Shakira Explains Why She Used Real Boyfriend In Video

Shakira spoke with the MGN about her decision to use boyfriend Antonio de la Rua, who is the son of a former Argentine president, as her boyfriend in the ‘Underneath Your Clothes’ video. It’s a very personal song and I wrote it for Antonio in the first place,” she explained. “The video needed some romantic scenes and I felt I was not able to do them with some model or actor I had only literally just shaken hands with. I don’t want to kiss a guy on the neck when I hardly know his name. So I told Antonio I needed his help. I told him he would be fine and in the end he had no choice.”
