Enrique Iglesias (born on May 8, 1975 in Madrid), is a Spanish singer has sold over 60 million records worldwide. "Hero" is the 1st single from his 2nd English album "Escape", topped the UK charts, and #1 in many other countries. He was asked to sing the song live at the benefit concert America: A Tribute to Heroes ten days after the September 11th attacks. It was Iglesias' first televised performance of the song.
The music video for "Hero" was directed by Joseph Kahn and features Iglesias as an honorable criminal hunted by his enemies, Jennifer Love Hewitt plays his love interest, while Mickey Rourke plays one of the men hunting him. The video follows a Bonnie and Clyde-esque plot with Iglesias and Hewitt running from their enemies in the desert. Finally, Iglesias' enemies track him down and confront him outside a church. The confrontation leads to Iglesias being floored by Rourke, before being struck with a baton. The video skips ahead where we see Iglesias and Hewitt in the rain surrounded by police cars. Iglesias clutches his torso, implying that he'd been shot. The video ends with Iglesias' death. However, it is assumed that the police caught Rourke.
