Happy birthday Pierfrancesco Favino. We could talk about him, through a tour on the web. His age, height and weight, private life. But this all-round actor, who is not afraid of any role, is more. His face expresses a certain Italian character. It's not just the dark colors, the frown, the sweet and intelligent eyes, the jaw. Thick eyebrows where thoughts seem to nestle. A velvety voice. Pierfrancesco Favino is beautiful at second glance. Beautiful yes, but with a beauty that disappears and embodies whoever it wants. Even Don Masino Buscetta does it The traitor by Marco Bellocchio.
Pierfrancesco Favino: the star next door
He is not delicate in his features like a Marcello Mastroianni, his face is a novelty, yet he is familiar. As if he were a star next door. Something full, tangible, which fills a void and goes from reassuring to disturbing. His acting is never over the top. He spans an entire generation, that of the eighties and nineties, he knows a certain type of music, sport, history of this country well.
Pierfrancesco Favino was born on August 24 in Roma. Zodiac sign of Leo, for those who rely on the stars, a sign perfectly represented by this strong-willed and determined man. Which is now celebrating an interesting age. 52 years old. That human maturity that reverberates on your career. Pierfrancesco Favino's path is clear.
Pierfrancesco Favino's career
Linear, marks relationships, Gabriele Muccino's return to the camera, for example, for more films, from The last Kiss, The most beautiful yearsi, passing through At home everyone is fine. A tendency to perfectionism, just follow Buscetta's work as a Carthusian actor on posture, voice and gait. Or to become this other than himself, at times in a realistic, alienating way, like lending his face to Craxi in Hammamet by Gianni Amelio.
Pierfrancesco celebrates a birthday at the height of a well-deserved success. A sensitivity that shines through, even in the choice to co-produce Our Fatheror. A friendly face, which works on TV, in the cinema and in the theater. I remember him first of all in love with the character of Alba Rohrwacher, an ordinary boy from the South transplanted to the North, in the very tender What I want more. But also his participation in Suburra, in the parts of a corrupt.
The successes of a determined actor
It is no coincidence that the prime-time success (yes, I know, Pierfrancesco Favino, was already more than well known) comes with the series entitled Gino Bartali, the timeless.
Play as a champion, work hard, sweat, climb, grind kilometers in laps around Italy. Dedication and passion. Pierfrancesco Favino enters the houses. In the hearts. It doesn't come out anymore. In 2018 he is among the hosts of the Sanremo Festival. Here it is, constantly growing. An impressive number of awards, international productions and still many roles to play. Happy birthday Pierfrancesco. Real Italian.
