Living in a house right next to the coastline, he grew to love the sea and the ocean, especially water sports like swimming, surfing, etc.
He was not an obedient child; he was even expelled from school because he missed a lesson in order to spend some time at the seaside.
It turned out that he quite enjoyed those years because, despite taking a break from the fashion industry for a while, he continued to model and to be the face of famous brands long after.
One day he received a call from the Italian director Lamberto Bava, who gave him an important role in his Fantaghirò series, playing the wicked wizard Tarabas, alongside the Italian actress Alessandra Martines.
He continued to work as a model and pitchman for companies such as Karl Lagerfeld and Rayban.
