Just call me Ángel of the moaning! Ángel Pardo is a retro stud who bared all in the seminal but often overlooked 70s Spanish gay drama Hidden Pleasures. Despite the, frankly, pornographic nature of the movie's title, this is actually a relatively reserved queer drama about the surprising friendship between an eighteen-year-old straight boy and a forty-something-year-old gay banker. Ángel Pardo is neither of the two. He's a mobster who beats up and robs the gay banker. Hey, we're all having fun here! Believe it or not, Ángel Pardo's career was still going strong in the 2020s! He's maintained a steady acting career over the decades since the release of Hidden Pleasures, appearing in a bunch of Spanish television shows like The Longest Night, Amar en tiempos revueltos, and Hospital Central. Pardo me sit, but you're on fire!
