Biography

[edit]

Adriano Giannini was born in Rome on 10 May 1971, to actors Giancarlo Giannini and Livia Giampalmo. He began his career when he was 18 years old.[2] His earliest notable role was alongside Madonna in the widely panned 2002 film Swept Away, a remake of the 1974 Italian film of the same name. Giannini played the same role that his father played in the original, also re-dubbing his own character's lines for the Italian and Spanish edition.[3]

Giannini's international roles include the voice of Rat in the 2003 animated film Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas and Giancarlo Rossi in the 2012 ABC television series Missing, starring Ashley Judd and Sean Bean. In 2024 he played Tommaso, Rocco Siffredi's half-brother, in the Netflix series Supersex.

As a voice dubber, Giannini dubbed the voice of Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker in the Italian release of The Dark Knight. He also dubbed Joaquin Phoenix's incarnation of the character in Joker and Joker: Folie à Deux.[4] He has provided the Italian voices of Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Raz Degan, Benicio del Toro, Steven Strait, Ryan Reynolds and Laz Alonso in some of their work.[5] In his animated roles, he dubbed Metro Man in Megamind and Mandrake in Epic.

Personal life

[edit]

In 2019, Giannini married Trussardi creative director Gaia Trussardi after two years of dating.[6] Giannini had an older brother, Lorenzo, who died from an aneurysm at the age of 21. He also has two younger half-brothers from his father's marriage to actress Eurilla del Bono.
