If you’re in need of even more Tucci than that (and, trust us, we relate), then don’t despair: the actor will be starring as record executive Clive Davis – aka the man who discovered Whitney Houston – in the upcoming musical biopic about the late singer, I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

“I’m so excited,” he said. “It was an amazing experience. I don’t often say that about films, you know, but it was really great. The people were so nice. And this young woman, Naomi Ackie, is just incredible. Incredible”

Tucci added: “They’re so smart to release it at Christmas because you want to go and you want to celebrate, even though it’s a tragic story. Because Whitney Houston still… well, when you listen to that voice, it just gives you joy. It gives you such happiness. I was in love with everyone I worked with after filming that. I was there for like three weeks and I didn’t want to go. It was wonderful.”
