Backstage Chaos and Food Stealing: Il Volo’s Hilarious 2018 Interview with WaluTV Media
Long before their massive 2026-2027 World Tour, the boys of Il Volo were already famous for their chaotic, sibling-like chemistry. In a throwback interview with WaluTV Media on July 26, 2018, the trio let their guards down to reveal a series of hilarious, everyday habits and backstage secrets that fans rarely get to see.
From teasing each other about gray hair to exposing extreme dining room boundaries, the interview captures the peak comedy of their “artistic marriage.”
1. Speaking Too Fast for Backstage Crew
The interview starts with a laugh about how the trio interacts behind the scenes. The host and the boys joke about how incredibly fast they talk when they are left entirely to themselves.
“You actually scare people because you talk so fast,” they joked. “At the beginning, it was so difficult to understand them! They live life on fast-forward, and the rest of us are just left sitting there laughing because we can’t keep up mentally with what they’re trying to say.”
2. The “Fake Hair” and Graying Debate
The teasing quickly turned physical when the boys started exposing each other’s secrets regarding their appearances. Ignazio poked fun at the natural color of their hair, leading to a hilarious back-and-forth about who is aging or dyeing their locks:
-
Piero: Proudly declared, “My hair is entirely mine, but the color… well, I used to be a bit bluer/lighter!”
-
The Trolling: Gianluca and Ignazio immediately jumped in to look at his hairline, joking about what else might be fake. “His ears are his, but the belly? That’s entirely his own!” Ignazio laughed, claiming Piero was getting implants or hiding gray hair just like women do.
3. Gianluca’s Hatred of Social Media Over Sharing
When discussing what people don’t know about their private lives, it was revealed that Gianluca is the most anti-social media member of the group. While he checks his phone, he absolutely refuses to post constant updates on Instagram.
“I don’t want to miss the moment,” Gianluca explained. “If you go out to eat, why do you have to immediately take a photo of the food or a photo of your friend? Just eat!”
4. The Ultimate Restaurant Rule: Don’t Touch My Plate!
This led to the funniest revelation of the interview: Gianluca’s strict dining etiquette. Ignazio and Piero completely exposed Gianluca’s absolute hatred of anyone sampling food from his plate.
-
The Food Boundary: “What people don’t know is that when we eat, Gianluca absolutely does not want you to taste anything from his dish,” Ignazio revealed.
-
The Fork Violation: “If you ask him nicely, maybe. But if you just casually reach over with your fork to grab a bite, he hates it! Meanwhile, he always sneaks over and steals food from our plates!”
-
The Bathroom Warning: Piero added a hilarious warning: “You cannot leave him alone to go to the bathroom. If you go to the restroom and come back, he will have eaten your entire meal!” (Gianluca loudly defended himself, shouting, “That is a lie! That is a total lie!”).
Ending in Perfect Harmony
Despite the relentless bickering, talking over one another, and complaints about stolen french fries, the trio proved why their bond is unbreakable by closing out the interview in the way only they can.
Switching seamlessly from laughing to total professionalism, they delivered a breathtaking, impromptu live harmony of the classic Italian track “Il Mondo” by Jimmy Fontana, proving that even in 2018, their musical synchronicity was entirely unmatched.
