Miguel Varoni reveals the real reason why Pedro el Escamoso accepted 2

Look: What does Pedro el Escamoso have to add to Colombian television today?

MV: I think it’s the connection with the public, a very cool guy, good vibes, a guy who always comes out ahead. When we made Pedro el escamoso in 2000, this country was at a time when the country needed to tell a story like Pedro’s, of someone who rose from the ashes, and I think that curiously 22 years later we are in a bit of the same boat. I think we need to laugh, we need to see the shit and be happy, there is a lot of shit in the world, so one says: ‘how nice to turn on the television and see something that doesn’t make you think’. This guy is a fantastic idiot, who only tells lies to save his life, but he is a good guy.

Besides: ‘Euphoria’ 3 filming has begun

Look: Where did the idea of ​​’mompirri’ come from?

MV: ‘Juancho’ Arango brought it, he always said it like that, mompirri and másimo, and when we were recording the first one, a scene in a shopping center in Nice, (Juan Carlos) Villamizar was directing, and I asked him if we could say it like that, he said: ‘no, do it’ and that’s where we started.

Look: How do you see the Colombian television industry evolving?

MV: I think it’s very good, but I’m very upset by the repetition. I think there’s too much talent here, good directors, good actors, producers, good writers, there are too many talented people here. So when you see that on a channel there’s an hour of repetition, well, it’s not worth it.
