If you were to look for a synonym for humor in the dictionary could perfectly be associated with Joaquín Reyes (49 years). With his colorful characters and his peculiar imitations with a La Mancha accent, he has managed to establish himself as one of the country’s great comedians. He has been making laughter his profession for more than two decades. His humor runs in the family.
The blame, let’s say, lies with his father, who made many jokes when he was still a young man who thought that his path was to be an illustrator. Pablo Motos (58 years old) and his ants have received him in ‘El Hormiguero’ to present his new play, ‘La Paz’set in classical Athens and tell some of its best anecdotes.
The son and grandson of teachers is known in all his facets, except family. He is married to his long-term girlfriend, a kindergarten teacher who He says he understands him perfectly because of his profession.. She is also her biggest critic, as she confessed in an interview years ago with Europa Press: “My wife is the one who brings that critical vision to my shows, He doesn’t flatter me like the people around me.. “My wife is the one I trust the most when I ask for her opinion.”
Together with her he undertook what has been the great adventure of his life: become a father. He has two children, Jesús, 15, and Ester, 13, of whom he feels enormously proud. He is very protective of the private life of his children and his wife, of those who have not uploaded any images to Instagram. There are few occasions in which he has spoken about them because he does not want them to be affected by fame.
The key that Joaquín Reyes’ family has when he is heavy
Very jealous of his privacy, Joaquín has said in ‘El Hormiguero’ that he really likes History, so much so that his family has “a little tag”, a key so that when things get annoying he knows that he has to keep quiet. “When they guess that one of my stories is coming They say a phrase that is ‘how good the tiles are‘, referring to the dessert made of almonds that is very good and crunchy. This started with my sister-in-law, who has a deep impression on me and who knows when I start with one of my rolls. In my family, they are all very horny, my children and my wife, my nuclear family, because they use that tag to make me shut up and leave me in the air. But many things are lost!” explained the comedian.
The actor has also told a funny anecdote that happened to him in the province of Guadalajara when he went to do a monologue. And in a small venue in the city someone threw something in his face: “I went to perform on a Sunday, because the performances were that day… It was a very narrow place. People talked a lot and I was going quickly to finish.” sooner when at one point someone threw a sock in my face. I thought either he brought it from home or he took it off now. None were good.”, he revealed between laughs. “Then the owner in the store while he was paying me was telling his colleague ‘look I said to bring me good people’. And of course he told me that I spoke quickly,” she added.
The weakness of Joaquín Reyes
Joaquin Reyes He tries to spend as much time as possible with his family, which allows you to tour, whether on vacation, at family meals or going to the movies. He shares his passion for humor with his children. “I laugh a lot with my children, they are very funny, especially Ester. She has a great sense of humor. They both have it, but she has a very natural grace“, he said in an interview on ‘Being Parents’. “They love that I dedicate myself to making people laugh, makes them see me as some kind of superhero, because mine is not a typical job of a father, saying funny things. Many times I have taken them to the theater with me so that they could see that making people laugh is still a job,” Reyes added.
The truth is I was headed to be an illustrator after studying Fine Arts at the University of Cuenca, where he met his good friend and colleague Ernesto Sevilla. He is like a brother to him. They both grew up in Albacete and took their first steps together in the profession of humor in ‘La hora chanante’, ‘Muchachada Nui’, ‘Museo Coconut’ and ‘Retorno a Lilifor’. She also filmed the series ‘Chapter 0’ with him in 2018.
The other man in her life is her makeup artist, Nacho Díaz. Without him I would be nobody. “I can’t separate the character from the makeup and that is why I always vindicate Nacho Díaz, with whom I have been working from the beginning, winner of the Goya for While the war lasts, by Amenábar, for characterizing Unamuno, Franco and Millán Astray. To create the character, makeup is essential to me because, as you well know, I don’t imitate the voice and I do all of them the same, with a La Mancha accent…”, he confessed in an interview in La Vanguardia.
