After Franzese was released from prison in 1995, he became the only high ranking official of a major mafia family to ever walk away, without protective custody, and survive. Franzese is the author of "Blood Covenant" and "I’ll Make You An Offer You Can’t Refuse." He now works as a public speaker and motivator.

All Comments (21)

Remember when people jokingly commented "real Mafia boss react to mob movies"
-
"I had a brother.. I have a brother" Ouch.
-
His father died 3 years ago at age 103. He is 70 and looks 50. This family has god-tier genetics.
-
How is noone talking about how this dude was in the movie theatre with his girlfriend, fresh outta jail, saw HIMSELF in the movie and immediately said, "we need to get the f%$@ out of here". What a freakin legend 😂 Didnt even know he was gonna be in the movie this guys is hardcore, Good Fellas is a classic
-
“We had fat tony Solaro. We called him fat tony because he was fat.” Me: Alright, this guys the real deal
-
“Why was he called fat tony cuz he was fat” lmfao 😂😂😂
-
The fact his brother went into witness protection program and hasn’t seen him in 10 years is heartbreaking
-
The whole “it fell off a truck thing” is really funny to me cause my grandpa was in the mob and he would send us tons of cool stuff and my dad would joke that it fell off a truck and me and all my siblings thought it was just a joke cause we’re Italian but we later found out that our grandpa was actually in the mob lmao
-
Next up Serial Killer rates Horror movies
-
Him: "Honey, come on, it's just a movie, they make things up" Movie introduces HIM as a character with full name Him: "..." "Come on, we gotta go" 😅
-
The fact he has deep insight of Jimmy Hoffa is wild to think about, considering law enforcement never found the body of the guy
-
Met this man before and shook his hand and he even gave me a couple of minutes of his time. Very interesting man very nice and warm personality but he definitely has the eyes of someone that has seen some things but yet you can tell his family especially his wife and his dad mean everything to him.
-
That must be a mindfuck to watch Goodfellas and see yourself in the movie.
-
I love how this dudes just casually dropping direct confirmation of the mobs involvement with politics and Hollywood 😆
-
I love him explaining the nicknames 😂 “why’d you call him Benny Eggs?” And he just goes “well he liked eggs” 😂😂 a true legend
-
Fun fact: The Godfather movies are not particularly realistic but they became realistic because the mafia saw these movies and got inspired by these movies, for example: the kiss on the hand shown in The Godfather wasn’t a thing when at the time the movie got out but the mafia made it happened and they used these movies to « enlist » the next generation of mobster because the movies portraid the mafia as more romanced than it was at the time
-
"every week we had to be at funerals and marriages, never knew who was marrying or dying" 😂😬
-
Does this guy not age?? He's 68... But looks like he's 48
-
I love how this guy is so honest and informative about who he was/is, it's sad that he hasn't seen his brother in 10 years, but it's interesting that the kiss of death is a Sicilian thing
-
When he said "my father's 103" I was interested so I looked it up and his dad died exactly one week after this was released. What a life he must've lived
