It had been several months since Fernando Weaver did not go to The Anthill and this Tuesday he returned to present his new work, the film stories, which opens this Friday, May 24 in theaters. With a large number of films behind him, this has become something special for the actor since, according to what he said, he has not been paid to work on it.
“Paco called me to make the film. This has been done in several years because Juan Diego gave Paco something wonderful. He called me and showed me the sequences that he had already shot and I started to cry,” he confessed to Motos. Those feelings led him to want to be in it, knowing that It was “a small film and it wasn’t going to get paid.””.

I shit on all the finance ministers that there has been, in all the branches…”, he stated, although with a touch of humor. Regarding what happened to him, he assured that “it was not an inspection, it was a search down to his underwear.”
Fernando Tejero also spoke about his other fears: “Pain is part of life.

In this film Fernando Tejero gives life to a taxi driver who picks up a pregnant woman who is about to give birth. For this reason, she wanted to tell on the Pablo Motos program, an anecdote that she had in a taxi, although very different, one day when she went out to party with her friend, the actress Lola Dueñas. As soon as they get into the car they realize that “it was a family cemetery, there was a stench and a mixture… It smelled like dead beings.”
Because of this, Dueñas began to get dizzy and told him that he was going to vomit. “I tell him: don’t vomit, I’ll do it,” Tejero recalls. The actor asked the taxi driver to stop, but he replied that he couldn’t at that moment. But neither of them could resist the desire and both began to throw away everything they had eaten. “All actors are equally vicious”The driver ended up insulting them.
