Maxi Iglesias, the charismatic Spanish actor whose star power continues to rise, recently shared his fondness for Argentina, expressing a strong desire to return to the country where he previously worked. Iglesias, who has captivated audiences with his roles in popular Spanish productions like 'Física o química,' 'Velvet,' and the Netflix series 'Valeria,' fondly remembers his time in Buenos Aires filming the telenovela 'Separadas' in late 2019 and early 2020. Despite the show's premature cancellation due to the pandemic, his experience left a lasting positive impression.

Iglesias's journey in the entertainment world began remarkably early. From child advertising model to a film debut as an extra at age six, and later a role in the series 'Hospital Central' at 14, his path was set for stardom. The role of César Cabano in 'Física o química' catapulted him to teen idol status, paving the way for a consistent career in Spanish television. Beyond acting, Iglesias is a multifaceted talent, having pursued studies in Psychology, obtained pilot licenses for planes, helicopters, and drones, and even penned his first novel, a thriller titled 'Horizonte artificial.' This diverse skill set informs his approach to his craft and storytelling.

In the Platino Awards, you get that meeting with colleagues I've had the luck to work with and with others I haven't had the chance to collaborate on a project with, but whom I've known for many years, and it's very nice to meet and discuss how we are, how we see the situation, what's happening. It's a very nice exchange.

— Maxi IglesiasThe actor describes the value of networking and camaraderie at the Platino Awards.

Currently, Iglesias is in Riviera Maya for the Platino Awards, a prestigious event celebrating Ibero-American cinema and television. He is also anticipating the release of the film adaptation of Alice Kellen's novel 'Todo lo que nunca fuimos.' While his professional life is thriving, his personal life has also been a subject of public interest, particularly his rumored relationship with actress Aitana Sánchez-Gijón. However, questions regarding this were off-limits during his recent interview with LA NACION. For Iglesias, the opportunity to connect with fellow actors and industry professionals at events like the Platino Awards is invaluable, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared experience within the Ibero-American audiovisual landscape. His reflections on the industry often emphasize the importance of international collaboration, a sentiment likely shaped by his own experiences working across different countries.

I always advocate for that exchange since I started working in Spain. I've almost always had actresses and actors in my projects who came from other countries, and then I had the opportunity to work in Buenos Aires with Separada.

— Maxi IglesiasHe discusses his long-standing support for international collaboration within the audiovisual industry, referencing his experience in Argentina.
