Jórge López
Hot Pursuit
interview Juan Marti
Madrid’s heat blazes like an open flame, pushing the city to its edge, and in the midst of it, Jórge López appears like a shot of cool relief. Known worldwide as one of Chile’s most electric talents, he’s captivated screens with an intensity that refuses to fade.
Jórge López defies the usual trajectory, choosing a path of substance over spectacle. In an exclusive interview and photoshoot with LE MILE Magazine, he reveals a moment of genuine connection—focused on new roles, personal pursuits, and a vision that’s both dynamic and unapologetically his own.
“I know it's going to surprise you, now it's my turn to play the villain, an ambiguous man, with intentions that are difficult to understand.”

Juan Marti
What have you been up to these days?
Jórge López
I confess that I don't stop; I haven’t had time to be still since the summer started. I just got back from Mexico a few days ago after finishing a project. Now I’m in Madrid, dying from the heat.
Speaking of the film and your roles, which character have you been focusing on?
I know it’s going to surprise you—it’s my turn to play the villain, an ambiguous man with intentions that are difficult to understand. But it’s been a real gift because I returned to Disney with Tini, the Argentine star. We both return to that place that saw us grow, which has now become a platform for all kinds of audiences and produces a wide range of content. Our project is a real thriller that explores identity and how our environment influences us as we develop as people and individuals, as well as the situations we can get caught up in when we’re unclear about who we are or when we become someone we don’t want to be.
Where do you want to focus right now?
I’m giving myself a period of self-care. I’m trying to break away from the conventional idea of success and the endless work spiral. I love working, and I want to keep working, but I also want to live. I want my life project to be my main focus. In Chile, I’m remodeling my house, and here I just finished renovating my apartment. I want to accomplish personal goals, even jotting down ideas as they come to me. I’m also considering a trip to Angola.
What do you have coming up?
An adventure that, for now, has no end and that I plan to enjoy. I really want to explore that part of Africa and learn its dances, to connect with my body and my side as a dancer. I want to nurture myself, to travel alone. I love traveling solo; it’s an experience that forces you to be self-sufficient and resilient.
