after years of being prodded about the unfortunate collapse of his telenovela career, you’d think mauricio would be used to the feeling of having to dig into his trauma and answer any questions people had, but it was still a sore spot. sure, he ended up coming out on top, much more successful than he could’ve dreamed of, but he was still carrying those wounds. 

he had spent the afternoon being interviewed by a podcast that spent the first half asking him all about how everything went down, and his beginnings. after that, mauricio spent the entire day thinking about everything and how his family still didn’t talk to him and how he lost what he thought was the great love of his life. 

that’s why he decided to go to babylon and throw caution to the wind for one night. whenever he needed to get his mind off of life and its troubles he knew he had babylon. 

he’d spent a generous amount of time saddled up to a young starlet who deemed him her “spicy gay bff,” just to get to her stash of good drugs. he knew these girls typically had some of the best stuff, so he could suffer being tokenized for a couple hours if it meant getting a good ecstasy high out on the dancefloor. 

he had since lost the starlet, who had decided she needed something much stronger, and was dancing passionately out on the dancefloor, his chest exposed and glistening with sweat. 

that’s when he spotted someone who looked familiar enough, and moved up to them, placing his hand on their cheek, petting them and smiling warmly. “I know you, right?” he was very high, enough so that he didn’t realize how weird this was. “i feel like i know you. your skin is so soft. have we hooked up before?”

“Don’t get me wrong I’ll always love being recognized for There’s A Werewolf in My Closet, don’t get me wrong. But would it be too much to ask for people to recognize my other work? It’s honestly frustrating.” Dudley complained to anybody that listened. Unfortunately it was whoever was behind him while he was waiting patiently to order his iced coffee. 

“Come talk to me when people quote the same couple lines from a telenovela you did over a decade ago every time they see you.” Mauricio didn’t expect to have this conversation, he was honestly just wanting his fix of caffeine, but hey, he could complain a little. 

“Now they do the dance moves from Champions, which is better...funnier, definitely.” And it doesn’t remind him of his old co-stars. 

“But you are really the dude from Werewolf in the closet?” He asked, accent heavy, especially when he had to say the word werewolf. “I love that movie.” A moment of genuine admiration for someone else’s work, and not something he had to feign. “I think I saw it on a date actually.”

“Ugh, I hate the theme this year.” Mercutio frowns as he looks in the mirror, adjusting the blazer they’d chosen for him this time. It fit like a dream, but he wasn’t content with how he looked in it. He glances over his shoulder at Mauricio, who had been gracious enough to join him on this trip. It was a PR stunt, ultimately, being seen all buddy-buddy with your Alliance co-stars, but he genuinely liked the dude, even if they’d been “encouraged” to arrange this trip. “Do you think this is too… gaudy?” It was a floral print, not entirely his style, but not something he’d normally shy away from either. “I’d hate to think what Joan Rivers would say if she was still alive.”

Mauricio’s real, genuine, full trust in people had been irreparably damaged after countless experiences being let down completely. After so many losses, he decided that he should keep people at arm’s length as much possible, while still making them believe that he liked them more than he actually did. In this business, that attitude, as damaged as it was, was actually a strength. 

He saw everyone as competition, and knew that they’d sell him out the second they had the opportunity to do so, so he kept himself safe, while also giving just enough to appease them. 

He had been heavily encouraged to attend this prestigious event with one of the younger stars in Alliance. Mauricio hated these things, but he liked dressing up, so he agreed. 

“It’s not too gaudy,” he said, lying, Mauricio didn’t particularly like the get up that Mercutio was in, it had way too many flowers all over the place for his liking, but he knew if he was honest, it would just throw him off and make him self conscious. He didn’t need to be taking care of a bruised ego the rest of the night or have their vibe be off completely. “I’m sure Joan would like it. Florals aren’t anything new, Mercutio.” 

Mauricio’s own get up was a slick black suit, perfectly fitted to his muscular form. He had a harness over it, for an added flair. He almost argued with his stylist that it was too gay, but he knew those days were behind him. He could wear a harness and have it be okay now. 

“I don’t think she’d like what I’m wearing, she’d probably say that I’m two steps from going to a Folsom Fair, but you know what? I don’t care.”

History

Mauricio was never supposed to be a superstar, his family had very humble beginnings. He was born in the poorer area of Medellín, Colombia, the second child to be born to his parents. It was the 80’s and the Colombian telenovela market was booming. One of the biggest studios, Camarón, was exporting novelas to the entirety of Latin America, to great success. Mauricio’s start in the industry was out of chance, his mother worked as a custodian at Camarón and had many friends that let her know all of the gossip and ins and outs of the studio, that way she knew whenever there were open calls. Mauricio was pushed by his mother and partly by his father, to audition, at first he did badly, but eventually the casting directors saw something in him, enough to put him in small roles on some telenovelas, usually playing a son or younger brother who didn’t have many lines.

 Out of the three children, he was the only one who managed to get his foot in the industry, his older brother never liked it, and his younger sister was never cast, despite countless attempts. Mauricio’s early to mid teenage years were spent booking small television roles and commercials that aired all over Colombia, and Latin America. All of the money he made went towards the family, and allowed them to have nicer things and move to a better area. Despite the good that it was providing his family, his siblings resented him, because Mauricio was treated like the golden child, the one that was giving honor to their family name.

His first big role was that of Jenny’s younger brother in Jenny la Fea, when he was 19. He had honed his craft enough at that point to be able to pull of the lovable younger brother, and Colombia began to fall in love with him.

Landing that role is what made his career boom, landing him bigger and better parts, and as he was getting older, he was getting actual romantic parts. As he entered his twenties and began to bulk up, he began landing parts that only leading men ever got. He was shaping up to be a full-blown telenovela hunk, with photoshoots lined up so that girls and women could hang up his pictures worldwide.

Mauricio had enough money at this point in his career, to move his family into a mansion in Colombia, and even moved himself to Mexico, having outgrown the Colombian market. He also paid for his brother’s rehab, and tried to get him the best treatment. He had always been troubled, but whenever Mauricio’s career took off, he always had to contend with familial issues. It was a constant pull in different directions. 

On top of that there was the fact that he was deeply closeted the entire time. From the start Mauricio had known he liked men, something that he knew was unacceptable for the fanbase he was working for. And especially for his family. They had always been deeply religious and instilled in him that he had to be a man, tough and strong, just like the men he portrayed on screen. And being gay was definitely not a strong quality, despite how challenging it was for him.

Being alone in Mexico, trying to make it big in an even larger market was a task for him, but one that he was prepared to take on. He was cast in novelas alongside many of Mexico’s heavy hitters, during this he got especially close to one of his co-stars, Tiago. He and Tiago were viewed as one of the best friendships in the industry, the two played rivals in a telenovela, Rosa, but were close as thieves in real life.

The truth was that he and Tiago had fallen in love, countless hours on a set, long nights in trailers, and hotel rooms, had brought out the truth that they were both smitten by each other. They were inseparable but kept up the façade to everyone that they were just friends, afraid that their careers would end up in flames.

They kept up their charade long after they had wrapped up filming together, and moved on to other telenovela projects, finding time to spend together in secret. Both dated women for the media but knew where their true hearts were.

Mauricio was wrapping up his last telenovela when the worst moment of his life happened, he and Tiago had been photographed kissing during a moment of passion on a balcony of one of Mexico’s most exclusive hotels, and said photograph was being spread across all the tabloids in Latin America.

He and his team had no idea what to do with everything happening. So many of his fans were put off by the reality that their heartthrob could be gay. It was surely going to affect what roles came his way, and it did. His team advised him to deny, deny, deny, and double down on his relationship with Maria, another actress who needed the spotlight. Tiago had already denied it was him in the photos, and cut him off completely, choosing his career over their relationship that had spanned years at that point. Mauricio refused to play into the game, tired of hiding and came out.

His coming out process wasn’t easy, he decided to film a video that he uploaded to the internet, where he explained how his life had been up to that point, making sure to not include Tiago’s name. He was met with mostly negative feedback from his community, his fanbase, and some positives from people that felt he was representing them.

His family wasn’t accepting of it at all, and his parents cut him off completely. They felt Mauricio, the son that had brought them such pride, now just brought them shame. They couldn’t see past what they were taught, and let Mauricio know that if he wanted to be accepted as their son, he needed to choose a better walk of life.

All of this left him practically alone, with his career in shambles, it was truly the darkest period of his life. He felt that almost overnight his life had been flipped upside down, all of the illusions that he’d had of the world were stripped away and he was left standing alone with the reality of what it all was.

With nothing left to do, he moved himself to the US, taking some time to himself to recharge and find his footing. He knew that he had to come up with a new plan for his career, he wasn’t getting any of the offers he used to. None of his old fans wanted to see him as the heartthrob anymore, they didn’t buy it.

 His early thirties were a time of change and planning, he had through the Los Angeles scene, met with filmmakers, some that had heard of his story and they wanted to cast him in a film. It was an indie film about a gay man in love with the ghost haunting his home. Mauricio wasn’t sure how he felt about taking part in it, but he wasn’t getting any other offers, so he took it. The movie went on to be a hit in the indie circuit, debuting to a lot of acclaim, and becoming a cult favorite.

That was enough to then land him a small role television role as a quirky love interest to one of the female protagonists, people were believing him in the role of a straight man again, only this time it was for an entirely different market.

He landed a couple rom-coms, as the latin lover with an accent that wooed the girl, that did well in the box office, making a name for himself in America. His career was starting to gain traction again, after having almost completely died.

After his biggest rom com, he was on the radar of Hollywood execs, enough that he was eyed for the role of Pedro Plume, the Lunar-lord in Champions of the Universe. It was one of Alliance Studios’ biggest projects in their superhero franchise and he knew that if he were to land it, it would solidify him as a star in the American market.

When he was confirmed for the role of Pedro, it was the happiest day of his life. It meant that he had survived everything that he had been through.

Mauricio is still trying to take control of his career, and focus on big action movies, rather than being pigeonholed as the latin lover, but that is proving easier now that he is the Lunar-lord, and has a couple Champions of the Universe movies under his belt.  

Es que a tus labios, no los entiendo.
