  • Croatian actor Antonio Agostini has reportedly left acting to pursue a career in hospitality on the island of Hvar.
  • Agostini previously starred in the RTL series "Divlje pฤele" but left after reports of his dismissal.
  • He stated that his departure from acting was a personal decision due to the difficulty of playing certain roles.

Croatian actor Antonio Agostini, known for his role in the RTL series "Divlje pฤele," appears to have transitioned from acting to a career in hospitality on the island of Hvar. After a period of absence from the public eye following his departure from the acting profession, Agostini has recently resurfaced with updates from Hvar.

Agostini's previous role as Marko Vukas in "Divlje pฤele" was cut short amid reports of his dismissal from the set, with actor Marin Kliลกmaniฤ‡ taking over the character. Following these reports, Agostini addressed the situation on social media, posting a video to clarify his departure.

In his video, Agostini stated that he had "the best year of my life" and filmed nearly three seasons of something, expressing that the reasons for leaving the series were not due to conflicts. "Nobody did anything to me, nor did anyone hurt me. Nor did I quit out of envy, malice, or anything else. I am exclusively playing the best hand I decided to play," he asserted. He described the "mutual termination of the contract" as a "great honor" and guaranteed that this was his version of the story.

He then announced his decision to "finish with acting." Agostini explained his reasoning: "I am done with acting, people. And I am glad that this was my last. It's a little difficult for me to play a guy who punches a woman and drinks. It has become a little too difficult. That is my reason."

Recent photographs and videos shared on Agostini's reactivated Instagram profile show him in a hospitality setting. He is seen among tables, in a professional kitchen, and posing with a large fish, suggesting he is spending the season working in tourism. Information circulating on social media platforms like Reddit indicates he is working as a waiter in Hvar.

A evo na kraju priฤe i mene.
