How are you? We're good, how are you?
How are you? How are you doing? We're great. What?
We're currently in L.A..
We're excited to be excited to be here talking with you. Oh,
yeah, I've got a little bit Los Calinas
Oh, yeah. Great. Yes. Fantastic.
Congratulations on the show, guys.
It's really great fun. Thank you.
Tell me tell me about reading the scripts for the first time, because I can imagine
they kind of popped out at you because they're so kind of fresh
and so exciting, but also has a lot to say about the culture and things
we haven't seen before. So what drew you to this one?
First of all, how well written it was, it was just wonderful, it was.
I think when you have a good script is just easy to dive in into the comedy
and to just dive into the story.
I loved who I play Juliet
right from the get go.
I knew she was smart and she had a lot to say.
And I want to be I wanted to interpret someone like her very strong.
And she she doesn't keep quiet.
You can't put her in a corner.
And also, I love the people that were attached to it,
great people that are behind
the more successful comedies in the States and in the world.
So that's kind of what drew me into it.
I wanted to be a part of something like that.
So I'm honored they picked me to do that.
Yeah, I think for me, the fact that it was bilingual
in that apple with Apple TV+ was taking this risk and opening
this door for the bilingual community,
the Latin community and for the entire world.
I felt very special and honestly, working with Eugenio Derbez
knowing that he was kind of like at the front of it, too.
Yeah, he's an icon, you know, and we all look up to him so much
as performers and actors and even comedians, you know.
So he was just definitely like we all knew things from the get go.
It was going to be a very special project.
So we're feel very blessed and grateful to be part of it. We're also very
I mean, we're very family oriented.
And to know that this also was in the story.
Yeah. It's made us fall in love even more.
Yeah. Also Camila.
I love that your character is hopelessly devoted to Grease because it's a classic.
Let's be honest.
As soon as you hear that in a in a TV show,
you're like, I'm going to like this show.
I think sometimes I like.
We have to talk about this.
Yeah, absolutely.
Tell me about stepping back into the 80s then, because we've seen quite a few shows
recently in films that have taken that step back.
The '80s is such an iconic time.
Tell me about you guys as young actors stepping back into the 80s.
Mm hmm. I'm not going to touch on your ages, but I'm going to guess that
maybe you were alive like I was as a kid in the 80s.
My mom wasn't even thinking of me in the 80s.
I was in her mind knowing that totally.
I mean, I think we we we our biggest attachment to the 80s, it's music. Music.
You know, we love music from the 80s.
I'm a huge Madonna fan.
So, you know, I you know, oh, my God. But I love her.
But no, basically what was so cool is that a lot of the people in our crew,
like in makeup or costume, they were like our age in the 80s.
So he was really cool, too. Like we learn from them, too.
Yeah, I'd ask that.
He showed me pictures when they were in their 80s. Yeah.
Big hair!
It was so cool to like
get the stories from them and then kind of like use that a little bit.
And what we're doing on camera, you know, to try to understand the vibe, I guess.
And also watching music videos.
I mean, for me, I'm very
I'm not I don't I don't sing and I don't play any instruments.
But music to me is everything.
So I think music was like a
big part of just getting into character and getting into the vibe.
But I think what also helped was the set.
The set was just huge.
And the color, it was just very 80s.
So that helped us kind of dive into our characters even more.
Yeah, we we definitely felt like we were definitely in the 80s
and nothing would feel like it was
we were on a set because even some of the problems they got on my
I don't know how you got a hold of this, but you did. And it's amazing.
Yeah, pretty cool. What was the music of choice?
What was the songs of choice, Madonna or Madonna? Definitely.
And the thing is, Lionel Richie.
Yeah. And we have an element of music in the show, too. Yes.
Yes. Like singers Augustin Arana that have like the soundtrack of the show.
Yeah. So it was I got to be in
a lot of the rehearsals for them, putting together the sounds.
So that was also my music inspiration, seeing them rehearse.
Yeah, it's nice.
It was nice to hear some of those classic songs sung a little bit differently.
That was that was a little bit different. Different
I think it makes it so.
I think that's so smart.
from the writers. It was just so funny.
I remember we were doing the table read
and then obviously in the stage directions, it says like maybe
what's playing in the background or what's happening in the atmosphere.
And it was the songs. But, you know, let's not spoil it.
But we were dying when we were reading.
It is like, how can you how can you picture this song in that? Ingenious!
We have a great genius.
Yeah, absolutely.
That's that sold me on the show,
even if the Grease stuff didn't sell me on the show as well.
Guys like you so, so much for your time. Absolutely. Pleasure.
I hope the show goes really well for you.
Thank you so much. Take care. Bye.
