Tensions around the legacy of ‘El Chavo del 8’ They generate debate again. Esteban Valdés, son of the remembered actor Ramón Valdés, said in a recent interview that his father decided to depart from the projects of Roberto Gómez Bolaños due to the influence that Florinda Meza began to exercise at the end of the seventies.
“The main reason was that Florinda Meza, in the late 70s and early 80s, already had a romance with Roberto. The direction was no longer Roberto, was Florinda and Roberto; suddenly Roberto no. My dad, although he respected each partner a lot, including her, he no longer enjoyed Roberto almost not stating, it was she,” he said in the program ‘Ponte in the tail’ of Latin.
According to Esteban, his father noticed that creative driving no longer fell only to Gómez Bolaños, but in Florinda Meza, which ended up subtracting his work in ‘El Chavo del 8’, ‘El Chapulín Colorado’ and other projects. “If you analyze interviews, she didn’t let him talk and removed the microphone. It was something similar in the program,” he added.
The actor’s son clarified, however, that Ramón Valdés did not abandon the program abruptly, but said goodbye to his teammates “leaving the door open” for a possible return. “Although they were in the climax of fame and money, my dad preferred to say: ‘With permit, said Monchito,” he recalled.
Esteban’s statements revive the criticisms of Florinda Meza, who in recent years has been pointed out for his influence on the professional and personal life of Roberto Gómez Bolaños, known worldwide as Chespirito.
