'Feels good to be a hero'

Dino Morea is a charmer all the way. A successful model, he may not have made a great impact in Bollywood -- yet. But one thing is for sure: we haven't seen the last of him. The way he interacted with chatters just goes to prove that Dino has immense faith in himself. Read on to find out more.

Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:35 IST)
Hi, I'm here to chat!


Toilet Trained (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:39 IST)
Dino...what have you done educationwise?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:39 IST)
Toilet Trained: I'm a BCom graduate.


Donna (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:35 IST)
Why did you turn to acting? What made you enter the big bad world of Bollywood? Why not Hollywood?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:39 IST)
Donna: Well, Bollywood was the opportunity I got immediately, so that's how. I start Hollywood soon.


Puppy (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:36 IST)
Hi Dino...this is your puppy.


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:40 IST)
Hi PUP!!!:-)


Shikha (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:39 IST)
Do u like watching tennis?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:41 IST)
Shikha: Yeah, I love watching tennis.


San (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:39 IST)
How does it feel to be a hero?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:42 IST)
San: Feels good to be a hero, and I'm definitely gonna do Bangalore proud.


Manisha (Wed Jun 30 1999 5:22 IST)
Hi Dino it feels SOOO GREAT to be able to chat with you. I loooved you in Pyaar Mein KK, but I didn't like the film much, there wasn't any story...what's your honest opinion about the film?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:43 IST)
Manisha: Well since it's my debut film I have to say it is a light film and I enjoyed doing it. Well, hopefully my next one will reach your expectations.


Nevs (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:41 IST)
Hey, I was your classmate -- this is Nevin Gonsalves here...remember?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:43 IST)
Nevs: Hi Nevin, I remember you!


Moles (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:44 IST)
Gee...thanx...I am very happy now...so tell me how many moles do you have on your, er...body?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:44 IST)
Hi Moles, why moles?:-) You gotta lot of freckles?


Priti (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:43 IST)
Dino: Can you say something about Italy? Where did you grow up? How did you come to India? Any links with Sonia Gandhi?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:45 IST)
Priti: No links with Sonia, not the Gandhi one anyway;-) Grew up most of my life in Bangalore, the rest in Italy and Bombay.


Puppy (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:43 IST)
I LOVE YOU


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:45 IST)
Puppy, I love you too!!! *hugs n kisess* See you for dinner.


Dinomania (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:37 IST)
Yes...how's the movie doing? I really liked it, for once a model that can act, although the dubbing was kinda baaad, but I LOVED the songs...and YOU!


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:46 IST)
Dinomania: I appreciate you being my greatest fan, take care, keep watching me! Lots of love!!!


Shikha (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:42 IST)
Who do u think will win? Do u like Steffi or Kournikova?


Ash (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:46 IST)
So, Dino tell me how did u enjoy acting?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:47 IST)
Shikha: I think Steffi will win. Ash: Yup, I definitely did, it was challenging and fun.


Anita (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:47 IST)
Dino: Did you feel embarrassed about doing the Calida ad?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:48 IST)
Anita: Not at all, it's an ad -- I guess someone's gotta advertise the underwear other people wear;-)*grin*


Dino Zoff (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:47 IST)
Hi, young man...Do you think an English-sounding name is a big advantage/disadvantage in Indian film industry. Only Macmohan and Bob Cristo -- both villains -- are familiar to moviegoers. :)


Moles (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:47 IST)
So...are you enjoying this chat too, Dino?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:50 IST)
Moles: Yeah, I'm really enjoying it. Dino Zoff: An English name in the Hindi industry is a disadvantage because the masses will not be able to identify with an English name. It will be easier with an Indian name but I guess Dino's a disease and it's spreading fast.


Sadhug (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:49 IST)
Hi Dino, I must confess I remember you only from the Calida undies ad...how did it feel doing that ad? Were you embarrassed or kicked about it? And did it help that Bipasha was (is?) your gf?


Ap (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:50 IST)
When will you join me for a drink at djinns?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:51 IST)
AP: Soon... Sadhug: Yes, her being my g/f makes it more comfortable to work with, like any other ad it was work for me and I guess no one's advertised underwears the way we did! :-) Hope you liked it.


Dino Zoff (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:51 IST)
What's the most striking and distinct difference between modelling and role portrayal (acting)??


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:53 IST)
Dino Zoff: Acting's very challenging, brainsteasing work, lasts longer, modelling is quick money.


Shikha (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:53 IST)
Do you know Kenneth from Bangalore?


Arora (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:53 IST)
Why did you get your voice dubbed in the movie, Pyar Mein...?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:53 IST)
Arora: I did not get my voice dubbed, that's me... Shikha: Which Kenneth?


Orangutan (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:51 IST)
Does absence make the heart go wander?


Annabelle (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:53 IST)
Do you remember your old school...this is Clarence.


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:57 IST)
Orangutan: Yes it does sometimes... Annabelle: Oh yeah, of course. Hi Annabelle:-)


Dinomania (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:57 IST)
Hey...whom are you going to be acting with? In your new movies???


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:58 IST)
Dinomania: Surprise surprise, you will see me with someone great!


Sadhug (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:59 IST)
As a half-Italian (which half, btw?), what is your opinion on the controversy about Sonia Gandhi's birthplace. And please don't give us that crap that you don't follow politics or read the papers :))


Dino Morea (Wed Jrea Sadhug: Father is Italian, well I feel if people can handle their affairs well, for instance, the Blacks were slaves initially in America and then they went on to be politicians, I guess if you have the ability to work things -- well, why not?


Milky (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:59 IST)
Sorrie... hey... can I have your email addy please!


Dino Zoff (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:1 IST)
Had God not given you good looks, what would you have become? Are you good at anything else? I mean, skilled at any profession or subject or vocation?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:2 IST)
Milky: You can write to me at dinomorea@rediffmail.com or dino09@hotmail.com Dino Zoff: Well I have to admit I'm pretty street smart. I am a graduate and I feel I've got the gift of the gab, so if it wasn't for my looks, I'd definitely be going places elsewhere.


Sagarika (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:1 IST)
Hi Dino. I am studying in the 5th standard and am a great fan of yours.Yet to see the film in which you have acted, but I understand you have done a great job. How old are you?


Pooja (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:2 IST)
Dino, you were great in Pyar Mein Kabhi Kabhi! I really liked you in the movie. Keep up the good work forever.


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:4 IST)
Thank you Pooja... Sagarika: I'm 24 and very very young!:-)


Little Lulu (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:4 IST)
Hi there Dino, when is your b'day? And by the way, in spite of having such a cool name why did you change it? By the way, I am your biggest fan on earth, Mars and Pluto...


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:5 IST)
Hi Little Lulu, birthday's 9th December, changed the name initially, not so sure right now. Your brother types very fast.


MadhuriDixit (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:55 IST)
Hi Dino, Wish You Good Luck For Your Film PMKK! And I have a question -- who is your fav actress?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:5 IST)
Madhuri Dixit: Sorry Madhuri, it's Kajol! But I like Madhuri too .


Namratha (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:4 IST)
Hey Dino, are you charged up enough to encounter all those wanting to chat with you? Don't you think you should change your name? It sounds like the short form for a dinosaur. Isn't it?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:6 IST)
Namratha: But don't you like it anyway ;-)


Princess (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:57 IST)
Hi... ignoring me? I asked, did the bad reviews for your film bother u? Where do yuu go from here?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:7 IST)
Princess: Didn't ruin my mood at all, I should have some confidence in myself. My future in filmdom looks good.


Sadhug (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:7 IST)
Who is your fave actor (and actress) in India and abroad, in the sense that you would want to be like him?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:10 IST)
Sadhug: India -- Amitabh and Kajol, abroad Robert De Niro and Catherine Zeta-Jones, she's hot!


Annabelle (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:2 IST)

Annabelle: Mrs Saxena and Mrs Thomas.


Karishma (Wed Jun 30 1999 5:24 IST)
Hi Dino, I wish you were in Hollywood, you would have finished off Leo!!! Do you have any plans to get engaged to Bipasha? And how does she handle all the female attention you get and vice versa?:-)


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:11 IST)
Karishma: I think she handles it well, no plans for the future yet.


Dinomania (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:7 IST)
9th December?? A while ago, you said 20th December? PLEASE clarify immediately, this is important....!!!


Shikha (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:9 IST)

Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:11 IST)

Dinomania: Well it was a tough scene *sniff sniff sniff* and it was really interesting ...


Priti (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:7 IST)
Dino: What do you think of marriage? Do you believe in this institution?


Moles (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:10 IST)
Dino...Dino...Dino...Come now, say bye...


Shikha (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:11 IST)

Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:14 IST)
Dinomania: I'm an absolute food freak. I love eating anything!


Sadhug (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:17 IST)

Dinomania (Wed Jun 30 1999 6:59 IST)
Hey, I noticed you were wearing Live-In jeans in the movie too, how come? Subtle subconscious advertising??


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:17 IST)
Dinomania: Well those were the jeans I was wearing when I went for the shoot and they liked it, so it stayed with me throughout the shoot.


Harish (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:16 IST)
Hi Dino! Why do you keep on denying Bipasha when you`ve been seen all over town with her?Don't you know that Hindi film audiences are now mature enough to accept you single or otherwise?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:18 IST)
Harish: Well Harish, it's left for people to think what they wanna think, but I don't wanna tell them anything.


Harish (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:18 IST)
Don't you think that you make a better model than an actor? Which is one of your favourite ads from the ones you've done?


Choco Fudge Girl (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:18 IST)
Dino...you don't even return a simple 'hi'?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:20 IST)
Harish: Well whatever I do I try to do best, be it acting or modelling. So far best modelling Live-In Jeans 'coz it was shot in Sydney. Choco Fudge Girl: Hiiiii Choco Girl, you are sweet like chocolate girl!:-)


DrJones (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:20 IST)

Dinomania (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:23 IST)
Hey, tell me something, does it give you a big kick to hear people, esp girls going ga ga over you...or do you handle it rationally, and realise that it's not forever...??


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:25 IST)
Dinomania: Well it does give you a kick, you feel good and since it's a once in a lifetime experience, one should enjoy it to the uttermost, but not take advantage of it.


Harish (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:24 IST)

AngelBaby (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:31 IST)

Bumwhacker (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:31 IST)
Dino, how does it feel to enter commercial Hindi cinema -- you know, running around trees and stuff... isn't it awkward?


Dino Morea (Wed Jun 30 1999 7:32 IST)
Bumwhacker: It isn't that much running around trees, in fact cinema's getting better. OK MADHURI, IT'S YOU *giving up* AngelBaby: I'm working hard.
