Grande Fratello 2011 winner Andrea Hirai Cocco, pictured, was recently in Malta to study English at the EC language school, St Julian’s.

Cocco, who shot to fame as an actor after his reality TV debut, has been cast in various roles and recently finished shooting a film, Io è Morto. Directed by Alberto de Venezia and co-starring Marina Suma, the film will be released late next year.

Cocco also co-presents a cooking show on Arturo, and acts in web-series Forse sono io 2, with Vincenzo Alfieri and Gianmarco Tognazzi.

He grew up in Rome before setting off to work as a model in Europe and Asia. He has always recognised the importance of English in his life and career: “As a model and actor hoping for more international recognition, I want to improve my English because it’s so beneficial when you’re working in the entertainment industry.”

EC is a Maltese-owned chain of English language centres operating in 17 cities worldwide. “It’s great that EC Malta offers intensive English courses and the chance to practise the language in an English-speaking environment. Malta is also a beautiful island, only an hour away from home,” Cocco said.

Cocco, who is following one-to-one English classes, will also be taking part in the school’s programme of activities and events with other language students from around the world.
