Antonio de la Torre, the "Spanish Depardieu"

2020-10-27T16:00:16.173Z


PORTRAIT - On the bill in Une vie secrète, the actor, who has been a staple for ten years in his native country, has appeared in more than 80 films.


He is by turns talkative, earthy, disarming and above all full of charm.

Passing through Paris to defend the Spanish film

A Secret Life

, actor Antonio de la Torre receives a mixture of candor and enthusiasm which brings him closer to a kind of Iberian Al Pacino mixed with Dustin Hoffman.

At 52 years old, this sturdy actor, vibrating with energy, does not resemble the various characters he has played in his films (more than 80 to date for almost thirty years).

However, whoever has toured twice with Almodovar (

Volver

and

Les Amants Passengers

) knows, with a simple mimic or intonation, even a small gesture, to become a fraternal ex-con (

Azul

, 2007, which earned him a Goya), a madly in love circus clown (

Balada Sad

, 2011), a prestigious tailor with a terrifying secret

(Amours cannibales

, 2014), a taciturn avenger (

La Colère d'un homme patient

, 2017), a political prisoner (

Companero

s, 2019) or another corrupt politician at bay (

El Reino

, 2019).
