Aitana Sánchez-Gijón and her 'hunk': the debate over the price of youth
At 56, the actress has unleashed a torrent of criticism by talking about her relationship with Maxi Iglesias. What could have been a simple confession has become a mirror of social prejudices. Among insults like "beach bum" or "beach poser," the suspicion surfaces that the young man is in it for the money. "She pays for his whims," reads one comment. But there are also those who defend the relationship: "She looks great for her age. Younger guys are falling apart." The paradox is that the forum where this is being discussed is the Economics one, as if the relationship were a transaction. Is love a market? The question left hanging is whether society tolerates an older man with a young woman better than the other way around. Meanwhile, Aitana carries on as usual, and her 'hunk' has become the target of envy.
