The 365 Days franchise’s leading man had to set the record straight in June of 2021 after a poolside pic of he and his male co-star Simone Susinna getting really close to each other went viral, resulting in people questioning Morrone’s sexuality and thinking he publicly came out.
“I woke up with my team calling me saying, ‘There’s a lot of articles saying that you came out,’ because of the picture I took with Simone,” Morrone wrote in an Instagram Story post at the time, clearing the air. “He became a very good friend of mine, we’re like brothers. We’re shooting a movie together. It was just a picture. Nothing more.”
Speaking on why he captioned the viral poolside pic with the phrase “I’m a liar,” he continued: “An actor is a kind of liar. That’s why I wrote that. Acting…as someone who is not. I didn’t come out. So, I’m so sorry for the confusion. As I said, I’m a big supporter of the LGBT community.”
