Director/producer Ridley Scott discusses the Gucci family
"It was a fascinating family history. The Gucci dynasty was almost Italian royalty within the fashion industry and its destruction came from inside the family and spread. How could that not be interesting?"
Oscar® winner Al Pacino discusses his character Aldo
"Aldo really loves his son. But at the same time, he recognizes his inadequacies."
Oscar®- winner Jeremy Irons discusses his character Rodolfo Gucci
“Rodolfo co-owns the family business with his brother, Aldo, but doesn’t have much interest in it. He was an actor at one time and married a German actress who was better than he was, so he quit. Then she died, and he became obsessed with her and the past. He spends all his time cutting up bits of her movies.”
“I think they were all suspicious of one another. There was, as with any Italian family, a basic love. But within that, there was a lot of muscle-flexing. I would not describe them as a happy family.”
Jared Leto discusses House of Gucci
"This is a film about power and a film about family. It’s also a film about passion, art, creativity, of course, fashion. It’s about loyalty and, certainly, betrayal. I was really surprised and shocked, by the story and I think audiences will be surprised too. Those famous Gucci loafers are going to take on a whole new meaning, that’s for sure."
Lady Gaga discusses House of Gucci and her character Patrizia
"This movie is a genuinely good time. A wild ride and every second is entertaining. Part of Ridley’s magic is that, with all his artistic ways, ultimately, he wants the audience to enjoy themselves."
“Before they see the film, some people might think Patrizia is a gold digger. But when they got married, his family had turned their back on him. So, she didn’t marry for money, she married for love.”
“She wanted so much to be taken seriously by the family. She was smart and felt that she knew what to do in order to move the company forward. But their acceptance was only an illusion. They were all just using her to get to Maurizio and firm up their control. She was always an outsider, a was a woman in a man’s world and there’s only so much she could do, as many women know. Their power can often go unnoticed.”
Oscar® nominated actress Salma Hayek discusses her character, Pina Auriemma
“Pina was a very interesting woman. She’s clairvoyant. A psychic. She can tell the future. When she and Patrizia meet, they immediately connect, and something that starts as a professional relationship becomes a very strong, important friendship for both of them.”
Adam Driver discusses his character, Maurizio
“Seduction is a big part of the movie. Maurizio is seduced by Patrizia, then seduced by power and then by pride. He starts off as kind of goofy and not very elegant. Then he becomes more elegant and, soon, he starts to feel more grounded, that he actually fits into the expensive suits he wears. But in fact, he is being seduced by the very thing he knows is bad for him.”
“He disavows everything that would make his life comfortable but, eventually, he and Patrizia are both seduced by the unattainable. It’s not by design. He inherits it. He doesn’t have the faculty to claim the throne. But Patrizia does because she’s ambitious beyond her station.”
