Vinny Guadagnino ‘Hated Filming Jersey Shore’
Before MTV’s Jersey Shore, Vinny Guadagnino was an anonymous college kid considering a law career. Now, six seasons later, he’s practically a household name, and he’s got his own spinoff show. But, he tells Ali, he didn’t always enjoy the ride.
“I hated filming it,” he says. “You film 24 hours, there’s cameras in the ceiling watching you sleep. You don’t have a camera, you don’t have a TV, you don’t have a cellphone. You can’t read, you can’t write.”
That doesn’t mean Vinny’s not grateful. “The opportunity that it brings is amazing and I got real friends from it.”
His new MTV show, The Show with Vinny, is one such opportunity. He interviews celebrities at the home he shares with his mother and sisters.
“I make sure that they eat, Vinny interviews them, and we have a nice time,” says mom Paola.
So why, with all his success, does Vinny still live with his mom?
“We grew up in a really small apartment,” Vinny remembers. “Then I wanted her in my sisters to move into a big house. So I bought a really big house.”
He lives downstairs, and the rest of his family lives upstairs.
“She can do my laundry, she can cook,” he says, generously. “I still want her to feel like a mom.”
