Celebrity TikToker and fast-rising actor Marco Donatelli had a dream that he would become great. Over the years, the proactive 22-year-old Donatelli has steadily built a career in entertainment and achieved a level of success that has continued to astound many; including his own family.

Marco has undertaken various projects and delved deeper into the creative sector, which he’s always been interested in since childhood. 

“I've always been in plays when I was younger,” he says. “My mom always said I had a face people wanted to see.” 

Marco Donatelli credits his mom as a significant source of influence who always inspired him to strive and succeed.   

“My heart comes from my mother; my dedication, my caring about other people, my attitude, it all comes from my mother. She was my best friend,” he reflects. “She showed me what life could do for you if you're nice to people and have a good heart.” 

Speaking further, Marco credits his mother for being the true inspiration behind everything he’s been able to do and achieve so far. 

In the same vein, another source of inspiration that drove Marco Donatelli to push for higher grounds in the creative industry is his focused association. As they say, no man is an island, and mentors are always required to motivate people to succeed. 

Marco says well-known actors like Dwayne Johnson and Leonardo DiCaprio have also influenced him professionally. Vin Diesel is another significant person who Marco is inspired by due to his outstanding performance in the Fast and Furious series.

Donatelli, a savvy content creator with thousands of followers, says his successful foray into the world of social media began in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic when he decided to make a ‘stupid video' with his father and post it on TikTok, never expecting that one action would be the catalyst for bigger things to come his way.

“We were in Wal-Mart during COVID,” Marco Donatelli explains. Then they just started recording people wearing masks. The joke lay in Marco, and his father were the only ones wearing the wrong type of masks – scuba diving masks – at the shop. They posted the mask video they made on TikTok, and it received over 10 million views.

After that first video, they quickly made more videos, gaining impressive traction. Today, Marco has over a hundred thousand followers on TikTok, and he keeps interacting and networking with other influencers in the industry to expand his sphere. 

Aside from his robust career as a content creator, Marco Dontelli is also involved in other successful ventures. He’s started his own talent management PR Company – MD Management, and has built a network of photographers for his photo shoots. As he looks towards starting a career in acting, he’s also working with multiple acting coaches. 

Marco’s life is taking off quickly. Suffice it to say that your dreams can come true if you believe. And, as they say, the rest is history in the case of Marco Donatelli.
