Nuno was born on September 6, 2001 in Orense, Spain. Even though he initially wanted to become a biologist, the Elite actor prepared for his impending stardom by studying at the Escuela Municipal de Arte Dramático in Madrid and the Real Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático, the latter in which he learned fencing, acrobatics, and dance. Nuno started acting at 11, inspired by his family, including his actress aunt and godfather. Nuno admits school was a way for him to meet more like-minded people, at the time:
“I was a bit scattered as a kid and struggled academically, so theater was like therapy. It was a place where I connected with like-minded people, laughed, and did what I loved.”
