The Cast

In addition to that, Al Pacino is acting in the film as Aldo Gucci. Al Pacino plays a major role in the movie. Aldo Gucci grew the fashion label internationally. Jared Leto is playing as Paolo Gucci. Paolo created the company’s famous double G logo.

The Gucci family’s reaction

Gucci’s family shocked after seeing paparazzi photos from the set. The family felt the photos of Leto with a bald head dressed in a lilac suit were “horrible, horrible.” Patrizia Gucci said, “I still feel offended.” Patrizia is one of Maurizio’s second cousins.

“My grandfather was a very handsome man, like all the Guccis. Very tall, blue eyes and very elegant. He (Aldo) is being played by Al Pacino, who is not very tall already, and these photos show him as fat, short, with sideburns, really ugly. Shameful because he does not resemble him at all,” Patrizia said.

In addition to that, Patrizia said: “I speak on behalf of the family. They are stealing the identity of a family to make a profit and increase the income of the Hollywood system. Our family has an identity, privacy. We can talk about everything, but there is a borderline that cannot be crossed.”

Furthermore, Patrizia Reggiani claimed she reached out to the House of Gucci and no one got back to her.

What the movie is about

Sara Gay Forden’s book – The House of Gucci: a Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour and Greed turned into a movie.

The story is based on Reggiani, who hired a hitman to kill Maurizio Gucci. This happened in 1995 in Milan. Furthermore, Maurizio left Reggiani for another woman.

Moreover, the Italian media called Reggiani the “Black Widow” during the trial. She served 17 years in prison.

A reporter asked Reggiani why she had not shot her ex-husband herself. Reggiani said: “My eyesight is not so good. I did not want to miss.”
