This foreign born B- list mostly movie actor is only this high because he did win an Academy Award. Without it he would be at D list by now. He was kind of a one movie wonder. During that big award season he ticked off studios right and left with a huge diva attitude only matched by his actress wife. They paraded through town going to event after event demanding more and more things and even had a rider they had their agent present before they would agree to an appearance. He complained about the studios while at the same time asking studios to pay him $20M to act and direct in a new movie. Still, though, he was hot so they gave him a big budget movie to act and direct in. Total bomb. Horrible. The studios though, didn't care. They were so happy to have an excuse to never talk to him or work with him again. He and his wife have never worked in Hollywood again.
jean dujarin
ReplyDeleteJean DuJardin/The Artist?
ReplyDeleteRoberto Benini?
ReplyDeleteHe is divorce now though from Alexandra Limy.
ReplyDeleteOoooh- I like that!Nicoletta Beschia and Beningi ding ding. I remember hearing that about him. Nice MM
ReplyDeleteRoberto Begnini
ReplyDeleteIt's either him or Christoph Waltz.
ReplyDeleteNeither has many directing credits. Waltz is married to a costume designer.
Did he direct anything after "Life is Beautiful"? He was so obnoxious at that Oscars show. Ick.
ReplyDeleteI liked the film,. though.
I think Benigni's big follow up fail was Pinocchio(acted/directed). Then really nothing and last credit is 2012(Woody's film To Rome with Love).
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure this behavior is awful or unusual enough to warrant virtual banishment and shunning.
ReplyDeleteBomb that he directed was The Players---directly after
ReplyDeletewon the Oscar in 2012, Players came-out in 2013
Benini won in 1997 and Pinochio did not come out till 2002
Robero Begnini, with Pinnochio as the bomb back in 2002
ReplyDelete*Roberto Benigni
ReplyDeleteRoberto B. Pinocchio was a disaster and he and his producing partner/actress wife are known to be demanding.
ReplyDeleteJDJ is divorced and still works a lot.
Signing on to Benigni - he came to mind instantly. Good work @MontanaMarriot!
