For “Colpa dei sensi”, the new Mediaset drama, Gabriel Garko and Anna Safroncik return to love each other on a floor. They love each other as lovers rediscovered after years and years. «In fiction – the actor tells La Repubblica – I prefer to be a lover, if I see a story with the husband after five minutes I change the channel. The lover wakes you up, the husband puts you to sleep.”
The sex scenes
The body, its sensuality has been used many times.
Now, however, he doesn’t hide that he has some more “shame”… «I don’t have problems with my body, but I have a bit of modesty about being naked in front of the crew; there’s a sex cover, ok, but stay with your butt in the wind. There is a strong scene in the series… I hope they didn’t cut it.” Then he confesses that «the sex scenes are the most boring. You are there, in front of everyone, in uncomfortable positions, you have to worry about the lights, your hair.”
Il coming out
After coming out, what changed? «I’ll make a premise: as long as it exists it means that you are not truly free. Why does a person need to declare their sexual preferences? I found myself in a moment in my life where either I did it, or someone else did it in a more brutal way. I did it naturally, and in the end I got rid of a burden. Perhaps, in the LGBTQ+ community there is a letter missing, the e, that of heterosexuals, because humanity is whole. And the most desperate animal is man.”
In 2020 he came out inside the Big Brother House. «I found myself in a moment in my life where either I did it, or someone else did it in a more brutal way. I did it naturally, and in the end I got rid of a burden.” A burden because Gabriel lived fake, fictional stories in front of others. «After what Adua Del Vesco had said to Big Brother, I said who I was. My public love life was a fiction, fake stories, the only real one, I lived it with Manuela Arcuri. I’m not the first and I won’t be the last.”
The companion
Then he reveals: «Today I have been with a person for four years, he is not from the environment, we live together and we know nothing. Success is not easy, people from outside see the glittering gold, you see the bars.” And that prison made him feel bad: «I went through a period in which I didn’t know who I was, I suffered from panic attacks. I accepted myself, my family and friends knew, I had to repress everything. I heard myself say: “You weren’t honest, you fooled us.” No, I was just kidding myself. I went to therapy.”
