  Durante años, el rostro de Rafael Amaya ha estado asociado con poder, peligro y seducción. Como Aurelio Casillas, el protagonista de El Señor de los Cielos , fue el símbolo de una masculinidad feroz: el hombre que lo tenía todo y que no temía a nada. Pero detrás del personaje, hay un ser humano que aprendió —con golpes, risas y lágrimas— que la vida no siempre se conquista a balazos ni con glamour… sino con humildad, humor y una cerveza en la mano. La frase “Salí a buscar el amor de mi vida y regresé con un cartón de chelas” no es solo una broma viral. Es un reflejo del nuevo Rafael Amaya. Un hombre que, después de haberlo tenido todo y perder casi todo, ha decidido reírse de sí mismo, abrazar la imperfección y celebrar los pequeños placeres que antes pasaban desapercibidos. Hubo un tiempo en que Rafael vivía en modo Aurelio : siempre acelerado, rodeado de fama, luces y ruido. El éxito de la serie lo lanzó a la cima, pero también lo sumergió en una soledad silenciosa.

Author, cartoonist, musician and television star Barry Fantoni has died at the age of 85, it has been confirmed. The BBC star died of a heart attack at his home in Italy

BBC star Barry Fantoni has died at the age of 85, after suffering a heart attack. While best known for his cartoon work with Private Eye, he also hosted the BBC show A Whole Scene Going in 1966.

His work on the show won him Male TV Personality of the Year. The show looked at trends in arts, as well as featuring performances from the likes of The Who and The Kinks.

Barry had also previously written scripts for BBC show That Was The Week That Was in 1962. And decades later he appeared on BBC Radio 5 Live's Fighting Talk in 2007, though finished in last place with 28 points.

Barry was a man of many talents, also a writer, artist and jazz musician. He created Neasden FC for Private Eye, with the publication confirming his death.

The publication's editor Ian Hislop said in tribute: "He was an integral part of Private Eye's comic writing team from the early days in the sixties and I hugely enjoyed collaborating with him when I joined the magazine later on.

"He created formats and characters and jokes that are still running and he was for a long time the voice of the great poet and obituarist E J Thribb. So farewell then Barry."

It was confirmed that Barry had died at his home in Turin, Italy on May 20.

Barry grew up in the East End of London, going on to study at the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts. It was there that he formed a jazz group, film society and drama group, however he was later expelled.

In his early 20s, he joined Private Eye, appearing in well over 1,000 issues until he retired in 2010.

Both of these incarnations are unimaginable today: a docile, amenable dolly bird hanging around Cliff and the Shadows, and a tol...
