Is that really Martiño Rivas going full-frontal in the new series about adult film legend Nacho Vidal?
Nacho made its international premiere, telling the story of the people who revolutionized the adult entertainment industry in the 1990s.But, as the series’ title hints, Nacho is largely about one person in particular: The world famous adult film star and director, Nacho Vidal, known for his, um, generous assets and for (as the official synopsis puts it) changing “the rules of the game.”Vidal has gone on record stating that he is, unfortunately, straight, but he has directed a number of gay adult films over the years, and even has a trans daughter, who shared her story in the documentary Me Llamo Violeta.
We stan an LGBTQ+ ally who’s not afraid to show off his goods!U.K. streamer Lionsgate+ recently dropped Nacho‘s first trailer with English subtitles, which you can watch below:So, no, Vidal doesn’t play himself in this story of his rise to fame.
Instead, Nacho has the next best thing: The absolutely shredded and drop-dead gorgeous actor Martiño Rivas.Born in northern Spain, Rivas began his career as a child actor and later broke through to wider acclaim on the hit teen drama SMS.
The 38-year-old has since appeared in a number of Spanish-language series and films, including the period drama Cable Girls, which aired for five seasons on Netflix.A post shared by Man About Town Magazine (@_manabouttownuk)But Nacho allows audiences to see a whole new side of Rivas on screen—or, more like every side of Rivas.As you might imagine, a series about the adult film industry requires a lot of nudity and plenty of sex scenes, simulated or otherwise.
