    She is the only reason

    Here is a clip from many years ago of an interview with Skip E. Lowe and listen to what Russo says at 26:30 regarding Sinatra. He didn't know him - contrary to the fantasies he spins in his later interviews. I can cite NUMEROUS lies that he tells in his vids. For example, in the interview with Skip E. Lowe he says he was born and raised in Staten Island but in later interviews he says he grew up on Mulberry Street and slept on sacks of flour in a bakery and that he would meet Don Carlo Gambino regularly - really - at 12 years of age he would meet with the most prominent mafia Don in the country? In another interview he claimed to be a 10th degree Aikido master and that a few years ago he was shot six times in front of his house on the upper east side yet, absolutely NO news clips of this so called attempted murder - and why are there no bullet scars? There is also no mention in this interview of him telling Brando that he was going to "suck on his heart" when he first met him at the cold reading of the Godfather script. In yet another interview he claims to have known and attended Princess Grace's wedding with "Frank and the boys" however, she was married in 1956 which would have made Russo 12 years old. Coincidentally, this is the age that he says he just got out of the hospital and was partially paralyzed from the polio. It's absolutely impossible that he'd have met Grace Kelly and attended her wedding in Monaco. Then there's the story of bedding Marilyn Monroe when he was 15 years of age (1958) after he says he jerked off in the movie theater balcony while watching her in Some Like It Hot numerous times. Since the movie didn't come out until 1959, can he explain how that was possible. And does anyone believe his story that he was spared by Pablo Escobar simply because he was "Carlo from the Godfather" and then doing a reading with him given that Escobar didn't speak English? But. here is the clip of the Skip E Lowe interview in it's entirety: www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=gianni+russo+skip+e&mid=361F8B2318A0FE8E4E8C361F8B2318A0FE8E4E8C&FORM=VIRE

      Clearly you have no clue om how to tell an entertaining story. The first rule of being a great story teller is to never let facts get in the way.
      And while you chew on that here is something else to think about. If 5% of what Gianni says is true he still has lived an incredible life.
      Facts:
      1) Gianni played Carlo in the greatest film of all time. And he is not an actor (you explain how that happened)
      2) Gianni is a millionaire living in a luxury New York apartment. And has many celebrity friends.
      3) Gianni has done more than 40 movies and television programs
      4) Gianni owns the exclusive distribution rights to the Corleone brand for food products.
      5) Gianni ran his own casino called State Street and did a Las Vegas television show promoting it.
      Not since Orson Wells has a person lived such a fascinating life.
      I watched the Skip E Lowe interview and there is nothing in there that is inconsistent with his other statements. I forgive all minor dates and names he may get out of order because I do not approach his statements as out and out lies like you do, and everybody has the right to make themselves the hero in their own story.
      The success of his book and repeated appearance's on many many podcasts qualifies him as a great personality and entertainer and I have even heard Gianni sing and he is great.
      I got an idea, instead of running your mouth about other people you don't know about why don't you put up a podcast and tell us about your exciting life and adventures? I promise you I will be fair and impartial and give you the benefit of the doubt when I review it, which is a whole lot more than you gave Gianni.
      By the way, you owe him an apology if you are any kind of Man for judging him. He is 82 and my grampa told me stories but I had the good taste and class not to call him names or try to embarrass him.
      You should be ashamed of yourself !

      @@gopherstate777 Firstly, you know nothing about who I may or may not know or anything about my lifestyle, financial position, political connections or people who I know in the entertainment industry. Therefore you'd be wise to keep your mouth closed and let people think you're an idiot rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt. It's painfully obvious you're an absolute fanboi who has been hoodwinked by this charlatan and I challenge you to dispute what I stated about this fraud. Look at his vids where he claims to be a 10th degree black belt in Aikido - show the certificate or the Gi and belt or explain how at 12 years of age he flew to Monaco to attend the royal wedding of Grace Kelly who he says he drove around town to the Copa as "flowers for the table" at the request of Frank Costello. She was married and living across the globe so that alone should tell you all you need to know about this quack. Perhaps he can produce his Cordon Bleu chef attestation that he claims to have or show a picture of the yacht he says he owns in Spain. This "business man" hocks cheap wine and bottled tomato sauce at supermarkets in New Jersey. He owns NOTHING and is merely the face of the products he's trying to peddle. I agree that he was in GF where he had approximately 4 or 5 minutes of total screen time and that holds true for the other movies he's "starred" in. He claims there was a movie about his life in the works that was being produced by Steven Spielberg that would be released any moment....that was years ago. WHERE IS IT? He's a shameless name dropper who has watched movie clips and makes up stories injecting himself in those same events. He claims to have had a shoot out with Frank Cullotta in Vegas and he said he threw Tony Spilotro out of a club which Culotta said was absolute fantasy. You do know who Cullotta and Spilotro were? And by the way, JFK was president for more than 1,000 days but you'd think Russo would've known that. Stories about the Cal Neva lodge have been written about for decades and were discussed in books written by mobsters like Jimmy Fratianno. I presume you know who that is? Russo is regurgitating things that have been written about for over 5 decades. I met this dope at the San Gennaro Festival where he set up a booth around Mulberry Street and was selling his autographed pic for $10.....he didn't sell even one. He's well known in Manhattan as being a clown. His story of the gates at Paramount being blown up are fantasy and there is NOTHING on any news site that mentions any type of explosion. I'm sure he met Pablo Escobar (who killed more people than cancer) but Gianni Russo was spared and they acted out a scene from the movie and Escobar just happened to have The Godfather book at his mansion. 🤣🤣🤣
