Edoardo Pesce: “In search of shades”

Speaking of his shell: many describe his size as a rugby physique.
“Perhaps. I have thin legs. The shoulders a little more developed because I swam ».

Boxing too, right?
“At twenty. I’ve been doing it for five years. “

In short, he is a sportsman.
“I try to move, even if it’s not easy because I’m lazy.”

Does moving help you unload?
«I’m not stressed, I’m really lazy, I like doing nothing. I love being at home, playing, reading: I like being with myself. Perhaps this work also has something to do with it, which brings you into contact with so many people and so many pressures ».

Yet, in On the edge of evil, it seems anything but lazy, since it is the protagonist of several sex scenes.
“I am very ashamed. If I can be a little cool, that’s okay too, it doesn’t hurt ».

Embarrassed?
“A little yes, even if they are not so explicit scenes, but functional to the character.”

When he was 7 he tried his hand at imitations. Who were his victims?
«Verdone when he was the voice of Leo, Corrado, Beppe Grillo, Totò, Montesano. I used to do these things at home to get the positive feedback from relatives. It was a way to get feedback ».

What would he have wanted to do when he grew up?
“Maybe something televised. Even the conductor ».

Instead he devoted himself to acting.
“In high school I had this friend who told me to try. I started in my twenties and I liked it. I didn’t have in mind to be an actor, as happens to many kids now ».

What did you like about acting?
«Living in a sort of bubble in which I could express myself without filters, without judgments. Through acting you can be something different, pure. It is a world where everything is allowed ».

Another passion of his is music. When it starts?
«When I was 12 I started playing the guitar. I’ve always liked the blues ».

When was the Orchestraccia band born?
“It was born from a theatrical show in which I did 4 or 5 characters and each of them had a musical verse that I had written, I was born in Tor Bella Monaca».

“Of course. Indeed, if one is in tune, it acts even better. I’d like to make a film about a musician ».
