Andrea Innocenti The podcast Non Lo Faccio X Moda , hosted by Giulia Salemi, was once again the scene of a heated exchange between two well-known faces of the small screen: Gabriel Garko and Michele Morrone . After the latter's provocative remarks on a paid platform, the "Senso 45" star had to respond live, reigniting a discussion that had already begun during the " Belve" program in May 2025.
The Origins of the Controversy: Beasts and the Question About Alberto Tarallo
In 2017, during an episode of Belve , host Francesca Fagnani asked Morrone if, having joined the Mediaset drama series starring Alberto Tarallo , he could become an actor "on the model of Gabriel Garko ." His answer was clear: " An actor? " Fagnani immediately added: "But don't be so arrogant now," underlining the tension already present.
The game of hidden cards: Garko reveals the faces
More than a year later, Giulia Salemi proposed a new format, the "hidden card game," where participants had to comment on colleagues without showing their photos. Garko, however, chose to display the photos, declaring he had nothing to hide.
He praised Raoul Bova , Alessandro Borghi , Luca Argentero, and Claudio Santamaria , before being faced with Michele Morrone 's card . He initially tried to exclude his colleague from " 365 Giorni ," but concluded with the same joke as before, repeating: "He said during an interview, referring to me as 'actor?' ... and I answer you in the same way, 'actor?'." The scene ended with the phrase: " And let's say that for me we'll end it like this ."
Exchanging messages and mutual respect
Garko later stated that Morrone's dig didn't bother him at all, calling it a provocation and even funnier because the two had met years earlier, when Morrone was still little known. The star also admitted to receiving a private message from Morrone: " He and I met in the past, but nothing special. And then I think he wrote to me recently ." While maintaining an ironic tone, Garko acknowledged Morrone's talent for self-marketing , emphasizing his "enormous success" and the 16 million followers he has gained thanks to sensual films, effective social media communication, and advertising campaigns for major brands.
Giulia Salemi, the reference to Morrone and the criticism of Can Yaman
Giulia Salemi didn't stay out of the picture: she accused Morrone of "denying people he'd met in the past," referring to an interview last August in which the actor downplayed alleged flirtations and, when asked about her, replied that he didn't know who she was. The truth, according to Salemi, is that she and Morrone had been in a relationship and exchanged numerous late-night messages, demonstrating Morrone's poor memory.a drama for an actor".
In parallel, Garko expressed his opinion on Can Yaman, observing that, although he is much loved by the public, he does not convince them as actor, but recognizes his stage presence and refined aesthetics.
The confrontation between Gabriel Garko and Michele Morrone took shape again on Non Lo Faccio X Moda , intertwining old acquaintances, public challenges and judgments on other colleagues in the television and film scene.
