But the model has now sent shockwaves across Italy's modelling world by announcing that he is all set to quit modelling to become a priest.

The model took to Instagram to announce that he has joined a seminary near Florence, and said: "At 21 years old, my father took the decision to marry my mother because she was pregnant and my mum, at 21, became a mother. I, at 21 years old, find myself taking the path to becoming, God willing, a priest."

He explained his decision to become a priest in the post. He added, "In these past years, I've 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've taken with me from childhood but various fears stopped me from studying it at a deeper level."

"At the end of the year it was natural for me to ask the bishop to enter the preparatory course, the year that precedes life in the seminary. And here I am, studying theology and serving two parishes in the Florentine diocese."
TNN
He has reportedly said, "Of course, I won't abandon everything, because they make me who I am. But I will live them in a different context."
