Tarantino is notorious for peppering his films with cult character actors (Pam Grier in Jackie Brown, David Carradine in Kill Bill) leading to speculation that Nero is a shoe-in for a role in Django Unchained. And now Tarantino wants to do a Django movieso ok. Ah yes that would be Django Unchained, the uber-geek filmmakers take on both the Spaghetti Western and Americas dubious history in the slave trade. The Shark Hunter became Django versus the Shark! But you know its not my problem.

All the movies that I did they called them Django, you know? Like my film How to Kill a Judge, a political thriller, became Django with the Mafia.

In Germany they have a complex with Django, laughs Nero. The films success saw a plethora of unofficial sequels like Django Kill and Django the Bastard - while some countries went even further than that. Because they made other Django movies you know. Thats an understatement. Django! They know the name Django but always together with Franco Nero. I just came from making a film in Brazil and in Rio everyone knows this name, hey Django. I am very happy that Ive done Django, he says. Even the fact that he has been unable to shake off the Django persona despite an eclectic career (that will include this years Cars 2) doesnt faze him. He claimed he had dinner with Kennedy and Krushchev! All Bullshit!) but all told with an easy smile and a fond remembrance. He loves to tell stories (referring to horror director Lucio Fulci as, a big liar. He has an easygoing charm that is as evident in person as it is onscreen. Born Francesco Sparanero in 1941 in provincial Italy, it was his striking look that first attracted John Huston who, as legend has it, spotted Nero taking photographs on the set of his epic The Bible and exclaimed, Thats the face I want, before casting him in the role of Abel. On Django he kept saying to the lighting man, hey you better put the proper light on those blue eyes of Francos because theyre going to make me a lot of money. And those blue eyes havent done badly for Nero either.

The lead had no words, a mute, and Corbucci said, for the first time the lead actor dies and the bad guys survive! Corbucci was a man full of humour. I remember he offered me a western I couldnt do because I was in America.

I think Corbucci was a little more ambitious. He tried to be very original. They were two assistant directors on many of the same movies (including 1959s The Last Days of Pompeii) so they were enemies and friends at the same time. You know Corbucci and Sergio Leone came from the same school. While that other Spaghetti heavyweight Sergio Leone had Clint Eastwood, Corbucci had Nero (arguably the more versatile actor).

We didnt have a script so when we interrupted the movie for the Christmas holidays, director Sergio Corbuccis brother Bruno put together an outline scene by scene of what would happen right until the end. Despite the difficulties Nero and Corbucci became close, their relationship developing over three westerns (including The Mercenary and Compañeros).

When we started, the key set, the village with the mud, wasnt even finished. Django was a tough movie to make because it was shot in the winter time, he says while settling into his cinema seat. And Django, the film that made him an international star, is clearly still fresh in his mind. Never-the-less, dressed in black, lean, olive skin, gregarious, those iconic blue eyes still glimmering with life, Nero is not your typical 69 year old. The ceremony takes place immediately prior to a screening of Django and when OWF catches up with him in the screening room before hand, its startling to see how little the actor has changed since playing the laconic coffin dragging antihero (though Compañeros co-star Thomas Milian claims that Nero would deliberately age up in his films, using make up to achieve an ageless effect later on in life). Why not? Nero is in town to attend this years Cine Excess Film Festival, a three day conference on global cult cinema where the actors dedication to alternative films will see him pick up a Lifetime Achievement Award. Ive done movies with a Brazilian director, an Australian director, films in Russia, Spain, Germany, Sweden, from all over the world. I did everything, he explains, I think Im the only actor whos worked with the cinematography of all nations. Hes been in musicals like Camelot (with his future wife Vanessa Redgrave), pumped up 80s action films like Die Hard 2, cop thrillers (The Marseille Connection), comedies (Cippola Colt) and even Bruce Lee inspired martial arts movies like Enter the Ninja. Since his star turn in the iconic Spaghetti Western Django, the Parma born movie star has appeared in more than 150 films, spanning all four corners of the globe.
