Sir Ridley Scott has responded to criticism of his recently released biopic House of Gucci from the real-life Gucci family.
Before the film was released, Guccio Gucci’s great-grandchild Patrizia Gucci criticised the casting of Al Pacino in the role of Aldo Gucci, describing it as “shameful”.
Leto’s performance has also faced criticism from members of the Gucci family.
In a statement, the Gucci family have criticised the film, which stars Adam Driver, Jared Leto and Lady Gaga, describing it as an “insult to the legacy on which the brand is built today”.
