Early life

Michele Morrone was born in Bitonto, Italy, on Oct. 3, 1990. As he is the only son and the youngest child in the family, he grew up. He’s got three sisters older than him. Morrone’s father was a construction worker, while Angela, a seamstress, was Morrone’s mother. To find better jobs, the family moved to Melegnano, near Milan, when they were relatively young.

In 2002, when Morrone was 12, Natale died. Morrone also spent part of his childhood in the south of Italy, in Apulia. After watching a Harry Potter film at the age of 11, Morrone had resolved to become an actor. He participated in a middle school after-school acting program. Due to bad behavior, Morrone failed his first year at secondary school. Then, at the Teatro Fraschini di Pavia, a theater in Pavia, he attended professional acting classes.

Career (as an actor and singer)

As a theatre artist, Michele began his acting career. Michele Morrone made his stage debut at the Theatro Fraschini of Pavia in 2010 with Noah’s Cat (2010), in which he was the leading performer. He made his TV debut in the ‘Come un Delfino 2’ Italian web series and continued to play in the TV series Second Chance (2013), God Help Us 3 (2014), Privacy Ancora prof 6 (2015), Sirene (2017), Medici (2019).

• As a singer

His first album was released as titled Dark Room in 2020; in the film 365 Days, some of the songs from the album, “It’s Hard For Me,” “Feel It,” and “Watch Me” were featured.

Personal life

A year before getting married in 2014, Michele Morrone and his ex-wife, Rouba Saadeh, reportedly dated. A designer, Rouba is the founder of Le Paridis des Fous.

Unfortunately, after four years of marriage, Michele and Rouba divorced. Michele was devastated by the divorce, and this incident sent him into depression. He quit acting, and he became a gardener with 1000 inhabitants in a remote village.

Net worth

Michele Morrone is a rising star of the Hollywood scene, but his earliest fans already knew him. He’s quite a Renaissance guy with a great talent for acting, singing, and modeling, so it’s no wonder Michele has an approximate net worth of $4.5 million.

He has made most of his cash through his acting career, mostly in Italian and Polish films. Nevertheless, 365 Days is the culmination of Michele’s career. Netflix signed a three-year deal with the 29-year-old actor after the astounding popularity gained from the film, to complete two more films in the 365 Days trilogy.

This recognition has led to Michele signing a six-figure contract with American designer Paul Marciano and his fashion company “Guess” (approximately $500,000). For a guy who used to make $600 a week as a gardener, all of these recent achievements are somewhat unbelievable.

Michele on social media

It’s all about social media platforms these days. Somehow it has been like a mandatory process to post images and update whereabouts on the internet. We’re talking about Michele Morrone’s virtual fandom in the same way here.

He has not only amassed 11.7 million followers on Instagram but also a huge Facebook fan base. Not to forget, on YouTube, Michele is significant as well. This handsome 29-year-old is so versatile that there is nothing that he can’t do. He can sing, dance, act, and many more. Besides, Morrone uploaded a few music videos to his self-titled YouTube to showcase his talent.

Facts you did not know about him.
