A boyhood dream will come true for Mill Park comedian James Liotta when he brushes shoulders with screen siren Sophia Loren this weekend.
The Melbourne-based Aussie-Italian has been asked to compere a gala fundraiser this Saturday at Crown Palladium as part of the La Dolce Italia Festival.
Ms Loren will be the guest of honour of gala organisers, the Alannah and Madeline Foundation, a national charity that protects children from violence and bullying.
Mr Liotta said he feels honoured to be meeting the former glamour queen of the silver screen.
“I’ve had quite a few offers from friends to accompany me as my date,” he added.
Ms Loren, now 80, was last in Australia in 2007.
