Thank you, guys. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be back. Nice to see you. So you still live in Milan. You got to shoot on Capri

Can we have your life? It's not a bad gig there for you. Happy Saturday in New York

Yeah, there you go. Back to mommy New York here. yeah i love new york you know every time i'm here i feel super excited you know it's really inspired

you know what is it that inspires you about new york we'll start there you know because you know

i had you know i signed with you know um a label here in new york and every time i hear i'm working

so much about my music you know i make soundtracks for my films and all of that um it's it's super

exciting because i i can't focus so much on music and nothing and nothing else except for films of

those four of course and all that so yeah. So did you have any music in another simple

favor So I didn have any music in a simple favor but yesterday I had the premiere of another film and unfortunately I couldn be there because I here in New York and this film is called Home Sweet Home Rebirth and in that film the soundtrack of my film it called Unobtainable

It's my, yeah, it's my song. Oh, good, we'll have to check it out, but I gotta tell you, I was there Sunday night at the premiere

I know, I saw you. It was so much fun, I love the movie

Your character takes a lot of twists and turns. Yeah. Do you want to talk about it

What can you talk about? I mean, this character, Dante Versano, is, let's say, it's a businessman, like, a legit businessman

It's a kind of mafia boss, you know. The first time that Paul called me, it was like, Paul Fink, the amazing Paul Fink, you know, calling me

He was like, you know, I want to work with you. And I was like, yeah

And I read the script. was like, oh, again? Playing again on Muffy Boss. But then I got so

into the character and the script and I found something could be, you know

more interesting than a usual Muffy Boss. It really takes a lot of twists and turns

Were you comfortable with all those twists and turns? I live in twists and turns

in my real life. I feel home, you know, kind of. What was it like joining this film

You know, because you don't have to have seen a simple favor. Right. But this is already an established franchise

You have actors that have worked together, Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively. What was it like for you to try and jump in on a train that already rolling It was you know it was kind of a blessing to me because I got to work with such great artists and with Anna with Blake you know with Henry

There are amazing actors. And for me, it was a blessing because I understood that I could have learned a lot from them

you know, because, you know, they they were already a family. So it's never really easy to get into a franchise in the second film because you find already an established family

But they welcome me very well. We've got one more clip of your work here

Oh, you're a deep mama. You look amazing. No amount of fashion can rescue this marriage from disaster

Oh, lovely mama, Portia. Good to see you. This is Stephanie, Stephanie's mother's, this is Portia Rosano

Hey, it's nice to meet you. You look beautiful. Oh, coming from you, that means very little

Let's eat. Good mama. I'm in love with her. Your mother is so funny in this film

He wants to be a mafia boss. He wants to be big and all that, but, you know, the real boss is his mom

And he's just like, yeah, I want to be, but I cannot

A mamone, you're a little bit of a mamone. Yeah, I mean, yeah. And the film is kind of, yeah

Do you keep your clothes on more than you did in the 365 series? Once again, sorry

365. Yeah. The series. Do you keep your clothes on more in this movie than you did in that

I mean 365 Let just say we going to be disappointed Yeah no you not going to be disappointed at all We just talking about you know different kinds of like two different worlds

So, yeah, 365 was, yeah, something more intense. This one is way more funny

It's a dark comedy. You know what I'm saying? Right, right, right. So I have to say, Blake Lively, her Italian is fantastic

So did you help her? Did she speak Italian before that? Of course, we had such a great time with Blake

You know, me trying to teach her some Italian words. And we end up saying Cornelio, which means rabbit

The whole, like, two months of, you know, two, you know, it's funny because in two months

was trying to teach her, you know, Italians, and, you know, the only thing that she learned

was Cornelia, which is rabbit, and it was so fun. Did you teach her curse words

I mean, come on. Of course. Yes, all right. That's always the first thing you learn. Yeah, exactly

And by the way, set in Capri, it is such a gorgeous and fun film

Yeah. Paul Figue is going to be here tomorrow with Elizabeth Perkins. Oh, really? Yeah. So that should be fun. Yeah

Elizabeth is an incredible actress. Yeah. When I wasn't sad, the way I was looking at her, getting into the crazy mom, insane crazy mom, was beautiful

It was such a beautiful lesson to me. She's an incredible actress

She really is. All right, Mike Michele Moroni, always great to talk to you. Nice to meet you

Nice to meet you. Have fun while you're in New York. Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Always good to see you. Thank you
