A year and a half ago I was about to leave everything, I didn't want to act anymore. I was in a severe state of depression after divorcing my wife.
I found work as a gardener in a remote village of 1000 inhabitants because I had no more money in my pocket. But life is strange, when you're down destiny puts the right train in front of you and if you're strong you can take it. Always believe in yourself... ALWAYS.

In an interview with Elle India in 2021, Michele opened up about fatherhood, telling the magazine:

It’s actually the most difficult job... They’re like sponges; they just absorb everything that you do and say. So, you have to be really, really, careful.
The most important thing that I am teaching my kids is to have passion. I am not the kind of parent who would want to push them to be a doctor or a lawyer.
I just want them to be passionate about what they do.

Michele usually travels to different parts of the world for various projects but still tries to stay connected to his children. For instance, in July 2022, he was seen in an Instagram video playing a rousing rendition of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” on the guitar while Brando danced to the tune.
