Jamie Lorente Kisses Men in New Netflix Musical ‘Disco, Ibiza, Locomía’ and the Haters Can’t Handle It

Since then, Lorente has played the title role in Amazon Prime’s historical drama about an 11th century knight and warlord The Cid and played a member of a hidden cartel in the 2024 Netflix mafia series Iron rule (Man of Hierro).

In a particularly hot scene with porn star Bastian Karim, Lorente arrives at a gay party and sees several men around him having sex with each other.

Discotheque, Ibiza, Locomia

Now Lorente is making headlines for his starring role in the new Netflix film Discotheque, Ibiza, Locomía, which focuses on the rise of the 1980s Spanish queer pop group Locomía.

Lorente plays the role of Xavier Font, the gay frontman of the group that first conquered the clubs of Ibiza in 1984 with flamboyant fashion and New Wave music and later caused a stir in the Spanish-speaking world.

Their massive shoulder pads, pleated ensembles and twirling fans quickly became Locomía’s trademarks, helping to establish them as a transgressive cultural phenomenon that filled concert halls from Mexico to Argentina. Fans of ‘80s bands like Duran Duran, Culture Club, Wham! and Dead or Alive may want to take a deeper dive.

Watch Lorente revive Locomía’s 1989 Spanish Euro-pop hit “Loco Mia,” then watch the band’s actual performance from back in the day.

The new film also shows the band’s off-stage adventures, as Lorente has adventures with several male characters, including Mexican actor Alejandro Speitzer, who plays fellow Locomia member Carlos Armas.

In a recently shared clip highlighting some of the film’s most sensual scenes, Lorente proves he went all out to execute the man-on-man action down to the last detail.

Whether you speak Spanish or not, no translation is needed.

The blow back

Unfortunately, despite Lorente’s history of LGBTQ-centric roles and series, some homophobic internet trolls found the kissing scenes offensive and left a flood of hateful comments in the clip.

But Lorente, who has two children with her partner Marta Goenaga and is outspoken about her homosexuality, was quick to silence the homophobes by criticizing them in a clip on Instagram.

“Well, it happened again. It surprises me less and less, but it hurts me more and more,” Lorente began his retort.

“The last post on my wall, which is a compilation of kisses from the latest movie that Locomía released on Netflix, and the amount of homophobic, violent, unpleasant comments is disturbing. I wish you all much love, that you have a happy life without anyone hating or judging you for who you are.”

He ended by telling the trolls who spread hate towards the queer community to unfollow him. “Stop following me and I don’t give a fuck, I don’t give a fuck at all. I’d rather you not be in a place like my profile.”

Kike Maíllo, the director of Discotheque, Ibiza, Locomia, echoed Lorente’s words by expressing his pride in the film and its message of inclusivity, respect and love.

“This film is about everyone, but especially about those who were rarely invited to the party,” Maíllo wrote.

“Today I feel prouder than ever to have written and directed this film. Because, as we intuitively sense, we are still far from respecting our neighbor. We are still far from understanding and loving each other.”

In their original form, Locomia released three albums before splitting up in 1993.

Over the years the group has been revived with new line-ups and is currently about to embark on a tour to celebrate Locomia’s 40th anniversary.

Discotheque, Ibiza, Locomia is currently streaming on Netflix in Spain and Latin America, but has no release date in the United States yet. We’ll keep you posted when the streaming giant gives us access to this euphoric film that chronicles this moment in queer music history. In the meantime, here are some more images of Lorente and Locomía (past and present).
