Always liked him. I was a frequent guest at his club State Street in Las Vegas, it was so decadent, classy and the food was extraordinary. I remember the long stem roses that each female was given upon entering the club. I miss the good old days of Vegas.

Hi Scarlett, I miss them, too!! And WOW!! Gianni sure does look handsome STILL to this day!! I lived in Vegas back then ('78-'09) and I also remember the good times !! Jubilation, Rumors..used to play backgammon there, gosh I guess I can't even remember WHERE I used to go! lol
My roomie and I used to go to State Street quite often...but I can't believe I forgot about the roses!! Guess the memory aint as good as it used to be!!
We also lived on the 8th floor of the Marie Antoinette in '82 and Gianni lived on the Penthouse level and seemed to ALWAYS be right there on the balcony LOOKING when we were laying out by the pool. Haha Wonder if he has any photos of us! I'd sure love to see THOSE. lol Ahh, the good ole days. And I still miss Vegas. :(
This guy takes B/S to a new level
I love this guy! I don't care if 90% of his stories are bs, they're so entertainingly hilarious!
Oh my. He now claims to be the inspiration for the bar scene with the bikers in. Bronx take. He’s amazing
Love it when he says unbenownst to me. 👍🏻🗽
Unbeknownst to everyone cos its all bullshit
Too bad he can't pronounce the word.
Awesome Interviewer and Classy Interviewee!
“I was the reason God threw Adam and Eve out of the garden of eden, it was my garden. You believe that?” Gianni Russo
Amazing guy!
Looks great at his age must be the red wine.
Great interview@
Love this episode
UNCLE TONE...great handle. my nephew (also a Tony) always refers to me that way.
I’m coping his book as soon as it hits. OMG!
yeah, I have to read this book.
Get the audiobook he narrated it himself!
Imagine Gianni was your grandfather. I'd wanna move in with him. Imagine the stories he has that he cant talk about.
Lol he is a fuckin liar
Carlos was the only villain in the Godfather films that I really wanted to see get killed, after the scenes of him abusing his wife. Gian seems like a pretty neat guy. Hes mentioned before that he doesnt get along with James Caan. His stories are really interesting, especially the one about him shooting the thug in the casino.
Great stuff.
Guys a power house for his age !
I love life... amen 🙏
I like his style. He looks great. I hope I look that good in 20 years. The guy has great style. Russo makes some good points about the Sopranos. What mob boss would be going to a psychiatrist and still remain in power.
Surgery my boy eyelids shaved and teeth and blue contacts a trip look at his old interview ..he still ok lookin for his age
one of those guys, that guy, yea he was that guy, fuggetaboutit!
Just finished his book about his life called "Hollywood Godfather", I can't recommend it highly enough!!!!! Easily one of the best books I've read in a long time. I couldn't put it down, so amazing!!!! I recently heard they're going to be making it into a movie as well!
johnabbenda1 Is that right? Do you know him personally? You were there? You know for a fact that these are lies?
Ya, just another LIP FLAPPIN’ DIPSHIT THAT DOESN’T HAVE A CLUE WHAT THE HELL THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT! Probably a dumb ass lib too😜
Yea UT he is full of shit
What a coincidence, so do I! 🤪
3 years later and no movie. Russo has been caught in so many lies.
Excellent interview
We are here in 2020 under Covid Suppression ...
We need a good guy story to inspire us
Lets get Rocky and Music for Hollywoodland Godfather Popes Presidents and Prosperity.
Gianni Russo has a story and charisma
Team him up with Michael Franzese
Show Some Respect
So, one day I'm walking by Noah's surfboard, canoe and bass boat shop. I stop and tell Noah he needs to build bigger boats, cause it looks like rain..... Gianni Russo
He always fails to convince me..
What a guy, God bless Gianni Russo, that's, what I like about actors, he is a plain simple guy
I loved how andy tried tellin a story to the king of storytellers yeah ok he couldnt wait for andy to shutup!!!! The katate story! An watch andy the sec afta he takes a shot of vodka!!!
A Amazing Life And Totally Agree No Respect
Was Gianni ever in Calgary performing at the Jubilee Auditorium under impresario Carlo Ferrara Montaldo? Any info is appreciated. Probably after the Godfather movie.
Russo never travelled to Canada except Casino in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
You can pull alot of good things out of traditional martial arts and add it to your arsenal (mma)
Only good thing to take from Segals Aikido, is you should have picked a better martial art
🗣️ The man who taught Eric Clapton how to play 🎸
You forgot to mention Buddy rich,Pele, Wayne Gretzky...
"During lockdown, we ran PCR tests into Canada..., made a fortune!" Gianni Russo
I don’t understand why he feels the need to lie
He is not lying!
Willow777able He’s making half of this up. Frank Cullotta (R.I.P.) exposed him recently. Look it up.
" I vouched Lucky Luciano to become a made man , hahaha , can you believe it ? " -Giani Russo
It's a living and pays more than he gets as a singer!
Funny last time you told the story Pablo tortured you ? That’s a big part of a story to miss !
So people here actually believe this guy?? Watch some of his other "interviews " and you'll think twice!!
?
@@beemerdon !!
i have watched most of them and still think he is credible
@@beemerdon I can't imagine why!
@@beemerdon Think again.
This guy sounds like Jim Carrey's impression of Jerry lewis
If you were around this guy for any length of time you may commit Harikari.
apparently Harry Kari was a doorman at one of his clubs in vegas 😐
So attractive
He is a real man....sexy as hell!
This guy is hilarious he just makes stuff up and can’t believe people just believe it, probably laughs his ass off just thinking up these lies “ and then pablo Escobar spared my life because I acted out a scene in the godfather 😂
Escobar didn't even speak English.
That's the only vodka I'm buying from now on.
It's garbage.
he's right about the scene where Caan misses a right hand, and you don't have to look for it. in another interview he says tho, he was hit w/ the trash can lid, and a baseball bat was thrown by Caan and landed on his head, but it's blocked because of a car in the way. but he's right ,they should've re-shot it. the fist was so far from his chin, they probably can't CGI it. Andy Troy, (new to me ),interrupted one time, and it was irritating ,but they're having a good time. on TV back in the day, you couldn't drink real booze on the air. especially when plugging it.but this is YT.
let's face it, you can't call him boring. in another video, he talks a little more about how being 'Carlo' saved his life over there .this film is so loved by everyone, apparently Escobar (who I heard loved his reefer) gave him a pass and apologized for his guys' behavior. he was hand cuffed to a table and smacked around or some thing.
That wasn't even Russo in that missed punch scene. Look closely and you will notice a stunt double not Russo.
@@tml184 I did hear that somewhere. gotta watch that closely.
"The Sopranos was GOOOOD...it wasn't great. I never watched one episode!!"
Eh?
They basically made Forrest Gump after him.
Walter Mitty? Forest Gump? Or Gianni Russo? I don't know y but for some reason I can believe everything he's saying, but what a collection of stories, it's very difficult to take it as reality, most of the people he's talking about r dead now so it's hard 2 verify, but if it's true, he lived an incredible life & met the who's who of La Cosa Nostra. Gianni Russo amigo nostra? Maybe, capiche? So long pal.
@Frits Bos fa fungoola capiche? So long pal
we made a deal with tony the fly, jimmy BOOM BOTS..i mean,i mean ,i mean
No offense but who the hell is Andy Troy?
I was think the same he look better with short hair not that tail
Then the mma. Guy had to run and hide for his life after doing that , they were gonna kill that kid for doing that to that old man ,
he calls Talia , TIRE, fuken tire
Everybody knows Joey on Staten Island..?? JOEY?? ON STATEN FUCKIN ISLAND?? FOH
I don’t no what to make of this ninja king Bollox talker
Galdofini?? He never met James Gandolfini at all.
How can you say that about the guy that was invited to the last supper, but was busy co-signing the déclaration of independence
hey, Paisan, get a haircut.
Lmao! Good one i was tryin to see him with short hair! Good guy met him at jfk apt! I was on way to iraq with my army unit an he was with 10 girls on way to las vegas he had betta deal
@@jasonm1618 he sure seems gregarious,alright. glad that you apparently made it home. gotta respect anyone who puts on that uniform.
Thanks bro i appriciate that!
It was Boozie & Butter Ass Decicco who got you the part.
He had me till he started talking about having an affair with Marylin at age 16
Yeah, no kidding. Mother Goose thinks he's full of fairy tales.
@@neverobey1477 ok Tupac wannabe lol
Holy shit thats him 5 thousand for that badge. He's nothing without that badge an gun. Haha
You should have pore your own vodka.
The way shits going polio will be making a big comeback! And funny thing is you get polio from shit !
This guy has been known everybody important in the last century. Hes had a life more lucky than Forest Gump. Not buying it.
Brandon, In another words you nor I fell off the back of a turnup truck!!!
@@mikeycapp1 exactly!
Believe him
If Gianni is so hip and “in” why am I just now seeing him? Why aren't there ANY pictures of Gianni with Pacino or the Kennedy's? This guy is totally full of it
Wells he has pictures with Liza Minelli, Frank Sinatra , and the Pope....and those are like the first 3 that pop up when you google his name.
@@justinamenta7241 Yes 1 photo of each. Such bullshit.
Russo's stunt double actually reacted to the punch after he was thrown over the railing. It's clear it's not Russo at all. Russo is such a liar.
I hope Palminteri sees how Russo takes credit for the line in his movie. Such a liar.
Keep Drinkin that Organic Vodka!! Two Umbbriago Salami Heads. And, also, Jimmy Caan would kick this Goofs ass with one hand tied behind his Back!
Have you seen james caan lately?
DON'T THINK SO... CAAN IS A BIG BLUFF..
Caan is a big tough guy? He's a wife beater.
How do you know when Gianni Russo is lying??? His lips are moving.
This dude is delusional. Watch an interview of him from the 80’s-90’s when he was normal and not compulsively lying to everyone. FYI Whitney Houston wasn’t gay at all.
Everyone in the business knew Whitney was bisexual and had a girlfriend on the side. The only one who's delusional is you pal.
Yes..... Its known that Whitney was gay.
Whitney was gay as hell! This guy is so cool he does not have to lie. Most men wish they could be Gianni Russo...give me a break! Git outta hear!
@@Willow777able poor old Segal 😄 lol
This guy is hating on the spranos
This guy was close friends with frank Costello. He knows the real mafia lifestyle an sopranos is a fairy tale. I have mad props for this guy one for staying alive always staying true an he shows how to become successful in america.
gianni rhymes with fanny
Cut ur hair it looks silly never trust anyone wearing a pinky ring
Russo has no clue how they make the vodka.
I respect the men , but don’t agree with him on John Gotti !
Taking credit for that line in A Bronx Tale???? Russo is delusional and a compulsive liar.
Russo is a great story teller and bullshit artist; no drops more names than him! Frank Sinatra, , Sammy Davis , Eddie Murphy, Steven Segal and John Gotti in one story!😆😆😆😆😆
