Two years after the closure of Sky in Spain,
Paramount
and
NBCUniversal
launch a new platform in our country,
SkyShowtime
.
They do so with the hope of fishing in the waters of
streaming
, troubled by the recent changes in the subscription modalities of Netflix, and of competing with local services such as
Atresplayer Premium
with a powerful initial claim,
Bosé
, the long-awaited
authorized six-episode
biopic
by the Spanish artist based in Mexico.
The series abounds in the personal relief initiated by the singer after the death of his mother,
Lucía Bosé
, with
El hijo del Capitán Trueno
(2021), the priceless memoir that supports a good part of the plot.
Helped for the occasion by scriptwriters such as the former Minister of Culture
Ángeles González Sinde
or a family friend such as
Boris Izaguirre
.
And hand in hand with him, the viewer naturally attends the story of the successive romances of Bosé.
The usual acquaintances -
Ana Obregón
,
Giannina Facio
- and those who have been getting to know each other - the Italian deputy
Marco Pannella
or
Nacho Duato
-.

Bosé
is in tune with the fashion for series dedicated to singing stars that broke out in 2018 with
José José, el príncipe de la canción
, but above all with
Luis Miguel: the series
.
Of the latter, Bosé replicates the double timeline, and from the beginning the adventures of the ephebetic debutant Bosé from the late 70s, played by José
Pastor
, and the mature Bosé from the 2000s, played by
Iván Sánchez
, alternate on screen. , embarking on his
Papitour
tour and on the adventure of surrogacy with
Nacho Palau
, who in the series is called Pablo Alborch (played by
José Sospedra
).
Also as in
Luis Miguel
, each chapter bears the title of a song, and there is a rude, scoundrel and insensitive patriarch, who does not have the grace of that Luisito Rey from Óscar Jaenada, but who, thanks to the actor Nacho Fresneda, preserves
the
charisma overwhelming by
Luis Miguel Dominguín
.
Alicia Borrachero
, as the tata, and
Valeria Solarino
as
Lucia Bosé
interpret the two most important women in the singer's life.
As if on a quantum whim, the couple Pastor and Sánchez, two Bosés at the same time, receive in a room at the Hotel Villa Magna in Madrid for interviews to promote the series.
José Pastor
was born in 1996, the same year that the original
Miguel Bosé
turned 40.
"As a child I knew Bandit Lover
by heart
, I don't know why," he admits, "but I got to know him more as a jury of
El número uno"
, a
talent show
premiered by Antena 3 in 2012.
This role is one of those pearls that touch an actor.
It is a challenge and a responsibility.
Iván Sánchez, the mature Bosé
Iván Sánchez
personally treated Bosé at the same time that his current co-star was born, when he was one of the most sought-after Spanish models.
Today consolidated as an actor, with a career based between Mexico and Europe, he takes this role as "one of those four or five pearls" that an actor gets in his career.
Playing such a recognizable, living character is "a challenge and a responsibility."
So is avoiding the temptation of caricature.
For this reason, they made the decision not to have contact with Miguel Bosé "so as not to be manipulated, in the best sense."
The singer met for two years with
Nacho Faerna
,
showrunner
of the series.
He gave him all the information, they created the chapters and the actors worked from them.
"We have done a lot of individual research on the character with the directors and with people who have known him well to put him together in our head and in our body. Then, Iván and I have had enough contact to share opinions, gestures, movements that we could rescue and agree so that the viewer gets more that we are the same character", explains Pastor.
When he found out that the role was his, the young Bosé bought all the books he could find on the singer.
Also
El número uno
, the biography of Luis Miguel Dominguín written by
Andrés Amorós
, to understand the dimension of the character.
"It did not enter my head that a bullfighter could be so important, the closest thing now would be a footballer."
I raise my leg, but Miguel raised it more
José Pastor, the young Bosé
Audiovisual documentation was also key.
Like Bosé's debut in April 1977 on the José María Íñigo program
Esta noche fiesta
, live from Florida Park, today accessible to anyone on the Televisión Española website.
That night, sitting at her parents' table, were
Gloria Fuertes
,
Antonio the dancer
,
La Polaca
and the widow of the Indonesian dictator,
Dewi Sukarno
.
And in those of about two Formula 1 champions such as
Niki Lauda
or
James Hunt
, training in Madrid for the Jarama Grand Prix,
Paquirri
and
El Niño de la Capea
or
Raffaella Carrà
accompanied by
Joe Dallesandro
.
It is one of the moments that the series tries to reproduce with some fidelity, and that allowed
José Pastor
to demonstrate his skills as a dancer.
"I have not studied in a conservatory, that is why I say that I am not a dancer. I have studied musical theater and I have been trained above all in contemporary dance," he explains.
But dancing
Eres todo para mí
, the version of
You To Me Are Everything
included on Bosé's first album, nails the original choreography.
"I raise my leg, but Miguel raised it more."
