Belén Cuesta will be the protagonist along with Jaime Lorente of Cristo y Rey, the series created by Daniel Écija that will revive, four decades later, the relationship of the best tamer in the world, Ángel Cristo, with the actress and muse of uncovering, Bárbara Rey , in a plot that will cover his most mediatic years.
Antena 3 today announced the start of filming by sharing the first image of its protagonists and completing the cast that will include Adriana Torrebejano, Cristobal Suárez, Artur Busquets, José Milán, Chema Adeva, Belén Ponce de León, Vicente Vergara, Diana Peñalver, Salomé Jiménez, David Lorente and Secun de la Rosa, among others.
Montse García and Daniel Écija are the executive producers of this new fiction from the Series Atresmedia label that promises to show us the day-to-day life of Ángel Cristo and Bárbara Rey and how they marked the media agenda of Spanish society during the last decades of the 20th century. Every step they took was news. Together they formed the most popular couple of the moment, after a fleeting courtship that in a few weeks materialized in a marriage full of lights and shadows.
“Madrid, 1979. Ángel Cristo is the best tamer in the world. Bárbara Rey, actress and muse of uncovering, the most desired woman in Spain,” highlights the official synopsis. “From the time they meet until they announce their marriage, only a few weeks go by. It is the wedding of the year and the news covers the covers of all the magazines. The Circus of Bárbara Rey and Ángel Cristo becomes the fashion show; a millionaire business Money, fame, luxury… Nine years of relationship in which Spain witnessed the happiness of the couple: the birth of Angelito and Sofía, the purchase of sports cars, jewelry, an ostentatious villa in La Moraleja… Far from the flashes , however, hides an escalation of drug addiction, gambling, infidelity and abuse… And, in the background, the shadow of Bárbara’s relationship with a powerful statesman”.
“It will be a fantasy. We are doing a very deep investigation, but sweetening what that reality was so that it is appealing”, the actor told us, “the vital moment in which they find themselves when they meet and what happens when they get together. There is an interesting journey there.”
Ángel is a charismatic and overwhelming man. He has the circus in his veins. And facing his beast in each function is what gives him life. A tireless worker, he has managed to become the best tamer in the world.
Bárbara Rey is a desired, media and controversial woman in the 70s and 80s, not only for being an actress and muse of uncovering, but for her airy relationships with important men of culture, politics and sports with whom she has felt used.
When she meets Ángel Cristo, she finds a sincere love. As much as to abandon her career and be able to fulfill her greatest dream: to be a mother. Nine years of marriage in which Spain is witness to her happiness. Far from the flashes, however, she suffers from a hell of mistreatment and abuse.
Cristo y Rey will be the new original series from Atresmedia TV for prime time on Antena 3 and will also be available on ATRESplayer PREMIUM. It is an Atresmedia TV production in collaboration with Good Mood. It is currently still in the casting phase and will begin recording in the coming months.

Jaime Lorente has just released “La noche”, his first EP as an artist. A collection of songs with which he debuts and bets on his career as a singer and musical author.
Hand in hand with one of the most in-form producers on the national rap and urban scene, Pablo Gareta, Jaime has created an EP with five songs: “Saturday”, “Sra Smith”, “Guapo y Loco”, “El Chaval” and “Lengua de Gato”.
Disco bangers, with a nostalgic and electronic sound. Between raps and catchy melodies, giving free rein to his creativity, Jaime delves into the music industry with lyrics that reveal the most nocturnal facet of him, the darkest and most lively part that we all have within him. Although the artist reveals that his greatest wish is tranquility.
You are a restless person who never stops discovering new artistic facets. For you, what is “the art of living”?
A moment in my life has come when I consider that “The art of living” is to be calm, and being calm has a lot to do with knowing what one is, being very honest… And knowing that, to enjoy, one can be at night at a party, but you can also enjoy watching a movie at home, knowing what it is and respecting yourself a lot.With so many new projects underway, why did you decide to embark on this G’Vine adventure, which brings you “the art of living” as an ambassador?
It was the brand that somehow became very interested in this jumble of artistic concerns that I have and said: “Why don’t we put it together and turn Jaime into the image of G’vine showing this”. It fits me perfectly.What does the work of a singer give you that the work of an actor does not?
For me, music is not just the fact of creating songs, it is the relationship that I have with my producer, with Pablo Gareta, who in some way I have always felt has saved my life and has taught me a way to communicate and give sense to many things that were inside my head and didn’t make sense. Everything that has to do with music has to do with him. He is my best friend and that drives me crazy.How did the idea of starting to compose songs come about?
In quarantine I was having a very bad time. Suddenly I started researching music, because I had always liked to rap and write, but I had no idea how to build a song, how to do it and searching YouTube I found a masterclass by Pablo Gareta, I wrote to him and he said: “What you do is very messy but I think we can do something together”. And up to here.What has always been your true passion, acting or composing?
Feel free, really. I think that through both things, composing and acting, I feel very free.One of the songs that has already accumulated millions of views on digital platforms is “Guapo y Loco”. What do you take away from the collaboration with Natos?
He is another of my best friends, he is the other person who has given me everything. Of Natos I always say that we are the same person in two different bodies, if we didn’t love each other so much we would hate each other. I take everything with me, these people have taken care of me, they have taught me, they are my loves.Within the music industry, which artists would you like to collaborate with? Do you have something in mind?
Right now I’m at a point where I want to build and strengthen the style of music we make. With Natos it was easy because he has collaborated throughout this process. When I feel that I have the stone well anchored, I will look for more things.What would you say to Jaime that he started in the Denver project at LCDP?
Do what you’ve done all your life, what you want. Try to do it loving and respecting people, but… whatever you want.The process of “fame” carries a lot of social pressure. Does the Jaime who started in this entire industry of interpretation manage it differently than the one now?
Much much. I have had to go through a very strong psychological process of help to try to find a place of tranquility and coexistence with all this madness of exposure that a success like LCDP, for example, supposes. I think that now I am in a good moment, where I appreciate the positive of that, but I also appreciate the good that I have in my privacy.In this process of managing the media boom, networks and pressure, what have you learned?
The pressure that I have felt is from me towards myself, suddenly I was forcing myself to do things to achieve a success that was not mine. Everyone says that success is placed in a very determined place and you get it and say “It’s not true”. My success is still elsewhere. I do this and I love it, but my success is being really calm.Right now, what is your dream or your goal?
My goal is to build a space for my daughter of freedom, of love, where she believes that she can do whatever she wants.Jaime Lorente will be performing this summer at the most important festivals in the country, confirming his presence at the San Isidro festival in Madrid, Holika Festival, Sonica Festival, Boombastic and Arenal Sound, among others.
