Man Candy Monday

Jozi boy Danilo Acquisto is so comfortable in front of the camera, you’d think it was his life’s mission to present. Not so! After completing a BA Law degree at the University of Cape Town, the handsome 24-year-old did a complete 360 and entered a presenter search, landing a coveted role on the SABC2 show  Hectic Nine-9. Now, with stints on Afternoon Express and Goodhope FM, the boy’s a bonafide presenting star! Here, he opens up about romantic goals and how he’s loving life.

Describe your best attribute.

I guess it’s my zeal for life. It’s that drive, passion, laughter and enthusiasm I try to bring to everything I do.

What instantly attracts you to a woman?

It has to be her confidence, an aura of certainty in her imperfections. If she loves Jesus more than I do, it’s an instant win!

What’s your idea of a perfect date?

Two Fs: food and fun. I love food – it’s a catalyst to great conversation and sets the mood. The fun would just be something activity based.

What fills the spot at the top of your dream destination list?

I can’t wait to sit on the hills of Maui, soaking in the calmness of beach living.

What’s your favourite drink?

My favourite alcoholic drink is served as an aperitif in Italy – it’s called an Americano and is literally bittersweet. It’s delicious! Otherwise, give me a good flat white and a glass of water any time of the day and I’m a happy man.

Do you have any regrets when it comes to past relationships?

Absolutely! Rushing into physicality too soon before you know someone is the one thing that changes the dynamic of the relationship and affects future relationships. I think I also dated for the sake of not wanting to be lonely.

Who is your Woman Crush Wednesday?

Internationally, I have and always will have a crush on Jessica Alba. Locally, I’m in awe of and inspired by the elegance, hard work, intelligence and kindness of Dineo Moeketsi.
