Best Answer

If Shakespeare used a real person as a model for Romeo, we do not know who it might be. However, since Shakespeare knew that the part would be played by Richard Burbage, since Burbage was the leading actor in the company and Romeo is the lead role in the play, he may have had Burbage in mind when he wrote the part, and designed it so that Burbage would make a good job of it.
