00:00I remember entering the house of the famous with both hands tied behind without understanding anything and without knowing what was going to happen with my career.
00:10I remember a lot that inside, I remember a lot that inside the house of the famous I told Alicia Machado,
00:20I hope this works, Pablo Montero, I'm doing all this for my career and I hope I can do it again.
00:30I love to act, I love to be on the set and I hope all this works.
00:40And also the truth is that my house, which was the first one, was not as violent and aggressive as the last one we have seen.
00:50There were no confrontations, there were no such things, those dynamics that we have seen lately.
00:55So in some way it was a bit familiar, let's say.
01:00But yes, I am very grateful to the house because people could see who Roberto Romano was.
01:08Outside of the strategies, the games, what has been said or not, it helped me a lot.
01:15And outside of the fact that people knew me, I think more the medium.
01:20The medium behind cameras, production, castings, all these departments that are behind that maybe sometimes people don't read.
01:32But maybe one suddenly stays with what they hear and it's like no, no, no.
01:37And suddenly when they see something else and it's not what they hear and they start to give you the opportunity, they are grateful.
01:46I did it just for that. After the house of the famous, Exatlon came.
01:51After Exatlon, who also gave me another facet, totally competitive, sports.
01:58I saw you in El Conde. After El Conde in Mexico, I saw this play that was the strongest challenge of my career, Afterglow.
02:06Where I had to undress totally, playing a gay character in a love triangle.
02:14Where the characters touch you body to body, always respecting and always being very professional.
02:22After Afterglow, literally that was my casting for the project of Mexico.
02:26Live of love. I left the scene and they told me, you are already inside.
02:32It was my return. I couldn't believe it. And as I tell you, it has been one after another, one after another.
02:38With a minimum of one or two months of rest. Thank God, I had never spent 17 years of my career.
02:43And this is appreciated.
02:46I knew that this in my career was going to be a before and after.
02:51Precisely because of the character that comes to me.
02:54Two years ago I was 30, 31.
02:58And well, my character starts a little bit like what I'm living right now.
03:07He starts as a young man, but ends up at the age he is right now.
03:12From 50 to 55 years old.
03:14An age that I totally don't know how to handle.
03:19I don't know how, Roberto.
03:22And interpreting this type of character is a gift.
03:27It's a gift because it gives you a lot as an actor to be able to show
03:35what one is made of.
03:37I've always said, I think that with characterization, with a good discipline,
03:43and with a good study, you can achieve any character.
03:47But in the end, they choose you.
03:49Jason Romo in the project is my son.
03:53In real life, he is one of my comrades, of my friends, of my colleagues in the media.
04:01And I've been with Jason for 10 years.
04:04He's 26, and I've been with him for 9 or 10 years.
04:07It's not that much of a difference.
04:12But interpreting this challenge,
04:17to show those age differences,
04:20even though we are very close.
04:23With Sofia, who is also my daughter.
04:27Well, the actress is 22, 23 years old.
04:30So, it was a very strong challenge for me.
04:34Because sometimes, even...
04:36I'm usually in the set very playful, very funny, very relaxed.
04:42After the 2, I totally get into the character.
04:46But I loved it, because...
04:50Before recording, I used to joke with them.
04:53That if we looked the same age, at the age of 3 or 2, I would be their father.
04:57So, it's a very strong and cool challenge that I had in my career.
05:02I always wanted to have a challenge where I would physically change.
05:07Normally, I weigh 83 or 84 kilos.
05:11I arrived with that weight in that project.
05:16And I remember that the first thing Miguel Baroni told me,
05:19he said to me,
05:21he said, no, you have a body and everything you want,
05:24but it's not the project where we need that.
05:29So, either you lose weight or you lose weight.
05:32I said, but how?
05:34Yes, your character is from that time,
05:36at that time there was no gym,
05:38he's an alcoholic,
05:40all the time he's working,
05:42he's trying to get over himself.
05:44So, no, you don't have time for that.
05:46And I had to lose 10 kilos for this character.
05:49So, yes, you can see that difference.
05:52And I loved it.
05:54I loved this challenge.
05:55What can I tell you when you have all your young referents
06:01in the same project?
06:03It's like...
06:05I mean, there were times when I didn't believe it.
06:07It's like, I remember that in Mexico we see the soap operas,
06:11the country is used to seeing soap operas,
06:13it's something of our culture.
06:15And, well, before, where maybe the medium
06:20focused only on a bubble,
06:23the soap operas were the soap operas
06:25and you stopped what you were doing to see the soap opera.
06:30And Sergio Sendel,
06:33Fernando Colunga,
06:35Santal Andere,
06:36Omar Fierro,
06:37Elena Rojo,
06:39Elena Rojo, what can I tell you?
06:41I mean,
06:43Sergio Reynoso,
06:45well,
06:48they're all there, right?
06:50Lupita Perdigón,
06:51there were people that I used to say,
06:53I remember that I used to see you in the living room of my house
06:55and I used to tell my family,
06:57one day I'm going to be with them,
06:58one day I'm going to act,
07:00because I always knew in some way
07:03that my life was going to be on the artistic side, right?
07:08So I always told them that,
07:10and suddenly it's fulfilled.
07:12But it's not that it has fulfilled you in different projects,
07:14no, it was in a project all.
07:17With Fernando Colunga I had a great complicity,
07:22I didn't record as much as with Sergio and with Santal,
07:25but the few scenes I had with him,
07:27I had a very nice friendship,
07:30I arrived very nervous the first time,
07:32like,
07:33this is Fernando Colunga, right?
07:35But suddenly you find a super kind human being,
07:38super...
07:43humble on stage,
07:45super professional,
07:47a partner who helps you,
07:49who even jokes,
07:51so it breaks the ice, right?
07:56I have to take revenge for me in my career.
08:00Yes, it's a goal.
08:02I say it like this because I enjoyed it,
08:04I enjoyed it,
08:06I love this project,
08:08from the people who saw it and put their eye on me,
08:12from the casting,
08:14grateful to Jimena, grateful to Sandra,
08:16grateful to Veronica,
08:18to my producer Rafa,
08:20because it was something that has been working, you know?
08:24Regardless of the count,
08:26this was something that had already been...
08:28it was something that I was already looking for
08:30and I wanted it to happen, right?
08:33I finished a project in Mexico on April 17,
08:36and on April 18,
08:38they were confirming this project.
08:40So it was like...
08:42never in my 17 years of career
08:44has this happened to me, I mean,
08:46normally an actor rests for a month,
08:48two months,
08:50suddenly you have very,
08:52very strong and very bad breaks,
08:54weak breaks, eight months, a year,
08:56and you get desperate,
08:58the truth is, you get desperate
09:00because it's a very...
09:02little constant career.
09:04So when this came to me,
09:06outside of my country,
09:08in Miami,
09:10I've always said
09:12since I entered this world
09:14that I want to get to Hollywood
09:16and that somehow or another
09:18that's my main goal
09:20and well...
09:22I think that to get to your main goal
09:24you have to suddenly
09:26have small victories, right?
09:28And this for me is a super
09:30approach to that goal, right?
09:32Being in Miami, being on this side,
09:34in the air,
09:36at the same time,
09:38in the United States,
09:40with this beautiful Latino audience
09:42that I suddenly go out on the street
09:44and it's like...
09:46you're Felipe, right?
09:48It's very different, but yes,
09:50how cool, the novel,
09:52how cool that everyone is
09:54daring to make this kind of content,
09:56and what they need to see
09:58with what's coming,
10:00of revenge,
10:02when you find out that you come
10:04with tremendous actors like
10:06Danilo Carrera,
10:08Carlos Torres,
10:10Sebastián Carvajal,
10:12they are protagonists in their country,
10:14they are people who come
10:16starring, I mean,
10:18Javier Ponce
10:20starring on Netflix,
10:22then suddenly it's like...
10:24Uff, Rodolfo Salas,
10:26Saul Izazo,
10:28it's like wow,
10:30I mean,
10:32I can't believe it,
10:34and suddenly I'm on the set and I say
10:36how lucky I am
10:38to be in this project
10:40that without a doubt
10:42will drive us in our career
10:44a lot, a lot,
10:46but it's a blessing,
10:48I don't want to spoil you so much
10:50about the project,
10:52I think the title is more than clear,
10:54but it's a youthful project
10:56that people
10:58are going to enjoy a lot,
11:00because they are new,
11:02and I love that, I really love it.
