Jesús Mosquera Bernal [1] [2] (Spanish pronunciation: [xeˈsus mosˈkeɾa βeɾˈnal]; born 23 February 1993) is a Spanish ex-footballer turned actor, [3] best known for his portrayal of Hugo Beltrán in Toy Boy.
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 youth academy of the Andalusian club, making a switch to the other side of Spain to join Athletic Bilbao at the age of 16. [6] [7] 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. [8]
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. [9] [4]
