Dreamer, could you please translate ? Or anyone else who does speak Italian...

[Petruchio - Good God]

Great find germanlady... especially with a new pic ... can't wait to see it in original. Friend told me, it's on the way ... if you hear a scream, than it's me

Thank you, Germanlady! Yummy new Rufus article. I can read it, but of course Dreamer can give us the proper translation.

[kissmekate]

I get the gist, but not all the details, so I'd be grateful for a translation, too.

Love the title photo in large size!

[rueful]

Thanks, Germanlady! Fantastic!

Thanks germanlady!

Okay. Here's my best shot ... actually Google Translate's best shot at a translation.

WHY NOT DO A PICNIC?

It will be guilty of the look murky, will be guilty of his body: if you need a bad guy, call him. "And when I refused, I have not worked for a year. " But then come up with a hobby to avoid to tell you ...

The appointment is for a coffee at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. Rufus Sewell, live very high and very handsome, he's the guy who, among other things, heartbreaking to Kate Winslet in Love does not go on holiday, and is the protagonist Pillars of the Earth, the miniseries produced by Ridley Scott, aired from November 9 (for the first time to clear) on Rete 4. You will have seen in a bunch of movies, including The Tourist (in a role silent, one of the many things unexplained a movie unexplained), but maybe do not remember his name because he is often away from the radar: no is a star, not a militant of the red carpet. Perhaps he would also have liked, but now his life has been so: it has become the British actor often required in the period film, the one with po'torbida a face that makes us cry "Oh my God-what's-his-name."

The rainy morning when we meet, Rufus is arrived a few days ago from New Orleans, from the set a vampire movie produced by Tim Burton. One called Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and tells a second imaginative identity of the first President of the United States as a hunter vampires. Rufus is the leader of the vampires fight.

What a bore, this craze of vampires. As we finished too?

They are the last to get on this caravan, however, I can say that I always wanted to do vampire, from very difficult times. Many years ago I was one step away from interpreting Lestat, the starred in Interview with the Vampire.

And then what happened?

What an actor best known to me, a certain Tom Cruise, said the interested party and I was made out.

Since then, however, has almost specialized in parts to be bad.

In fact more money is there in a film, the more I am likely to face the bad.

Do you mind?

I am sorry that you still write things in which we are the good and the bad, I dislike the sloppy script that, unfortunately, are the the majority.

Have you ever said no?

Yes But then, I have not worked for a year or even two. And, just to get back to work, here I am remake the bad here and there.

What do you do when you unemployed? I read that like photography.

I confess that I started to say that I the hobby of photography to some of his colleagues because I was ashamed to tell the truth. If not work, live. I go to the dentist, I watch TV and I complain, I look around, I do the short things that everybody does, however, it seems bad to say journalists, so I invented this thing of photos. In fact, on a day like today do more. Will organize a picnic in my garden.

It's raining, I do not think a great idea.

Is my girlfriend's birthday (Ami Komai, hair stylist, have been together for two years, Ed.) By now we invited a lot of people.

But sometimes the picture really does?

Actually, yes. I also have a couple of super-professional cameras. Depict the people, trying to grasp at a time of distraction, when they are not posing too much.

And you, when posing, how are you?

I do not like to smile, I seem to be ugly. So I put on my face to the standards Duran Duran or Depeche Mode, very eighties.

You liked those groups?

Not particularly. For me there was only David Bowie was a fan sparked. my hair as he dressed like him. Unfortunately I did not have physical.

In what sense?

I was round. Several round!

You suffered?

Like all adolescents. My brother advanced around, I called The Fat White Duke.

Then it is thinner, though. I bet, however, his brother is fat.

Not at all, damn him. has always been thin, but I feel I need to soak for at the form.

Never met your idol David Bowie?

Yes, and I also told my brother I had renamed it that way. He was fantastic. He laughed at my jokes, more than other. And when one laughs at my jokes I I immediately think that it has a great sense of humor.

Meet their idols, usually, is likely to be a disappointment.

The day after meeting Bowie, I had a appointment to work with Robert De Niro another idol. We read a script, then did not was done about it, but we spent a few hours together. And, just as with Bowie, I realized that the only way to survive encounter with someone you've admired for years away, forget that it is your great hero to concentrate solely on the fact that it is a person, otherwise you do not send even keep the conversation going.

Last year he lived in Rome to shoot the investigations Aurelio Zen, a serious TV that sooner or then, should air on Channel 5. When working abroad ever get to see on TV some of his old movie dubbed?

Yes, often! It feels strange. For example, I saw a piece of Dangerous Destiny (a film of '98, ed) and I liked more in Italian! They gave me a voice very stronger and more right for the character.

In recent times it has happened that his debut in a TV series and then the cancellation is success with Eleventh Hour in the United States, and now with Aurelio Zen in England. Disappointed?

Relieved! The best part of life are promises and disappointments. If something ends, means that there is something new, perhaps better, waiting for you.

Optimistic.

More than anything else terrified by the routine. The more a series is successful, the more risk to do no more for months, maybe years.

You're telling me that if they would propose a role featured in the next Grey's Anatomy, not accept?

Never say never. But the idea that my destiny is marked scares me more than the prospect of remain out of work.

You are English, has chosen to live in Los Angeles to make an American career?

I came here for Eleventh Hour, I knew my girlfriend and I stayed. Was not the program.

He has already been married twice: to be married third?

Now he wants to know too much!

He believes that his marriage did not work because of his work?

When love ends, each one tells a history more or less convincing reasons on so it would be finished, or could have been to continue. And then, closely observed, any relationship has a disorder that often paradoxically, is the stuff that runs everything.

Tell me about his son Billy, nine years old, watch his films?

Yes, I saw and understood what constitutes my work. But a few years ago, as I turned the movie with Banderas, I would say around working with Zorro.

That's funny.

Look, is not an unusual story, I told in other interviews. I'm sorry to recycle this joke, but it's the funniest thing I've said my son.

Is amazing that you notify me that it is something already released. Usually his colleagues repeated the same thing at all. Thank you.

Do not mention it. Now, can I go? The picnic in the pouring rain waiting for me.

:(Great find! Many thanks to Germanlady for the link and to Judypatooty for the translation!

[rueful]

Thanks very much for the translation, Judy. Although in a few places, I think it might be easier to understand the Italian than this Googlish. ;D Luckily, the pictures speak many thousands of words.

[GreenEyesToo]

Thank you for the link, Germanlady , and for the....er....interesting and...um....eccentric translation, Judy! ;D (And Rueful - Googlish? I like that! ;D)

Had another look today at the VF on sale here = no Rufus. Wonder why the interview's only in the Italian issue? Meanies!

Thank you Germanlady! wonderful article + wonderful photos = WONDERFUL RUFUS!!!

[kitty]

Thanks! Yes, Googlish is cute, lol.

[germanlady]

Thank you very much, Judypatooty.
Love your translation...

[kygal]

Thanks Judy! Very enjoyable. I checked out the recent VF here also and am upset he is only in the Italy version. I went to Joseph Beth and they had a foreign version of VF but not sure which one it was. It was a September issue. Will keep checking. I did find a site you could buy the Italian VF by issue but they are on September as well....I think it was magazinecafeny.com.
