To Kiko The Goat They gave him the nickname for recklessly driving drug boats. The murderer of the civil guards of Barbate might have been called that because of his unattractive face, but it would not be surprising if his life were to be filmed and he would end up played by Mario Casas. Sito Miñanco looked like a divorced man who goes out of his way to flirt with waitresses who might be his daughters, but in reality flour was the attractive Javier Rey; Pablo Escobar had the languid gaze of Wagner Moura and the seductive looks of Benicio del Toro. Under the makeup Griselda There is the stunning Sofía Vergara and you can guess her even behind a more ridiculous mask than the one Jeannette Rodríguez used to escape from prison in The lady in pink, an escape as bizarre as that of El Pastilla, the hitman whom a camera detected days later in Leipzig. It’s hard to blend in when you look like Jar Jar Binks. Fiction doesn’t care, in cinema it would be at least Jon Kortajarena. The model returns today in the second season of The inmortal. In the Movistar Plus+ series, the gorgeous Álex García is a transcript of Juan Carlos Peña, the leader of Los Miami, the gang that controlled drug trafficking in Madrid, the same one that Ana Obregón wanted to hire to beat up Jaime Cantizano —that’s the Feud Hispanic that I want to see. Search Peña on Google and you will see how much criminals owe casting directors.
In addition to glamorizing him, the drug trafficker is humanized. The Colombian Juan Pablo Calvás denounced him following the premiere of Griselda. It is not a recent vice. Remember Miguel Ángel Silvestre in Without tits there is no paradise. There are countless idiots who took him as a model, believing that the life of a criminal is full of cars and torrid romances with women who look like Amaia Salamanca. The drug trafficker is glamorized and consumption is trivialized, as if the end customer were blameless. I have argued with supposed feminists who tear their clothes at the lyrics of a song, but they do not question that when they consume any type of drug they are financing the trafficking of women, also of immigrants and weapons. Gloria Serra is not necessary to find the links between drug trafficking and trafficking, although as happens with castings it is more satisfying to avoid reality.
