Michelangelo DiNapoli was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York being third generation American after his great-grandparents emigrated to the United States from Italy so long ago in hope for a better life. Being brought up by a single mom, life was though for the small Dinapoli family, but Michelangelo remembers it as a close and loving childhood.
Besides the fact his childhood was challenging in a financial way, Michelangelo Dinapoli also realized at young age that his interest went more into the direction of boys than girls, and the obvious issues that brought made his younger years even harder. Damaged by a low self-esteem, Michelangelo decided to take things in his own hands and focus on a physical career, such as modeling. Only to be told by many agencies that it would never work since he was either too short, not masculine enough or too ethnic. That was during the 1990’s and little did people know at that time. Michelangelo never gave up and is today’s living proof that even with those ‘shortcomings’, you can still be a very successful and wanted model.
Michelangelo Dinapoli stands 5’7” tall (1,70 meters), weights 142lbs (64kg) with a 37” (93cm) chest and 30” (76cm) waist. It is true that this doesn’ help if you have your mind set upon a career in runway modeling, but as underwear, commercial and artistic model, these numbers are more than acceptable. Hence that many renowned photographers are lining up to work with the sexy Italian-American from New York City. But the many rejections Michelangelo got in the beginning of his career influenced his character and determination. In fact, it made him a better man, more confident and comfortable with who he is. And that strength might very well bring him to the next step in his career. Acting. Something Michelangelo would love to pursue. With his determination and his professionalism, both in his modeling work and in keeping himself physical in shape, Michelangelo is a lightning example for the many others who want to follow in his footsteps but who are facing the same rejections Michelangelo did. His hard work and dedication certainly have paid off.
Now you probably wonder why we started this article with the Superman introduction. Let me draw a few parallels. Like Clark Kent, Michelangelo came from far. Well relatively speaking that is of course, because it applies more to his great-grandparents, but we took some artistic freedom here. Like Clark Kent Michelangelo was raised in a simple family surrounding, with a working-class background but with strong morals and values. And like Clark Kent, Michelangelo hides a different personality hidden under his clothes, one that reveals himself when he strips down. And finally, like Clark Kent Michelangelo carries the Superman sign close to his heart. Doesn’t that proof it all? –BM-

I'm a huge fan of his. This is the type of guy you want to meet and marry - a natural and quite hot sex appeal.
