Christian De Sica: Still Loving the Life of an Actor,Even with a pension
christian De Sica,with a career spanning 115 films,remains passionate about acting and finds joy in his work,even as he reflects on life’s changes.recent observations suggest a more melancholic tone in his work, particularly in the final season of Vita da Carlo Verdone, a sentiment confirmed by a colleague. “it’s true, in life there are ups and downs,” De Sica acknowledged, contrasting his own outlook with that of his brother-in-law, who “is reckless and still thinks like a 30-year-old.”
Despite qualifying for a pension after starting his career at age 18, De Sica expresses little interest in retirement. “I already get it but it’s not much,” he stated, adding with characteristic enthusiasm, “If it were high I would stay at home. Or maybe not, mine is the most lovely job in the world, when I open the window I say: ‘Thank you Jesus.'”
De Sica also shared his thankfulness for fellow comedic talents, naming Max Tortora, Massimo Boldi, Carlo Verdone, and Lillo as those who consistently make him laugh. He extended his praise to female performers like Emanuela Fanelli,Angela Finocchiaro,and Paola Minaccioni,while noting a general trend: “usually,however,the pretty ones don’t make you laugh,because to be a comedian you have to make fun of yourself a little,think of Franca Valeri or Tina Pica.”
However, he made an exception for Paola Cortellesi, acknowledging her as a brilliant actress, comparing her to the iconic Monica vitti. De Sica also highlighted the increasing opportunities for women in film, noting that “now they give you more money in financing if a woman directs the film.” This reflects a positive shift in the industry towards greater inclusivity and depiction.
