BIOGRAPHY OF RAOUL BOVA
Son of an Alitalia employee and a housewife, Raoul Bova was born on August 14, 1971 in Rome and, before landing in the cinema, he tried the path of sport – swimming, to be precise, a discipline in which he already excels at the age of 15, when he becomes a youth champion in the center back yards.
After graduating from the magistral institute, ours enrolled at the Isef, but did not finish his studies. After his military service in the Bersaglieri corps, he attended the acting classes at the school of Beatrice Bracco and, after abandoning her, he made his television debut in the script with Sabrina Ferilli and Giuliano Gemma An Italian story (1992). His first film as an actor for the big screen is instead Crazy underpants (1992) by Roberto d’Agostino. In the same year Bova appears in When we were repressed, only to find success suddenly thanks to the Vanzina brothers, who choose him as the male protagonist of Little big love (1993), love story between a surf teacher and a foreign princess. Strengthened by a scene in which he emerges from the water showing a perfectly sculpted physique, Raoul stands out as one of the most promising novelties of young Italian cinema and, in 1995, he assures himself a part in Palermo – Milan: one way, which will follow in 2007 – again under the direction of Claudio Fragasso – Milan Palermo: The return.
If 1996 is for the actor the year of Plebeian nymph and it’s The she-wolf, the period between 1997 and 2000 sees him very busy with TV. Also worth mentioning is a calendar from Max magazine in which he chooses to pose naked.
The first decade of the new millennium brings several occasions to Raoul Bova, who in 2001 he works with Pupi Avati neither The knights who made the feat. The low popularity of the film and the misfortune of not finding a role that fully satisfies him push the actor to look to the American film industry: in 2002 comes for him the possibility of supporting Sylvester Stallone in Avenging Angelo, and almost simultaneously Audrey Wells directs it together with Diane Lane in Under the Tuscan sun.
In 2004 it will be the turn of Alien vs Predator, but before this sci-fi horror Bova will meet a director who will help him take flight again: let’s talk about Ferzan Ozpetek, which in 2003 entrusts him with the role of Lorenzo in it The front window. For the actor, another important partnership is the one with Federico Moccia, who in 2008 called him to captain the cast of di Sorry but I call you love, based on one of his most famous novels. The author of “Three meters above the sky” will also hire him for I’m sorry but I want to marry you (2010). To these light and romantic films, Raoul Bova decides to alternate more serious works: we think above all of Me, the other (2007) – of which he is also a producer and which tells of the encounter-clash between a Sicilian and a Tunisian exile – and Cops (2009) – which deals with young people and drugs by crossing reality and fiction.
While not disdaining the small screen, in the years immediately following Raoul intensified his activity in front of the camera and Our life (2010) by Daniele Luchetti proves to have grown a lot professionally. It is worth noting this maturation of his Paolo Genovese, which before with Immature (2011) and then with Immature – The journey (2012) transforms him into the face of the new semi-serious Italian comedy. Also in 2011 Raoul Bova meets Massimiliano Bruno, which in No one can judge me makes him share the set with Paola Cortellesi. The two actors will work together again in Sorry if I exist! (2014), film by Riccardo Milani in which Raoul Bova will play the part of a gay. Moving on to duets with colleagues of the same sex, the pairing with is worth noting Edoardo Leo in good morning Dad (2013) and the collaboration with Luca Argentero in Unique brothers (2014).
In 2015 Bova finally gets directed by Michele Placido neither The choice, works for the third time with Paolo Genovese – impersonating the Renzo factor in Have you ever been to the moon? – and share the scene with Ricky Memphis in I go back and change my life.
