The moment Iván set foot in Spain’s most prestigious school, heads turned, including Patrick (played by Manu Ríos), who was still reeling from losing Ander (Arón Piper) and Omar (Omar Ayuso) in Season 4.

In Elite, Iván is the son of fictional famous soccer player Cruz Carvalho (Carloto Cotta) but who is the actor who plays Iván? Newsweek has everything you need to know.

Who Plays Iván in Elite Season 5?

André Lamoglia stars as Iván Carvalho in Elite Season 5.

Lamoglia, 24, is a Brazilian actor from Rio de Janeiro. He joined the cast of Elite alongside Valentina Zenere, who stars as new girl and Instagram sensation, Isadora.

Before he made his debut as Iván in Elite, Lamoglia was well known for playing Rafael in the Disney Brazil show Juacas and Felipe in The Traitor.

He is currently starring as Luan in Bia alongside Isabela Souza and Julio Peña, a role he has played since 2020.

Lamoglia’s other credits include Segredos de Justiça, 1 Contra Todos, Rock Story, De Novo, Não and Eu Sou Mais Eu.

His older brother is actor Victor Lamoglia who has starred in Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, The Followers, and Chain Reaction.

On the day of Elite Season 5’s release, André Lamoglia took to Instagram to say thank you to the fans and to reflect on the highly-anticipated new series.

Lamgolia wrote under a series of images from the new season that he hoped fans would feel “represented” and audiences would “cry” and “laugh.”

The post in full read [translated]: “Season 5 of @elitenetflix, now available worldwide!

“Yeah, the day has come. To be here today debuting a new season of a series the size that is Elite, is a source of great pride. I am very happy with the result of this work, done with great dedication and joy.

“I want to thank you for the messages I’ve been receiving, from you who support me, who are taking a little time out of your day to give me your support through a message. And thanks to you too who believed in my work.

“Anyway, that they enjoy this trip a lot, that they feel represented, that they cry, that they laugh…

In Elite, Lamoglia’s character Iván finds himself in a complicated love triangle and later, between himself, Patrick, and his own father Cruz. At one point, Patrick’s twin sister Ari (Carla Díaz) found herself involved.

Thankfully, all of the drama aside, Iván and Patrick finally ended up together, hopefully setting up a happy story for them in Elite Season 6 which has already been given the green light.

Fans of “Ivantrick” have been sharing their love for the couple online. One fan tweeted: “Patrick and Ivan was the best thing to happen to elite, they need endgame #Elite5”

A second fan wrote: “Patrick and iván’s smiles when they look at each other are everything this is perfect,” and a third fan chimed in: “Patrick and Ivan the only plot that matters in elite 5”

Elite Season 5 is streaming on Netflix now.
