Giacomo Giorgio
After a solid acting education, Giacomo Giorgio began his career with the film The Happy Prince, directed by Rupert Everett, before continuing with Mare Fuori and a series of increasingly important roles that have seen him take center stage also in theatre, with some ventures into the world of fashion.
At 28, you are one of the most followed Italian actors at the moment: where does your passion for acting come from, and how did you train?
«My passion for cinema was born when I was very young, in an old open-air cinema near my family’s seaside home, where I had the chance to watch many films and decided that this would be my profession. From then on, I started studying acting, and later I developed my own method».
In your work for film and television, you’ve played very different characters: how much of yourself is in each of them?
«I hope nothing—or, if there is, I hope it’s very well hidden, whatever part of my personality it may be. Each character, instead, has left me with many questions, and I hope I have managed to spark questions in the viewers of a film or a series as well».
In recent years, you’ve attended fashion shows and events of the biggest fashion houses: in your everyday life, how much attention do you pay to your look? And how important is an accessory like eyewear to you?
«I pay a lot of attention to my look because, even though clothes don’t make the man, I believe that feeling good in what you wear is important and can be a way to express yourself and to feel a certain way: I think the right outfit also gives you a certain posture, a way of walking. I also pay a lot of attention to accessories, especially sunglasses, which I consider a ‘friendly object’ that I wear every day, as they also act a bit like a shield».
