Maximo Morrone Was Born in Mendoza

Born in Mendoza in 1960, Maximo is of Italian, Romanian, and Spanish descent. He grew up in Argentina before moving to Los Angeles, USA, for his wife, Lucila Sola, to pursue an acting career in Hollywood.

With a fit body and six-foot-two height, it wasn't surprising that a model representative found potential in him while strolling the California coast. Maximo landed a contract and modeled for the likes of Dolce & Gabanna and Valentino.

As he gained more popularity amongst the younger crowd, Maximo became less active on social media platforms. He hasn't posted on his Facebook page for some time and keeps his Instagram profile private.

Maximo Morrone Was a Successful Model

Maximo became a supermodel in the '90s, collaborating with Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell in Valentino and Versace ads. His income funded his family's lifestyle, while his wife couldn't find an acting gig.

"I saw them struggle their whole lives to be financially independent actors, and seeing them go through that, I was kind of turned off to it," he recalled. Little did he know that he would end up like them one day.

Maximo was a familiar face on commercials and catalogs of Diesel, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, and Valentino.

After years in front of the camera, he tried his hand behind it as a photographer and took portraits, now featured on his website. He focuses on this craft nowadays.

In 1994, Maximo started acting and built his career in film. He appeared in one episode of "CSI: Miami," where he played Paul Tomassi, and 16 episodes of "Los Luchadores," where he played Lobo Fuerte, from 2000 to 2001. However, his last role was in 2008.
