The hyperlaxity of certain body tissues brought about by Botet's condition has given him extremely long and fine fingers along with a tall, thin build, standing at 6 feet 7 inches and weighing 123 pounds He is a Spanish actor who is often cast in creature roles, he portrayed Tristana Medeiros in the “REC” franchise (2007–2009), the title character in “Mama” (2013), Set in “The Mummy” (2017), Slender Man in the 2018 film of the same name, and Dracula in “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” (2023).
