The actor explains the contrasts with the singer: “Everything comes from Adrian”. And he points the finger at his wife
“Well, it's a new formula…I'm stunned, after so much time, so many years, so much bullshit, so much fun together.” This is how Teo Teocoli responds to Adriano Celentano today after: “If I don’t respond, it’s because I love you! » uttered by Molleggiato to explain to him why he no longer answered his phone calls. For Teocoli, “this thing of not hearing from him in this period, at this moment when there are so many problems… not seeing each other anymore is sad for me.” But she won't try to call him back: “No, I gave up, he should have called.” I'm sorry. Suddenly, after a lifetime, silence,” he said in an interview with Corriere della Sera.
The feud between Teocoli and Celentano
Teocoli himself made it official a few days ago that there were no longer good relations between the two. The actor complained about the non-responses on the phone. And Celentano replied mockingly: “I do it because I love you.” Teocoli explained that Celentano hasn't responded to him for five years now. In the conversation with Renato Franco, he says that he met him for the last time “four years ago, the tradition of his birthday on Epiphany remained. This time Morandi was also there. Then I called 10,000 times, but no one ever answered. » And he accuses Claudia Mori, who does more than filter: “She does everything, she's the boss, when she decides something, it must be like that. She wasn't so light with Adriano's friends, in fact, she kind of turned everything upside down.”
Adrian's flop
Even between the two of them, but not much more: “Well, despite the arrival of Claudia – who upset the balance – for years we found ourselves at home playing, singing, telling stories… “. But the beginning of the end was Adrian, the cartoon television program that was a resounding failure. Or rather, as Teocoli says, an “unfortunate broadcast: Adriano called me and asked me to do it himself: in the sense that I had to interpret it. He told me: you don't have to imitate, you have to be Celentano yourself. He wanted me to present the film. It seemed like half a scam to impersonate him, but I didn't want to say no and told him that if we could do it, it would be a miracle. We didn't talk about money because I knew Claudia would take care of it and she's very upset about it so it was better to wait. Except that in the meantime they had all left: Manara, Michelle Hunziker, Ambra.”
Friendship
At that moment, Teocoli remembers, “I too stopped, I didn't do anything, because there was nothing to do.” Now he misses “friendship” more. This cannot be called a habit, but we used to meet. Of course, over time he was in Galbiate less and less, he didn't come to Milan often. And remember their rites:
“When Adriano was writing a new piece, we would go to the recording studio to listen to it, every now and then he would come out and shout: don't make a mess! That wasn't true, he just couldn't remember the words and had made up something to review them. In these areas, he was a great liar.” For this reason, he says, he knows how to imitate him very well: “The bad hat he wears, the light and pointed boots, the baggy jeans: as soon as the people see me like that, they laugh without me saying anything.”
The Cantagiro
The last memory is precisely an imitation during the Cantagiro: “There were columns of people along the road like at the Giro d'Italia, we were in many Fiat spiders in columns. As soon as Adriano passes, people start shouting louder. Two cars later, I arrived pretending to be Celentano and doing his moves. And I hear shouting: look, there is another one!
