Meet Nico Locco (Nicholas Timothy Fowler in real life), an Italian-Canadian international model and actor, who is ready to sweep you off your feet and make your hearts go aflutter.
Currently living in the Philippines, Nico debuted in the movie Sabado where he became the first foreigner to win the Best Actor in the Gawad Sining Awards and the first foreigner to win the award in a Philippine-based film competition!
Nico said that the reason he stayed here was that he felt at home, and he could connect with Filipinos.
“Na-in love ako sa culture at mga Filipino at nakakataba ng puso kasi they welcomed me with open arms," said Nico during a recent interview.
In 2019, Nico appeared in a non-speaking role in the South Korean film Byeonshin. He also played an American reporter in Rendezvous and an American soldier afflicted with leprosy in the movie Culion.
Nico moved to the Philippines for modeling and later made minor appearances in television including Tadhana, Wagas and Daddy's Gurl. Prior to his move, he was based in California with his family.
Nico also hosted the Miss Universe Philippines 2021's Final 30 Reveal, with Miss Universe Philippines 2020 4th runner-Up Billie Hakenson in 2021.
Now that he’s signed with Viva, Nico is now open to future collaborations and is set to continue his hosting and acting projects.
