Alessandro Borghi, star of the film “Suburra” and last year the protagonist of the film “Eight Mountains” with Luca Marinelli, after working as a stuntman at the Cinecittà studio, has become the most respected actor in Italy and abroad. What is the secret of the 37-year-old player’s success? His expressive eyes and his true humanity. Besides the fact that he’s cool…
TOLessandro Borghi, who turned 37 on September 19, 2023, is perhaps one of the few Italian actors who were able to truly make a name for themselves in Hollywood. Women have achieved much better results in recent years, just remember the recent success Sabrina Impacciatore, Simone Tabasco and Beatrice Granno from the award-winning series White Lotusbut also to Matilda de Angelis, who worked with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant in Cancel or again to Valeria Bruni Tedeschi revered in France (and also in Italy). In this regard, aside Marcello Mastroianni and Roberto Benigni What are the names of male artists who have achieved moderate success beyond national boundaries? Raul Bova tried to play together Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie in Tourist and the inevitable Pierfrancesco Favino (whom the States, however, never noticed). Most of the time, local actors were used only to perform extras or special figures, as in the case of Riccardo Scamarcio V Taste of success With Bradley Cooper where there are hardly three or four bars. In the end, one of the few who had the opportunity to play a significant role in an international production was he, the same Roman Alessandro Borghi. And let’s hope this is just the beginning…
THATAlessandro Borghi’s cinematic baptism began ten years ago. Criminal Rome (2013, as Marco Lanzi), Subura (2015, starring Aureliano Adami, known as “Number 8”) and Don’t be naughty For this latter role, he was nominated for the David di Donatello Award for Best Leading Actor in 2016. After his success on the small and big screen, everyone wants Borghi to appear abroad too. And in a very short time the main role comes. Devils An Italian, British and French television series set in the world of high finance in London, co-produced and broadcast by Sky Atlantic, and filmed in English with Patrick Dempsey. Here our Borghi, the only one who played in English, dubbed in the Italian version by Andrea Mete, proved thatItalian cinema abroad is possible.
BI like Orgi because behind this simple masculine appearance he hides all that shyness, irony, expressive complexity that in Italy and abroad is difficult to find in other actors of his generation. A boy with no experience, who, unlike Luca Marinelli (with whom he created the masterpiece “Eight Mountains”) and others like him, never studied acting, attracts with his expressiveness and those fluid and intense eyes that always evoke emotions in us. Borga has a huge merit: he knows how to infuse someone else’s life into the characters he plays. The actor who never allowed himself to become too big is still the same person who, years ago, expressed the desire to see himself from the outside, through the eyes of his family, to enter the center of their joy, while in recent years they have seen him change life. Where will we see him next? Luckily for a large part of the public, he will be Rocco Siffredi in the Netflix series about Italy’s most beloved hardcore actor. By 2024, we will be able to see the Italian macho in literally all images, even naked. Although we have already tasted it. Veiled Naples from Ozpetek.
