Gianluca Davide Esposito (born 16 December 1984) is an English YouTuber, manager, and translator.
Early life
He was born on Sunday, 16 December 1984 at exactly 23:45 in London, to a Jewish family. He is of Italki and Ashkenazi descent, as well as 1/8 Sephardi descent. His father was a model, aged 19 at his birth, and his mother was aged 15 at his birth and used to work in a nursery before moving to a brewery.
He was ahead of his peers in mobility and potty training as a young child but delayed in speech, only beginning to speak at the age of 5, when he suddenly read football news off teletext. He was diagnosed with autism around the age of four, which was later updated to Asperger's Syndrome, before the two conditions being conflated.
He was severely mentally, physically, and sexually abused as a child, which has caused him to develop BPD and PTSD.
He grew up with an Afro-Mexican boy named Carlos who stayed the night often, though they now have little contact. Gianluca went to a primary school for children with special needs. Despite not being an all-boys school, he was in an all-boys class because of an allocation policy where girls were grouped together to avoid an "only girl in a class of boys" situation. He went to mixed-gender schools with more proportionate ratios afterwards, including special needs secondary school from ages 11-14 and 16-18, and mainstream Catholic school from ages 14-16 to do his GCSEs.
He was treated with antisemitism at Catholic school. TBA
