Caray, Caray!

Gabriel S. speaks about how much he has admired Daniela Romo his whole life. Daniela playfully corrects him and says, since you were little (to make her not seem so old). They joke around a lot about how nervous he was during their scenes, sweaty hands and all. But they both say wonderful/touching things about the other. Daniela then goes into how much she enjoyed their loves scenes. She got really into it and felt the desire in those moments when they were caressing, etc- she was very much enjoying it. Gabriel blushes and William grabs Jackie and jokes that they should leave those two alone.

Cristina asks if Gabriel’s girlfriend/baby mamma minds when he has love scenes and gets jealous. He says, no, and especially not when it’s someone whom she respects and admires like Daniela. He and his girlfriend met years ago when they were both in L.A. at different acting schools. Cristina asks about his choice to not be married. He explains that for him marriage isn’t the key to happiness. He’s quite happy with his girlfriend and daughter and not being married and that’s his lifestyle choice. Punto.

David and Chantal do a skit (in Bruno and Raquel mode) in the green room about being the last after Jackie (la flaquita), William, Gabriel and Daniela, and what’s up with that. Cristina welcomes them both out. Cristina congratulates Chantal on getting her figure back so quickly after baby. Her baby is less than a year old (didn’t catch how many months). They show a clip of the rumble on the stairs when Bruno was in his tight yellow briefs. Apparently this scene was MUCH talked about and Cristina wants to know the dirty details from David. I picked up that he couldn’t do the scene in boxers, because things would have popped out and been flashed, so it had to be the briefs. It was not his favorite scene to film. He got quite banged up and his toes even had to be taped. They talk about his antagonistic relationship with Cuco- who he really had to rile up to get him to bark at him. Therefore the two of them did not have a good relationship and David slips up and says that damned dog when he first starts speaking about Cuco. This gets some laughs out of his castmates, and David assures the audience that he loves animals.

Cristina asks Chantal about taking such an intense role. Chantal speaks about how passionate she is about acting and loves to work. She loved this role and felt like it was more complicated that others she had done before, and wanted the opportunity to portray this woman consumed by alcoholism. She started filming just 40 days after having her baby. Cristina asks about the strong theme of bisexuality, and they all agree that it’s a real lifestyle and that it was done with realism and without being offensive in the novela. Cristina asks how Chantal’s husband took her doing this role, particularly with these strong sexual situations. She says what a wonderful man she is married to- so intelligent and has told her that he wants her to be successful at her work. He does not watch her love scenes, however. Cristina comments that Chantal is following in the family business, having grown up with both a mother and father who are successful actors.

Cristina then turns to David and points out that acting was not the first field he intended to go into. In fact, he was in law school. David then talks about when he went to Miami years ago and that’s when he met William. Since David grew up with only sisters, William became like the brother he never had. They are very close. He then gets even more sentimental talking about what a wonderful family William, Jackie, Dani, Gabriel and Chantal were during Sorti.

Cristina shows us a day in the life of Gabriel Soto in L.A.: riding his motorcycles through the streets of L.A. (with a helmet on); going to the gym to do boxing training; and hanging out with his cute baby girl and girlfriend on the beach (he wants his daughter to grow up next to the water).

Cristina asks Jackie to share some stories about William’s eating habits. Apparently William eats A LOT, does not need to watch his diet (eats pizza, tacos, and all things fattening), never needs to go to the gym, and gets very cranky when he has not been sufficiently fed. JB recounts one day when they had taken a break from filming to eat, she had finished her lunch and Carla asked her to go get William so that they could start filming again. William had not yet finished eating and started a tirade at Jackie (he swears it wasn’t at HER per se) about having spent 15 years in Cuba with nothing to eat but bread and now should get to eat what he wants (his excuse whenever he is kidded about eating a lot). She goes into this tirade, perfectly imitating William’s accent and tone and the whole little tirade. This cracks everyone up, including William, and David jumps up to show physically how cranky William gets when he hasn’t had enough to eat- slamming his fist on the table, pacing like a wild animal and insisting he can’t film if he hasn’t eaten.

From previous previews, there was a lot more to this segment with JB getting up and doing some kind of imitation of someone (this seems to be her thing; remember her imitation of Elena), Gabriel shows his tattoos, including ones under his shirt, and Daniela sings. We get none of that because Cristina is showing the exclusive world premier of We Are the World in Spanish- Somos el Mundo. We see lots of Latin singing stars behind the scenes of the filming/recording the song, and then we get the song and video itself. Very well done, and for a good cause. Most of the money from the song sold on iTunes will go towards Haiti relief and to other causes that the We Are the World Foundation supports. Hopefully Chile will benefit too. There might be more of the Sorti cast stuff they didn’t show on the Cristina site on Univision.com, keyword (clave) Sortilegio.
