If you like Spanish faranduleo, you are in luck: on January 15 “Cristo y Rey<\/strong>“, the fiction based on the lives of \u00c1ngel Cristo and B\u00e1rbara Rey, premiered on ATRESplayer. These two celebrities marked the heart press of the 90’s and their story is, to say the least, convulsive: passion, fights, drugs and violence<\/strong> are some of the adjectives that would fit best to define this relationship of lights and shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n

Few introductions need to be made to B\u00e1rbara Rey, since she is one of the most recognized names in the series. Today we will delve into the other side of the binomial “Cristo and Rey”, \u00c1ngel Cristo<\/strong>, who passed away on May 4, 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c1ngel Cristo Dordid<\/strong> was born in Huelva on October 17, 1943. The fame he gained is due to the circus tents: during the 70s and 80s, \u00c1ngel Cristo was known for being the most famous tamer in Spain<\/strong>. His relationship with the circus is not accidental, since he was the son of the Malaga contortionist Margarita Dordi and the Greek trapeze artist Christoforo Cristo Papadopulos<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c1ngel’s childhood took place under tents and shows of all kinds. However, little Angel always showed interest in one thing in particular: the wild beasts<\/strong>. At the age of 17, he had his first contact with lions because the tamer who worked with his parents had to be absent. However, his official debut did not come until he was 21 years old at the Berlin Zirkus<\/strong> (inherited from the Circus Krone). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After several years, in 1968 he founded his own circus, El Circo Ruso<\/strong>. After many ups and downs, it managed to position itself as the most important in all of Europe and had up to 300 workers. Due to the risk of his show, \u00c1ngel Cristo suffered spectacular accidents that would lead to bruises and broken bones<\/strong>. The tamer was also followed by controversy, such as the multiple accusations of animal abuse and the abandonment<\/strong> that he made of two lions and a tiger to a circus in Badajoz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
