Eugenio Derbez says he felt like he was 'being a kid all over again,” while filming “Dora and the Lost City of Gold.”
“I always felt that I was being a kid all over again,” Derbez said. “Actually they were making fun of me constantly because I was climbing up the trees and taking pictures of everything … the trees are huge, the ants were this big, the mushrooms were different. It was the jungle.”
“After 10 years, I said, ‘no more,’” Derbez said. “I quit and went back to Mexico and I said, ‘I’m going to do my own shows, my own movies. That’s it. No more American dream.” “He said, ‘my nannies and my whole staff in my house, they’re Mexicans. And I asked them who was the funniest comedian in Mexico and they said your name,” Derbez said. “That’s my people.”
“Back then, the studios were always trying to reach Latino audiences, but they thought the only theme we care about is immigration and it's not. And they thought that by only hiring someone called Martínez or González or Fernández, they’re going to have diversity in their movies.” Derbez said. “And that’s not true. People want to see their own stories.”
