Iglesias in 2008
Iglesias has collaborated with songwriter Guy
Chambers to write "Un Nuovo Giorno", the lead
single from Andrea Bocelli 's first pop album.
The song was later translated into English as
" First Day of My Life" and recorded by Spice
Girl Melanie C . The song has since gone to
become a huge hit throughout Europe, and
peaked in the number one spot in numerous
countries. Iglesias also wrote the single " The
Way " for American Idol runner up Clay Aiken.
Four songs co-written by Iglesias appear on
the UK band The Hollies' current album. Many
times Iglesias has said that should he ever
retire, he wants to write and produce songs for
other artists. In 2010 Idol Allstars 2010
(Swedish Idol Series) released a song "All I
Need Is You" co-written by Iglesias with
Andreas Carlsson, Kalle Engström and Kristian
Lundin . It went straight to iTunes number one.
He also co-wrote Jennifer Lopez 's song Dance
Again released in 2012, which reached
number-one position in the Billboard Hot
Dance Club Songs .
In 2000, Iglesias co-produced an off Broadway
musical called Four Guys Named Jose and
Una Mujer Named Maria. In the musical, four
Americans of Latin heritage possess a
common interest in music and meet and
decide to put on a show. The show contained
many references and allusions to many classic
and contemporary Latin and pop songs by the
likes of Carmen Miranda , Selena, Richie Valens ,
Chayanne, Ricky Martin and Iglesias himself.
Iglesias also developed an interest in acting,
starring alongside Antonio Banderas, Salma
Hayek and Johnny Depp in the Robert
Rodriguez film Once Upon a Time in Mexico,
in which he played the foul-mouthed gun-
wielding Lorenzo. In 2007, he had guest
starred in the TV comedy Two and a Half
Men as a carpenter/handyman. He says that
he would act again if given small roles that he
could fit in between his musical commitments.
He also guest starred as Gael, an Argentinean
guitar playing/surfer/massage therapist love
interest of Robin in season 3 of the CBS hit TV
show How I Met Your Mother.
Iglesias also played the part of an evil Roman
emperor in an Pepsi Music 2004: Britney

which sponsored his last world tour. He
starred alongside Britney Spears , Beyoncé and
Pink , who turn the tables on him in the Pepsi
