When asked directly whether or not he would have been a columnist for theIsland of the Famous, Tommaso Zorzi he replied dryly: «Physically I need to stop, I would not have been myself and, perhaps, I would have given less to the program». Just two days later, however, things changed and Mediaset announced that Zorzi will be sitting next to Iva Zanicchi on Monday 15 March, starting date of the first Isola conducted by Ilary Blasi. «Since Elettra Lamborghini tested positive at Covid and this would have compromised the start of the program on the front of the commentators, when I was asked to fill the role I didn’t feel like saying no “Tommaso explains on the phone, in the midst of what he himself calls” a blender “who , at the same time, it is giving him a lot of satisfaction.
After the victory of the fifth edition of Big Brother Vip, the longest in the history of reality TV, Tommaso lives a period «where there is an astral conjunction that is favoring me a lot. After GF I’m starting to crown all my television dreams that, now, they are still in an embryonic phase: you have to say the right no, say the right things to the right people “continues Zorzi who, after leaving the Cinecittà House (the prize money was given to the RSA and the elderly – “I was left without grandparents, it would make me very proud to be able to be a grandson for other grandparents” -), has gained a million followers on Instagram, has collected the compliments of Maria De Filippi, met Paolo Bonolis for a series of sketches that we will see at the end of April ad Come on another one and he has gained a not just certainty: the fact that Mediaset has decided to continue investing in him.
Does it have a bit of performance anxiety due to the fact that Mediaset is focusing a lot on you?
“Actually, no. I think I have shown al GF what I am capable of, even if at this stage I would not like to accept projects bigger than me. There was also the possibility of evaluating a leading role, but I believe that on TV it is necessary to gain experience. Since there is no school, you learn TV by doing it, and that’s exactly what they are giving me the opportunity to do ».
A few days before the announcement, to the direct question of Alfonso Signorini, he said that he would not have made the columnist at theIsola because he felt the need to stop.
“I didn’t feel like leaving a hole after Elettra’s situation: they gave me an opportunity to do it by entrusting me, hand in hand, with another management project on the online, a ‘Island Off which excites me a lot because it is a project that I am convinced I can do to the best of my strength ».
Of this Island Off we had a taste at the GF with his Late Show, after all …
“That was a bit of a springboard, an experiment born from an idea of mine and developed thanks to the maximum support of the authors of the GF: I believe the Late Show has consecrated me for a television future independent of the program ».
Let’s go back toIsola: what columnist will he be? Poisonous, sympathetic?
«Having just come out of a reality show and having also won it – let’s underline it -, I know what you have to do to be a competitor appreciated by the public and I know what needs to be done to trigger functional dynamics for the show. If I see a situation of flatness, I will surely be the one who will try to move the castaway so that he does not rest on his laurels: it is true that you are fighting with the sun, the sand, the sea, the hunger and the mosquitoes, but you are still part of a show television and you have to bring out the interpersonal dynamics. I don’t like mediators, I don’t like those who are not linear and who are not consistent with their way of thinking. On the other hand, I like those who take risks and say what they think. At a time when we are all glued to the TV, you have to give this to me ».
Among the castaways, on paper, is there anyone who inspires you?
“Being a young man, I believe in young people, therefore in Awed, a guy who comes from the web and who has the opportunity to make the big leap. My challenge, however, will be to try to relate well with Ilary because the synergy between conductor and commentator in a show is fundamental ».
It will be a debut for both of us, after all.
«It will be a great one Isola, Ilary’s return is highly anticipated and we will all do our best to support her ».
When Elettra becomes negativized, will she remain a columnist together with Iva Zanicchi?
“Exactly, I’m really excited for this adventure.”
An adventure that comes immediately after another, that of GF, which coincided with the start of Sanremo: are you sorry that the winner’s honors are coming a little late?
«But no, television is a very rich period, but for me all this is a dream: to get out of an experience like GF and enter a container as prestigious as theIsola it’s wonderful”.
He told Alfonso Signorini that al GF he would do everything he did, “and even worse.” Are you still convinced of it?
“Sure. When you are in there you have no awareness of what is happening outside and you do not know how to calibrate yourself, whether to press the accelerator or not. If sometimes I didn’t do it, it was to mentally preserve myself, since it was a very strong experience: if I had started at 100%, I would not have kept the fuel that I would have needed to keep going. The problem is that, with all those extensions, it was difficult to measure because we didn’t know when it would end, we had to sail on sight ».
In the House she has built wonderful relationships, so much so that Francesco Oppini, Elisabetta Gregoraci, Enock Barwuah and Andrea Zelletta congratulated her on social media for theIsola.
«The true friendships I made in there are these, plus Stefania Orlando, of course».
The return to life as usual was traumatic: in a Stories he told his followers that he had anxiety attacks several times. How did you experience it?
“Like a shock. If in the House you were used to managing hunger, sleep and thirst, outside you have to manage your life and what it entails. We are continuing to be assisted by the psychologist of the GF for reintegration into everyday life: in my opinion it will still take a month to return to psychological normality, but I don’t have the luxury of allowing myself two weeks in a hermitage right now. Probably my trial will be longer than that of the others, but I’m sure the game is worth the candle, because I’m doing a lot of cool. “
Once you left the house, what effect did you see the increase in followers on Instagram?
“I got a million, a record. I have always had a very close relationship with those who follow me but, since I am now gravitating towards a project that is more television than social, they make me a bunch because I can’t post as an influencer. One prick at a time and I am convinced that they will be able to calibrate me ».
After all, those who have had the compliments of Maria De Filippi need to set a tone.
“I can’t give it to myself, unfortunately. For me, Maria is the idol of idols, it is as if a motorcyclist had met Valentino Rossi. His appreciations were one of the best moments not only of GF, but of my life ».
One thing Maria said is that at first she gives an “unpleasant” impression, then one knows her and understands who she is. Agree?
«Being impulsive, at first you may not understand me, but I think I am a good person: if you have an interest in knowing me, you realize that behind this impetuousness there is no hyena. In the end you also love me ».
The last time we spoke, she had expressed several reservations on Twitter which, however, during the GF supported her to the point of creating a hashtag, #TZVip, which was always in trend. Has he changed his mind?
«Absolutely yes, now I love Twitter, it’s a lot of fun and has a different creativity than Instagram. I like to get lost in the maze of comments, even if not all of them are positive: it is a social network that I have re-evaluated a lot ».
As you have just said, there are those who “get a bitter liver for their success.”
“That’s the price to pay, but that’s okay. I am flattered by the people who want to see me fall, but I will not give them this satisfaction, they will have to wait a little longer ».
Another nice thing that gave her the GF it was to find a friend: Aurora Ramazzotti. How did it go?
“When the feelings are true and there is a friendship of years behind, the cameras do not help: everything we had to say would not have entered a block of the GF. We talked for an hour and a half on the phone and, as soon as it is possible to meet again, it will be the first one I will meet. We clarified”.
