He lit Galantes last cigar before he was shot. He happened to be eating at Sparks the moment Castellano was shot outside his tables window. He was walking out of the twin towers the very second the planes crashed into them and was on Bill Clintons private yacht. And Good Fellas was based on Giannis life.

While I was speaking to him, I couldn't help but look over his shoulder and notice the professor was working on an equation on a black board, and he seemed to be having difficulty completing it.

    Gianni Russo claims that he was a good friend of Joe Columbo (Then Boss of the Columbo Crime Family at the time) According to him he brokered the deal between the Producers of Godfather 1 (Albert Ruddy) and crime boss Joe Columbo to give the producers permission to film on the streets of New York. During these negotiations Joe Columbo (According to Russo) told the producers that he wanted Gianni Russo to be given the role of "Carlo" in the film. Michael Franzese who would become a a well publicized caporegime of the Columbo Crime Family and whom at the time was a trusted and close associate of Joe Columbo during the early 1970's stated in one of his recent podcasts that he didn't remember ever seeing Gianni Russo around Joe Columbo. That should tell you a lot about this guy Russo's stories.

      1)Russo had already moved to Vegas before Franzese became an adult
      2)Franzese wasnt even a recruit in 71/72, his father in jail.
      3)Russo said his main guys were Costello and later Tommy Bilotti, not Colombo.
      may be its all lies, but Franzese wouldnt know about it. and its Colombo, not Columbo.

      @SandaBoxing 3 года назад +4

      Excellent point. I think they made it tiny b/c Russo was a horrible actor but they were stuck with him. Carlo was a main character in the book so no way could it have been that tiny & mostly action scenes. I remember him being so off when I watched it for the first time in the 90's, even w/Brando's coaching. This is one of the main things that makes almost everything Russo says, credible b/c no way could he have gotten this role w/o Mob muscles.

    If 50% of what Russo says is true he still lived an impressive life.
    He tends to embellish, a writer/author refers to it a “Toning it up”.
    Many say the majority of the people he refers to have long died off allowing him to say what he wants and he rewrites history worse than a politician.

      In another interview he said that following the Polio he was put in the Bellevue section for mentally challenged. I can guarantee you Pollo does not last five years. The paralysis does which he did not have BUT if you have mental disturbances & your family has relinquish all responsibility for you, then yeah, you could probably stay till you're almost a teenager. I don't think he ever saw his family again after he left because of how they treated him-- not from the Pollo but from the mental disturbance that was probably innate to him and maybe set off by situations such as polio. In that era, as with AIDS, they didn't know how it was transmitted and so children were kept isolated from everybody-- including nurses and doctors who woukd see them rarely, not touching them. LATER of course they realized how it was transmitted and eventually the vaccine was created so that horror faded.

    On Vlad , Giannis bullshit slips by more slickly, Vlad reels him in by asking good questions to guide the conversation ,but with this flat ,robotic moderator who asks basic questions, Gianni’s bullshit feels overexposed. He’s rambling for 8 minutes at a time and weaving in multiple story lines, which leave me confused. He is dropping names like crazy with the audience not knowing who he is talking about. Gianni even claimed to be best friends with Brando, which he never mentioned before, he said “ I was with Brando until he died” .
    He also claims to have produced “Any Given Sunday” and claims he will be in a movie with Pacino, DeNiro,and Leo DiCaprio.
    Gianni comes off very conceited and obsessed with himself in this video. He is the only one laughing at his jokes, his chuckle laugh is met with audience silence.

    1:08:17 Giannis face dropped and he turned white when this woman started talking, she starts with “ I wanna talk about my life with Gianni Russo” . He thought he was gonna get called out for a Me Too moment , Gianni looked like he had no idea who she was even though she claims she was friends 42 yers , I think he was bracing himself, but she gave compliments then mentioned her husbands name which didn’t seem to trigger any memory. It’s possible she was done dirty by him and she only wanted him to see her to scare him but she decided not to expose him and decided to sarcastically say he was incredible.

    BUT- the amazing, greatest thing he ever did- was have 11 kids! You don’t hear them trash talking him either do you??!! The reason you may not know guys like this, nor feel like your life is less- is because too much time is spent on computers and I-phones….

    • @ladybug5859
      @ladybug5859 3 года назад

      There are mafias for every ethnic and racial group in the world but the word mafia is Arabic coming by way of Sicily which is the source of the mafia that later came to America specifically New York & New Jersey. LATER of course it spread to all the major cities.I'm not sure but I believe the word in Arabic meant something like protection and it got into Italian because the Arabs at one point invaded Sicily. Italians from Sicily and all the way up thru Southern Italy have a lot of Arab blood. The Italians in Northern Italy do not and often that's why they say that southern Italians were different group of people; a different race; excetera. In a later interview Gianni Russo says that the power of the mafia still resides in Sicily
