Danny, son of Anthony Quinn, looks back on his relationship with his father, an actor who died in 2001. “Being a great artist does not mean being able to teach,” is the story of a 51-year-old man.
Danny, son of Anthony Quinn, recalls the relationship with his father, an actor who died in 2011. The less than idyllic relationship with a parent he describes as a father who is not too present and also proof of his ability to teach. “FSome time ago I thought that I was not enough. My father has acted in more than 300 films. I thought: if I don’t do at least 280, people will start comparing.”, says the Italian actor, model and director. Danny was born from a bond between his father Anthony and Jolanda Addolorialso an actress.
Danny Quinn and his acting career
Several films for film and television in which he took part. A large number, but far from what his father, who starred in over 300 films, achieved. Such a comparison, Danny says, often put him in a difficult position: “Being a great artist does not mean being able to teach. Did he encourage me? When he told me that in life you need to fight, I thought: “I’m not like you.” You’re from the street, I’m Anthony Quinn’s son! I grew up in the best hotels in the world. I didn’t suffer from hunger, it’s impossible that I had the same motivation as you.”“. To exacerbate his sense of insufficiency even when compared to actors his age:In the mid-nineties, all my peers fled, Brad Pitt, Robert Downey Jr. No. I fell into a long depression“.
Anthony Quinn’s children, Danny: ‘I’d say 13, but maybe there are two more’
Finally, Danny tries to count the siblings he shares the same father with. A figure that he does not consider accurate: “Every time you have to count … I would say 13. From his first wife he had five children, the second was my mother and three of us were born, two from a French woman, one from a German woman and two from her assistant. . But it looks like there are two more in Mexico City.“. He admits that he tried unsuccessfully to contact some of them: “I recently tried to contact the children he had with women other than my mother and found that not only did they not talk to each other, they didn’t even want to talk about him. I had no idea that he left these wounds“.
