Good Morning, Gratuitous Alfonso Herrera

.
Thanks to commenter Miguel for sharing this news - you guys remember how I posted that picture of Miguel Angel Silvestre with Charlie Cox and a cock-blocking Jane Fonda the other day? They were doing press for Netflix's new spate of series; Miguel's one of the stars of Sense8, the Wachowskis upcoming series for the streaming service. It's about eight strangers all around the world who suddenly becoming mentally/emotionally connected after a traumatic incident. (Think Joss Whedon's In Your Eyes, just times four.) Anyway one of the eight is Miguel, and apparently he is playing a closet case, and his secret gay lover is played by this fellow, Mexican actor Alfonso Herrera!

I mean clearly I was already on-board with Sense8 thanks to just Miguel, so this is just gravy... good gay gravy, my god. The Wachowskis dedication to boy-sloitation goes remarked upon too little, I think. They always fill their world with international hotness - think of the foreign drivers in Speed Racer played by Moritz Bleibtreu and Benno Fürmann, for instance.

Anyway back to Alfonso, he's who we're here for. It looks like most of his previous work is for Mexican television series (I am guessing they're telenovelas; feel free to correct me if you know better) but the 31 year old is about to say howdy to America, in a big way... with his lips on Miguel Angel Silvestre. What an introduction. So go ahead and hit the jump for around 40 more pictures!

Oh thank you for the metion, and you also need to know that Alfonso can SING too!

Because he was one of the leads of Mexican series called 'Rebelde', which was about a singing group formed with 6 students of a school and their day to day lives.

And Alfonso was one of those 6, he was part of that group (that became a a reality) called 'RBD'... They exploded and rose to fame all over the world, to the point that they got to sell 57 million records.
