Throughout his professional career, he accompanied him emotionally and at work., lending a hand to fulfill their commitments. Now, after her goodbye, things have changed.
The actor's son is out of work after the death of his father. “Paco Arévalo was the driving force, in every sense, of his children and without him everything is much more difficult now,” a source close to the family explained to The Spanish, ensuring that “Paquito has been out of work for a long time”: “He has been in several places. Arévalo was the main source of income.” For his part, Tony Antonio, comedian and friend of the artist, has confirmed to the media that his son “he doesn't work at anything” because “he was his father's assistant.”
However, during the comedian's last working stage he was not very active. It was his lifestyle, “very austere,” notes the informant, that allowed him to live peacefully and be a support for his children.

Among them, former bullfighter José Ortega Cano and model Fabiola Martínez, who explained that her ex-husband, Bertín Osborne, had not been able to attend because he was recovering from COVID-19.
The singer and the comedian were good friends for a long time, although Osborne recently confessed that they had argued. “I haven't spoken to Bertín in more than twelve or thirteen years. I do not know anything about him. The one who was talking to him was my father. Lately they didn't have such a fluid relationship but they called each other from time to time.“said the comedian's son as the funeral was about to take place last Friday in the Valencian capital.
