Jesús Mosquera, 27, has been a footballer since the age of 12 and has played for Spanish teams. A regular workout at the gym changed his life.
Information about him is scarce because some time ago he was just a stranger. Jesús gained fame in the role of Hugo Beltrán González in the series "Toy Boy" on Netflix. In "Toy Boy", Hugo, a sex stripper, wakes up one day in a sailing boat and finds himself near a man's body. His journey into the series was quite random.
During the summer of 2018, when he was not playing football, some friends told Jesús to go to the gym, as some producers were looking for people there for a TV series. He went and no one came. Two days later, the gym owner told him the producers were back. "I told friends I would not go because they would not choose me, so I did not show up," he told CNN. "We continued training. Suddenly I heard a woman say ?it?s a guy who has the portrait we?re looking for, it?s in yellow blouse, but he didn?t come to auditions. I looked down and saw I was wearing a yellow T-shirt. ?
"And what will you lose?" she told me. "If you're lucky, you'll go through the first round." Driven by friends, Jesús agreed to audition, but just for fun. A week later, the producers called him and offered him the lead role - a stripper.
"It was complicated because I'm a shy person. I didn't even want to go to auditions because I'm ashamed to pose in front of the camera, not to undress and dance. "
After the phone call in January 2019, Jesús left football and moved to Madrid. A few months later, the shooting of "Toy Boy" began, and here it is today - one of the most talked about and attractive actors in Spain.
