Heavily influenced by his idol, Elvis Presley, and the 1950s rock revolution, he is also known as the most famous dancer of the Hula hoop fad. For the last 40 years he has retained his popularity in Italy, selling millions of records and appearing in numerous TV shows and movies (including a short appearance in Fellini's La Dolce Vita, before becoming a famous artist). In the latter respect, he has also been a creator of a comic genre, with his characteristic walking and his facial expressions. For the most part, his films were commercially successful, in fact in the 1970s and part of the 1980s, he was the king of the Italian box office in low budget movies. As an actor, critics point to Serafino (1968), directed by Pietro Germi, as his best effort.
As a director he frequently casts Ornella Muti, Eleonora Giorgi and his wife Claudia Mori. His best movie like director is "Yuppi Du", winner of The Golden Palm at Cannes Festival. He and Claudia are the parents of Rosita, Rosalinda and Vincent Celentano, the latter most notable to worldwide audiences for playing the Satan character in Mel Gibson`s The Passion of the Christ. He also works often as a host for several Italian television shows.
His 1968 song "Azzurro" has regained popularity in 2006, due to it being the anthem of the Italian national football team (the Azzurri) who won the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The artist Vincent Fiorello has also created a remix of the song.
His last concert-event in 2012, after 18 years without live performances, was transmitted on Canale 5, with over 9 million viewers both evenings.

Brutta
Brutta
Sei la piu' brutta del mondo per me
Quando non vuoi
Guardarmi un po'.
Brutta
Brutta
Sembri distratta ma tu non lo sei
Fingi con me,
Tanto lo so.
A...a...a...
Senza me, puoi credermi
La tua bellezza non puo'
Splendere piu'.
Vanno in fumo gli occhi tuoi
Una befana tu sei,
Se non sei qui con me.
Dove vai, con che vai
Se non sei qui con me.
Dove vai con che vai
Se non sei qui con me.
Dove vai con che vai
A...a...a...
Brutta
Brutta
Stai spiando che non guardi te
Cosi tu puoi guardare me.
A...a...a...
Brutta
Brutta
Se con un altro a parlare tu sei
Dentro di te,
Parli con me.
A..a..a..
Senza me, puoi credermi
La tua bellezza non puo'
Splendere piu'.
Vanno in fumo gli occhi tuoi
Una befana tu sei,
Se non sei qui con me.
Dove vai, con che vai
Se non sei qui con me.
Dove vai con che vai
Se non sei qui con me.
Dove vai, con che vai
A..a..a..
The song "Brutta" by Adriano Celentano is a story about a man who is in love with a woman who he considers to be the ugliest in the world. He loves her deeply, and feels that she is beautiful only when she is with him. In the first verse, he sings that she is the ugliest in the world for him, and when she doesn't look at him, it hurts him deeply. The second verse suggests that she is pretending to be unaware of his attention when, in reality, he knows she's aware.
The chorus talks about how her beauty is only complete when she is with him. Without him, her beauty fades away and her eyes lose their shine. The song continues with the man expressing his jealousy when she interacts with other men. He feels that she talks to him even when she's talking to someone else. The song ends on the same note, urging her to stay with him and be his, for she is the most beautiful to him than any other woman in the world.
