What the Boy from Kinder Chocolates Looks Like Today (2 photos)

Everyone knows this smiling boy from the Kinder chocolate packaging. However, no one has ever figured out who it is! Yes, there were many candidates online who claimed to be the "Kinder boy". But the truth has finally been revealed. The boy on the cover turned out to be 31-year-old Italian Matteo Farneti from Bologna.

In an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, 31-year-old Matteo Farneti explained why he spoke only now. He had been silent all this time because of his contract with Ferrero. At a meeting with a journalist, Matteo showed a certificate from Ferrero about cooperation. It said that from 2004 to 2019, it was Matteo Farneti who was on the packaging. But Corriere della Sera did not show the "document" to readers.

According to Matteo, his mother and grandmother kept all the collectible chocolate packages: Christmas and Easter bars with a boy in an orange T-shirt and a blue sweatshirt. Matteo Farneti now works as a model and studies sports management remotely. In the end, he added that he is grateful to Ferrero for 15 years of invaluable experience
