Comedian Cosmin Nanticu, the new iUmor juror (Antena 1), admitted that he was addicted to gambling. Eliza Natanticu, his wife, made confessions to us, exclusively for Playtech News, about Cosmin’s fight with the sinful vice that emptied his pockets.
How Cosmin Nanticu was drawn to the grocery store: “I felt like slamming the elevator door over my fingers”
The actor Cosmin Natanticu admitted, in Mihai Morar’s podcast, that for a while he played at pačanele:
“I’m so glad I got away from it. We didn’t bet on bets, but on bets. You know how it is with beginner’s luck. Varză took us to Casino Live, that is, not to the machines, and we won. Beginner’s luck. I used to say: “What is this nonsense? Stand and punch those buttons like a fool”
Then, another friend took me… and said: “Come on, Cosmine, don’t we go in here?” and he put in and I was sitting next to him. He used to tell me: “Put it in too!”, because he felt that I was in the back of his head. (…) He gave it to me too and I gave it there and won about 300 lei from 10 lei. The second time and the third time… It got me like anything else…
I was spending some money, a lot of money, I felt like slamming the elevator door over my fingers, but never giving my last money”, the great artist confessed to us.
Cosmin Nanticu avoided his wife: “I lied to her that I was going to the office”
The great comedian could no longer hide that he was playing tricks, and one day he confessed to his wife:
“It was a struggle, but the worst part was that I was tricking Lizi. I lied to her that I was going to the office. I mean, as low as you can go. After you go and lose 500 lei, and 700 lei, and 1000 lei, you also lie to that girl that you go and work and she is at home.
The problem was that I would come home nervous and Lizi would say, “Well, he’s got someone! What’s wrong?”, because I was a bundle of nerves and I couldn’t tell him why. At one point, in a moment of sincerity, I told him what was happening. From the moment I told him, the spell was broken”, Cosmin also mentioned, in the same online interview.
Eliza Natanticu is very proud of him: “He had will!”
Contacted by Playtech News reporters, his wife, Eliza Natanticu, spoke to us exclusively for Playtech News about that delicate period:
“I didn’t take things into drama. In addition, he had the intelligence to understand that this vice was harming the relationship, so he stopped himself. It’s hard, because you don’t get away that easily, if you don’t want to. Yes, I had my input too, but he is the one who made the decision.
In the first stage, in fact, I didn’t even know, he was ashamed to tell me. You can see that he is a good man, he could not lie to me for too long. You can’t stop someone, no matter how hard I tried, it’s to their credit.
I wouldn’t have left him, because I love him, we are souls meant to be together, it’s important to be with the person you love even when it’s hard. We no longer have big prides, we have learned to leave each other, there are only small discussions. However, nobody is perfect”.
What does Eliza Natanticu, Cosmin Natanticu’s wife, earn money from
Eliza Natanticu, the life partner of the TV star Cosmin Natanticu, also spoke to us about her artistic projects, as an actress and soloist:
I’ve been focusing more on music lately, I’m working on new pieces, I have a show, for concerts, and for private events, from autumn I resume my artistic activity.
But, I am also preparing a show, a play, which I would like to play on the stage of all the theaters in the country”, Eliza Natanticu also told us, exclusively for Playtech News.
