Biography

Eloy was born in Madrid on 19th of February, 1977.[1] He is the son of comedian Eloy Arenas and the artist representative Amelia Azorín, who represented her son through her company Camelion from the beginning of his career until her retirement in 2016.

Thanks to his father he got to know show business from within. When he was five years old Eloy Azorín made a small appearance in a TV program presented by Joaquín Prat and featuring Eloy Arenas, in which he interrupts his father and ends the show saying goodbye to the audience.[2]

Eloy studied at the Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático de Madrid, and his first film appearance was at the age of 19 as the protagonist of "Como un relámpago" (1996) where he shared the bill with Santiago Ramos and Assumpta Serna, directed by Miguel Hermoso. His big break came with "Todo sobre mi madre" (1999), by Pedro Almodóvar, which was awarded the Oscar for best foreign-language film. In this movie, Eloy Azorín plays Esteban, the son of Manuela (Cecilia Roth) whom he asks, as a gift for his eighteenth birthday, to tell him everything about his father, whom he never knew.[3] He has starred in many movies and TV series since then, having won the Best Actor award at the Peñíscola International Comedy Film Festival for his role as Ramón in the movie "Besos para todos".
