Mike, I have to say you are very compassionate to have Lillo Brancato back on your show. I'm happy you did not sideline him. That shows respect and understanding. I like the direction of your show. Prosperity and peace to Lillo.
@@IssacAintPlayin333 yeah, agree, sounds so stupid... from this pov why northern europeans or siberians haven't thicker skin than others bc of the colder climate? right? smh
@@LoveFirstYou Well duh, but once your childhood is done your voice is pretty much the same throughout. we do not have a drastic voice change like males.
@@AnastasiaLUVSUWell, duh, nothing. Don't try to change up now and act like you always knew that female voices do, in fact, change. Stick to what you first stated. Common sense should tell you not to make idiotic statements like female voices don't change. We don't need you to clarify, after the fact, what you supposedly really meant, when you were simply wrong. Duh.
LiLo looks SO good and healthy. I'm glad he's taking ccare of himself after that rough patch. UPDATE: HOLY SHIT his impression of her saying "cahoo" was *SPOT ON* same pitch and everything. He must've imprinted on her in that very moment or something.
Taral is still gorgeous!! I thought she was beautiful back then n today she seriously hasn’t aged a bit. After watching this, I’m now going to watch the movie again. Great interview as always
For some reason there are moments when I sense her stressing about something. Behind the smiles, I wonder if her and this guy have painful memories. I sense she might be doing a good job acting here, but I heard that they had a relationship off camera and he was abusive. Can anyone confirm???🤔
@@powernomics4716 when you are always looking for the negative you will always find it , now how would this woman know if they had a dam secret relationship, they clearly did say they had only a professional relationship….
@@kelleysaint8606 Sorry to say, but in white people, I always see the negative when they consistently use Machiavellian principles to control my people. As for my people, this lady on screen is one of my people, and concern for my own will always take precedence. Blessings
I remember being at wedding rehearsal/dinner for a family member of Taral's back in the day. The groom mentioned she was going to be in a film with Robert De Niro. Then, A Bronx Tale came and blew us all away ! Taral still looks exactly the same ! She and her Family are really beautiful people. She was Spectacular in Belly as well. So glad to see Lillo has overcome his demons and is happy, healthy and at peace. Great Interview Mr. Franzese. - GOD Bless you all.
Taral Hicks was effortlessly ALREADY one of the most beautiful women in the world. Is it possible that this Radiant Sistah looks even MORE Beautiful now than she was nearly 30 years Ago?!? The only describable way I can refer it would be to say that she profoundly IMPROVED on perfection
It’s called being black and dark skin. This is why I love being dark skinned. Eating healthy and taking care of your skin on top of being highly melanated does wonders. Every thinks my mom is my big sister because of how young and in shape she is. She is 43
Mike, I admire and respect how you’re constantly improving and adding great content to this already fabulous channel! Always grafting. Keep up the good work
They should do a sequel "Another Bronx Tale" showing C's and Jane's life after the past events. Having a half Black half Italian kid growing up in a racially divided climate.
She's literally the reason why I fell in love with black women, and started mingling with different women. Not as a fetish, but she was just my crush for the longest time. Actually had a gf that looked very close to her lol. She's still drop dead gorgeous.
I remember my aunt renting this movie for me and my sister! I absolutely fell in love with it ❤️❤️and its one of my favorite movies of all times!!! It was especially wonderful to see, an African American girl in a lead role!
Taral career took off pretty well, she had a good run as far as 90s and early 2000s. As far as Michael not so much, but that doesn’t take away from how incredible he was as an actor.
Thank you for admitting u had a crush on a saltine colored dude lol....a lot of blk women wouldn't even admit it in front of other people! I know yall catch flak from your fellow blck men for giving Whyte boys a chance when it comes to dating.
The greatest thing about 'A Bronx Tale' is the fact that it teaches you how beautiful your life is, as it is .... It doesn't glorify mob life. The message is The Working Man being the (Real) Hero... It's almost like De Niro's answer to all the mob characters he ever played. Shout out to Michael for bringing them. Looking forward to you interviewing Bob De Niro some day..... !
Wow! I can't believe it's been 28 years. Taral's beauty is like fine wine that doesn't age. Lilo was handsome then, still an attractive guy now. A Bronx Tale is a favorite 😍. Great interview Michael. 👍🏾👈🏾
Boy A Bronx Tale! What a crush I had for Lillo.... Mmmm..LOL that tough Italian accent and talking with the hands stops me in my tracks every time💕😍. But so proud of Lillo for pulling himself together, and getting back into acting. He's definitely a come back Robert Downey Jr, and Drew Barrymore success story of getting back on track, and walking a straight line. You Go Lillo, stay steadfast! And Hoorah to ya!
This movie means the world to me. It was filmed in Astoria queens where I was born and raised. Not only in my neighborhood but on my very street and one avenue down. Right on 44th Street. The church across from the bar (St. Joseph's) was where my parents, grandparents and great grandparents were married and worshipped. It's where I went to school from kindergarten through 8th grade. The stoop C hangs out on is next door to the butcher we shopped at all my life. The funeral home across the street I went to many MANY wakes there. The scene where they jump the black guys on bikes was right up the street from ps10 was where all went to shoot hoops. My dad was even offered a part as an extra to just stand there but for some reason he didnt do it. I'd have to ask him why. One great story was when they were filming the scene of sonny talking to C driving in reverse to the bar, the driveway he pulls out of was right next door to a doctor's office where I was a baby getting a shot and was screaming and crying and the window was open because it was a beautiful day. So all of a sudden Robert De Niro sticks his head in the window and says "can someone shut that kid up or shut the window? Were trying to film a movie here!" Lol I live in upstate NY now so Watching that movie is like going home for a little while. Seeing the old neighborhood especially how I remember it is just great. Greatest movie of all time for me.
I was there too lol! I lived by the little park by 10…. You forgot the school they attended was Bryant high school. I remember all the fake fruits and veritable stands outside all those stores for months. And the corner bar that was the corner spot that always had a different business in it. Oh good times. What a great movie I was and forever will be
Happy to see these two. She looks like a top model after all these years. Lillo has been through so much. Glad to see him doing well. Awesome movie. Another great video.
I didn’t see this movie until a few years after it came out and the first scene I stumbled onto was between C and Jane, and I fell in love. Not only as someone who loves seeing “interracial” (I hate that word) relationships, but because I loved hearing the wisdom in Sonny’s advice to C. I expected it to be like other mob movies where they badmouthed blacks. Hearing him say: “when you’re alone at night, under the covers, that’s all that matters,” and telling him to be his own person and not care about what his “friends” had to say because half of them would end up dead or in jail anyway, I knew the movie would always have a special place in my heart. Coming from Sonny, the impact of those words weighed a lot more to C’s character and to us as viewers. This film was one of those happy surprises I stumbled onto flipping through channels one day, and am so glad I did.
She knows the location of the real fountain of youth. And MAJOR respect to Mr. Brancato on his quitting cigarettes!!!! I still battle that metaphorical demon every day. I'm always happy to hear someone win.
Loved 🥰 this interview, I’m glad to see that Tara still looks so young and beautiful 😍. I loved the Bronx Tale as a kid, beautiful story, great actors. I’m pleased to see they are both doing well in life.
Great interview. Much success to both Lillo and Taral. Both look phenomenal and what great backstage stories. Kudos to Michael... the man knows how to conduct an interview without it sounding like an interview. :o)
Rewatched 'A Bronx Tale' the other night after the first time in years, and was reminded what a masterpiece it is. Love how just by chance this interview appeared so soon after. Michael's a great interviewer and comes across very natural.
It would be great to see them in series where they’re parents of kids going through life today in NJ and NY, teaching them cultural things they’ve learned from their families.
This was a great gem I accidentally stumbled on. I enjoyed this sit-down so much, A Bronx Tale is a classic and one of my favorites. They both look fantastic.
@RU-vid Overlords suck Very sweet, 😍 This movie has a special place in my heart ❤ too. This came out when I was in high school. There was this really cute white guy, school jock type that had a serious crush on me. Man I fell hard, he was my first love and I'll never forget it.
