Taral took "black don't crack" to the next level. Sis found the fountain of youth.
She is beautiful
She's beautiful he never changed look the same too like they never age love the the Bronx tales the movie 🍿🎥
Love it! She's beautiful.
She is the fountain of youth
Waiting for someone to get offended by this comment
She's just as beautiful now as she was back then.
@C-LAROCK THE MAYOR well said
She can sing too. Check out her video, "Silly".
Stunning!
Duh she is a full grown woman now in life
The other guy is not 🤣
“A Bronx Tale” is still easily in the top 3 of my favorite movies of all time.
She looks like shes 25. Very pretty! And she has an incredible singing voice
I agree,some people just age well. Just look at the rapper Nas, he's nearly 50,but looks 15.
Taral's beauty is timeless. Great conversation
She can sing amazingly as well. There was a movie called Subways stories or something like that and she was incredible
💯
@@hotfriedgriyoandpeeklees1522 her scene in HBO’s Subway Stories was amazing! Brought me to tears 😭
She has one of the best singing voices that God gave a voice toooooo
She hasn't aged a bit! Beautiful!
It's amazing! Taral hasn't aged at all. She looks just like she did back then.
Mike, I have to say you are very compassionate to have Lillo Brancato back on your show. I'm happy you did not sideline him. That shows respect and understanding. I like the direction of your show. Prosperity and peace to Lillo.
@@mikemacfadyen1972 well stated and gratitude for it!
Black don’t crack
Facts
Plot twist. Michael had Lillo's phone in his back pocket all along.
She unlocked the door for him, enough said! 🥰
Nuf said
Look at her looking all young and fresh after all these years 😍❤️
Sista is still amazingly beautiful.
👌!
Taral never lived the typical Hollywood life she is a peaceful spirit
She hasn't aged at all. She's the true definition of black don't crack.
ie. she takes good care of herself... recommended to everybody
@@sodapop83 I think that too, she must take a really good care of herself not smoking 🚬 is one ☺️
Black's and Asian's have thicker layer skin around the face making them look younger.
@@tonymontana4284 that’s a racist lie they use to say that back in slavery to torture us more …it’s just a different pigmentation
@@IssacAintPlayin333 yeah, agree, sounds so stupid... from this pov why northern europeans or siberians haven't thicker skin than others bc of the colder climate? right? smh
LILO was my crush for so long and he looks great still! I’m missing his hair lol Taral is a GEM😍😍😍
So is he.
Thank you for admitting u had a crush on a saltine colored dude lol....a lot of blk women wouldn't even admit it in front of other people! I know yall catch flak from your fellow blck men for giving Whyte boys a chance when it comes to dating.
I think they're one of the best on screen couples ever. They did an amazing job.
She still looks good, has not aged OMG cant believe she is in her 40's.
46 to be exact.
@@MissJ619 ok....
She looks awesome.
That's insane.
Because 40s is old right?.... eye roll*
She is more gorgeous now then ever before.
I thought the same she looks extremely hot
True. Shockingly so.
But, it's 30 years later and she looks just the same. Really.
@@IPlayOneOnT.V. I approve of this message.
@@IPlayOneOnT.V. Black don't crack?
Boy A Bronx Tale! What a crush I had for Lillo.... Mmmm..LOL that tough Italian accent and talking with the hands stops me in my tracks every time💕😍.
But so proud of Lillo for pulling himself together, and getting back into acting. He's definitely a come back Robert Downey Jr, and Drew Barrymore success story of getting back on track, and walking a straight line. You Go Lillo, stay steadfast! And Hoorah to ya!
I met Lilo not too long ago. Very glad he's living his life. Everyone deserves a second chance.
Guess the guy he killed didn’t deserve a second chance eh?
@MoparGuy1625 his friend killed the cop, not him.
She is so incredibly beautiful. Wow
You can tel they have a genuine chemistry and mutual respect for one another. That’s why the movie is still great and has stood the test of time.
I remember that look she gave him on the bus and as she walked away from the bus.
Shes married i think tho
I remember my aunt renting this movie for me and my sister! I absolutely fell in love with it ❤️❤️and its one of my favorite movies of all times!!! It was especially wonderful to see, an African American girl in a lead role!
I'm 65 and still love watching this movie!
Taral Hicks was effortlessly ALREADY one of the most beautiful women in the world. Is it possible that this Radiant Sistah looks even MORE Beautiful now than she was nearly 30 years Ago?!? The only describable way I can refer it would be to say that she profoundly IMPROVED on perfection
WEIRDO
Taral hasn't aged a day in 28 years! Beautiful lady!
I remember showing my husband this movie for the first time. We fell in love the same way their characters met. Such a classic. ❤
For some reason there are moments when I sense her stressing about something. Behind the smiles, I wonder if her and this guy have painful memories. I sense she might be doing a good job acting here, but I heard that they had a relationship off camera and he was abusive. Can anyone confirm???🤔
I take you’re married to a white guy
@@powernomics4716 when you are always looking for the negative you will always find it , now how would this woman know if they had a dam secret relationship, they clearly did say they had only a professional relationship….
@@kelleysaint8606 Sorry to say, but in white people, I always see the negative when they consistently use Machiavellian principles to control my people. As for my people, this lady on screen is one of my people, and concern for my own will always take precedence. Blessings
@@powernomics4716 stop being so easy to control.
LiLo looks SO good and healthy. I'm glad he's taking ccare of himself after that rough patch.
UPDATE: HOLY SHIT his impression of her saying "cahoo" was *SPOT ON* same pitch and everything. He must've imprinted on her in that very moment or something.
I'll bet DeNiro noticed that. If it struck a nerve with Lilo, he probably had a reaction and DeNiro picked up on that. Chemistry is important.
Omgoodness! Great interview. Taral is absolutely beautiful she has not aged! What a classy lady. Lillo is great blessings to him for getting his life together.
Yes that was a good movie I didnt see it till I was an adult I know crazy I was only 5 or 6 when it came out maybe I did see it but didnt pay attention to it at the time gotta to admit Debbie Rodriguez your a gorgeous woman sorry couldn't help not saying it to you trust me dont take it the wrong way
"A Bronx Tale" is forever a Classic
Fell in love with both characters the first time I seen this movie! Fell in love with the movie also!
I watched this movie for the first time a couple weeks ago… I’ve lost count as to how many times I’ve rewatched it since. Timeless classic for sure.
They both played them roles good and he was cute with her
She is a cutie
A young Lilo actually looks like a young DeNiro
Seriously, they made the right choice
Back when they tried to cast accurately.
yes he does
He got cast *because* he looked like a young DeNiro.
I am so happy to see Lillo back up on his feet. Great interview, great interviewer.
Everything about A Bronx Tale is first class even now. A great movie.
Taral is still beautiful wow. She aged like fine wine
She's only 39
I remember being at wedding rehearsal/dinner for a family member of Taral's back
in the day. The groom mentioned she was going to be in a film with Robert De Niro.
Then, A Bronx Tale came and blew us all away ! Taral still looks exactly the same !
She and her Family are really beautiful people. She was Spectacular in Belly as well.
So glad to see Lillo has overcome his demons and is happy, healthy and at peace.
Great Interview Mr. Franzese. - GOD Bless you all.
No you weren’t…
@@toosweet6046 wtfru ?
@@borgullet3376 lol
She had a sister who was a singer. Whatever happened to her. I think her and her sister used to be singers
Wow seen both movies probably a 100 times and never caught Kisha was Jane. Well done sir 👏
I was 17 years old when A Bronx Tale came out in 93', so Taral and Lilo were my peers and I LOVED THIS MOVIE. It was so great and fantastic seeing them all these
years later. I'm 45 years old now, so I guess they are too. Both of them look great and I'm Glad to see that Lilo survived those hard times he was having back in the early 2000's, I thought he had died, I'm glad to see I was Wrong. I look pretty good myself for being 45 by the way...lol
She's so gorgeous, my god 28 years later and she still looks like a model. This is what you get when you don't let Hollywood get into your head.
OMG, Taral is stunning, she hasn't aged.. Great Interview Michael.
Yep! I believe she is 47 now! Still looks 19!
She’s just a beautiful gorgeous young lady
How about me though?
@@teo5836 you too
@@tanyabrown6969 awww 🥰
Taral is so beautiful and hasn’t age a bit. Thank
This movie is like The Godfather series, whenever it’s on tv no matter how many times you’ve seen it you still watch it again and again 😄😄!!!!!
Taral is still beautiful and I'm so glad to see Lillo out and doing well with his sobriety. 🙏🏾
Okay. Taral is the most beautiful human being. She hasn’t aged a dayyyy 😍✨and I’m still in love with C 🤣
You are beautiful woman yourself Alma Marisol 🙂
Taral is still absolutely beautiful , amazing.
I'm glad Lilo got his life back. Teral was the dream girl of millions of black boys. She's still beautiful as she was back then 😍
She aged as well as this script... Both Legendary!!!
The greatest thing about 'A Bronx Tale' is the fact that it teaches you how beautiful your life is, as it is .... It doesn't glorify mob life. The message is The Working Man being the (Real) Hero... It's almost like De Niro's answer to all the mob characters he ever played. Shout out to Michael for bringing them. Looking forward to you interviewing Bob De Niro some day..... !
True
Wow, Mike. Taral even "sounds" the same as she did 30 years ago. Let alone, "looks" the same. 🎬
@@mellow_vybes Females voices dont change. wtf?
@@AnastasiaLUVSU They most certainly do, especially if they are smokers or if they are up there in age. Common sense!
@@LoveFirstYou Well duh, but once your childhood is done your voice is pretty much the same throughout. we do not have a drastic voice change like males.
@@AnastasiaLUVSUWell, duh, nothing. Don't try to change up now and act like you always knew that female voices do, in fact, change. Stick to what you first stated. Common sense should tell you not to make idiotic statements like female voices don't change. We don't need you to clarify, after the fact, what you supposedly really meant, when you were simply wrong. Duh.
@Ryn Teiro Exactly! In what world is she living in to say that female voices don't change? 😆 Simple is as simple does.
One of my favorite movies of all time. The basement gambling scene and the Pesci cameo at the end....classic. Two two on the hard 4!
damn she hasn't aged one bit!! and yes bronx tale is one of the best mob movies out there and definitely one of my favorites.
how is this possible? this woman must have found the fountain of youth
No, it's the darker complexion that doesn't Crack. Theree's an saying Black Don't Crack...☺
It’s called being melanin rich honey
It’s called being black and dark skin. This is why I love being dark skinned. Eating healthy and taking care of your skin on top of being highly melanated does wonders. Every thinks my mom is my big sister because of how young and in shape she is. She is 43
it's called using lotion, "black don't crack" is just a dumb saying, stop getting fooled by stupid stereotypes....
@@walter_the_danger you are just upset. Because it is scientifically proven that the more melanin the slower the aging process
I swear they look exactly the same and the chemistry even today stands!👌🏾🇺🇸🇺🇸👏🏽😊🥰
Exactly
@elisie9434
Hi elise🙂🙋♂️
I wish a streaming service would pick these two up for a sequel series about their characters.
or a netflix series
Hands down, this was the most BEAUTIFUL interview EVER.
Michael was so loving, kind and respectful. God bless him
Taral is still so stunning!!!!! Just blessed with beauty 😍
Taral is still gorgeous!! I thought she was beautiful back then n today she seriously hasn’t aged a bit. After watching this, I’m now going to watch the movie again.
Great interview as always
I love seeing them together again. Wow.... Taral's beauty is TIMELESS!
Taral...just wow. This movie is definitely a classic from my era. These two were hands down the stars of the film
Damn...she really hasn’t aged!! Still beautiful 🥰
Taral is beautiful !! We need her in some new material . Stunning
Lilo looking well, really a comeback story that takes alot,, Taral is simply elegant
I can’t believe how great she looks! That’s 100% natural beauty
A Bronx Tale really is one of the greatest mob movies ever
I said the same thing then and say the same thing now.
Goodfellas and casino tops that movie
Made me realize how people grow to love the neighborhood they are from.
bx tale was more then just a mob movie to b honest
Besides casino and gotti
She's literally the reason why I fell in love with black women, and started mingling with different women. Not as a fetish, but she was just my crush for the longest time. Actually had a gf that looked very close to her lol. She's still drop dead gorgeous.
Lol I know your being serious but this comment is hilarious
Awww so sweet 😍
Me too
Same
whys that funny?
I didn’t see this movie until a few years after it came out and the first scene I stumbled onto was between C and Jane, and I fell in love. Not only as someone who loves seeing “interracial” (I hate that word) relationships, but because I loved hearing the wisdom in Sonny’s advice to C. I expected it to be like other mob movies where they badmouthed blacks. Hearing him say: “when you’re alone at night, under the covers, that’s all that matters,” and telling him to be his own person and not care about what his “friends” had to say because half of them would end up dead or in jail anyway, I knew the movie would always have a special place in my heart. Coming from Sonny, the impact of those words weighed a lot more to C’s character and to us as viewers. This film was one of those happy surprises I stumbled onto flipping through channels one day, and am so glad I did.
This movie means the world to me. It was filmed in Astoria queens where I was born and raised. Not only in my neighborhood but on my very street and one avenue down. Right on 44th Street. The church across from the bar (St. Joseph's) was where my parents, grandparents and great grandparents were married and worshipped. It's where I went to school from kindergarten through 8th grade. The stoop C hangs out on is next door to the butcher we shopped at all my life. The funeral home across the street I went to many MANY wakes there. The scene where they jump the black guys on bikes was right up the street from ps10 was where all went to shoot hoops. My dad was even offered a part as an extra to just stand there but for some reason he didnt do it. I'd have to ask him why. One great story was when they were filming the scene of sonny talking to C driving in reverse to the bar, the driveway he pulls out of was right next door to a doctor's office where I was a baby getting a shot and was screaming and crying and the window was open because it was a beautiful day. So all of a sudden Robert De Niro sticks his head in the window and says "can someone shut that kid up or shut the window? Were trying to film a movie here!" Lol I live in upstate NY now so Watching that movie is like going home for a little while. Seeing the old neighborhood especially how I remember it is just great. Greatest movie of all time for me.
I was there too lol! I lived by the little park by 10…. You forgot the school they attended was Bryant high school. I remember all the fake fruits and veritable stands outside all those stores for months. And the corner bar that was the corner spot that always had a different business in it. Oh good times. What a great movie I was and forever will be
@@Ao51635 25-46 44st. Was my building. Both my grandparents went to Bryant. My parents dropped out lol
It always stunned me how talented Lilo is and how much he looks like a young Robert De Niro. I mean he looks exactly like his son
EXACTLY like him. More than Deniros own children lol
@@THEDOORIZCLOSED No shit theyre mixed race.
She's beautiful and classy. In "Belly" she looks amazing and is only looking better as she gets older. "A Bronx Tale" a classic!
I forgot she was in Belly
She's also an amazing singer
Their love was the best thing in that film. The entirety is so amazing but, them falling is the greatest addition. So natural, ... thank you, to those who made sure it was a part of this story. Thank you.
Holy crap in 28 years; she hasn’t aged one bit! She is absolutely gorgeous.
Hello makeupmobster I didnt really see this movie till I was an adult although I was only 5 or 6 when this came out dont take this the wrong way but your very beautiful woman yourself just saying the truth to you 🙂
She looks exactly same absolutely beautiful
When Lillo does his Dinero he morphs into him like it's a deep fake. Crazy good impression.
He easily passes for De Nero's son.
My face can't stop smiling. Thank you so much.
Gotta say, when I first watched this movie I was just as excited for C, as he was when she unlocked the door for him.
Same here I was crying and clapping at the same time....
Same!!! I almost cried.
I love this movie its a shame Taral and Lillo's career never really took off after this movie and didnt become big stars.
U don't remember Belly with her, dmx, nas and tboz? #Classic
@@tabblack43 correct! She also did a lot of modeling & music videos.
Taral career took off pretty well, she had a good run as far as 90s and early 2000s. As far as Michael not so much, but that doesn’t take away from how incredible he was as an actor.
@@thebeylaflenory Michael?
Taral became a teacher actually.
Was she in a time machine? ?Stunning woman looks WAYY younger. Wow! Literally looks like a teenager
I love this movie, I watch it every month 💘
Wow! I can't believe it's been 28 years. Taral's beauty is like fine wine that doesn't age. Lilo was handsome then, still an attractive guy now. A Bronx Tale is a favorite 😍. Great interview Michael. 👍🏾👈🏾
She knows the location of the real fountain of youth.
And MAJOR respect to Mr. Brancato on his quitting cigarettes!!!! I still battle that metaphorical demon every day.
I'm always happy to hear someone win.
Would love to see another movie starring these two.
Both these two need to be in more movies.
Its special to Dinero because its in a sense the story of his life. Calogero even looked like him and still does!!
Like seriously where did Deniro find him?!?!
@@THEDOORIZCLOSED I thought it was him younger lol and then I googled him. Very handsome and she is a beauty and she still looks amazing
@@AK-ql8yp me toooo!!! I was like 16-17ish when i first saw this movie and thought he was either Roberts son or some kind of camera trick😂😂😂😂😂😂
@♒Aquarius_SO_ Stl💫 Not they filed for divorce last year i believe and it got really messy. They files for divorce like 2-3 times since married
Yes..hate to findout that theyre getting a divorce
Her beauty has only become enhanced their stage voices...haven't changed one iota. Amazing, a great movie very watchable over and over again!
I remember thinking, what a gorgeous young lady she was when I first saw the movie. She’s still just as beautiful. Hasn’t changed an iota. So glad Lilo is doing better. Absolutely loved him in The Sopranos.
This was a great gem I accidentally stumbled on. I enjoyed this sit-down so much, A Bronx Tale is a classic and one of my favorites. They both look fantastic.
Fun fact: Tupac said that Jim Carrey was his favorite actor. While Tupac was in jail, Jim Carrey send letters to make him laugh & smile.
Jim Carrey has always been a real one, we need more comedians like him nowadays, everyone loved him
Bill hicks
And Tony Danza sent letters also
MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT THAT
Yo James Carrey was mad funny in living color he was always with the shit jim Carrey eh not so much
Absolutely love this interview... Now I'm going to watch Bronx tale. They still look soooooo goood🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤
This is one of the best things that has happened to me this week. A Bronx tale is hands down my favorite movie and this interview made my whole day
It is great to revisit with the stars of A Bronx Tale all these years later, the sincere and genuine kind nature of these two fine actors still shines forth in real life as it did on screen. Robert De Niro chose wisely in casting them in his debut as a director, and I'm glad to hear that they've both done well and continued to work to this day, they deserve it after the work they've put in, and have remained as humble as ever.
Happy to see these two. She looks like a top model after all these years. Lillo has been through so much. Glad to see him doing well. Awesome movie. Another great video.
She just hasn’t aged. What a beautiful woman and person.
I love the Bronx Tale, it’s such a classic. I hope to see another movie like it in the future.
This movie will never fade,never.
One of the greatest of all time.
Always an emotional wreck after watching.
She is beautiful and looks exactly the same
She is freaking breathtaking!!!! 🥰🥰
I expected a part 2 of this movie....loved it😍
Truly amazing gift to see these two who gave us so much without realizing the impact this movie would have on so many of us. Thank you for making this happen.
What a lovely lady. Such Poise and Grace. I wish them both all the success they deserve. Thank you Michael, another great interview.
I watched A Bronx Tale in high school and learned a lot about people, money, and life.
@RUclips Overlords suck Very sweet, 😍 This movie has a special place in my heart ❤ too. This came out when I was in high school. There was this really cute white guy, school jock type that had a serious crush on me. Man I fell hard, he was my first love and I'll never forget it.
I’m sorry to hear that.
My favorite movie and my GOD the actress who played Jane is still so very gorgeous. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! ♥️
I watched this movie when I was little back in Brazil. How je of those movies my father made me watch while growing up. There are so many life lessons in this movie! You don’t see movies like these being produced anymore.
OMG, she hasn't changed at all, still so beautiful.
Mike, I admire and respect how you’re constantly improving and adding great content to this already fabulous channel! Always grafting. Keep up the good work
@@michaelfranzese Maybe ridiculous but I was a little in love with her, was not that old then.
@Englishman 🏴 but he do not dare me LOL
Forget about it
This interview should have been longer. I hope you have another part to this. Taral is so gorgeous and she can sing!
I loved these characters together! They still look good together. She’s definitely ageless!
