EXCLUSIVE: Mexican actress Adriana Paz, co-star of Cannes and Oscar winner Emilia Pérez, has signed with UK and U.S.-based management and production company 42.
A three-time winner of Mexico’s Ariel Awards — including Best Actress for La Tirisia and Best Supporting Actress for Hilda and La Caridad, Paz also earned a Goya Award nomination in Spain for El Autor. Her first Ariel nomination came back in 2009 for Rudo Y Cursi and she was also nominated last year for Dead Man’s Switch.
Two years ago she was jointly awarded the Cannes Best Actress prize with her fellow stars of Emilia Perez, Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, and Selena Gomez. In the acclaimed crime-musical Paz plays Epifanía Flores, Emilia Perez’s lover.
Paz recently starred in Sundance 2026 title The Huntress, Suzanne Andrews Correa’s film in which an abduction escalates into a political conspiracy.
Coming up the actress has a key role in Ben Affleck’s Animals and stars in Diego Luna’s next film A Mouthful of Ash. The latter reunites Paz with her Rudo Y Cursi co-star, Luna.
Paz continues to be repped by Eliseo Ruiz and Raul Simancas.
