This handsome actor made all the ladies drool in the 60s this is what he looks like today
His defining breakthrough arrived in 1966 with Django, a film that would permanently alter the trajectory of his career and the Western genre itself. As the coffin-dragging gunslinger moving through a brutal, mud-soaked landscape, Nero introduced a new kind of Western hero—silent, morally ambiguous, and shaped by trauma rather than bravado. The character’s visual iconography and emotional restraint resonated far beyond Italy, transforming Django into a global phenomenon and spawning countless unofficial sequels, adaptations, and homages across decades of cinema. Few characters in film history have achieved such enduring symbolic power with so little dialogue.
Rather than being confined by that success, Nero used it as a foundation for remarkable range. Over the course of his career, he has appeared in more than 200 film and television productions, moving fluidly between European cinema and Hollywood. He worked in political thrillers, historical epics, action films, romantic dramas, and art-house projects, often bringing gravitas to roles that might otherwise have been disposable. His collaborations spanned countries, languages, and cinematic traditions, making him a truly international actor long before globalized casting became the norm.
