COThe Colombian actor John Leguizamo has joined the star cast of 'The Odyssey,' a cinematic adaptation of Homer's epic poem directed by Christopher Nolan. The film features Hollywood stars such as Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Benny Safdie, and Charlize Theron. In the movie, Leguizamo portrays Eumeo, the swineherd of Ithaca, a loyal figure who remains faithful to Odysseus despite his twenty-year absence. The role requires significant physical transformation, including four hours of makeup and facial prosthetics to simulate advanced aging. Leguizamo described the process as challenging, involving contact lenses designed to mimic Homeric blindness theories. Born in Bogotá, Leguizamo began his career in the U.S. over four decades ago, establishing himself as a versatile entertainer across acting, comedy, drama, and production.
