In the 1960s, Rocco Tano was just a boy from the suburbs of Ortona, in Abruzzo, living in a council house with his family. Money was not enough for everyone and crime was in the air. Years later that same rebellious boy who always got into trouble to scrape together some money would become a pornography icon, going down in history as Rocco Siffredi. Sex, the spotlight, marriage: 40 years lived as a porn star, two children and a wife who accepted the actor's job, remaining by his side despite the sex addiction that he himself defined as "the devil".
On May 4th, Siffredi will turn 60 years old but he does not stop working. Together with his sons Lorenzo and Leonardo, he set up the Hard Academy, the first school for porn talents.
Success and Marriage
"I wanted revenge. To do something for my mother, whom I saw smile so rarely. And for my father, who struggled to make ends meet. Becoming famous was a fortune, but I never really moved away", Rocco Siffredi told Corriere della Sera. A job, a vocation, that he could never unleash and flaunt in his small Ortona where "a girlfriend might have called me a pig".
From here he left, first direction Paris to follow his older brother, then for the world and today in Budapest. On sex addiction he stated: "When you are used to having sex every day, with two or three different girls a day, it is not easy to return to normal: you are like a sportsman who finds himself at home on the couch. It was my wife who pushed me to return to the set, she is more jealous of what is outside the sphere of work".
Rosa Caracciolo and Rocco Siffredi have been married since 1993, he saw her photo at work and asked her to do a substitution in a porn video: "She replied: "I only do it with you". For her, sex goes hand in hand with feelings, even though I always told her that she could level up. Today she tells me: "Finally you only dedicate yourself to me. You made me wait so long that now you have to accept my rhythms", the actor confessed.
The TV Series
From March 6, the life of Rocco Siffredi will be told and broadcast on Netflix in "Supersex". In the role of the porn actor, the famous Alessandro Borghi, former Aureliano Adami in "Suburra". The series, created and written by Francesca Manieri, will be divided into 7 episodes, and will stage every important stage of the actor's life: from his childhood to unprecedented success in the world of pornography. "I watched the series with my wife Rosa and my children, who didn't believe I came from such a different reality from theirs. Surreal and moving, I cried for days", said Siffredi. The preview of the much-anticipated TV series will be at the Berlin Festival on February 22.
