Married, father of two son, forty years he had wanted to stop porn. Against all odds, that choice had resulted in the torment of mistakes, awakened inner demons …
Gala: How do you analyze this deeper malaise that you have gone through?
Rocco Siffredi : It took me back to a nightmare I was a child. One of my brothers – we were six children – died when he was little following a seizure. For four, five years, I saw my mother terribly unhappy. I would have done anything to make the pain, make it more joyful life, which meant having a few lire to put on the table. My father worked, but mender, it brought little. One night I dreamed that a kind of devil approached and said: “If you come to me, I will help you to become someone and you can help your mother. “This nightmare has haunted me throughout adolescence. When I started working as a porn star, it continued unless the heck I was trying to repel added: “It’s too late! “I think it was related to the confusion between what I was taught – I was an altar boy, religion taught me that sexuality was to live in marriage – and the other side me sex is very , very free – at eleven-two, I already had an explosive libido.
Gala: Have you felt guilty?
RS : Yes, but compared to my wife only. Never for the Church or my parents. (…)
Gala: At forty, you decided to stop porn. Why?
RS : I started to feel bad. Compared to my kids too. But I had not measured how much I was addicted to sex. It’s a real addiction drove me to do horrible things. It was obsessive. I was able to drop everything, even a game with my son to go find sex on the Internet. Young, old, trans, everything! After, I was running, I got home, I grabbed my children who slept like angels and rediscovered my wife looking at me seemed to say: “OK, you’re still missing a time …” It was terrible. I saw mine and I wondered, ” Why am I doing this Do I deserve this family? “All that I slowly destroyed from within.
Gala: How have you met Rosa?
RS : I was a casting for a movie, I saw a Polaroid of her. I was told then that it was not a porn actress, but Miss Hungary. I insisted on meeting her. I offered to be host to distribute flyers during a Cannes Film Festival. After I had to shoot a remake of Bodyguard, and the girl who played the role of Whitney Houston has missed his plane. So, I proposed to replace Rosa. She agreed on one condition: she has sex scene with me. We did that once.
Gala: How your son Lorenzo, twenty, and Leonardo, seventeen, do they live this situation?
RS : In Italy, when you’re a porn star, you’re a superhero. In Hungary, where they attend school, the mentality is different, everybody knows what I do and do not care. My kids have that chance. And I always told them about my job .
