Career in television

edit

In September 2006, Đuričić came to public attention by entering the first season of the Serbian spin-off of the Big Brother franchise.[2] He ultimately voluntarily left the show on day 15.[3] After his appearance, Đuričić has acquired substantial fame and a career in show business. In October 2006, he became the first man to be featured on the cover of the Playboy magazine in Serbia.[4] Furthermore, Đuričić served as a presenter of his own call-in show on Radio B92 for seven months, appeared as a guest on the eminent political talk show Utisak nedelje and starred in TV commercials among other ventures.[5][6] In late October 2007, he returned for the show's second season, but walked once again after his father, Mirko Đuričić, had entered the competition.[2]

On March 9, 2009, Đuričić among fourteen other celebrities became a contestant on Veliki Brat VIP. After close to a month on the show, on April 6, he left the house winning the 50,000 prize.[7][2]

He attended the secondary technical school "Zmaj" in Zemun, from which he dropped out in the first year.[8]

In June 2019, Đuričić was disqualified from the reality series Zadruga and subsequently received a 30-day detention after physically assaulting two female fellow-contestants, Nadežda Biljić and Suzana Perović.[9] He was later sentenced to a year in house arrest.[10]
