Forever memorable! Terence Hill and Bud Spencer’s friendship is world famous, but few people know the circumstances under which the two acting legends first met. Bud Spencer and Terence Hill have worked together in many films, their duo is world famous, they are the most talked about together, as they make a very good duo.
That’s why later, upon learning that his good friend and colleague had passed away, began to rewrite the movie that was being made at the time, which he eventually recommended to Bud Spencer.
Terence Hill has visited Hungary many times. During his stay here, Story magazine did a reportage with him where he talked about his marriage, the setting of the film and Bud Spencer, among other things. He also revealed how they met their future good friend.
“Bud was just in the Almeria desert filming a movie. It was called Cats, Dogs and Foxes. It had been a week of work when the actor playing the Cat got into an argument with his fiancée, he was about to kick her. but she jumped out and hit the wall, unfortunately he broke his leg So he stopped working, they found another actor who could play the Cat, and they chose me.”
Terence said, and then he also revealed that he didn’t play much.
“They said I had to leave immediately because the whole crew was there, every wasted minute costs a lot of money. I had to get to the filming location from Madrid, because there’s no airport, not even a highway, just a dirt road. Also, they sent me a very old car. We drive twelve hours at night. When we got there, I was happy that I could finally rest in the hotel and get some sleep, but the driver said, ‘No, no, they told me I had to take you straight to the filming location. .’ I met the crew, two women approached me, one of them spread a large towel in front of me and told me to take my pants off. I looked back to see if anyone was in the desert behind me and changed my clothes. I put on my costume and was told to go.”
Terence Hill continued, then moved on to the legendary encounter.
“The director introduced a great man, Carlo Pedersoli. He’s Bud Spencer. I’m frustrated because I feel so tired, I can’t learn the lines and I’m not the type of actor who can improvise. well, I complained that I wasn’t prepared, but the director said, it’s okay, now I just have to fight Dog.That wrestling started our relationship with Bud Spencer. “
