This
exclusive interview with legendary Joe Dallesandro was conducted by Nicola
Linza and Cristoffer Neljesjö in Los Angeles during March 2011.
Let’s dive right into it, how did you meet Andy Warhol?
I was out with a friend who took me to meet the guy that
paints the soup cans. They put me in the film that afternoon.
Is your crotch the one Warhol used for the infamous Rolling Stone’s
cover of Sticky Fingers?
Yes. I'm only the outside photo; it's another person
on the inside of the album.
Why did you hang around The Factory so long?
I was employed to answer the phone, do various jobs
and protect Andy. I was only there for five years and did not "hang
around". I worked, made films and went home.
Did you always want to be an actor?
No
What was the worst part of being one of Andy’s Superstars?
It never ends.
