Former Mexican national team football star Luis Hernández made a special appearance inside the house of the reality competition series La Casa de los Famosos All Stars on Tuesday. The visit was announced following speculation sparked by a sign reading 'Se renta' placed on the leader's suite, which was closed after contestant Luca Onestini secured the position.
Hernández, widely known by his nickname El Matador Hernandez, is recognized for his prolific career as a striker for the Mexican national team. His full name is Luis Hernández Carreón.
During his playing career in the 1990s and early 2000s, Luis Hernandez El Matador was a prominent figure in Mexican football. He is particularly remembered for his performance in the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France, where he scored four goals for Mexico.
His career included stints with several clubs, including Monterrey, Necaxa, Tigres UANL, LA Galaxy, and América. He also represented Mexico in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. His distinctive long blonde hair was a trademark throughout his playing days.
The visit by the former athlete provided a moment of interaction for the current cast of the reality show as the season progresses towards its final stages. Recent events inside the house have included weekly challenges, nominations, and eliminations.
Last week, contestants faced a salvation challenge, with Paulo Quevedo securing the benefit. The show has seen several contestants eliminated since its start, leaving a smaller group competing for the final prize.
The arrival of a guest like Hernández offers a shift in the daily routine for the participants, who have been living together under constant surveillance. Footage released by the network showed Hernández entering the property. Telemundo is airing the program.
Recent episodes detailed contestant positioning ahead of eliminations and Maripily Rivera's entrance as a guest. EXA reported on the show's dynamics, including Niurka Marcos positioning against Dania Méndez despite being in the same group.
The visit by the former football star underscores the show's approach to bringing in external personalities to engage with the cast. More details of his time inside the house are expected to be featured in upcoming broadcasts. Extra Cancha detailed his background upon the announcement of the visit.
