Eloy Azorín
- Actor
Eloy Azorín was born on February 19, 1977, in Madrid. He is the
humourist Eloy Arenas's son. Thanks to him, he knows the show business from
the inside out. His first appearance in cinema was as the main
character of Como un relámpago (1996) where he shared credits with Santiago Ramos and Assumpta Serna,
directed by Miguel Hermoso. This was the confirmation that he didn't want to
do anything but act. He joined the school of Dramatic Art, auditioning
with a monologue written by his father. Later on, in 1998, he appeared
in the film Atómica (1998) written and directed by Alfonso Albacete and David Menkes, where
he interpreted a small role. But he became really well-known with the
multi-awarded All About My Mother (1999), of Pedro Almodóvar, starring as Cecilia Roth's son. He
ignored during the ten days of shooting that All About My Mother (1999) would turn the
world, monopolizing the attention of all media and the best prizes in
the film industry. The surprise came with the Oscar. Since then, his
work has multiplied. Cuba (2002), Besos para todos (2000), Aunque tú no lo sepas (2000) and Mad Love (2001) (still in
production) are the titles that take his name in 2000. It is Besos para todos (2000)
his last great success. Next to Emma Suárez, he stars as a student that
discovers the mysteries of love and sex in a grey and multicolored
Spain in the 1960s. These lines only describe the beginning of a
promising career.
