Fedez and the interview (without taboos) with Belén Rodriguez: from Fabrizio Corona to OnlyFans

Although it has been on the air on YouTube for years, it is a pity that the local press has dealt very little with Wild Moss, the program conducted by Fedez and Luis Sal who, beyond the first-rate guests who gather from episode to episode, managed to set up a formula so iconic and recognizable that it could very well be exported to TV and, perhaps, resurrect a difficult band like that of the second evening that has been floundering for decades, looking in vain for a new lymph. Together with the green and fake grassy background, the screen on which Luis projects his online research and the light wooden table on which the microphones rest, the true strength of Wild Moss lies in the complicit and companionable atmosphere that Fedez and Luis Sal manage to entertain with their guests, finally free from that awe that seems to accompany them every time they go on television to tell each other to promote something. The guest of one of the most interviewed showgirls of the showbiz, Belén Rodriguezconfirms how precious it is to develop a neutral and trust-filled territory to bring a character to talk about everything, even about topics considered taboo.

In this eighty-fifth episode, Belén confides in a way she had never done before: reveals that in Argentina he could not aspire to a career because he was too short and too curvy, but also that it was Lele Mora who got her the much-needed residence permit only to take leave of her agency after just two months. The reason? An environment that is “too colorful”. From there the conversation moves on to the historical ex of Belén, Fabrizio Corona, that one day yes and the other also never misses an opportunity to mention Fedez in his Instagram Stories. “She hates Me,” Federico explains before Belén intervenes. “In my opinion he has a bit of it with everyone. She does it to make the news, she likes to piss her balls off, ”says Rodriguez, adding that, despite everything, she still loves Corona. The most interesting reflection, however, concerns the evolution of Italian television over the years. “When I started it was more modern, there was the possibility of investing and there was the courage not to play it safe,” he says before Fedez says it about him. “I think about LOLwhich is however a novelty while generalist TV always focuses on these fucking formats that have been on the air for years because there is no willingness to take risks. It’s still the same heated shit. ‘

At that point, Belén pulls in the middle of the program that he leads this year with Teo Mammucari, that is Hyenas, which has been on the air for more than twenty years. “I’m proud to do it,” she says. “Before, when I was young, he was over the top, now he’s aged a bit,” points out Fedez. “We should add young people to freshen up”replies Belén who, courageously, explains that there is something positive on today’s TV according to her. «The other day I saw an interview with Pasolini and I thought about how much modernity there was in an era that was not modern. Today, however, we are so modern that everything is ancient “: a reply that, for as long as we can remember, Belén has never released either from Fazio or in any other TV lounge where she was a guest. It’s nice, though, that Wild Moss allow yourself brackets that would probably be censored on TV: such as the discussion on the success of OnlyFans and the possible idea of ​​Chiara Ferragni to post pictures of feet with perhaps the aim of donating the proceeds to charity. Between Belén explaining that he picks up everything that falls to the ground with his feet and Fedez talking about his psychiatrist’s advice to embrace the “child self”, it goes without saying how beautiful it is when two artists manage to confront each other so openly allowing themselves the right moments of seriousness and fun. If the small screen were able to reproduce even a quarter of that atmosphere, it would also benefit the spectators, increasingly anesthetized and in search of something new.
