Emerging from the shadows of Italian hunks Vittorio Gassman, Rossano Brazzi and Franco Nero is Luca Marinelli. Like the Mediterranean men who came before him, Luca’s fit physique can make women weak in the knees and guys strong in the schlong! The ravishing Roman inherited a love of performing from his actor/voice artist father and actress/voice artist aunt. No wonder, he has a talented tongue! After graduating from the Silvio D’Amico National Academy of Dramatic Art, Luca made his movie debut in The Solitude of Prime Numbers (2010). No doubt, being a Perfect Ten qualifies him as a prime figure! Marinelli was named a Shooting Star at the Berlin International Film Festival for his performance in the rom-com Every Blessed Day (2012). It was a blessed day when Luca exposed his full frontal nudity in The Great Beauty (2013). That explains why the movie won an Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA for Best Foreign Language Film! Speaking of accolades, the esteemed eyeful received the Pasinetti Award for Best Actor at the Venice International Film Festival for Claudio Caligari’s final film Don’t Be Bad (2015). Next came Nastro d’Argento and David di Donatello Awards for Best Supporting Actor thanks to the superhero flick They Call Me Jeeg (2015). Luca also won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor for his portrayal of the titular character Martin Eden (2019). Of course, the topless hottie won both sexes over when he smooched Marwan Kenzari in The Old Guard (2020). Looks like Luca is the new guard!
