks never reached Federico Moccia

Launched in Italy by the film Three meters above the skyScamarcio was asked for his opinion on the statements of Federico Moccia who he claims never thanked him for that opportunity: “He’s crazy. I made the film with Luca Lucini, who was the director of the film. I’ve never denied that son, I love it”. Aware of being a good actor, Scamarcio does not shy away when Fagnani asks him to indicate three colleagues who are better than him: “Three Italian actors better than me? Elio Germano, Luca Marinelli, Sergio Castellitto. Hello beautiful”. However, he does not hide a certain annoyance towards the cinematographic environment which he claims gave him less than he deserved to receive: “The prizes? I haven’t won many. They all won. Valeria’s Euphoria was a beautiful film, I did a beautiful thing, an important character. Paolo Sorrentino’s Loro didn’t even nominate me”. This attitude of detachment is hidden in a summer habit that has always distinguished Scamarcio:

When I take my first swim in Polignano, I start playing dead and repeat to myself ‘You’ll never have me’. I resent this widespread attitude of belittling and simplifying on the part of the press and television. I’m angry with the whole system, which is the reason for the lack of prizes. There is a meritocracy and this is evident but you must not step on the toes of the wrong ones. I did it and then I went to work abroad to calm things down. I am referring to directors and producers.

The relationship with the fans: “At 16 they asked me to screw them”

“Some scamarcine were excessively loaded. Very explicit. Sixteen year olds looking at you and saying ‘Fuck me’. With mom behind saying ‘Yes, me too’. No, I’m joking”, says Scamarcio again, describing the period that marked the beginning of his career and the extraordinary success achieved with the character of Step. Another role that marked him and that he talked about in the studio is the one that saw him perform in a highly erotic scene together with Monica Bellucci:

The erotic scene with Monica Bellucci made me hate all Italian males. That’s a powerful scene. It was a soft experience. A wonderful work experience. It was a strong, even tiring experience. Seven hours of pretending to have sex, at a certain point one gets tired. There is a time when after 7 hours one may have some involuntary reactions. We are made of flesh and blood. One can pretend up to a certain point but after a while….

The love with Benedetta Porcaroli and the one that ended with Valeria Golino

“With Valeria Golino love never ends even if we don’t see each other. I think that love cannot ignore esteem. Since my respect for him is very high, everything else remains too”, Scamarcio said again, recalling the relationship with his fellow actress and director. Today, however, he is linked to Benedetta Porcaroli: “I am very much in love”. The final line, however, concerns betrayal: “I have never cheated. It happened to me with my body, but never with my heart. I am an extremely loyal person”. “But everyone is good like that”, Fagnani rebels. “As a boy I was more restless. Then I found peace of mind”, concludes the actor.
