Ten years ago Luis Castilleja was a free-wheeling creative, seeking his fortune as an actor in Hollywood, and enjoying the liberal Los Angeles lifestyle. Now he is better known as El Temach, Latin America's biggest manosphere influencer, whose misogynistic and hyper-masculine content has gained him more than 11 million social media followers.

His sister Alex says his transformation is shocking and they no longer speak.

"I don't like saying El Temach because for me he's a completely different person. So I'm sister with the human that he was," she says.
