Gabriel Leone Interview: Senna, Ferrari, and Playing Alfonso de Portago
Michael Mann’s first feature in eight years, Ferrari, is now in theaters. Starring Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz, and Shailene Woodley, this biopic takes a close look at a paramount time in Enzo Ferrari’s life, during the early summer of 1957. The renowned auto engineer was still mourning the death of his son with his wife and business partner, Laura Ferrari (Cruz), when their luxury empire was facing a decline, adding pressure to showcase his life’s work in the final deadly Mille Miglia.
In a conversation with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, Gabriel Leone, who plays the aristocratic racer, Alfonso de Portago, sits down to discuss how he worked with Mann to research Portago, a Spanish noble, an accomplished sportsman, and a playboy of his time. He shares how they captured the character by evoking Marlon Brando’s energy, why working with Mann was so special to him, and how the racing scenes compared to his turn as Brazilian idol, Ayrton Senna, in Netflix’s upcoming miniseries, Senna.
