Career

Dino Morea began his professional journey as a model, guided by fashion choreographer Prasad Bidapa. In 1995, he won the Gladrags Manhunt Contest and placed second at the Manhunt International competition in Singapore. His modeling success, including winning the Gladrags Supermodel Contest in 1999, led to his acting debut in the TV series Captain Vyom (1998) as Sonic.

His film debut, Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi (1999) opposite Rinke Khanna, was a commercial disappointment, but his role in the Tamil film Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000) earned critical praise. His breakthrough came with Raaz (2002), a romantic horror film that became the second-highest-grossing film of the year, earning him a Zee Cine Award for Dynamic Duo alongside Bipasha Basu.

Throughout the 2000s, Morea starred in films like Gunaah (2002), Aksar (2006), and Holiday (2006), though many faced commercial setbacks. His versatility was evident in diverse roles, from thrillers like Bhram (2008) to the anthology Dus Kahaniyaan (2007).

He ventured into production with Jism 2 (2012), a commercial success featuring Sunny Leone, and made cameo appearances in films like Happy New Year (2014). After a hiatus from lead roles, Morea transitioned to digital platforms in the 2020s, earning acclaim for his performances in web series such as Mentalhood (2020), Hostages (2020), and The Empire (2021), the latter earning him an Indian Television Academy Award.

Morea’s recent projects include antagonistic roles in Agent and Bandra (2023) and a starring role in Housefull 5 (2025), which became his most commercially successful film, ranking as the year’s second-highest-grosser.

He continues to act in streaming series like The Royals and Rana Naidu (2025). Beyond acting, he owns a coffee shop, Crepe Station, and fitness centers in Mumbai, and is actively involved in philanthropy through the All Stars Football Club and Pet Fed India. His enduring appeal lies in his ability to adapt across mediums while maintaining a strong presence in fashion and fitness.
