Michele Morrone always hoped to become a working actor, but he never expected literal overnight success.
But in 2020, when his first major movie 365 Dayswas released on Netflix, Morrone’s life changed.
“It was a major turning point in my life,” the Italian star, 31, tells PEOPLE. “Before the movie came out I had 4,000 followers on Instagram. And the night after the movie was released on the platform, I woke up and had 2.6 million followers.”
Now following the success of the first two hit films, with a third installment expected in near future, Morrone is hoping to continue acting in a variety of genres and formats, along with his passion for music (he released a full album in 2020) and fashion (he’s modeled for Guess, Dolce & Gabbana, and many others).
