This is The Queerty Interview, where we bring you conversations with the most exciting LGBTQ+ voices in entertainment, activism, and beyond.
In this episode, we’re untangling the web of Kiss of the Spider Woman with breakout star Tonatiuh. Adapted from the Tony-winning Broadway musical, and the Oscar-winning film before it, the Bill Condon–directed feature transports audiences to an Argentinian prison in the early ’80s, where queer political prisoner Molina shares a cell with a revolutionary named Valentin.
As Molina passes the time recounting his favorite movie musical, the story bursts into a dazzling Technicolor fantasy of song and dance, starring Jennifer Lopez as the titular Spider Woman. But even opposite an icon like J.Lo, Tonatiuh more than holds their own, playing both Molina and the larger-than-life Kendall Nesbitt, a pivotal character in the film-within-a-film.
With Kiss of the Spider Woman now in theaters, Tonatiuh opens up about the deeper meaning of their dual roles, why they see the film as a love letter to queer and Latino communities, and which J.Lo song they’d sneak onto the soundtrack if they could.
