Kate del Castillo, the star of La Reina del Sur, does not regret becoming a major player in the El Chapo saga but admitted that she “hated” the fact that she had to have a double for Mexico-set scenes of the Telemundo narco drama.
Del Castillo, speaking on day one of TCA, said that she was not able to shoot her scenes of the drama, which returns to the NBCU-backed Spanish-language broadcaster after eight years, because of “her little thing” with the drug lord. However, she revealed that she has since returned to Mexico.
The Jane the Virgin star helped set up a meeting between Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán in 2015 and Sean Penn in 2015. She was not charged with any crimes as a result of the incident but has accused former President Enrique Pena Nieto’s prosecutors of leaking information that she was linked to drug trafficking.
