After sharing a project with Fernando Colunga the actor in “A Hoax Doesn’t Hurt” a few years ago Sergio Defascio He spoke about his former partner and some anecdotes they experienced together.
In the show First Hand, Sergio said that Fernando was a “very physical” actor, so he made the action scenes real and He delivered real punches to his companions.
“I have a very nice anecdote, very interesting, about him. Well, he’s always strong and says hello to everyone (forcefully, letting go of his fist) and everything is always physical. In front of me was Pierre Angelo and he had to go because he really grabbed the actor, there there were strong scenes of violence and he threw it against the backdrop then Pierre Angelo left!” He started counting.
Just like Pierre, other actors had to leave because they couldn’t stand the actor’s treatment on stage: “There was another boy whose name I don’t remember who left too! There were about 2 or 3 actors who had to leave because Fernando is one who takes up arms. I really met her“, uncovered.
To take care of it when he entered the staging, he had to make mechanisms so as not to be hurt by Fernando’s blows: “I had to put a plate on the exit of a leg (of the theater) because when this boy pulls me out like that because he grabbed me and (thrown) me in a lump…so I’m going to bust out and hit me there (on the panel) and not hit me, so I did it to mediate because there was a scene where I had to fall and he let go of the kick“, he showed.
Although Sergio tried to talk to him so he wouldn’t hurt him, Fernando refused because that was his acting style.”I said to him: “Fernando, don’t kick me, just mark it” (and he said: “No, not because it’s an experience” and he hit me, he kicked me‘ he counted.
Here’s how he related his experience with Fernando Colunga:
Despite all these abuses, Sergio assured that did not file a lawsuit with Fernando Colunga That’s why he learned to work with it in this way: “I suddenly learned to cut it,” he said.
between laughter, Sergio recalled how he started to become friends with Fernando when nobody wanted to get close to him because of the harshness with which he treats himself: “It’s his style, so they wanted an actor who could take that style, I was obviously younger, so one day he came up to me very angry and said to me, ‘ Sergio, is it true that you say that I ‘fuck you’?’, and he said, ‘no, I didn’t say that, Fernando, sorry’, (and he replied, ‘what did you say?’ , They fucked me,” he said.
They’ve been friends ever since.”We became very friends, we got along well because everyone respected him for the same “Oh, it’s not like that, Fernando, he won’t beat us” and I tell him well, come on, hit me from here (of intelligence), Win me with the spirit, not the body‘ he commented.
Sergio mentioned that Fernando wanted his classmates to get along with him and be his friends and when he found him who was the only one who behaved differently, he made them friends and now they love each other: “After all that have we hit it off and every time I see him, hugs, kisses and everything. And he says, “it is that he is of my race”, we say that we are “ñeros”. because to all ‘oh Fernando, so handsome and so strong and everything’; not! He wanted to take her with him because he has no friends“.
Finally, Mónica Noguera asked him if Fernando He felt alone for these attitudes and replied: “Yes, I think so, of course, of course, because What I wanted were friends“.
