To celebrate his return to Mexican television after 10 years, he presented the first episodes at the Casino Español.
“This series that I was so looking forward to was finally released.You can’t imagine, there are projects in which you fall in love and you can’t wait to release them and this is one of them, I haven’t directed for 12 years and I haven’t done comedy in Spanish for many years and this is my returnlike when he did it with The stuffed family”he explained.
He stressed that it was very fun to play a bloody character who is conceited, rude, arrogant, and one of the challenges he faced was giving him a Spanish accent.

family support

“My dad is the most perfectionist person that could exist and he doesn’t like to produce if the result is not spectacular, I haven’t seen anything and tonight is going to be the first… He always talks to me to ask me for advice and in this series he was hesitant to direct because his timing was complicated and I told him that he had to do it, because he always ends up doing it and then gives him the credit to other people,” he commented.
José Eduardo Derbez agreed in his support for his father: “I am very happy to accompany my dad“I’ve only seen two episodes and I loved them,” he added.
Sofía Niño de Rivera also participates in the series and said that she identifies with her character, because on many occasions she has had to work in a place where she does not want to.
“It was very fun to do (his character), it wasn’t difficult for me because I hate everything, It was difficult to go from English to Spanish, but with the direction it was easy.”
