In a surprising twist, a man once celebrated as Italy¡¯s ¡°Most Handsome Man¡± has made a startling choice to step away from modeling and commit his life to priesthood.
Edoardo Santini clinched the title for his striking features and charisma at the young age of 17 in 2019, during a pageant organised by the fashion group ABE. However, Santini has made the decision to transition from his promising career in the spotlight to embark on a spiritual journey focused on faith and service.
From a young age, Santini nurtured dreams of stardom, studying drama and dance with hopes of a flourishing career. However, on his 21st birthday, he shared a moving video chronicling his journey from a contented model to a contemplative figure kneeling at an altar.
This introspective video, posted on Instagram, marked his decision to renounce his modeling career in pursuit of his faith.?
Santini posted an emotional video on Instagram and wrote, ¡°I have decided to give up modelling work, acting, and dance, but I won¡¯t abandon all my passions. I will just live them differently, offering them up to God.¡±
He added, per Daily Mail, ¡°In these past years I have been able to meet people who have shown me what it means to be church. They have given me the strength to investigate this question that I have carried with me from childhood, but various fears stopped me from exploring it at a deeper level. However, last year, I took the first step. I went to live with two priests, and it was the best experience of my life.¡±
