FOOD or SEX? “That's the cruellest question I've ever been asked!”
Australian Women’s Weekly NZ|January 2022
Actor Stanley Tucci’s lockdown videos and Emmy-winning food show turned him into a hot, midlife crush. Now he’s written a memoir about cooking, love and loss.

FOOD or SEX? “That's the cruellest question I've ever been asked!”

Stanley Tucci walks into the members' section of the Olympic Cinema Club in Barnes, south London, chic, bespectacled and quietly, compactly sexy; 61 years old, with the bearing of a man classically trained in ballet (which he isn't). The room perks up around him. He's just that sort of a bloke, imbued with a low-key charisma, an easy, gentle charm.

“Where shall we go? Shall we go here?” he asks, wafting me towards the nicest armchairs ranged round the nicest table, bathed in a sunlight I could have sworn wasn’t there before he arrived. “I’m so excited to meet you,” he says. I actually believe him.

I unleash my Dictaphone. “What do you want to know?” Stanley asks. I want to know why you're not fat, I say. He laughs, uproariously.

Mine is not as outrageous a question as it might at first seem. Stanley Tucci – star of stage, screen and little screen, of blockbusters (The Devil Wears Prada, The Hunger Games, The Lovely Bones and Captain America), HBO spectaculars (Winchell, Fortitude) and his own cooking/travel show (Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy); Stanley the writer, screenwriter, internet cocktail-making viral sensation, multiple Emmy winner, best friend of Colin firth – has just written a book, a memoir, structured around a lifelong love affair with food. And dear God! This man can, and has, and continues to eat!
