(GoRealNewsNow.com) – Leaving fans shocked and heartbroken, Netflix star José de la Torre tragically died at the short age of 37.
Known for his captivating role as Iván in the Spanish thriller series ‘Toy Boy,’ De la Torre died in December, and his funeral was held the following day.
The actor had announced in June that he was battling a serious illness, forcing him to step away from the entertainment industry for treatment.
Born in Montilla, Córdoba Province, Spain, José pursued his passion for acting from a young age. He once shared:
“From a very young age, I found solace in cinema – though not so much in acting, at least not at first.”
“I was a child who couldn’t stop watching films, purely for the joy of it. But that captivated me and planted the seed that would later grow into my desire to pursue it as a career,” he added.
De la Torre’s talent extended beyond acting. He also worked as a model for various jewelry and fashion brands, showcasing his versatility in the entertainment industry.
Over a decade ago, his first starring role was in a music video for Nena Daconte, marking the beginning of a promising career cut tragically short.
Furthermore, the actor’s last Instagram post on June 3 featured photos with friends in the Canary Islands, giving no indication of the battle he was facing.
Singer Lolita Flores paid tribute to the actor by singing at his funeral. Later, she posted, “It breaks my heart to think I’ll never hear your voice again, but I’ll keep talking to you. Love you endlessly, José.”
Spanish actress Luisa Martín and other colleagues shared their thoughts on de la Torre on social media, highlighting his impact on those around him.
De la Torre’s career included appearances in other series like “Amar es para siempre,” “Vis a Vis: El Oasis,” and “Servir y proteger.”
A graduate of the Málaga Higher School of Performing Arts, he lived in Málaga, contributing to the Spanish entertainment scene.
While José de la Torre’s passing is not just a loss for the Spanish entertainment industry but a reminder of the fragility of life, his contributions and talent will be remembered.
