Eduardo Verastegui 1It’s Wednesday. You know what that means. Time for Latin Spotlight. This week we bring you Eduardo Verastegui, a Mexican actor, model, and singer who disappeared for a few years but is back on the attack like a Big Mac snack..pack..ack. Sorry, back to Eduardo. Like many Latin actors, he got his start in novelas but eventually moved to Hollywood to make feature films.

Eduardo Verastegui His prime was in 2002-03 when he starred in the film Chasing Papi, even though the film was horrible, did not do well, and critics hated it. Regardless, he was the lead actor in the film and that resonated loudly with us Latinos. He had other smaller stints in Charmed and Meet Me in Miami following this film. He even released an album in Spanish that had luke-warm results.
Eduardo Verastegui Jennifer Lopez hand-picked Eduardo to be her love interest in the music video for Ain’t It Funny and the media speculated that there was a relationship between the two. Eduardo played a gipsy that danced and drove every girl (and some guys) bananas. Everyone wanted to be a gipsy after that, or at least get taken advantage by one.
Eduardo Verastegui Eduardo was in hiding for about three years because he was trying to find himself and has a new found interest in religion. He wants to serve others because he lost track and focus of that in the past. About acting, he says “I don’t want to act right now unless I had control over the literary content. I want to produce.” So much to the dismay of many, he won’t be utilizing that pretty face of his onscreen any time soon.
