He reason why Bárbara Rey gave herself this name The one we all know her for has nothing to do with King Emeritus, something everyone has taken for granted over the years. Beyond rumors about a possible love affair and photographs of the two published in a Dutch media outlet, this star had an artistic career that took her to the top. Her talents as a dancer and singer accompanied her, as did her beauty from a young age, although to succeed required a new name different from the one she had.
Bárbara Rey received this name for this curious reason
It was during a visit to the program ‘El Hormiguero’, on Antena 3, that Bárbara Rey revealed one of the unknowns in her life that has caused the most comments and rumors to circulate. There are many theories as to why this curious stage name exists. In reality, this woman’s name is María Margarita García García, a name rarely given to a star.
In those times, the artists changed their namethey opted for a striking first and last name. Like Norma Duval, a Marilyn Monroe, with her original name and her French first name to give her a more international impact. The case of Bárbara Rey is no different, although for many it is a clear allusion to the King Emeritus, the reality is that it has nothing to do with him.
As he explained to Pablo Motos in ‘El hormiguero’: “At that time, Fernando Rey was there which had a huge success and combined Barbara’s name with Rey’s. The name was more or less clear to them: “This composition suited her, and at that time very few people were called Barbara.
In the same program there was time to talk about the Emeritus King briefly, when Bárbara confessed that she had received a call from him when she was a young star triumphing on stage. He admitted to Motos that it “complicated his life”. Although everything happens for a reason, if it hadn’t happened now we wouldn’t be talking about him, although I don’t think he would find this conversation very funny, or maybe he would, he must be very bored there.
He This woman’s passage through the most successful program Television was such a success for her that she decided to tell the truth and eliminate any inappropriate comments. She told the truth about her name and the rumors that spoke about her and even led to television series.
