This guy can name-drop faster than you can say, Pasta Fagioli. And to think, if it happened, this guy was there! Johnny on the spot! A legend in his own Mind! If you have 4 loafs of bread, he’s got 8! All of the people are dead and can’t verify his stories. The man goes from one fantasy to another.
Brian Regan: “I had to have 2 wisdom teeth removed.” Gianni Russo: “I had 3, no 4, 8, I had 8 wisdom teeth removed, no anesthesia, was eating corn on the cob that same day.”
First of all not all the people he mentions are dead and NOBODY that knew any of those people have ever refuted one of his claims. Dude is legit. Can you believe it?
@@jaysantos536 listen, there are so many of his types in New York. Guys like him are what as known as, Bullshit Artists. He was lucky to get that part in the Godfather movie. Other than that, he's not buddy buddy with Brando, and he don't talk to a mob boss like Gotti the way he comes across. He never made it to 1st base with Marylin Monroe, he's not a personal friend of Frank Sinatra and certainly he has zero influence in the mob. If you're gullible to believe all his nonsense, that's up to you. But, I grew up in the big city and there were guys like him out there, always yapping about how connected he was or is. The people that truly are connected, don't act that way; they don't need to. The guy is all bull shit. That's why you read all the people on line who make jokes about him. He probably is one of the biggest bullshit artists our there. They way he talks, he was involved either directly or indirectly with every major event that took place in this country from his youth, right up till now. All the people that he claims knew of him, are dead. So, this is all made up stories for his book. Sure, he is repeating stories about certain things, but those stories are all out there circulating around. I'm surprised he didn't discuss his involvement with Desert Storm, or Lee Harvey Oswald. He has zero credibility in my book. If you choose to believe his nonsense, God bless you. You're easily taken in and would be an easy mark for a confidence man.
@@nightowl5475 "I'm surprised he didn't discuss his involvement with Lee Harvey Oswald." Russo DID say he ran into Oswald at Jack Ruby's Carousel Club in Dallas a month or so before the hit on JFK. Lee was coming out of the rest room as Russo was walking in. Can you believe it? Bwahahaha.
When in SOUTH AMERICA I ran into 2 guys breaking thier backs carrying 5,000 pounds of COLOMBIAN COFFEE hand picked by these 2 guys!!! We in the ""MOB"" not only provided LIMOSINES/TRUCKING business,s but had connections in the ""MULE/DONKEY"" contracts so I made a call to the ""RIGHT PEOPLE"" and gave those 2 hard earning working guys the MULE & DONKEY CARTING BUSINESS and thier COFFEE business became an EMPIRE!!!!! They are better known as ""ALEX AHENTE'' & JUAN VALDEZ!!!!! Would YOU BELIEVE IT???=GIANNI☆☆☆☆
He's so likable...... He's so fortunate he never got killed, He came so close so many times over the years..... He's just had an incredible life; I got to see Frank Sinatra live also Liza Minnelli live.... I always wanted to be able to meet Marilyn Monroe, I've learned so much about the Kennedys through him/Gianni/ how corrupt The Kennedys were... and how John Kennedy requested Marilyn's death to have Marilyn killed.
Not true. Al Ruddy, Francia Ford Coppola had a different experience with him, which is why he was not invited to any of the Godfather reunions. I worked with him and listened to him tell the same stories but changed the story too many times so of course it became obvious he was improvising and not providing truth. He’s an excellent story teller who got careless. Albert Ruddy producer of The Godfather will tell you a different story and so will Francis Ford Coppola. There is a reason he wasn’t invited to any of the Godfather reunions, and why he never went on to have a great career in film acting. He played one of the most hated characters in Hollywood cinema history and was type cast.
You say he is full of shit but come on. The guy was involved big time back in the day. Joe Colombo gave him a house so you cant deny he was connected in a substantial way to the mob, he owned a well known club in Vegas where his shooting the Colombian was well documented, he was well known to have been engaged to Liza Minelli, he was a long time partner of Dionne Warwick. the list of stuff he has done that can be easily verified is enough to show he is far from a nobody. How many media outlets have ever interviewed you?
When yo see and hear him in this interview, you think is all made up BS, but you go and see him in a 1993 interview by Alan Eichler, looking awfully handsome and charming and on top of that they show a clip of him singing like a real Crooner, then you paused , and his stories become plausible, at least some of them.
The thing about mr russo is that most of what he says is true and the people that knock him have no idea and live ordinary boring lives who haven't even been an extra in a movie
She’s in love with her voice and career. Gianni: “I’m the only one I know that has a saint for my daughter’s godfather. Her: “You’re a saint?” ........ 😑
The best con artist ever. Gianni saying he was captured, tortured and talked to Escobar about the “Godfather,” is a preposterous lie. I know a DEA agent who dealt with Escobar that confirms Escobar didn’t speak a lick of English. And that he would never deal with people he didn’t do business with or wasn’t in his immediate circle of confidents. Furthermore, Gianni was born and raised in suburban Staten Island not little Italy.
Very true. Here's a good one: He claims he went to Grace Kelly's wedding. She was married in April, 1956, when Russo was 12 years and 4 months old. He also claims he drove her around to clubs before then. (He was 10 and 11 years old at that time!). Interviewers never call him out on his bullshit.
I finished his book yesterday and called bullshit on 50% of it. Now that I've seen this interview I realize I was wrong. Now I'm calling bullshit on 90% of it.

Then you cant have watched it . He was in one of the best scenes .He played Carlo .He has never said hes a big actor .He Owned jewellery stores and then a restaurant and knew a lot of mob guys personally. Frank Culletta the famous mob hitman knew him and has spoken highly of him as a person . I hope you are staying well .❤
This guy is a walking con man bullshitter .He's told so many different versions of his so called adventures.Hes got 10 luv kids!If that doesn't tell you anything.
He was married to the Don's only daughter (Connie),...he used to beat her up too,...Sonny kicked the crap outta him for beating up Connie while she was pregnant.
For some reason this guy reminds me of
George Hamilton. He’s a survivor.
He’s just trying to pay the bills and provide for his family.
At 70 something he still makes a young blonde nervous and blush . That’s a true Italian
