According to Cucurella, he enjoys the film so much that he even watches it twice a day. Moreover, his children also love the cartoon, so it's no surprise that The Lion King is viewed multiple times a day in his household.

Let's recall that the original animated film was released in 1994, four years before Cucurella was born. It's also worth noting that a remake of this legendary classic hit the screens in 2019.

It's noteworthy that the Chelsea defender, along with his wife Claudia Rodriguez, is raising three children: Mateo, Rio, and Claudia. The couple has been strong since 2018.

Cucurella has been playing for Chelsea since 2022, having transferred from Brighton for a fee of £62 million. In the current season, the Spaniard has played 29 matches for the London club across all competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 3 assists. Cucurella has also appeared in 3 matches for the Spanish national team in the UEFA Nations League.
