  • Part 9: • Gianni Russo on Robbin...
    Part 7: • Gianni Russo on Bonann...
    Part 1: • Gianni Russo on VladTV...
    --------
    In the latest clip, Gianni Russo explained how he was able to launder money legitimately for years. He also gave the backstory to his real life feud with "Godfather" co-star James Caan. According to Russo, their issues began after a joke backfired and almost caused Paul Castellano's underboss to kill Caan. As a result, Caan broke two of Russo's ribs during their fight scene in "The Godfather."

    This guy acts like everything in life just fell in his lap. he was a king everywhere he went yet he acts surprised that it happened like can you believe that? "I just walked in a bank and they just gave me a million for smiling. Crazy right? "

      @spentlizard353 Před 6 měsíci

      That’s not what happened, the show The Offer made that up for dramatic license. The actual reason he beat him up is owing to a disagreement between the two that started in a bar where Caan made a comment to some gangster and almost got Russo killed so Russo and him were on bad terms from then on.

    You would think that being an actor on the big screen would be exciting enough; to think of all this other stuff going on with them, is surprising. Just think of what Mr. Russo might be doing right now... I grew up on that very block where Sonny kicked his behind... 118 Street and Pleasant Avenue. That building he stands in front of, before he tries to flee, was a social club run by my neighbor down the block... she owned a few other businesses around Pleasant Avenue... I used to buy weed in that building James trash canned Gianni before. That old moving truck parked perpendicular to the street like that, was to block the view of the modern day auto traffic of the F.D.R. Drive which is like a highway in the city.
