In 2009 I participated in the TV show: LE IENE, directed by Paolo Calabresi. My role was that of an exclusive personality from the Team 007 James Bond, whose mission was to convince Fabrizio Corona that I was “the official agent 007” who came to Italy just to see him in a private casting for the next 007 movie. It was a real prank. Paolo wanted to leave a mark with this joke.
They did many castings, auditions with other actresses but only I was perfect for the role. And that’s how it went. Practically ‘good the first time’ there was no way to learn a script.
Fabrizio Corona is a former photographer and entrepreneur who became famous for his involvement in several scandals and legal cases, such as the Vallettopoli affair, where he blackmailed celebrities with compromising photos. He was convicted of various crimes, such as extortion, fraud, defamation and money laundering, and spent several years in prison. He also participated in some reality shows, such as L’isola dei famosi and Grande Fratello VIP.
