This is how Terence Hill found out about Bud Spencer’s death

An archive text from 2018. Bud Spencer’s death in 2016 had a significant impact on the filming of My Name is Somebody – Two Fists Return, Terence Hill announced. And that’s important, even though the film would do without the big, fat, powerful friend. “Bud was still alive when I was looking for a place to shoot,” Hill said.

While he was looking for a special location, he stood in front of a house that, although good, was not the only one on the list of potential filming locations. Terence Hill was looking for “[einem] House on a hill, like in “Psycho”.

“That’s when my cell phone rang. Bud Spencer’s son said, ‘My father is gone.’ There I was – and then suddenly I was full of joy. I said: This is the right place to shoot because this was where the call came at that moment.”

Dedication to Bud Spencer

The area around Almería, Spain, was also a location for filming. “It was in this desert that I first met Bud Spencer.” Many beautiful memories remained with Spencer over the years, including the scene with the complaint while eating: “You always eat more than me. And I’m fat and you always stay so thin.” The connection between the actors was so close that Terence Hill dedicated his new film to his late colleague.

However, the friendship between Terence Hill and Bud Spencer was not always completely painless, because the beating scenes were not always without complications: “I have met others, and I have been hit too. That happens. You just get so close to the face.”
