Michele Morrone: Relationships, Kids, And Another Film?

Michele Morrone is the Italian Stallion who’s recently shot to fame after starring in Netflix‘s erotic film ‘365 Dni’ (days, in English).

Critics have expressed their reservations regarding the actual storyline of the very erotic drama- specifically the ending- but there’s been few who have denied that its protagonist is good to look at.

The Start Of A Big Career

So, we’ve established that he’s good on the eye, but what do we know about the man behind Massimo?

Michele Morrone’s acting career has previously been confined to his home turf of Italy, but has now gained international recognition for 365 Dni.

He’s Single

The most popular question: is he single?

To a lot of people’s surprise- he actually is! The Italian actor has actually been previously married to Rouba Saadeh, a Lebanese fashion designer.

But the pair split back in 2018 after a four year marriage, landing Morrone in a dark place, as he shared in an Instagram post:

“A year and a half ago I was about to leave everything, I didn’t want to act anymore. I was in a severe state of depression after divorcing my wife.”

He gave his thanks to the success of the film for helping him bounce back; our pleasure!

He’s A Dad

Michele had two boys with his ex-wife Rouba Saadeh: Marcudo Morrone and Brado Morrone.

Michele Morrone: He’s Not Dating His Co-Star

Perhaps the second most popular question: are Massimo and Laura together in real life?

The answer is no. They might have got very close during filming, but co-star Anna Maria Sieklucka is actually taken.

Polish actress, Anna, recently posted a snap with her man, captioned:

“Jedno. Prywatne. I więcej nie będzie. Peace and love.”

Translating to “One. Private. And there will be no more. Peace and love.” Well, that sets that straight.

He Used To Be A Gardener

Before making it as an actor, Michele took his hand to something rather less romantic. He worked as a gardener in his hometown, Melegnano, Italy, for some extra cash.

Michele Morrone: He Can Sing

As well as being an actor, and looking like he does, he can also sing. Is there anything this man can’t do?

Some of the musician’s songs- including, Hard For Me, Watch Me Fall and Fall In Love, from his album Dark Room- actually feature on the film’s soundtrack.

He Rides Horses

This one might be quite surprising, but not only is he an Italian Stallion- he also rides them. So much so, he even owns his own horse!

He’s An Artist

Of course he is; just another thing to add to the CV. You can have a look at his paintings on his Instagram.

He Was Reluctant To Take The Part Of Massimo In 365

It might have turned out to be the part that changed his life, but he was actually reluctant to take it in the first place.

He very nearly pulled out of the role, reluctant of the intense sex scenes:

“I decided to get involved in this film, although of course I had to rethink this decision. It was an opportunity for me to go beyond Italy, start an international career. And as you can see, it paid off.”

365 Dni star Michele Morrone might now forever be known as the Italian Mr. Grey from 50 Shades Of Grey, but it’s a small price to pay for the opportunity the film have him. And there’s also rumours that a sequel is on the cards!

He’s Bilingual

He’s of course fluent in his native Italian, but also gives English a good shot- most of his songs are actually in English.
