Gianni Russo’s Shocking Revelation: Marilyn Monroe and the Scandalous Affair that Made Him a Man

Gianni Russo, renowned for his role as Carlo Rizzi in the iconic 1972 film The Godfather, has recently made headlines with his startling claims about his relationship with Marilyn Monroe.

In his memoir, Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Mob and Movies, Russo divulges that he lost his virginity to Monroe at the tender age of 15, while she was 33.

According to his memoir, Russo first encountered Monroe while working as a shampoo boy at a hair salon in New York City.

As a regular customer, Monroe struck up a friendly and flirtatious conversation with Russo, eventually inviting him to her hotel room.

Russo, in an excerpt from his memoir, shares his initial hesitation but admits that Monroe's persuasion ultimately led to their s**ual encounter.

He describes the experience as unforgettable, stating that it marked his transition into manhood.

However, these claims have faced scrutiny, with some questioning their credibility and suggesting that Russo may be embellishing the truth.

Nevertheless, Russo adamantly maintains the authenticity of his story, asserting that he has no reason to lie.

Regardless of the veracity of Russo's claims, they have undeniably sparked significant interest.

Monroe, an enduring Hollywood icon, coupled with Russo's alleged relationship, would undoubtedly create a scandalous and captivating narrative.

Nevertheless, there is currently no concrete evidence to substantiate Russo's audacious assertions.

In an interview with Sun UK, the actor candidly remarks, “She taught me everything I know.

I thought I was the luckiest boy alive, but if it had happened today, I think she'd be arrested, and my parents would have tried to get some cash out of it.

Was I upset?

No.

I'd just had s** with America's hottest movie star and s** symbol.”

Russo further claims, “Marlon Brando was my only acting teacher, Frank Sinatra was my only singing teacher, and Marilyn Monroe made me a man.”

Moreover, in a video shared on YouTube by the channel djvlad, Gianni Russo details how he was seduced by Marilyn Monroe.

According to his narration, he received an invitation to one of the hotels where Monroe was staying.

He describes entering the suite to find Monroe alone, wrapped in a robe and sitting in a bathtub.

Russo further recounts, “When I saw her, she dropped her robe, and I could see her cleavage.

I couldn't believe what was happening.

Then I surrendered.”

In his memoir, Russo provides additional details of the encounter, confessing, “Like an idiot, I covered my eyes, which made her laugh.

I began undressing, praying I wouldn't trip over my pants and fall on my ass, and then entered the tub.

I'll be honest, I had no idea what to do, or what she expected.

We wound up in bed for the entire weekend, climbing out only when needed.”

While Russo claims to have never previously confided in anyone who would believe him, he did admit the incident to Marlon Brando, who asked him, “Did you bed her?”

Russo shared certain details about Monroe's body marks to convince Brando of the truthfulness of his story.

The revelation of this scandalous affair continues to captivate audiences, as the enigmatic allure of Marilyn Monroe persists even years after her untimely demise.

As for Gianni Russo, his claim to fame extends beyond his acting career, forever linked to a forbidden liaison that shaped his life.
