Agustín Galiana can no longer stand being reduced to his looks as a latin lover. "People only have this image of me. To me, it’s not true. It’s important to explain because it bothers me, it offends me, it annoys me… Because, in fact, this question hits me right in the heart, because it seems like my talent is only there. I’ve been working for France for eight years, and I think I’ve shown that I’m more than a body," the 46-year-old actor insisted on the radio.
Agustín Galiana is using his promotion to set the record straight. Last April, the Spaniard released a new album titled Enamorado, his third French-language record. This Tuesday, July 2, the singer was on the radio to talk about his project: "It’s an album about love, but about happy love. Love with a capital L. Self-love, love for the audience, love I cherished in the past, love for family, love for friends."
While he is fulfilled in his life as an artist, Agustín Galiana nevertheless wanted to vent during the interview. The man, who will turn 46 on July 7, expressed how fed up he is with the handsome leading-man reputation that follows him in the media world: "A lot of people say I’m a latin lover. (…) People only have this image of me. To me, it’s not true. I’m someone who has emotions. They pinned this image on me because the character I play and that I’m given to play is always that in series or movies."
Agustín Galiana wants to show that he is much more than just a face, and hopes his message will finally be heard.
