Juan García Postigo

Juan García Postigo (born 19 January 1982) is a Spanish actor, model, sommelier, hotelier, entrepreneur, and male beauty pageant titleholder who won the Mister Spain 2006 competition, and then later on won the Mister World 2007 title in Sanya, Hainan, China. He is the first Spaniard to have won the title of Mister World.

As an actor, García is best known for his roles in the television shows Los Serrano (2003), ¡A ver si llego! (2009), and La hora de José Mota (2009).

García was born on 19 January 1982 in Málaga, Costa del Sol, Andalusia, Spain. He attended the Colegio Público Ramón Simonet for his primary education. As a teenager, García played indoor soccer and was his school team's goalkeeper. He was discovered at seventeen (17) years old by Manuel Beltrán, a director of a talent management agency in Málaga, while García was commencing studies for a business management degree at the University of Málaga.

His foray into modeling and beauty pageant competitions, and then consequently acting, was accidental and with much hesitation at first. García's parents, especially his mother, wanted him to pursue and complete his degree before anything else. His parents did not want him to get distracted from his studies.

As a lover of wine, García is also a licensed sommelier with professional training from the Escuela de Cocina de Barcelona, and official certification from the Federación de Asociaciones de Bármanes Españoles (FABE).

As an entrepreneur and hotelier, García is one of three founding partners of the Hotel Málaga Premium. He is co-owner of La Terraza Oasis de Málaga, a terrace bar, and of the Alcazaba Premium Hostel Málaga.

García first trained as a model under a talent management agency in Madrid. A few months after training, he was already walking the runways of several Spanish fashion designers and gracing the catalogs of popular menswear brands in Spain. García's decision to enter pageantry was, at first, made in jest.

While García was working at his brother's bar in Torremolinos, one of his friends dared him to enter the Mister Málaga 2006 competition, a precursory contest that chooses the Málagan representative to the Mister Spain competition. He disclosed in later interviews that the decision to compete at Mister Málaga and then Mister Spain 2006 was "just for fun... to have a good time," and that he did not expect to win both competitions.
