Gianmatteo Fernan Guidicelli (Tagalog pronunciation: [ɡwɪdɪtˈtʃeli], born March 26, 1990),[1] better known as Matteo Guidicelli, is a Filipino-Italian actor, model, singer and former kart racer.

Early life and career

Matteo Guidicelli was born in Cebu City. He is one of three children of Gianluca Guidicelli, an Italian, and Glenna Fernan, a Filipino.[2] His maternal grandfather is the late Cebu Provincial Prosecutor Vicente “Inting” Fernan, cousin of then Senator and Chief Justice Marcelo Fernan making him Guidicelli's grand uncle.[3]

Guidicelli initially became known through his racing career, having started at an early age of 11.[2] He has won numerous awards including being a three-time winner of the Karter of the Year award.

Guidicelli took an interest in acting after taking workshops at the New York Academy. As soon as he came back to the Philippines, he took theatre courses at Brent International School and began to participate in plays. He also attended Columbia College in Chicago for two years to pursue a B.A. in performing arts in the field of musical theater.[2]

Acting

Guidicelli's acting career started when he joined the fourth season of the teenage comedy sitcom Go Kada Go in 2007, becoming a member of ABS-CBN's Star Magic. The next year, he played supporting roles in the action fantasy show Kung Fu Kids and in the soap opera Ligaw na Bulaklak. He used to be a regular on SOP Fully Charged along with a guest role in All My Life as part of his transfer to GMA Network. In 2010, he was given the lead role in the ABS-CBN primetime fantasy television series Agua Bendita, his Kapamilya comeback project.

In 2011, Guidicelli became one of the hosts of the noon-time variety game show Happy Yipee Yehey!, and was cast to play Trevor Wu, one of Kim Chiu's leading men in My Binondo Girl,[4] a TV show shot in Manila and Hong Kong, and released internationally. 2011 also marked the year Guidicelli was cast in his first film, Catch Me, I'm in Love.[5]

He landed his first lead role in 2012, starring as the lovestruck Carlo in the successful indie film, My Cactus Heart.

Apart from acting, Guidicelli also pursued a career in singing. In 2011, Star Records released Guidicelli's first single "Someone Like You" as an Internet download.[6] On January 17, 2016, he launched his first self-titled album Matteo Guidicelli under the same recording company.

He played a lead role in the romantic show Dolce Amore, which debuted on February 15, 2016.

After 15 years of being with Star Magic, Guidicelli signed a contract with Viva Artists Agency.[7]

Military

Guidicelli is a reservist in the Philippine Army as a 2nd Lieutenant of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. He has undergone rigorous training with the elite Philippine Scout ranger Regiment. The AFP confirmed that he was treated the same way as any other trainee.[8]
