Let's Chill, Euge and Karla are A-okay!
Eugenio Derbez recently set the record straight regarding his working relationship with Karla Sofía Gascón, nipping rumors of beef in the bud after his remarks about the movie Emilia Pérez. Namely, the Mexican heavyweight stated the pair have no beef and remain tight-knit, even during public fires.
Rumors of a potential rift between the duo started swirling after Derbez publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Emilia Pérez, a film Gascón stars in. However,Derbez maintains their bond is rock-solid, going as far as to say that Gascón reached out to him personally to squash any gossip surrounding their relationship.
"Karla was the first to contact me when the rumors started, saying 'Eugenio darling, chill out and don't worry'," Derbez recounted. In kind, Derbez expressed his support when Gascón found herself under fire on social media over her Oscar nomination. "I told her, 'Karla, chill down, we're friends, I've got your back.'"
Gascón made her breakthrough appearance in Derbez's critically-acclaimed Mexican film, Nosotros los Nobles. Derbez shared fond memories from that film, highlighting Nosotros los Nobles' massive impact on the Mexican box office.
"We've known each other for a long time. We've had some good times, especially when she was a part of Nosotros los Nobles. They were the biggest success in the history of Mexican cinema, clean sweeping the box office for about three or four months until No se aceptan devoluciones came out," Derbez chuckled, referring to his own film that eventually outperformed Nosotros los Nobles in revenue. Derbez even expressed his eagerness to partner with Gascón on future projects.
A separate topic on Derbez's radar was the revelation made by his daughter Aislinn Derbez about the actor's past involvement in ballet. Aislinn shared that her mother once perceived her father as part of the LGBT community because of his early interest in the art form. The actor clarified his motivation for taking up ballet: he enrolled to learn the basics of dance for musical comedies and Broadway shows.
All in all, the pair have had a long-standing bond, having first worked together on Nosotros los Nobles. Recent developments in their careers may have stirred up gossip surrounding their relationship, but Derbez made it clear that they remain supportive of each other. As for future collaborations, the actor didn't rule it out, expressing an eagerness to work with Gascón again.
Regarding their associations with Emilia Pérez, Derbez had been embroiled in discussions about Selena Gomez's performance, criticizing the actress initially before apologizing. Gascón takes on the role of Manitas del Monte, a notorious cartel leader in the film. However, recent attention focused on her tweets that resurfaced and caused a stink. It remains unclear how these events may impact their professional collaborations in the future.
