Stanley Tucci has played various roles, from comedic to dark and serious.
“So you live all of these different lives in one.”
The pain and the grief have never really left him despite finding love again.
“It’s there in your dreams.
“Because you’ve lost people.
You’ve lost other people, whether it’s parents or grandparents or older friends.
I’ve lost quite a few friends over the last few years.
I’m hardly old.
I’m older but I’m not old yet, I don’t think.
But, yeah, with Kate, it’s always in you.
It’s a very strange thing.
It’s not that you dwell on it.
Ensuring he would be cancer-free, including radiation and chemotherapy treatments, was unbelievably challenging.
It worked, and Tucci stated in a 2022 interview withPeoplehe was “incredibly lucky.”
My senses of taste and smell are more acute.”
Still, it would be a while before he was accurately diagnosed.
“I had a scan, but the scan missed it,” he told People in 2022.
When he finally got his diagnosis, the tumor was massive and had grown to three centimeters.
“They couldn’t do surgery because the tumor was so big,” he said.
“It’s a miracle that it didn’t metastasize.
It had been in me so long.”
“It was terrifying.
My first wife died of cancer.
“When I got it, I was completely shocked.”
“I feel very fortunate to be with Felicity,” he told The Guardian in 2017.
That’s a lot.
But she was willing to take on that challenge.
“Moving to London has been great for everybody.
“The kids now have friends from all over the world.
That wouldn’t have happened in the States.
They have a broader view of the world, and it’s exciting.”
The “Citadel” actor also admitted that America didn’t feel like home for him.
“I never truly felt comfortable living in America,” he later told The Guardian in 2022.
America’s very uptight, and it’s getting uptighter.”
“I feel much older than I did before I was sick.
But you still want to get ahead and get things done.”
“The kids were great, but it was hard for them,” he said.
“I had a feeding tube for six months.
I could barely make it to the twins' high school graduation.”
During this period, he lost a lot of weight and could not eat.
“I lost 35 pounds.
[…] I couldn’t eat.
The pair would have three children, Isabel Concetta Tucci, Nicolo Robert Tucci, and Camilla Tucci.
“It’s still hard.
And it will always be hard.
She would never want that.
She wasn’t like that.”
“We tried everything we could do to save her.
This is not the only time he has admitted to feeling helpless.
There’s a guilt.
There’s no question about that.
There’s a guilt that you’re moving on with your life.
You’re watching your kids grow up.
You’re going to see, hopefully, grandchildren.
She won’t have that opportunity.”
You always feel guilty,” he said (viaThe Mirror).
Or should these parts be reserved for individuals who are part of the LGBTQ community?
He continued, “I think that acting is all about not being yourself.
If we were to use that as a template, then we would only ever play ourselves.
I think what we need to do, we need to give more gay actors opportunities.”
In the interview, he also noted how straight actors are treated and offered all parts.
Whatever happened between them was not clear, but it did come to an end.
Because there’s no way for that to be a good thing.
In it, he played George Harvey, a serial killer.
“It’s a wonderful movie, but it was a tough experience.
Simply because of the role.”
In contrast, there are some roles he really enjoyed.
“I would happily play Nigel in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ again.
It was a really great experience,” he said.
“I would play Paul Child again, when we did ‘Julie & Julia.’
Those are really wonderful roles to play.”
He has been incredibly successful, and this is undisputed, but acting has not been his only job.
It’s too disgusting to describe,” he told The Guardian in a 2016 interview.
He also believes his skills as an actor have become better with age.
“I feel like I’ve gotten better, yeah.
That was the goal, just to keep getting better.
“A lot of it is technique.
