When agents suggest actors to promote themselves on Instagram to increase engagement, as if success depended more on followers than talent, Margherita Mazzucco it is the exception that proves the rule. He has a private profile in which he accepts only friends, has given very few solitary interviews, and even on the Net there is inaccurate or incomplete information on the most significant points of his life, such as the year of his birth: there are those who write that he is of 2002 and who writes that it is from 2004. “I’m from 2002”, explains Margherita on the phone from her home in Naples, ready to end up in the cauldron of the third season ofBrilliant friend, History of those who flee and those who remain, the last chapter of the saga taken from the quadrilogy by Elena Ferrante who will see her in the role of Lenù and which we will see on Rai1 from 6 February.

In this new season, Margherita Mazzucco no longer lends her face to a teenage girl, but to a thirty-year-old married woman with children who tries to balance a life built on dissatisfaction with the results obtained and on Lila’s perennial approval. brilliant friend who, unlike her, ended up in a limbo dominated by fatigue, illness and consumption. While Lila goes down, Lenù goes up, yet there is always something that disturbs her and that does not make her live serene, as if she always wanted more and was never satisfied. Unlike the character she plays, Margherita knows her stuff: she answers questions in a dry and sure way, while maintaining a shyness and a purity that both the audience and the directors immediately perceive in her. After The Brilliant Friendwe will see it, in fact, in Clearthe new film by Susanna Nicchiarelli who sees her in the role of the saint of Assisi, a red thread of candor and innocence from which Margherita Mazzucco hopes, sooner or later, to free herself.
Is it better to be interviewed alone or as a couple?
“Sometimes I need to have Gaia (Girace, ed) because it brings me to the memory of the things we did a long time ago and stimulates me. But even alone I feel good ».
I start from a sentence that Lenù says at the end of History of the new surnameand when he explains that he feels “almost”. Has it happened to her?
«Yes, I don’t feel like a ‘whole’. I am like Lenù, as if something is always missing».
What is missing?
“I do not know. I am very restless. After theBrilliant friend I became hyperactive, always looking for something new ».
And what does it do?
“Lately I started reading again: before I was very busy with work and school and I couldn’t do it. And then I’m trying to be outdoors a lot: I walk a lot, it helps me to disconnect ».
Do you listen to music while walking?
“Yup”.
Do you also listen to a specific playlist when preparing a role?
«Not for Lenù. For Chiara, Susanna Nicchiarelli sent me some songs to listen to. One was Little girl“.
The risk of being forever trapped in Lenù evaporated immediately.
“Three days after finishing theBrilliant friend, I was already in preparation for Clear. I was surprised that it was so easy to switch between roles. I thought I had more problems getting out of Lenù ».
