Adriana Barrientos Castro (born 16 April 1980) is a Chilean model.
Early career
Barrientos began her modeling career in 2004 in morning television programme Buenos Días a Todos of Televisión Nacional de Chile with the host Felipe Camiroaga, and in Trato Hecho hosted by Mario Kreutzberger "Don Francisco" of Canal 13.
On August 26, 2004, Barrientos participated in Miss Chile where she came the 2nd. finalist. On 6 October, the same year she participated in the Miss World Chile, is named best swimsuit. In April 2005 she traveled to Guangzhou, China, as Miss Chile to participate in the beauty contest Miss International Asia-Pacific, earning the 8th place. In 2005, Barrientos was featured in a television commercial of cream Soprole.
But it was in 2006 and due to a discussion with media model María José López, for a romance with the Chilean football soccer player Luis "Mago" Jiménez, in the show business programme Mira Quién Habla of the private television channel Mega, that she made known and she passed to be a panelist of that programme.
Transition to television
Barrientos became involved in the nighttime television show Morandé con Compañía, hosted by Kike Morandé, where she worked as a model, dancer, and actress in comedy sketches. In 2009, she participated in the Canal 13 reality show 1910, becoming one of the four finalists. During the show, she met her future boyfriend, Daniel Pinto.
In February 2010, Barrientos worked as a reporter and entertainment commentator for Alfombra Roja, with significant involvement in covering the Viña del Mar International Song Festival. Later, in April, she competed in the dance competition Fiebre de Baile III on Chilevisión, where she was the 13th contestant to be eliminated.
In early 2011, Barrientos appeared in a revue show with comedian Ernesto Belloni (Ché Copete). She also traveled to Argentina with Nicole Moreno (Luli), where she appeared on several Argentine TV shows, including Soñando por Bailar: el debate, Éste es el Show, and Bien de Verano. Upon returning to Chile, she joined Chilevisión’s entertainment show SQP as a guest panelist.
During the 2011 Viña del Mar International Song Festival, Barrientos ran for “Reina del Festival” (Queen of the Festival), but finished last, receiving only 7 out of 338 votes from journalists covering the event, reflecting the public’s lukewarm reception during the candidates’ official presentation.
Throughout 2011, Barrientos made guest appearances on Canal 13’s En Su Propia Trampa and the telenovela Peleles. In October of that year, she returned to Argentina to appear on Infama, a celebrity show on América TV. She was also cast by Carmen Barbieri for the revue theater production Barbierísima in 2012, becoming the first Chilean to regularly perform in this type of show in Argentina. Additionally, she participated in Bailando por un Sueño 2011, hosted by Marcelo Tinelli, where her performance and speaking style attracted criticism from figures like Moria Casán and Cinthia Fernández, but increased her visibility on Argentine television.
After finishing Barbierísima, Barrientos returned to Chile in February 2012 to compete in the fifth season of Fiebre de Baile, where she reached the semifinals. She also made an appearance at the Gala of the Viña del Mar Festival that year and was later invited to the morning show TelefeAM in Argentina, where her outfit—featuring the Union Jack—drew criticism from some Argentine commentators. Additionally, she appeared as a guest on the TVN docu-reality show Adopta un Famoso.
Current career
In late 2011, Barrientos joined Carmen Barbieri’s theatrical show Barbierísima. She took on the role of the lead vedette, performing alongside Andrea Estévez and Claudia Albertario in the musical revue.
Currently, she is active on the adult platform Onfayer, where she provides exclusive ... photos and videos for paying subscribers.
