If there was any doubt that Checco Zalone is not the ignoramus, however lovable, that he plays in his movies, Che Bella Giornata and Cado Dalle Nubi, there shouldn’t be anymore. Checco let Barillo Pasta have it, after the president of the Pasta company said, “We won’t make commercials with gay people because we believe in the traditional family. If gays don’t like it, they can buy another brand.” (And I’m sure they will.)
Checco defends gay pasta lovers on his Facebook page, promoting his new film Sole a Catinelle (due out in Italian theaters on October 31) with his song, sung in half Spanish and half Italian and ‘dedicated to the homosexual universe”, “Come es malada nostra sociedad…” ( Our society is so sick).
Checco, one of the 10 biggest reasons to love Italian movies these days, is the most popular Italian comic actor since Totò.
