Biography

Born in 1985, Ilenia Pastorelli is a young Roman actress who, as a teenager, combined her passion for dance, training at the National Dance Academy, and music, performing as a deejay in the most renowned clubs both in Italy and abroad. She reached fame in 2011, participating in the twelfth edition of Big Brother. Just during her stay in the house she was noticed by Nicola Guaglianone, scriptwriter of the film "Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot", directed by Gabriele Mainetti who chose her for the film’s female lead role. Thanks to the natural talent for acting combined with an eclectic and authentic personality, she managed to show to the press and public her ability to characterize the role of Alessia, up to winning the 2016 David di Donatello as best actress. Also in 2016, together with Raoul Bova she starred in the music video for the song of Biagio Antonacci "One day", a tribute song to Pino Daniele. In the summer of the same year, Marco Giusti called her to co-host with Fabrizio Biggio the summer edition of "Stracult". In 2017, she was selected by Carlo Verdone to play the role of Luna in "Benedetta Follia". She has just finished working on the films "Cosa fai a Capodanno!?", directed by Filippo Bologna, and "Non ci resta che il crimine" directed by Massimiliano Bruno.
