Career

[edit]

Óscar Jaenada was born on 4 May 1975 in Esplugues de Llobregat, Spain.[2][3] He began acting at the age of thirteen, performing in Shakespeare plays.[citation needed]

Jaenada moved to Madrid to improve his career prospects.[citation needed] He obtained several television roles, appearing in 7 vidas and Hospital Central, before landing work in feature films. Some of his early roles were in such productions as Lisístrata (2002) and Descongélate (2003). Shortly afterwards, Achero Mañas offered him the leading role in November (2003). Jaenada was a candidate for the Goya Awards in 2004 as best actor for his role in this production but couldn't attend the ceremony as he was in Argentina filming El juego de la verdad.[citation needed] Upon his return to Spain, he was offered several roles in comedies. Among them was the lead in the film XXL (2004). He also landed a permanent role in the series Javier ya no vive solo.

Just as Jaenada was beginning to feel pigeonholed as a comedian, Jaime Chávarri sent him a script for a film about the life of flamenco singer Camarón de la Isla. Camarón premiered at the San Sebastián International Film Festival in 2005. On 15 December 2005, Jaenada was nominated for the Goya Award for Best Actor in the film. Nine days later, he was nominated for the Silver Frames prize and the Circle of Cinematographic Writers medal. At the beginning of 2006, Jaenada won all three honours.[citation needed] Also in 2006, Jaenada served as master of ceremonies with Candela Peña at the inaugural gala of the Málaga Film Festival. A week later, he obtained a nomination at the Spanish Actors Union for his work with Chávarri.

In 2011, Jaenada obtained a role in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, where he played "the Spaniard", King Ferdinand's most trusted agent and an officer of the Spanish Royal Navy. He returned to the pirate theme in 2011 for the Telecinco series Piratas. In 2015, he confessed that his career in Spanish cinema "was not on the right track", and that the bulk of offers he received came from the Americas.[4]

Personal life

[edit]

Jaenada has a son with actress Barbara Goenaga, with whom he was romantically linked from 2000 until 2012.[citation needed]

In April 2017, he was sentenced to six months in prison for falsifying the official title of recreational boat skipper in a nautical school. Jaenada admitted to the charges and reached an agreement to have the penalty commuted to a €3,600 fine.[5]
