Chicharito Hernández makes the leap to cinema with a short film

Tri's top scorer is preparing to debut as an actor in a project directed by Jan Latto.

Javier “Chicharito” Hernández, historic Mexican forward and top scorer for the National Team, explores new terrain: acting. In the midst of a recent career marked by injuries and criticism, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid player shared on social networks the first images of a short film in which he is the protagonist.

The clip shows him traveling on the subway and then dominating the ball, an urban narrative that fuses his football essence. The direction is by Jan Latto, although there is still no release date or plot details.

From the courts to the screen

Chicharito lived his best years in Europe: he won titles with Manchester United and played for Real Madrid. With the Mexican National Team he left his mark as the Tricolor’s all-time top scorer. However, in recent times his performance declined, injuries became constant and his return to Chivas did not have the expected outcome.

Now, off the pitch, he is committed to an artistic side that has generated positive reactions among his followers. The project represents an unexpected turn in the career of one of Mexico’s most emblematic soccer players.

Lucila Mariscal: fear of loneliness took her to La Casa del Actor

The La Carabina de Ambrosio actress moved out of fear of being alone, not because of financial problems.

After falls and loneliness, the actress looks for company

Lucila Mariscal, known for her participation in “La Carabina de Ambrosio”, denied that her move to La Casa del Actor responds to an economic crisis. The decision was motivated by the fear of living alone after suffering three falls in her apartment.

In an interview, the actress clarified that the residence is not a retirement home, but a space for actors. “No, no. It’s not a retirement home, it’s The Actor’s House, I felt alone and it scared me,” she explained.

Mariscal related that in one of those falls her neighbors had to force the door to help her. “It was horrible and it started to scare me a lot,” he recalled. It was then that the director of ANDA, Yucita Furlong, invited her to enter, since the apartment was rented and it was not a problem to leave.

The actress also talked about her grandson Andrei, who suffers from cancer and could not take care of her. “He lived with me, until he met someone and fell in love and left,” she said. Mariscal highlighted his strength, forged since childhood after his father abandoned him.

Now, in La Casa del Actor, he claims to feel comfortable. “We are all different, it is very difficult to find similarity, to be able to treat each other,” he reflected. His story reflects the difficulties faced by older adults who live alone.

Joshua Okamoto joins Rosario Tijeras as ‘Chinche’

The actor who survived Saw now plays the volatile member of Rosario Tijeras' new gang.

Joshua Okamoto returns to the screen, but with a very different role than his last appearance in the Saw saga. Now he plays ‘Chinche’, a member of the new band led by Rosario Tijeras’ daughter, Rubí (Samantha Acuña).

The actor describes his character as the most volatile and impulsive of the group.

“He is the one who ends up putting fire to everything that happens and violence,” says Okamoto.

To build the psyche of ‘Chinche’, the actor looked for a contrast: a capricious and charismatic child, but capable of moving in sordid environments without remorse.

Fifth season on Netflix

The fifth installment of Rosario Tijeras —starring Bárbara de Regil— premiered last week on Netflix. All 40 episodes are now available. The series began in 2016, originally with three seasons that ended in 2019. Five years later, it was picked up with a fourth and now the fifth.

Okamoto shares credits with Alex Perea (‘El Mochaorejas’), Luis Curiel (‘Contraataque’) and Daniela Valdés.

“The universes intersect, we are all in this new band that is going to turn many things upside down,” he says.

The challenge of the stereotype

Due to his physique, the actor is often assigned tough characters. His filmography includes Vgly, Control Z, Death to Summer and Sex, Modesty and Tears. Although at first he questioned it, now he assumes it with perspective.

“I questioned a lot at the beginning if I was always going to play this type of role… it’s the stereotypical phenotype that I have as a young dark-skinned actor. I came to the conclusion of resisting or dying trying. I think the industry is not yet ready to get rid of certain things, but I don’t lose hope that in five years I can play a doctor or a lawyer,” he explains.
