In Madrid, at the filming of the program ‘La Revuelta,’ Maxi Iglesias made his first public appearance after photos of him kissing Aitana Sánchez-Gijón surfaced in the media three weeks ago. Until then, the actor had avoided official events and was almost absent from social media, limiting himself to occasional posts hinting at his relationship with the actress.
The evening at the Príncipe Gran Vía Theater was held in a full house: the audience greeted Iglesias with applause, and among the guests were his relatives—two cousins, Kike and Adriana. They presented the host with a gift—a painting by the actor’s aunt, Virginia. Maxi himself recalled that he was once a participant in ‘La Revuelta’ and that this experience helped him receive new professional offers.
In the spotlight
Iglesias’ appearance drew increased attention not only because of his personal life, but also due to the success of the new season of the series ‘Punto Nemo.’ The project, where he stars alongside Alba Flores and Óscar Jaenada, was recently released on Prime Video and has already ranked third among the most popular titles on the platform. The plot centers on a group of people stranded on an isolated island, where they encounter a Soviet base, an unknown life form, and an extraterrestrial virus. According to Iglesias, working with such a cast demands full commitment and professional growth.
Personal changes
The relationship between Maxi Iglesias and Aitana Sánchez-Gijón has been discussed before. They first met on the set of “Velvet,” where their characters were linked by a forbidden romance. At the time, the actor noted that working with Aitana was an opportunity to learn from a renowned master. After the project ended, their friendship continued, and during the pandemic, Iglesias publicly admitted that he considers Aitana the most important person he has met on set.
Maxi Iglesias’s appearance at “La Revuelta” became one of the most talked-about cultural events of the week in Madrid. His return coincided with a surge of interest in Spanish actors and new projects, as evidenced by the attention given to other prominent figures—for example, recently Aryna Sabalenka spoke about her personal relationships outside of sports, which also sparked a wide response among fans.
Context and details
Maxi Iglesias remains one of the most prominent figures in Spanish cinema, and his personal life and professional achievements are regularly discussed in the media. His appearance at “La Revuelta” and the success of “Punto Nemo” have strengthened his position in the industry and once again attracted attention to new projects involving him.
