“It was frightening. I really WAS the only gay in the village. I was labelled ‘the queenie guy’ and ‘the queer’, which was the worst thing you could be told in Italy in those days.”

He added more by saying:

“I always danced very well, so the great-looking girls would dance around me. One night a bunch of lads got jealous about this. They shouted, ‘You poofter!’ and chased me from the club with a broken bottle, then pinned me up against a wall. I eventually chatted myself out of it with wit and imagination – but I was very lucky.”

More about Bruno Tonioli’s struggles

He explains this in such words:

“I realised I had to reinvent myself. So I grew my hair, started smoking, always wore the latest gear and had the best-looking girls as my friends. I turned it to my advantage and became very popular, just by doing an act. So bullies no longer had any reason to attack me.”

According to Bruno Tonioli, if people admire you, you are less likely to be taken on by them. He said:

“Instead of being an object of derision, I was able to become an object of admiration. If there’s a gay, middle-aged man everybody will take the p*** out of him, yet if it’s Elton John everybody adores him. I think that’s cruel. Whatever people do in bed, it shouldn’t make a difference.”
