PHOTOS: 25 hunky Latin American Netflix stars

We’re suckers for the men of Latin America, but the real question would be, who isn’t? As streaming platforms go, it seems that Netflix has capitalized on this temptation the most from all sides of the spectrum, including launching some of the hottest gay Spanish-language shows and actors.

Of course, an actor doesn’t need to identify as gay for us to make room for him in our hearts. For this reason, we’re paying tribute to some of the hunkiest Latin American Netflix male stars–gay, straight, and everything in between–and it might surprise you that all of them are intertwined in queer entertainment.

Worry about refreshing your Spanish later. Sexy is a universal language. Let’s take a moment to swoon over 25 much-deserving Latin gay actors and allies you can stream on Netflix…

William Levy

Actor William Levy was dubbed the Cuban Brad Pitt for a reason, though Pitt’s abs could never! He’s confessed to growing tired of playing the hunk and wanting to branch out, including taking on gay roles. Netflix seems like the perfect place to debut his acting career as a bottom, but until then, enjoy him in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, Addicted, and the Veil.

Dario Yazbek Bernal

Netflix‘s House of Flowers is one of the most originally queerest things to happen to the streaming platform, which explains why it thrived as a series and then as a movie spinoff. The dark comedy wouldn’t have been complete without Mexican actor Dario Yazbek Bernal taking the role of the bisexual and enigmatic Julián.

Emiliano Zurita

Ugh, you’re sleeping if you haven’t seen Netflix‘s Dance of the 41, an LGBTQ+ drama filled with scandal when a police raid exposed upper echelons of society in drag during a private party (including the son-in-law of the incumbent President of Mexico). Mexican actor Emiliano Zurita plays the son-in-law’s fictional lover, based on a true story that had a lasting impact on Mexico’s queer culture.

Alfonso Herrera

And if you’re wondering who the presidential closeted son-in-law is in Dance of the 41, we couldn’t be more turned on *in Spanish* to report it’s Mexican actor Alfonso Herrera. You might remember him as one of the eight sexy strangers in Netflix‘s Sense 8. So he’s no newbie to causing gay boners on the streaming platform.

Michael Cimino (Love, Victor, mom was puerto rican)

We all thought, “How cute!” watching Michael Cimino as the gay protagonist in the coming-of-age “Love, Victor.” However, we’re feeling perched seeing him on Netflix‘s comedy-drama Never Have I Ever. From empowering queer visibility to being just plain sexy, we love a man who can do both.

Christian Navarro

Puerto Rican-American actor Christian Navarro plays the pivotal gay character on Netflix‘s 13 Reasons Why, and as dark as the show gets, we’re not going to lie and say we haven’t thought about 13 things we want to do with him.

    How come we never hear about the NYC parking enforcement judge any more? And what about that massgae porn freak (who was really hot and very talented) in Tampa who kiilled another man, perhaps his lavah!

    Christian Navarro———————-hello!

    Not to be nitpicky, but isn’t Omar Apollo from…Hobart, Indiana? Yes, his family is Mexican-American, but that doesn’t make him from “Latin America.” I won’t go through the rest, but Queerty, really, do a bit more work. “Latino” (“Latina/Latinx/Latine”) is not the same thing as “Latin American.” Sheesh!

      Hey Kangol, would you mind explaining the difference? I want be better informed, and I think I know what you are referring to when you are talking about the differences between Latino and Latin American, but I am also incredibly white and don’t want speak over someone with more lived experience on the topic.

    Queerty? How could you forget the truly gorgeous Alfonso Herrera from Netflix’s “Invisible City”…?
