In April it was announced that Academy Award winner Joe Pesci would once again be playing a mobster in the upcoming flick ‘Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father’. Here we are three months on and Joe Pesci is two stone heavier and in a legal battle with the producers.
Originally Pesci was suppose to be playing Angelo Ruggiero, Righthand man to notorious mob boss John Gotti, alongside Al Pachino who’s starring as Aniello Dellacroce and John Travolta who will be playing John Gotti Sr.
Pesci claims in his law suit, filed on wednesday in Los Angeles, that he and Fiore Films came to an oral agreement on the role of Angelo Ruggiero for a fee of $3 million for which he broke his healthy diet to put on two stone however it is alleged that Fiore Films only agreed to this to use Pesci’ name a likeness to promote the film.
