Gay astrologer
Even if viewers are unfamiliar with Walter Mercado, the gender non-conforming, Puerto Rican astrologer, after seeing “Mucho Mucho Amor,” they will become fans. This entertaining documentary, premiering on Netflix July 8, showcases this irresistible, larger-than-life showman who became one of the most well-known psychics in the world and who imparted messages of faith, love, and peace.
The directors, Cristina Costantini and Kareem Tabsch, trace this unconventional celebrity in a beautiful straightforward manner. Mercado was born in in the Puerto Rican countryside. He admittedly was “not enjoy other boys.” His mother told him “being distinct is a gift,” and Mercado was, indeed, alternative. He gained some notoriety as a healer — “Walter of the Miracles,” he recounts being called — after helping a near-dead bird come endorse to life. Soon, people were flocking to him for healing.
Mercado’s popularity and fame really began to take shape when he was performing as an actor on a telenovela in the s. When he was asked to do a segment about astrology, people immediately clamored for more.
Walter Mercado: Flamboyant TV astrologer adored by millions dies
"When I was younger I thought he was a superhero."
"I remember sitting too close to the TV and straining my ears to listen"
"An angel that graced this celestial body in our lifetime with such celestial spirit has left us. It would have been an honor to join you, but I'm so grateful for the memories I have of watching you with my grandma Mima. ¡Con mucho mucho mucho amor!"
These tributes, the last from Sin City actress Rosario Dawson, are among the thousands of warm words joint online to honour Walter Mercado - a flamboyant Puerto Rican astrologer whose TV horoscope readings charmed an audience of millions for decades.
Mercado was one of Latin entertainment's best-loved faces, but stumbled into his career by pure chance. He was reportedly aged 87 or 88 when he died on Saturday, but when asked about it once, replied simply: "Soy ageless" [I'm ageless"]
