Italian actor Michele Morrone was recently roasted online after content creator Daniella Kalita spotted a cringey piece of artwork in his home.
The 365 Days sensation, 35, regularly posts on TikTok, peeling back the curtain on his creative pursuits including painting and making music.
Among his videos are several of him passionately playing the piano, one of which Kalita playfully criticized when she eyed a self-portrait of Morrone holding his severed head in a painting hung on his wall.
She shared an Instagram reel, calling him a 'Real life Zoolander' as she referenced Ben Stiller's 2001 satirical comedy in which he plays a mindless model.
'Nothing screams humble like a self-portrait of you holding your own severed head,' she scoffed in the clip.
One fan agreed in the comments, '“Real life Zoolander” is the most accurate description of him I've ever read.'

Kalita playfully criticized Morrone for a self-portrait depicting him holding his severed head
Morrone rose to international fame when he starred in Netflix's steamy 365 Days franchise in 2020.
He appeared as Mafia boss Massimo Torricelli alongside co-star Anna-Maria Sieklucka, who played Laura Biel.
Morrone has since gone on to appear in The Housemaid with Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, as well as Another Simple Favor with Blake Lively.
The hunk has also been romantically linked to A-listers including Megan Fox and Khloe Kardashian, but sassy social media pundits proclaim he only has eyes for himself.
Another top commenter said of the now-viral video showing the self-portrait:'He is his own biggest fan...I bet he has himself as a screensaver.'
Someone else simply wrote, 'He annoys me,' adding a crying laughing emoji.
'Don't hate me, but he is the male Sydney Sweeney,' one social media user wrote, collecting more than 9,000 likes for the comparison.
'He is the definition of cringe,' yet another critic weighed in.

'He paints, so I think he painted it himself, which [makes it] more cringe [than it] already is,' said another Instagram user.
Others came to Morrone's defense, with one person saying, 'Girl, I get it but if I had his face I would have done the same.'
Morrone hit headlines when the first 365 Days film came out on 2020.
The flick was slammed by campaigners who argued it glorified rape and trafficking as the storyline followed Massimo kidnapping Laura while she was on holiday in Sicily and giving her a year to fall in love with him while she is held hostage.
The films are based on a book trilogy by Polish author Blanka Lipinska.
