Anton Yelchin muere a los 27 años

Terrible noticia de última hora: Anton Yelchin ha fallecido. El actor estadounidense (de origen ruso) murió esta mañana a los 27 años, según ha confirmado su publicista, al estrellarse su coche. Al parecer, el accidente ocurrió delante de su casa, en extrañas circunstancias: la policía declara que Yelchin bajó del coche para ir a recoger el correo, el vehículo se deslizó por la pendiente y lo aplastó. Cruel destino...

A la tragedia por la pérdida de alguien tan joven se suma que Anton Yelchin había demostrado mucho talento en su corta carrera. Posiblemente su papel más famoso es el simpático Chekov en el reboot de 'Star Trek' (2009) pero sus mejores interpretaciones podemos encontrarlas en 'Alpha Dog' (2006), 'Charlie Bartlett' (2007), 'Como locos' ('Like Crazy', 2011) y la reciente 'Green Room' (2015); también encarnó a Kyle Reese en 'Terminator: Salvation' (2009). Será raro verle este verano en 'Star Trek: Más allá' ('Star Trek Beyond', 2016).

A continuación puedes leer las primeras reacciones en Twitter de amigos y compañeros del intérprete:

I loved Anton Yelchin so much. He was a true artist - curious, beautiful, courageous. He was a great pal and a great son. I'm in ruins.
