Mexican Actors Thalia and Eduardo Capetillo Talked About 'Marimar'
In the virtual meeting on Thalia's YouTube channel, the Mexican actors talked about some of their unforgettable scenes while doing their soap operas.
The actors recalled the scene where Thalia approached the mud to reach the necklace using her teeth. The necklace was thrown by the story's antagonist Angelica Narváez de Santibáñez.
Thalia then revealed that the production suggested using chocolate in the scene. However, the Mexican actress said no to the idea. The actress said she went to the show's producer and told her to stick with the mud.
"Beatriz [Sheridan], let's do it well, it's the forceful scene that will be repeated for revenge in the end," Thalia recalled telling the soap opera's producer. After making the iconic scene in "Marimar," she said she immediately went straight to the sea.
Aside from recalling the iconic scene in "Marimar," Eduardo Capetillo also revealed something about his role as Sergio Santibañez in the telenovela. The Mexican singer and actor shared that he was never good at soccer, which contradicts his role.
"I was never good at soccer. In fact, I was lousy," Capetillo revealed. Despite his lack of skills in the sport, he said that he still liked his role in the soap opera.
"When they called me to do a soap opera and that it was 'Marimar,' I loved it, I liked that he [Sergio Santibañez] was a boy who played soccer... and then everything else came about the horse, the boots... it was a wonderful project," the Mexican actor noted.

The Mexican actress then confessed that she cried when she learned about the real Pulgoso's passing. "Marimar" was one of the most successful telenovelas of the Televisa channel. The soap opera was released in 1994.
