Early life
Gianluca Gori was born in Florence.[2] Before inventing the character of Drusilla Foer, he worked as an actor and theater director.[3] He also worked as a photographer and was involved with fashion and design. Little else is known about his personal life.[4] When asked where Gianluca Gori ends and the character of Drusilla Foer begins, Foer stated that, "There are no limits. Because Drusilla doesn't take up anyone's space. It's all natural."[5]
Career
In 2017, Foer was a host of StraFactor, a late night "anti-talent" show that parodied X Factor.[6] She published a novel titled You Don't Know Shame (Italian: Tu non conosci la vergogna) in 2021.[7]
In February 2022, Foer co-hosted the third evening of the Sanremo Music Festival 2022, bringing her mainstream fame in Italy.[8] After the show, she received many offers to host other programs, but rejected most of them.[9] In May, Foer co-hosted the 67th David di Donatello with Carlo Conti.[10] That year, she was the second-most-searched person on Google in Italy after Vladimir Putin.[11] The following year, she was a guest during the second evening of the Sanremo Music Festival 2023.[12]
