recently too Carlo Villagran Praise and criticism rained down on him because he revived the unforgettable Kikoa character in which he played The guy from 8. However, he always defended his fight to keep this brutal, cheeky boy alive that propelled the comedian to stardom across Latin America.
But now Villagrán seems ready to say goodbye to his character, who continues to perform on the stage of Hermanos Caballero, who is touring in the United States. According to information from the Mexican newspaper El Universal, the city of Phoenix will be the last where Kiko sings, dances and jokes.
Because of my age, out of respect for me, out of respect for people, out of respect for everyone. I am old enough to retire.
“It’s going to be the same ‘Kiko’ that can’t do anything, I can’t do anything but ‘Kiko’ because it would be a scam for people,” the actor said at a press conference in retrospect to the same newspaper where he addressed the people for so many years of affection: “They fed me, and more importantly, they fed my children,” said the actor, who is now 78 and that child has been starring in fiction for a little over half a century.

Kiko is one of the most popular and memorable characters from El Chavo del 8, but after some disagreements over the character’s handling with the series creator, Roberto Gomez Bolanos, Villagrán retired from the program and fought a legal battle for years to continue to step into the shoes of Doña Florinda’s son. He had a series in Venezuela called a ‘Oh what Kiko!’ and changed some details to avoid legal problems.
But now he admits that I could say goodbye to the character. “Because of my age, out of respect for me, out of respect for people, out of respect for the whole world. I’m old enough to retire,” said Carlos Villagrán, who with this step aside could resume his dream write your memoirs. You will have a lot to tell.
