Biography Adriano Giannini was born in Rome on 10 May 1971, to actors Giancarlo Giannini and Livia Giampalmo. He began his career when he was 18 years old. His earliest notable role was alongside Madonna in the widely panned 2002 film Swept Away, a remake of the 1974 Italian film of the same name. Giannini played the same role that his father played in the original, also re-dubbing his own character's lines for the Italian and Spanish edition.;
Giannini's international roles include the voice of Rat in the 2003 animated film Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas and Giancarlo Rossi in the 2012 ABC television series Missing, starring Ashley Judd and Sean Bean. In 2020, Giannini served as the narrator of the true-crime docuseries Italica Noir, a four-episode anthology released on Infinity+. In 2024, he starred in two Netflix productions, playing Tommaso, Rocco Siffredi's half-brother, in the series Supersex and Ugo Jacomelli in the film Lonely Planet.
Giannini dubbed the voice of Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker in the Italian release of The Dark Knight, and also Joaquin Phoenix's incarnation of the character in Joker and Joker: Folie à Deux, having previously dubbed his performances in The Master and Mary Magdalene. He has provided the Italian voices of Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, Raz Degan, Ryan Reynolds, and other actors in some of their work, and the animated characters Metro Man in Megamind and Mandrake in Epic.
Personal life In 2019, Giannini married Trussardi creative director Gaia Trussardi after two years of dating. Giannini had an older brother, Lorenzo, who died from an aneurysm at the age of 21. He also has two younger half-brothers from his father's marriage to actress Eurilla del Bono.
