He is also cousin of [[Carmen Ordóñez]]. His Godfather was [[Luchino Visconti]]. ===Career=== In 1971, Bosé started a career as an actor, participating in various movies. However, he did not make that many films, and in 1975 he decided a career change was due and started exploring his talents as a singer. By the hand of Camilo Blanes he recorded his first singles. Some years later Bosé signed a contract with [[CBS Records]] in 1977 and he remained with them until 1984. In 1983, 1984 and 1985, he participated in the "Llena Tu Cabeza De Rock" television specials on [[Puerto Rico]] [[WAPA-TV]]. But it was in 1985 that he became an international superstar, when his song "Amante bandido" rose to the top of the charts all over [[Latin America]] and in [[Spain]], while he started to decline in [[Italy]], where he had a parallel career, singing either in [[Italian language|Italian]] and in [[English language|English]] - he would go back to the top there in 1994, by winning Festivalbar (the second musical event after the [[Sanremo Music Festival]]) for the third time. The video to that song also became one of the most widely seen Spanish music videos, with Bose playing both a [[Superman]] style superhero and an [[Indiana Jones]] type of adventurer in it. Bosé has been a force in Latin music with a career that has spanned 21 albums, roles in more than 35 films, his own television show, and work as a theatre director. With [[Pablo Picasso]] and [[Ernest Hemingway]] among his family friends, Bosé grew up in the arts, constantly traveling around [[Spain]] and to [[Milan]], [[New York]], [[London]] and [[Paris]]. He made his film debut at the age of 15, and at age 21, he began his singing career which eventually led to international pop stardom. Defying the contemporary formula for pop success, his music has been described as a global fusion of many musical influences. At the center of his music is all the passion and expression of a Latin artist, yet Miguel Bosé has constantly incorporated more diverse musical elements than many of the genre's crossover pop stars. In 2007, to celebrate his 30 years as a singer, he released ''[[Papito (album)|Papito]]'', an album that contains remakes of his previous songs, re-interpreted in duets with [[Juanes]], [[Alejandro Sanz]], [[Fangoria]], [[Ivete Sangalo]], [[Laura Pausini]], [[Shakira]], [[Julieta Venegas]], [[Ricky Martin]], [[Amaia Montero]] (former member of the Spanish band [[La Oreja de Van Gogh]]), and [[Michael Stipe]] from [[R.E.M.]], along with many other singers. Three singles were released off ''Papito'': the first is a re-make of his hit "Nena", featuring [[Paulina Rubio]]; the second was "Morenamía", with Julieta Venegas. The most notorious{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}} song of the album was the third single "Como un lobo" featuring his niece [[Bimba Bosé]]. It won a [[Latin Grammy]] for best song, and became the best selling download of Spain in 2007. In 2008, Colombian President [[Álvaro Uribe]] offered him [[Colombian nationality law|Colombian citizenship]] because of his efforts towards peace in Colombia, including his participation in two concerts in 2008. On March 16 of 2010 he received the Colombian citizenship during a ceremony in the presidential palace, Casa de Nariño.
