Additionally, he enhanced his education by studying dance and singing.

Earlier in his career, he featured in numerous films and TV series, including *Il ragazzo invisibile 2* by Academy Award winner Gabriele Salvatores, *Metti una notte* with Amanda Lear, and *All the Money in the World* directed by Ridley Scott.
