Gucci family say Ridley Scott movie is 'stealing the identity of a family'

"We are truly disappointed. I speak on behalf of the family," Patrizia told the publication.

"They are stealing the identity of a family to make a profit, to increase the income of the Hollywood system. Our family has an identity, privacy. We can talk about everything. But there is a borderline that cannot be crossed." Other concerns raised by the family include the addition of other members of the family, notably Aldo Gucci, played by Al Pacino and Paolo Gucci played by Jared Leto, whose stories intersect little with Maurizio, inaccuracies in the book on which the film is based on and the lack of contact with the film's production company.

About the casting of Pacino, Patrizia said he bares no resemblance to her grandfather."My grandfather was a very handsome man, like all the Guccis, and very tall, blue eyes and very elegant. He is being played by Al Pacino, who is not very tall already, and this photo shows him as fat, short, with sideburns, really ugly."

She also took offence to pictures of Leto on set as Paolo in a lilac corduroy suit and unkempt hair."Horrible, horrible. I still feel offended," she said.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
