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.

Adriano Celentano Lyrics

Non sa la paura cos'è
Ma sa che da solo vincerà
Perché lui è James Bond
Lui come un tuono arriverà
E poi coi suoi pugni parlerà
Vedrai, chi ha sbagliato pagherà
Ogni donna che vuole avrà
Anche se dopo lui la scorderà
Lui la sua vita giocherà
Così ogni giorno di più
E mai la sua mano tremerà
Perché lui è James Bond

Io ho un amico che non sa
I have a friend who doesn't know
Non sa la paura cos'è
He doesn't know what fear is
Ma sa che da solo vincerà
But he knows he will win alone
Perché lui è James Bond
Because he is James Bond
Lui come un tuono arriverà
He will arrive like thunder
E poi coi suoi pugni parlerà
And then he will speak with his fists
Vedrai, chi ha sbagliato pagherà
You'll see, whoever made a mistake will pay
Perché lui è James Bond
Because he is James Bond
Ogni donna che vuole avrà
He will have any woman he wants
Anche se dopo lui la scorderà
Even if he forgets her later
Lui la sua vita giocherà
He will play his life
Così ogni giorno di più
And so every day more
E mai la sua mano tremerà
And his hand will never tremble
Perché lui è James Bond
Because he is James Bond

Uno dei miei amici invece, la notte si veste di nero con le orecchie a punta e il mantello, combatte il crimine, di giorno invece si gode i miliardi e le belle donne. Si chiama Bruce e vive in America
