Raúl Romero returned to the small screen as one of the coaches in the reality show ‘La voz senior’, by the Latina signal. “He is great. It’s a great format, international, well done, where I’m with the girl Daniela (Darcourt), the girl Eva (Ayllon) and the boy René (Farrait) says the remembered animator whose last appearance was in the Patriotas knowledge space, which aired Plus TV.
It is inevitable to ask him about the announced and fleeting return of ‘This is habacilar’, reality show that he hosted with great success in the 90s and that was re-released last January on América Televisión. “I no longer knew how to tell the fans that I would not be there, they did not believe me. He had no words, he had no languages. I think there was a lot of enthusiasm, and I understand it, and somehow that expectation was generated and the truth is that until the day the program came out, many people thought that I would come out, “ remember.
—America TV summoned you or not?
“Look, there was a call from Mariana (Ramirez del Villar, production company) and the truth is, my answer will seem strange to you, but it seemed to me that they called me to participate. Later, I heard that the intention was not that. I think Mariana’s call was to probe. What did I tell them? Not because I didn’t want to do television at that time, to be more specific, to do daily, live television, I didn’t want to at that time.
—Some drivers like Mathías Brivio or Gian Piero Díaz, when leaving the schedule from Monday to Friday, said that they were doing so because they had lost important family moments, that they were missing out on the growth of their children. Was it your case?
“No, I don’t see it that way. Definitely, we all have to work and in my case the schedule of worked it was not very extensive. And the truth was I went ten minutes before the program and I stayed alone until the end. What I am saying is that in my case, specifically, I have been very present in the lives of my children and it has not been the reason why I did not agree to return. I had a couple of decisions that did not obtain the expected results and I told myself “well, it’s time to do things I’ve always wanted and you haven’t done” and I began to develop other activities of a public business nature and not public.
Romero ventured into the world of literature with “Diary of exercises.” Photo: composition/Raúl Romero/Instagram/libros.cc
—Which included a novel in Spain, Exercise Diary.
-Of course. I began to write, my novel was published in Spain. I also created a virtual game that is not out yet. I released a board game (Math Max). I started doing things and when they called me from the channels it was to do ‘R with R’ again or ‘habacilar’, something like that, an hour and a half, prime time, driving games and the truth is that I had closed that chapter. So, when the proposal for ‘La voz senior’ arrives, it’s different, it’s a good part recorded, a much friendlier schedule, a stable format, where I interact with others, I’m not alone, the pressure is different, and above all I feel calls for my musical facet and I loved that.
—’This is Habacilar’ was not even a month on the air.
I had just released my board game. My focus was on that and I found out when they lifted it the following week, and well, there my friends were driving. Honestly, they were mixed feelings.
“What do you have pending?”
—My expectation is that my book will be successful in Spain and that a publisher will be interested here in Peru. Then I have a script of a movie that right now is in the hands of a highly valued screenwriter who is reforming it. A very active screenwriter with content in Netflix and other platforms. We’ll see what happens. I hope it becomes a movie or Serie.
