Juan José Padilla is a Spanish matador, also known by his professional nickname "Cyclone Jerez". Once, his performance ended unsuccessfully - after a terrible collision with a bull, he lost his left eye, and his face was partially paralyzed. Just 5 months after the injury, Padilla returned to the arena.
It is known that Juan José Padilla, recognized as one of the best matadors of our time, enjoys honor and fame in Spain. In 1998, he became the protagonist of the film called ‘Torrero’ (‘Torero’).
