Pietro Antonelli Benício, the 19-year-old son of Brazilian actress Giovanna Antonelli and actor Murilo Benício, is making a name for himself beyond his famous lineage. The young model recently took to Instagram to share a captivating selfie, showcasing his sculpted physique in a shirtless pose. His toned abs and defined muscles were on full display, drawing attention and admiration from his followers.
In a recent interview with Extra, Pietro opened up about his aspirations beyond the modeling world. He revealed his passion for music and his desire to pursue a career as a singer. He shared that while he enjoys modeling and finds it a perfect fit for his active lifestyle, his true calling lies in music.
“I’ve been taking photos since I was little and I enjoy it. I’m very interested in fashion and all that. But the main reason I work in this area is because it fits very well with my healthy and active lifestyle,” he explained. “My profession is music; I’ve been working with it since my adolescence. I sing, produce, write, I do everything… Acting was never a desire of mine, but I don’t rule it out. I wouldn’t pursue a career solely as an actor, but if one day there’s a good opportunity, I would do it in parallel with music, like I do with fashion, for example.”
Pietro, who has adopted the stage name Nelli, has a clear vision for his future. He even pursued a degree in architecture before ultimately dedicating himself to his musical pursuits. His parents have been incredibly supportive of his decision, providing encouragement and support rather than specific professional advice. “They don’t give me much advice about the profession. I receive more encouragement and support from them, which is what I need to chart the course.”
