Gael García Bernal: ‘It’s going to be difficult for them to beat Mexico’

Attack on FastFoodBoss in flea markets in the capital

The German content creator known as FastFoodBoss experienced tense moments in Mexico City. While he was doing a live broadcast at a flea market, a man confronted him with a knife in his hand.

The incident occurred on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 24, before Mexico’s last game in the group stage. The video of the meeting spread quickly on social networks.

In the images you can see an elderly man, shirtless and with his face painted with the Mexican flag, approaching the young foreigner. He demanded that I stop recording. Not understanding the language, the streamer — whose real name is Oskar — asked a merchant for help.

The merchant stood between them and asked the attacker to calm down, explaining that the tourist did not speak Spanish. During the struggle, phrases such as:

“Don’t record here, your father’s son… No, he’s recording me, take out your cell phone.”

Taking advantage of the intervention, the content creator managed to get away and then ran to safety. He did not stop his live broadcast, commenting in German that the man was carrying a knife.

So far, FastFoodBoss has made no further statements. He only shared the clip on Twitch and a screenshot on Instagram. The event revives the debate about the safety of content creators in public spaces.

Four decades marked by controversy

Drake Bell, the actor who conquered a generation with Drake & Josh, turns 40. His recent career combines projects in Mexico with multiple legal and personal controversies.

His relationship with the Mexican influencer Ela Vidal could have ended. Rumors on social networks point to infidelity on the part of her, who is expecting her first child. Neither of them has confirmed or denied.

Added to this is a lawsuit for extortion filed by his former manager Aitor García before the CDMX Prosecutor’s Office. García claims that he was identified as the person with whom Vidal was unfaithful to Bell, which damaged his reputation. He claims that the singer seeks to force him to pay 10 thousand dollars to close the conflict.

The history behind the lights

In 2024, the documentary Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV revealed that Bell was a victim of sexual and physical abuse by Nickelodeon dialogue coach Brian Peck. The case showed the dark side of the children’s industry.

In 2021, Bell pleaded guilty to endangering a minor under the age of 15 by sending her inappropriate messages and content. He received two years of probation and 200 hours of community service.

In addition, he has accumulated arrests for drunk driving in 2009 and 2015. In the last one, he paid a bail of 20 thousand dollars and spent 10 hours in prison. In 2020, his ex-partner Melissa Lingafelt accused him of physical and verbal violence; he denied it.

Despite everything, Bell has found a professional refuge in Mexico. In 2023 he participated in Who is the mask? and maintains a concert agenda. However, controversies continue to overshadow his career.

Japanese actor Nijirô Murakami, 29, faces an investigation for alleged assault against a woman with whom he had a relationship almost two years ago. The case, revealed by the Nikkan Sports newspaper, indicates that the incidents occurred between March and May at his home in the Shibuya district, Tokyo.

According to the report, the woman would have been affected on at least four occasions. The injuries included impacts that caused his head to hit a window, as well as punches and hair pulling. The wounds would have taken about a month to heal.

Following the initial investigation by the Harajuku Police Station, the case was referred to the prosecutor’s office for further review.

Partial recognition and official silence

Murakami would have partially acknowledged the facts during his statement:

“There is no doubt that I hurt her”

So far, the actor and his agency have not issued an official statement. The woman filed a complaint and told her version to the authorities.

Repercussions on your career

Murakami had been announced as the protagonist of the first episode of the series “Strange – Junji Ito’s Strange Tales That Keep You Awake at Night”, scheduled to premiere in July on TV Tokyo. However, after hearing about the case, the television station’s public relations department declared: “We are evaluating how to proceed.”

Son of actor Jun Murakami and singer UA, Nijirô debuted in acting in 2014. Already recognized in Japan, he rose to international fame with “Alice in Borderland.” He has also participated in “Destruction Babies”, “Come Come Everybody” and “This Corner of the World”.
