Wouldn’t you agree, there’s nothing sexier than a dashing Hollywood star in period costume? We certainly would, and so would fans of the devastatingly handsome actor and producer Enzo Zelocchi, who treated us all to irrefutable proof when he shared a dapper costumed selfie from the set of upcoming comedy film Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day.
Drawing us back into the era of a bodice-rippingly seductive Edwardian London, this exciting new feature is the brain-child of BAFTA-nominated director Tina Gharavi and writer-producer Justine Wadell, who reimagined Woolf’s witty and rebellious novel for the big screen.
Zelocchi recently leveraged his unstoppable social media stardom to introduce followers to this period drama with a twist. The pulse-racing project has rallied an international all-star cast including American actors Zelocchi and Haley Bennett, Austrian talent Elyas M’Barek, and British mainstays Jack Whitehall, Lily Allen, Jennifer Saunders, and Timothy Spall.
Enzo Zelocchi Turns Up the Heat in Period Drama Night & Day
For fans, it’s a thrill to see Zelocchi step into a historical role following an award-winning career that has centered on alluringly complex contemporary characters. By engaging in a bit of on-screen time travel, he carries the torch for other actors who cemented their sex symbol status with similar career turns, such as Matthew McFadyen in Pride & Prejudice, Tom Hardy in Marie Antoinette, and Regé-Jean Page in Bridgeton.
Just like Page, Zelocchi has been tipped many times as a possible contender for the role of James Bond following the departure of Daniel Craig from the Brocolli Family franchise. While that particular recasting still remains a mystery, clearly these stars have what it takes to steal our hearts via a camera lens, whether appearing as magnetic modern men or enticingly debonair period gentlemen.
Zelocchi’s Instagram audience will be waiting on tenterhooks for more steamy selfies or insider insights into the production of Night & Day. In this decidedly visual online realm, the actor’s refined features and muscular physique have helped swell his fanbase to almost 30 million followers, while the actor’s viral videos have achieved a watch count in the hundreds of millions, drawing the attention of publications such as Variety Magazine.

Enzo Zelocchi is Executive Producer for Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day
Alongside showcasing his acting talent in the role of Hubert Basnet for Night & Day, Zelocchi is also engaged behind the scenes supporting Gharavi and Wadell as an executive producer. This follows his recent executive producer position for another 20th-century-set production, Freud’s Last Session starring Academy Award-winner Sir Anthony Hopkins and Primetime Emmy Award-nominee Matthew Goode.
As Zelocchi continues to innovate and enchant in the world of moviemaking, it seems perfect that we catch a glimpse of the star in action from location in Newcastle, England. This quaint city was a hub for the development of bold new technologies such as electricity and locomotion. For audiences, the actor is certainly sending sparks flying and revving up engines, so jump aboard and keep up to speed with Enzo on Instagram!
