I’m a porn icon, I give my athlete son tips to beat fear of failure

LEONARDO TANO’S porn icon parents helped the athlete become a rising star.

Father Rocco – also known as the ‘Italian stallion’ – claims he gave the hurdles hero the warning on ‘how to combat fear of failure’.

Now Leonardo, 24, is in pole position to unleash his astonishing all-round talents – with all the necessary mental and physical attributes.

On a sporting level, the part-time model eagerly plays the field – and the track.

The social media influencer rode dirt bikes, was a karting champion and also ran before focusing on his main gift: hurdles.

And thanks to some fatherly advice, he confidently takes on all newcomers as one of Hungary’s most popular candidates.

Tano Senior, 59, who calls herself a sex addict, and wife Rozsa Tassi, 51, rose to fame thanks to their screen names Rocco Siffredi and Rosa Caracciolo.

Rocco has appeared in more than 1,300 adult “movies” and the Netflix show Supersex, which was released Wednesday.

But he is most proud of the fact that he keeps his son on the right path in sports.

The Daily Star report that Rocco said: “I taught him to combat the fear of failure.

“Leonardo took over all my stubbornness. But in another area he uses his head much more, so to speak.”

Tano Junior was a karting nut until he got too big.

Fortunately, his 6-foot frame has proven ideal for the obstacles.

And his father loves the dedication Leonardo has shown in recent years, even when he was a mechanical engineering student.

He told Crush fanzine at the time: “I try to play as many sports as possible.

“My main focus is on athletics, which I do six times a week, with rest on Sundays.

“I would say I am addicted to exercise because for me it is an important ingredient for my overall health and happiness.”
