PEPE

Pepe is a Spanish actor and model, born and raised in Madrid. He played football in Atlético de Madrid’s youth academy and began modelling during his high school years. At 18, he moved to the U.S. to study at UCLA on a football scholarship, playing for the university until the age of 21. It was then that he decided to enroll in an acting course, while also launching a sustainable clothing brand focused on social causes.

After finishing his studies at UCLA, Pepe returned to Spain to fully concentrate on his acting career. He has been confirmed for his first international film, *Gran Turismo*, alongside Orlando Bloom and David Hooper. In Spain, he has appeared in the Netflix series *High Seas* and *45 RPM*, and he has also played the lead in a Mexican film. He recently starred in a hit TV show on Amazon Prime, further solidifying his presence in the international entertainment industry.

In his most recent project, Pepe filmed *Those About to Die* in Rome, starring alongside Anthony Hopkins and directed by Roland Emmerich. In addition to his acting endeavors, he launched a vegan and sustainable cosmetic brand called *Veganis*.

On a more personal note, Pepe has recently taken up golf and is quite obsessed with it. He is a son, brother, and now father, and a huge fan of movies, historical novels, contact sports, and football. He has a deep love for animals, especially horses, and continues to train as an actor while exploring writing with hopes of producing soon. Bilingual in English and Spanish, Pepe is also skilled in boxing and horseback riding.
