Hours earlier, during the presentation of the 26th edition of the Film Festival, he was proud of his career and recognition: “I am a fan of my country’s cinema and I would love to continue working as an actor, so I am going to try to combine my concerts with a movie, as long as the script is very good”. Of course, the artist has recognized: “I have made little cinema because I am very faithful to music.”
The artist has fondly remembered his filmography and has revealed his desire that his son Jacobo make a film for him from his point of view: “I’m very stubborn, so I’ll get it.” And it is that, about to reach the eighth decade of his life, he has rope for a while: “I have tried to preserve myself as well as possible. I take great care of myself, I do not smoke, I do not drink, they do not let me either, they take great care of me, and the public is not that they take care of me, it’s that they pamper me”.
