Alfonso Obregón, the voice of Shrek, was arrested by Mexican authorities for alleged abuse of a student.
This morning, agents of the Investigative Police of the Attorney General’s Office of Mexico City arrested the voice actor at the capital’s airport, according to Carlos Jiménez, a reporter specializing in crime reports.
“He is going to prison,” the journalist wrote on his social media account X.
Following the news, a user on the same network uploaded an audio recording allegedly from Obregón, in which he asked her to send him a full-body photo. The girl had contacted him when she found out that he was looking for an assistant.
After receiving the image, Obregón did not contact her again. “At the time, it seemed a bit strange to me,” the girl wrote.

Obregón, 64, has voiced characters such as Bugs Bunny in the 1990s and Fox Mulder, the protagonist of the series “The X-Files,” as well as being a recurring voice for actors such as Chris Rock and Chris Tucker.
He made his debut in dubbing when he was just eight years old, lending his vocal cords to little Eddie in the television series “Buscando novia a papá” (Seeking a Dad’s Girlfriend); he studied acting at the INBA and became artistic director of the company Audiomaster 3000, a subsidiary of Televisa and one of the most important and historic in the industry.
In 2001, although he already had an extensive career in dubbing, his career exploded in the media when he gave life to the green ogre in Shrek, which has so far had four installments and a fifth is in the works.
Obregón is someone who is active on social media, where he constantly makes reference to Shrek. His most recent message was a couple of days ago where he recalled his work in “Norbit” playing the character of Rasputia.
