In 2024, 22-year-old Mexican actress and musician Andrea Chaparro gained domestic and international recognition for her exceptional talent. As the eldest daughter of the famous Mexican actor Omar Chaparro, Andrea demonstrated her natural aptitude for the performing arts from an early age. Born on January 26, 2002, in Chihuahua, Mexico, Andrea is the oldest of three children born to Omar and his wife, Lucy, who is widely known on social media as La Mojarrita.
Growing up, Andrea was exposed to Mexico's entertainment industry, mainly through television, where her father gained popularity with his show, "No Manches," which premiered when she was just two years old. Omar Chaparro noted that Andrea exhibited her artistic abilities early on.
Her passion for music, evident from a young age with her fondness for the musical group RBD, culminated in her acting debut in the Netflix remake of "Rebelde," fulfilling a long-held dream for the young actress.
Owing to her interests in music and acting, Andrea Chaparro enrolled in the Televisa Artistic Education Center (CEA) at a young age, graduating at 13. Following her training in Mexico, Andrea continued her artistic development in Los Angeles, where her family relocated to support her father's pursuit of success in Hollywood. This international training has significantly facilitated her triumphant entry into the US market.
In 2022, Andrea's life changed when she landed the role of MJ in "Rebelde" after showcasing her musical talent in videos shared on social media during the pandemic.
"It was amazing, it felt like I was reliving my childhood. I used to sing RBD songs with my friends during sleepovers, and I would even climb on the tables in my house. Playing the role of MJ felt like I was immersing myself in that universe again. It was a beautiful experience filled with love," she said during the series promotion.
After two successful seasons of Rebelde, another significant opportunity came for the actress. Her debut was in the Spanish film "A través del Mar," where she played Vera. Andrea traveled to Costa Brava for this project.
"It's my first time in Barcelona. It's a beautiful city and a beautiful team," the Mexican confessed during an interview with Netflix about the film introducing her to the world of seventh art.
Andrea has gained worldwide recognition through her Netflix projects, making her one of the most renowned figures this year. She recently debuted her third project on the streaming platform "Bandidos" alongside Ester Esposito, Alfonso Dosal, Nicolás Furtado, and Juan Pablo Medina. The first season's success has paved the way for a second installment, marking the beginning of her friendship with Ester Expósito.
Despite her global acclaim, Andrea remains grounded, citing her father's advice as the key to her humility. She continues to make waves in the fashion world, sharing the stage with Paris Jackson at the Desigual fashion show in Barcelona last June. While focusing on acting in her recent projects, Andrea has not abandoned her musical pursuits and continues collaborating with other artists, including Bu Cuarón, daughter of filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón.
