Performers - Part 68

 Juan Pablo di Pace

Juan Pablo di Pace is an Argentine actor born in 1979.  He began his career in England, where he appeared naked in a crowd scene in the Royal Opera House's production of the opera Rigoletto in 2001.  Years later, he became aware that the Royal Opera House was running a poster with a nude photo of him (above) to advertise another production of Rigoletto that di Pace was not in.

Another version of the poster (above) extended the cloth to cover the nudity.  Di Pace protested about the poster.  In the press, it was reported that he was upset that his naked image had been airbrushed to reduce the size of his penis.  Actually, he was protesting the use of his image without payment and without his consent.  The opera house stopped using the image.

In case you're curious, here's a video of his brief nude appearance in the opera.

He has also appeared nude in movies and on TV.  Above, he went skinny-dipping in the 2005 British film Survival Island.

He then moved to Spain, where he starred in the 2011 season of the Spanish TV series Física o Química (above).  In 2013 he moved to the U.S., where he appeared in the TV series Dallas.

In 2019 Di Pace came out publicly as gay.  He starred in the 2023 gay comedy-drama film The Mattachine Family, above.
