"Love letter to Italy" is how Jared Leto described his performance as Paolo Gucci

I am shocked that is Leto. Kind of an amazing performance.
before the pitchforks come out you all should listen to some audio from the Gucci family at the time. It is not a perfect impression but it is fairly close.

After watching House of Gucci, which felt a half-hour too long, I wondered whose accents were coming across as good efforts to Italians.
Jeremy Irons was barely even trying.

Looking it up, it's funny that Paolo (Leto's character) seems to have the least strong accent of them all though, lol
Meanwhile it seems like Adam Driver could have actually put on a stronger one
What movie *isn't* too long these days? I swear that there is some industry rule introduced last year that every movie has to be at least 2:30 in runtime. And I LIKE long movies!
Streaming is a big part of it.
Movie theaters are incentivized to have shorter movies, since they can have more shows per day and make more money, but streaming services care about hours of content and time in the app.
I fucking hate it.
Venom 2. I know it's not a masterpiece but I appreciated the shorter run time.
I always do wildly exaggerated, borderline racist impersonations of cultures I love.
Seriously though, Paolo Gucci sounded absolutely nothing like that. Leto is apparently playing Wario instead. Which is not really that surprising, since Leto seems to only be capable of playing caricatures.

Does the tweet in the OP supposed to mean something? I understood him fine. Maybe she needs a hearing test.
I have a friend who work in the periphery of Hollywood, the boring, business side of things, and that was the first thing ever they told me about the business of moviemaking that made sense to me.
Same. I am in no way a fan of Leto but I understood every word in the above clip.
Saw House of Gucci yesterday. It was almost impressive, the way Leto would open his mouth and scenes would just turn to shit.
I agree, but I have the feeling that he probably believed that making little/no effort at an accent is better than speaking with a mangled accent. If I could, I wouldn't mind checking out his original takes to see if he had been struggling with it.
lmao. Now you have me wanting to watch the movie again as if he is Wario speaking to Maurizio as if he's Mario.
In this video? Really? In this video Gaga sounds way more eastern european than Italian to me and Adam Driver just sounds like himself.

Ah I see you also know the difference between poopy and chocolate
Mama-Mia! Datsa spicy-a meataball-a!
I actually think he's joking and it's a bit of wry humor on his part but it just makes him come across as more obnoxious.

He's not unintelligible that's true, he's talking like a fucking cartoon character.

Yeah I think people posting that they can understand him are completely missing the very obvious point of what's wrong with his performance, let alone acting like it's somehow honouring Italy.
In a movie where everyone's doing some sort of outlandish accent he still managed to act like he was on a completely different set to everyone else
Why do they keep hiring this dude

This accent does a walking tour of about 37 cities and none of them are in Italy.
I have a feeling that Jeremy Irons just didn't give a shit, because the whole idea is fucking ridiculous, and he's a 73 year old man who doesn't have to do that kind of minstrel bullshit to get a check. He didn't do that for Borgias either, because he's not playing Assassin's Creed.
This is kind of like saying that Russ Abbott's character C U Jimmy is a love letter to Scotland.
or that any American impression of a French soldier in WW2 is the same.
