A very sad news for the world of seriality. The Spanish actor José de la Torre has died at only 37 years old. He was known to the Italian public especially for the role of Ivan in the Netflix series Toy Boy. The death came, according to Spanish media reports, due to an illness that had been diagnosed to him a short time ago.

The premature death has shocked the fans
José de la Torre had a promising career ahead of him. His death shocked many because, despite being only 37 years old, the actor had already managed to establish himself in Spain as well as in Europe and, thanks to Netflix, in the world due to the success of series that became international like Toy Boy and Vis a Vis: El Oasis. In addition to his television career, José had built a strong bond with the audience also on social media, where he had almost half a million followers on Instagram. The future seemed bright for him, as he demonstrated in his latest posts, where he expressed hope that 2025 would be his year. However, a sudden illness shattered that dream. “As a child, I never stopped watching movies, simply for fun, and this captivated me, planting in me the seed that would later turn into the desire to dedicate myself to this world”, he told a local Spanish newspaper, Montilla Digital, five years ago.
José de la Torre was a student of Antonio Banderas. He graduated from the prestigious private university of dramatic arts that the actor opened in his name in the city of Malaga. His studies then continued in Madrid and from that moment he began to make his way into the regular presence in Spanish television series. Success came with the series Toy Boy in the role of Ivan, released on Netflix in 2019. The following year he was in Vis a Vis – El Oasis, a spin-off series of the popular Spanish series.
