Dino Morea (born 9 December 1975) is an Indian actor and a former model who appears in Bollywood films.

Early life[edit]

Dino Morea was born in Bangalore, India, to an Italian father and an Indian mother.[2] His mother hails from Kalamassery in Kochi.[3] He is the second of three brothers-Nicolo Morea is his older brother and Santino Morea his younger brother.[2] When he was 7, his family moved to Bangalore, Karnataka from Italy.[4] He initially attended Army Public School, graduated from St. Joseph's College in Bangalore and also went to Clarence High School. He was first noticed when he was modelling for a fashion company and soon received his first film offer.[2]

Career[edit]

Morea made his acting debut in the TV series Captain Vyom in which he appeared as "Sonic". His movie debut was in Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi opposite Rinke Khanna. He had breakthrough roles in Rajiv Menon's Tamil film Kandukondain Kandukondain, the 2002 horror film Raaz and the thriller Gunaah.[4] His other prominent films include Baaz: A Bird in Danger, Sssshhh..., Rakht and Acid Factory.[5] He was a contestant on the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi in 2010.

In 1998, an ad for the undergarment manufacturer Calida, featuring him and Bipasha Basu, caused controversy because it featured him biting the former's underwear. It was eventually taken down.[6][7]
