Actor Leonardo Benítez has returned to Cuba, putting an end to the speculations of recent weeks suggesting he had left the island for good. In an Instagram post by Tahimí Alvariño, Leonardo is seen sharing moments with her and fellow actors George Abreu and Xavier Chao.
Since last June, Leonardo had been posting pictures with his partner Celia Pérez from various European countries, which sparked rumors that he might have left Cuba permanently, much like many of his colleagues. However, the actor continued to enjoy his vacation, ignoring the online gossip. Now, his return to Cuba has been confirmed.
Leonardo is currently involved in a new project, the soap opera “Sábados de Gloria,” directed by Ernesto Fiallo and Tamara Castellanos, where he will portray a chef. Another actor who recently returned to Cuba after weeks in Spain is Maikel Amelia, who had mentioned being in the Iberian country without a return ticket.
