Davide Sanclimenti, the 29-year-old former Love Island winner, is making a bold move into Hollywood acting. After his split from Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu earlier this year, Sanclimenti relocated to Los Angeles, where he has enrolled at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. The institute counts Lady Gaga, Dustin Hoffman, Scarlett Johansson, and Chris Evans among its alumni.
Sanclimenti has already auditioned for a major film role. According to a source, he was approached by Hollywood producers after completing his training and asked to audition for an upcoming feature film set for 2025. The source described him as 'excited by the opportunity' and fully committed to securing the role.
While focusing on acting, Sanclimenti has not ruled out future reality TV appearances. He remains grateful to ITV for launching his career on Love Island, which he won in 2022 alongside Cülcüloğlu. He has been sharing his LA life on Instagram, including photos of himself working on scripts and spending time with his mother, who visited him in the US for the first time.
Meanwhile, his ex-partner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has returned to her reality TV roots. She became the first contestant to sign up for Love Island: All Stars, following a difficult stint on Celebrity Big Brother where she faced backlash and was labelled 'fake' by housemates. A TV source confirmed that Cülcüloğlu's deal is 'agreed in principle,' with producers eager to see her return to the villa.
