At 22, Gabriel Guevara establishes himself as the essential face of streaming platforms. Romantic hero of À contre-sens, this young prodigy fascinates as much by his charisma as by a biography worthy of a plot-twisting scenario.
Between Glamour and Glitter: A Franco-Spanish Heritage
Born on February 6, 2001 in Madrid, Gabriel Guevara did not grow up under a discreet star. His mother, Marlène Mourreau, was in the 90s the muse of French television. Remember: host of daring shows on M6, muse of Philippe Bouvard, favorite of Patrick Sébastien… Marlène, still flamboyant at 55, conquered Spain with a career oscillating between star-system and exuberance.
His father, Michael Guevara, a Cuban dancer, completes this explosive genetic cocktail. The result: Gabriel, bilingual and cosmopolitan, grew up juggling between film sets, glittery costumes, and an adolescence under the spotlight.
The Hero with Shadows
At 14, Gabriel Guevara made his way into modeling before shining in the series SKAM España. A few roles later, here he is in À contre-sens, a teen romance turned global phenomenon on Prime Video. His chemistry with Nicole Wallace, his on-screen partner, thrills fans and fuels rumors of a real-life romance.
But behind the fairy tale, a controversy erupts: in September 2023, the actor is briefly arrested for an old accusation of sexual assault. An administrative imbroglio, we are assured, that will soon be cleared up. Despite this, the affair casts a small shadow on his trajectory as a young leading man. But no matter, Gabriel rebounds and continues to captivate.
Alberto, Darkness, and the Return to Grace
2024 marks a new facet of Gabriel: in Ni una más, a dark Netflix series, he plays Alberto, a manipulative partner. Goodbye to the charming prince, welcome to the chilling sociopath. Critics applaud. Gabriel demonstrates that he can swap his charming smile for a cold intensity. Meanwhile, he rekindles his romantic aura in the À contre-sens saga, whose second installment is released in December.
And on the love front? Officially in a relationship with Maria De Nati, he skillfully dodges any questions about Nicole Wallace. Enough to fuel fantasies, of course.
The Future of a Rising Icon
Halfway between his mother’s television legacy and his own natural magnetism, Gabriel Guevara is the actor to bet on. Capable of alternating between lover roles and more tortured characters, he proves he is not just a pretty face.
Far from his mother’s antics and the clichés of a star child, Gabriel is forging his path. And if cinema is a battlefield, he seems ready to conquer his kingdom. So, Gabriel Guevara: actor or phenomenon? The future will tell, but one thing is certain: we haven’t heard the last of him.
