The actress revealed that she started hormone therapy last July and that her entire family has been incredibly supportive.

He said it was a very natural thing for everyone in my family and ‘almost something they expected to happen’.

Lux added, “I’m not worried about seeing my old photos.”

He said: ‘The same thing happens to me in the theatre: I see someone doing what he loves.’

Lux’s journey

Before coming out as transgender, Lux first came out as gay, then identified as non-binary, which eventually led to the realization that she was a woman.

‘I think if I was confident enough I would have transitioned as a teenager. I trusted my classmates at school

‘It’s much simpler for me to move through the world as a woman, but I still advocate for non-binary identities to have a place in society,’ she explained.

‘Coming out of my closet as a gay man didn’t cost me anything, but that wasn’t who I was. “It was just a step on the stairs, but it wasn’t me,” he said. “It was an easy thing to say,” he said of opening up, “but the truth was, ‘Oh, if you knew what I really felt…’

Lux said the transgender community is willing to fight for their rights.

‘We need good, smart, knowledgeable trans activists who can be a strong voice against transphobia, homophobia and racism,’ he said.

Pedro’s close bond with Lux

Lux noted that Pedro was an ‘important part’ of her journey (pictured together at the LACMA Art and Film Gala in November 2023)

Pedro was an ‘important part’ of her journey, Lux recalls: ‘When I formally told him about my transition via FaceTime, he asked me how I was feeling… because I remember him being anxious.

‘I told him, ‘I’m happy.’ His response was: “Perfect, it’s incredible.”

Pedro paid tribute to Lux when the magazine was released, sharing its cover on Instagram with the caption: ‘Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux’, which translates to ‘My sister, my heart, our Lux’.

After Lux came out as transgender, Pedro told Esquire that her “protective side is killer, but I need her more than she needs me.”

He added: ‘He is and always has been one of the strongest people and personalities I have ever known.’

The actor also showed his support for the LGBTQIA community on Instagram by sharing rainbow flag photos following attacks on trans rights in March 2023.

Childhood and career

Born in 1992, Lux is the youngest of her three siblings; sister Javiera and brothers Nicolás and Pedro, 17 years older (taken in 2017)

The actor previously gave Esquire an insight into his family life, saying: ‘He took over the house immediately. When my sister and I went to visit, we felt like intruders.

He starred in The Prince, Invisible Heroes and the Chilean drama series Los 80.

Lux also starred in Narcos with her brother and modeled.
