Benny Ibarra

Benny Ibarra, born September 8, 1970, right in the heart of Mexico City, is basically a legend in the Mexican entertainment scene. He’s done it all—acting, composing, singing, you name it. If you’ve watched “No se aceptan devoluciones” (Instructions Not Included, 2013), you’ve probably caught a glimpse of his work, either on screen or behind the scenes. That movie? Massive hit, by the way. And then there’s “Sexo y otros secretos” (2007), a TV series that kind of peeled back the curtain on relationships and all the messy stuff nobody wants to talk about at family dinner. Benny brought a certain realness to the show—a sort of honesty you don’t see every day. Jump ahead to “Un Padre No Tan Padre” (2016), another film that landed with audiences, mixing comedy and family drama in a way that actually felt genuine instead of cheesy. Benny’s ability to slip into different roles—sometimes charming, sometimes dead serious—sets him apart from a lot of actors who stick to one lane. Oh, and if you’re curious about his personal life (because, let’s be real, who isn’t?), he’s married to Celina del Villar and they’ve got one kid together. But honestly, it’s his versatility that keeps people coming back. Whether he’s belting out a tune or anchoring a scene on screen, Benny Ibarra manages to stay relevant. Decades in the spotlight, and he’s still not phoning it in.
