Pablco Escobar looked like Wagner Moura


Those 2 seconds we got of Pablo Escobar, was that the same actor who plays him in Narcos?

Impossible to tell. Would have been a nice touch, but I feel like it'd have got some coverage on movie blogs etc. as a cameo. Could just as easily have been Andrés Parra (from El Patrón del Mal)

I loved that moment though, probably my favourite scene of the film. And even though it was so little screen time, the actor who played Gerardo Moncada (Cesare Taurasi) was so compelling! Really intimidating, and he had this aura of power. Very cool scene.

Wagner is considerably slimmer than real life Pablo.
The actor they chose for that brief scene is not him.

Nah. Although seen only briefly, the guy in this actually looked like Escobar.
