Javier Botet Lopez

Javier Botet is a Spanish actor and director, star of foreign horror films. Javier's popularity in cinema was brought about by his unusual appearance, thanks to which he made a successful career in the horror industry. To date, almost no horror film is complete without his participation, and the actor himself admitted in an interview that he did not even think seriously about working in films.

Until the age of 4, young Javier, along with his father Augustine Rodriguez and mother Maria del Carmen Lopez Nieto Servilia, lived in the southern part of Spain, in the city of Ciudad Real. A year later, because of his father's work, the family first moved to Cuenca, and then to Granada, where Javier was sent to a school of fine arts.

At the age of 6, Boteta is diagnosed with a rare genetic disease - Marfan syndrome. According to statistics, such an ailment occurs in one case out of 5 thousand. People with such a pathology have a special hyperplasticity of joints and bones, high growth and an extremely thin structure of the body. The actor has grown to 2 meters, and his weight does not exceed 50-60 kg.

It is worth noting that without proper care and treatment, people suffering from this syndrome may forever be tied to a wheelchair and not live to be 50.

However, the disease, which left its mark on the biography forever, opened the doors to the world of cinema for the actor and made him famous in Hollywood. As a child, Botet liked to pose in front of a mirror and twist his body in every possible way in the most extraordinary ways.

Acquaintance with cinema from the future master of horror transformations happened in his student years, when Javier was studying in college as a decorator. At that time, already living in Madrid, he worked as a book illustrator. One day one of his friends offered to enroll in a special effects artist course. Botet took this idea as something unusual, new and soon began to attend classes on weekends.

In 2005, one of the teachers introduces the young man to the film director Brian Yuzna. He was immediately interested and attracted by Javier's appearance. And at the age of 27, Botet enters the Filmax studio, where he plays his first monster character in the film In Still Water. The actor recalls that the filming process was not easy. It took 6-7 hours to fully apply makeup, and I had to play even in ice water.

After the release of the film, Botet starred in several more little-known Spanish TV series, and in 2007 he took part in the zombie franchise "Reportage". This film was a huge success all over the world, and proposals for Javier from Spanish directors followed one after another.

An interesting moment: in the horror films "Report", "Mara" and in Guillermo del Toro's films "Mama" and "Crimson Peak", the actor appears in the form of female ghosts and monsters. The peculiarity of Javier Botet's play lies in his talented ability to embody on the screens such characters that no one else but this actor could play. Because of this, by the way, tapes with his participation are often criticized for the abundance of computer graphics - they simply cannot believe that all the characters are played by a person.

On the vastness of the Internet, a recording with terrible screen tests has even been preserved, which attracted the attention of many people. Later, del Toro invited the artist to play the roles of three different ghosts at once in the film "Crimson Peak".

In addition to acting, Javier Botet expanded his filmography in 2013, acting as a screenwriter, director and producer in the film "In the end, we all die." The film "The Survivor", for which Leonardo DiCaprio received the "Oscar", also did not go without Javier. He embodied a creepy character that was the main character in a nightmare.

In parallel, work was going on in the horror-thriller "On the Other Side of the Door", directed by Johannes Roberts. There, the Spaniard appears before the audience in the guise of a four-armed Indian demon named Mitru, who terrorizes a young American couple.

Since 2017, the artist has been participating in major projects and has already managed to star in such films as "It" and "Slenderman".

In his free time, Javier likes to travel and go out with friends. He evaluates his work from positive sides, he likes to meet and communicate with different people, it brings him pleasure and joy. And the actor always notes that the disease does not interfere with his life in any way, he has long learned to extract advantages from this.
