From alpha male to frail grandfather: What ‘Octopus’ TV series star Michele Placido looks like today – you’ll be amazed!

There was no more desirable man in the late USSR than Michele Placido – the sultry Italian stole the hearts of citizens of all ages from his first appearance on blue screens in 1986. Soviet Husbands even cut their hair and dressed “like Commissar Cattani” to please their wives even more!

Michele Placido was born on May 19, 1946 in Puglia, Italy. He started acting at the age of 20, but his work in the first four “classic” seasons of “Octopus” brought him real fame. Corrado Cattani remained Placido’s main role forever, although he had the opportunity to play many different characters on screen. He even played a Russian officer in our compatriot Vladimir Bortko’s film “The Afghan Break”.

The charismatic Placido, of course, was not only popular among Soviet women – his dark charm disarmed any beauty. The actor has five children and three marriages behind him.

By the way, Michele’s third and last wife, actress Federica Luna Vincenti Placido, is 37 years younger than him!

Of course, the years that followed changed the “Commissioner Cattani”. He went completely gray quite early, but even mature he retained his charm and looked like a real bon vivant, not leaving the pages of Italian gossip.

In recent years, Placido has not acted in films, but continues to work in the film industry. He devoted himself to directing and recently made his first public appearance after a long break, having arrived in Romania for the Buzău Film Festival. Michele brought her own film about the consequences of the pandemic and how the measures taken by the authorities to protect against it have changed our lives.

Incredibly beautiful!

Nothing in particular

Fans were shocked at how much the famous actor has changed. He noticeably lost weight and, it seems, even became shorter (Michele Placido’s height is 185 cm). Her gray hair has thinned a lot and the Italian movie star moves without the old confidence – check out this video. Age spares no one…

But “Commissioner Cattani” doesn’t even think of stopping: he has many ambitious creative projects. Recently, the premiere of the historical costume drama The Shadow of Caravaggio, directed by him, with Isabelle Huppert and Louis Garrel, took place.

And the movie’s supernova was Placido’s second son, Marco Brenno. The guy is 21 years old, and, you see, he is just a copy of his famous father in his youth!
