Discovery LatAm original that debuted globally on HBO Max in June, is produced by THR3 Media and Perro Azul and stars Pablo Cruz as G\u00f3mez Bola\u00f1os. Cruz spoke to\u00a0<em>TV Drama<\/em>\u00a0about having the support of G\u00f3mez Bola\u00f1os\u2019 family and preparing for his role in\u00a0<em>Chespirito: Sin querer queriendo<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TV DRAMA:\u00a0<\/strong>Congratulations on the success of\u00a0<em>Chespirito: Sin querer queriendo<\/em>. I grew up with the characters of Roberto G\u00f3mez Bola\u00f1os and the series brought back beautiful memories.<br \/>\n<strong>CRUZ:<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s a wonderful series! It was filmed with the intention of being a fantasy, where you can see elements related to [his creations] like\u00a0<em>El Chapul\u00edn Colorado<\/em>\u00a0and his imagination, as well as his family, friends and colleagues. G\u00f3mez Bola\u00f1os placed great importance on the collective process\u2014the idea that everyone contributed to generating laughter and humor. However, we used fantasy to distance ourselves from reality so that people wouldn\u2019t feel like they were watching a documentary. [The series is] based on and inspired by the life of a man who influenced our lives with his characters, and [through it], we want to get to know him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TV DRAMA:\u00a0<\/strong>How did your involvement in the series come about?<br \/>\n<strong>CRUZ:<\/strong>\u00a0The family of Roberto G\u00f3mez Bola\u00f1os and my relationship with two of his children, Roberto and Paulina G\u00f3mez Fern\u00e1ndez, were fundamental in granting me access to information, videos and photographs. They opened the doors of their memory, their hearts and their most treasured objects. As an introduction, I read his autobiography\u00a0<em>Sin querer queriendo<\/em>, where I learned details of his childhood. [He enjoyed] playing with words, turning that into humor that reached national and international audiences. G\u00f3mez Bola\u00f1os was a professional in every sense when it came to comedy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TV DRAMA:\u00a0<\/strong>From an actor\u2019s perspective, was this the most difficult character you\u2019ve had to portray?<br \/>\n<strong>CRUZ:<\/strong>\u00a0I don\u2019t know if it was the most difficult or the easiest. Honestly, I think that depends on each character, whether inspired by real life or not. Each character offers a universe of possibilities that we can discover, and when that journey is collective, it becomes more entertaining, more fun and even more accurate. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s about one or the other, but rather that it depends on the character\u2014and this one is no exception in terms of complexity, the amount of information and all the material I saw to understand who Roberto G\u00f3mez Bola\u00f1os was. His family witnessed his greatness and has its own version of the story. [To all this, we must add] that he was surrounded by a group of professionals\u2014including writers, producers, actors and directors who contributed from our own understanding to a fictional story, featuring beautiful, fairy-tale-like characters.] [It\u2019s important to clarify that] the character portrayed in the series did not exist. The person who did exist is someone we admire and who is no longer with us, whose name is Roberto G\u00f3mez Bola\u00f1os. We tried to interpret what we believe he would have felt in the critical moments of his life and to understand him from a close perspective, as witnesses of those who created this story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TV DRAMA:\u00a0<\/strong>What impacted or moved you the most\u2014not only as an actor but as a person\u2014about Roberto G\u00f3mez Bola\u00f1os\u2019 life story?<br \/>\n<strong>CRUZ:<\/strong>\u00a0The importance he gave to collectivity in the creative process, to the idea that everyone should have a voice in the experimentation of comedy and humor\u2014knowing that humor had to be approached with absolute rigor, because otherwise, the message could become diluted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TV DRAMA:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>What were the main challenges of portraying G\u00f3mez Bola\u00f1os?<br \/>\n<strong>CRUZ:<\/strong>\u00a0Beyond [immersing myself in his world] to try to replicate his mannerisms, the most difficult part for me was mastering a soccer ball, which I understand G\u00f3mez Bola\u00f1os did quite skillfully. Here, the production helped me. Without editing, it would have been obvious how distant my relationship with the ball is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pablo Cruz on playing Roberto G\u00f3mez Bola\u00f1os in Chespirito: Sin querer queriendo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":283,"featured_media":23086,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[68,70],"tags":[11063,11062,11064],"class_list":["post-23085","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-interviews","category-top-stories","tag-chespirito-sin-querer-queriendo","tag-pablo-cruz","tag-roberto-gomez-bolanos","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
