The popular performer has caused a social media stir which began with his appearance in one of Shakira’s new music videos, Puntería.
Shakira has made a powerful comeback. The Colombian artist, who faced a challenging period due to her tax issues and her breakup with Gerard Piqué, has released a new album: ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran’ (’Women Don’t Cry Anymore’). This album marks Shakira’s final farewell to her former partner of 12 years.
The musical project also features Cardi B, with whom she collaborated on the song ‘Puntería,’ which has garnered considerable acclaim from her audience.
Lucien Laviscount goes Greek with Shakira
The music video for this track, inspired by Ancient Greek mythology, showcases both artists exuding sensuality and empowerment. Additionally, it features a surprise guest appearance that has caused a stir on social media. Lucien Laviscount, who seems to share great chemistry and rapport with Shakira, appears in the video, as evidenced by the romantic and sensual images they shared on their social media platforms prior to the album’s release. “Perfecting the aim with Lucien Laviscount in ‘Puntería’,” were the words that accompanied the posts.
Many fans have noted the striking resemblance he bears to Lewis Hamilton, whom Shakira was rumoured to be involved with following her split from Piqué.
The career of Lucien Laviscount
The charming actor, who holds British nationality with French and Greek roots, rose to prominence through his role in the second season of the Netflix series ‘Emily in Paris,’ portraying the character Alfie, the protagonist’s boyfriend. However, even at the age of ten, he was already appearing in advertising campaigns for well-known brands in the British Isles.
This opportunity led to other challenges, including roles in BBC programmes such as ‘Clocking Off’ and “‘ohnny and the Bomb.’ In 2011, the young actor also made an appearance on ‘Celebrity Big Brother,’ a British version of the reality show ‘Big Brother,’ where he finished in fifth place.
Years later, Laviscount made his breakthrough in the world of acting in the likes of ‘One Night in Istanbul,’ ‘Honeytrap,’ ‘Runaway,’ ‘Threesome,’ and ‘Supernatural,’ among other productions. His aforementioned inclusion in the cast of the series ‘Emily in Paris,’ though, was what brought him significant fame, and now the links with Shakira are going to keep him in the celebrity news for other reasons.
