The comedians mentioned that it bothers them to be approached by fans on the street, a situation that Medina described as arrogant, highlighting the importance of valuing the public’s support. During the interview, Jorge Luna and Ricardo Mendoza highlighted that they feel it is wasted time and they prefer not to go out and expose themselves.
“I don’t go out to avoid those things, to avoid being harassed in the street and two, if I go out it’s because my children are already very bored and I don’t want to give you three seconds of my time because I’m with my children and I’m working all the time. day,” he said. Jorge Luna.
These words were seconded by Ricardo Mendozawho indicated that he hates being asked for greetings on the street.
“I hate greetings, I hate having to pretend that I love someone, I hate it,” he said. “It really takes up my time, I want to go there, I have to stop and say hello, I don’t know you and I have to pretend that I love you. “I don’t love you, I don’t know you,” said the comedian.
Although this interview aired in June 2023, Magaly Medina commented on the matter, indicating that the attitude of Jorge Luna and Ricardo Mendoza It is reprehensible, especially because thanks to the public they are getting ahead, without detracting from how talented they can be.
The presenter emphasized that fame comes with responsibilities and that it is not easy to stay in the public spotlight without interaction with fans, referring to the generosity of the public as a pillar of her success. She in turn mentioned how the betrayal of this appreciation could harm her image and career.
“I can’t believe it, there is a spirit of arrogance, I have to tell them, they have arrived and have become successful people, their type of comedy has made a profit for them, people line up at the theater to see them, they go to their performances , Peruvians abroad buy their tickets to see them, because they like it, because they managed to penetrate the hearts of the people and that is something for us, those of us who work in front of the public, those of us who seek applause, the recognition of people, we have to be eternally grateful,” he said. Magaly Medina on his ATV show.
Magaly Medina She pointed out that, in a way, she understands her discomfort because she also experiences the same situation, but “as she always said: ‘meat comes with bones’.” That being said, he shared her personal perspective on the complications that fame can bring to everyday life.
The presenter, she said, no longer goes out much and prefers to travel abroad where she can walk freely, however, she does not blame the public for these challenges. That is why if she meets a follower on the street she does not hesitate to take a photo with him if she asks.
“Saying that ‘we don’t have three minutes of my time for an autograph, for a photo’, the meat comes out on the bone. We would not have this if the public were not so generous to see us, that is something we have to treasure, because it is also fragile, maintaining ourselves is very difficult,” said Magaly Medina, very annoyed.
“I find it most surprising and unfortunate to hear it from them, that I applaud them for having gotten to where they got,” he said.
The journalist not only condemned the attitude of Moon and Mendoza, but also offered them constructive advice on how to best approach their relationship with followers. “When you reach a certain position among the people, you no longer go eating the anticucho where they crouch because everyone is going to want a photo. Popularity makes us withdraw,” said the TV host, who addressed Jorge directly.
“People don’t deserve your slights. Your children would not have what they have now, if it were not for those people whom you throw away in that way, also with pedantry,” she concluded.
