Despite the years of friendship with Michelle Alexander, it is the first time that Gustavo Bueno works in his production company: Del Barrio. We see him every night as Don Antonio in the telenovela ‘Maricucha’, where he plays a wealthy widower who, in order to teach his two ambitious daughters and son-in-law a lesson, decides to ask the housekeeper (Patricia Barreto) to marry him.
“I accepted because I love comedy. I was attracted by the fact that the director is a woman, Ani Alva, and the protagonist, Patricia Barreto, who is a good actress. and he had an exceptional performance when he played Edith Piaf in the theater”, tells us the actor recently arrived from the city of Tacna where, together with a group of friends, he traditionally enjoys a few days on the beach.

“There were a series of factors that made the offer attractive to me, in addition, of course, to the great friends that are there. And I’m very happy with my colleagues, and it will be the same when I record ‘Al fondo hay lugar’. In the case of ‘Maricucha’ I accepted because it was also a comedy and not a melodrama, since I have a certain aversion to melodramas because they seem to me to never be well done”, he points out.
Why did you agree to return to ‘In the background there is room’? He knows that after the end he keeps repeating himself and he’s not doing badly at all.
yes and for that (the repetition) is setting the bar very high because there is a lot of expectation, and that cannot be disappointed. I accepted because one has the need to work, there is no idle actor or who wants to be idle, and age does not matter. Here you don’t think about retirement, only when they take you out feet first, right? (smile). But in the meantime, one works. Luckily until now I have always been able to work on what I like. For this year I have two films to be released that I filmed before the pandemic. One with Pancho Lombardi (Amelia) and another with Adrián Saba, a very talented young man. I have already seen a first version of both tapes and I have been very satisfied.

He has said that he is happy working with friends. What feeling did Mayra Couto’s complaint give you, who accused Andrés Wiese of harassment and mistreatment?
It was a bit painful, one cannot be exempt from that. It was just speculation and nothing more, right? And there the matter died. I think everything is cancelled, there are no more charges. They are both friends, young, both debutants at the time, and that these kinds of things happen and that levels of confrontation are reached is unpleasant for all the other partners. Outside of that I have nothing more to say.
Karina Calmet, at the time, made a labor complaint (in 2016 she went to the Labor and Social Security Commission of Congress to publicize the labor situation of workers in order to respect their labor rights) and denounced bullying. inside the series.
About Karina… she’s not going to return to the series. He wasn’t a very relevant character, he was in a certain way, but I think that in the series they sometimes choose. They go by the side of one character or another.
