Jesús Mosquera Bernal[1][2] (Spanish pronunciation: [xe.ˈsus̬ mos.ˈkɛ.ɾa βɛɾ.ˈnal]; born 23 February 1993) is a Spanish ex-footballer turned actor,[3] best known for his portrayal of Hugo Beltrán in Toy Boy.

Career as footballer[]

Born in the southern coastal town of Fuengirola, in the province of Málaga,[4] Mosquera played as a central defender and began his career at Málaga CF, at the age of 12.[5] He was in the lower league of the Andalusian club, making the leap to Athletic Bilbao at the age of 16 and even rejecting offers from big clubs such as Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. Shortly after, at the age of 18, Mosquera returned to Málaga, enrolling in the reserve team of Málaga CF. He also went through Betis B and Antequera, his last clubs before quitting football and turning to acting.[6]

Career as actor[]

After being discovered at a gym in Málaga, Mosquera auditioned for a small role in his breakout show. The producers saw in him a raw potential for stardom, which led him to being cast as the lead in Toy Boy instead of the bit part.[7][4]
