(LISTEN, i don’t have a proper bio for him yet but I have this, soon i’ll write a proper bio i promise)

TRIGGERS: death mention, child loss

Aristóteles was born in Oaxaca Mexico, product of the love affair between Renata, a seamstress and Miguel, a Mexican politician who ran away quickly from his responsibilities the minute Renata gave him the news. Although Renata didn’t have the meanings to care for a kid, she worked hard to raise his child who never lacked a thing, even when he could see the tiredness in his mother’s eyes.

At age ten, after seeing his mother struggle to make end meets, Ari decided to step in: he put his name on for a talent reality show in Mexico and got selected to compete. Although he didn’t win, Ari charmed the audience with his voice and personality, receiving a second place and deal for his own album. Not a year later, Ari was promoting his album and a soap opera he would be a part of. He used the money he was payed to buy his mother a house so she would never have to worry about making ends meet again.

His career took off after that. Soap operas, movies, awards, albums, tours… México couldn’t get enough of him, became the youngest solo number to sell out the biggest arena in mexico at the age of fifteen. It was traced in the stars, Aristóteles would become a legend.

Turning sixteen and having all the fame and fortune his stardom had brought with him affected the young star. Although he loved his country and his audience, the millions of kids, young people and eldest who would sing along to the songs he had written, he needed a bigger challenge and thus, he decided to move to the USA to try and make it in Hollywood. Soon enough his luck and talent proved to work on his favor and he began getting small roles in commercials and secondary roles in shows and movies. 

That’s where he met Natalie. She was beautiful, bright, gentle… Ari fell in love quickly and not long after, he proposed. Natalie said yes and just like that, the couple got married in a little ceremony by the beach.

As things goes, happiness didn’t last long. On Ari’s 21st birthday, coming home from his celebration dinner on their way to pick up their daughter from Renata’s home, a car accident took Natalie from him and to make matters worse, it was informed to him that Natalie was pregnant and he had also lost his child. He spent years trying to recover from his terrible loss.

Just as Ari was ready to quit the Hollywood world and the dream of becoming a successful actor in America, the actor received one last lifeline. A script for an upcoming show and an opportunity to work in the legendary Palmwood Studios. He auditioned and finally landed the gig, playing Duke Holly in Rumor Woman. 

𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥

he is very friendly and charming, VERY flirty.

VERY proud of his roots, you will hear him speaking to his mom in spanish 24/7 and blasting mexican music left and right

has a very close relationship with his mom. they are eachother’s rocks and she means a lot to him

he does party. he LOVES PARTYING. not only is it in his blood but he often needs to let out some steam (who KNEW being an actor could be so stressful)

probably has a lot of one stands or relationships that are non-committal. he has big baggage dragging so serious relationships are hard for him not impossible but HARD

man breathes, dreams, lives music. he plays a lot of instruments: guitar, piano, violin, ukelele, recorder, french horn, drums, harp, trumpet, bass, kalimba, xylophone… he loves music. 

LOVES to cook, too. mostly mexican food. if acting doesn’t play out, his plan b would be to open an authentic mexican restaurant focused oaxacan cuisine. 

 and, that is my v damaged kid. i am v excited to write with you all x
