Italy’s “Most Handsome Man” Quits Limelight to Become Catholic Priest

Edoardo Santini, who recently became famous as Italy’s most handsome man, has decided to quit his flourishing modelling career to embrace the priesthood.

The 21-year-old, nurtured dreams of stardom from a young age, developed skills in drama and dance, and became a successful model. But now he decided to leave everything to become a catholic priest.

In an Instagram message, Santini said, “I’ve decided to give up modelling work, acting, and dance, but I won’t abandon all my passions; I’ll just live them differently, offering them up to God.” The video alternated between images of him in modelling poses and kneeling at an altar.
