From the most famous house to the world of dubbing
Content creator Abelito is experiencing an unstoppable moment. After coming in third place in “La Casa de los Famosos México”, starring in a series and now voicing the villain of the new Minions installment, his career does not stop. However, his mother makes sure he doesn’t lose the apartment.
“The reality show was a watershed in my life. I can’t lose my apartment, my mother talks to me every day to tell me that God comes first and not to lose my apartment, so how to do it (laughs). I’m from a town (in Zacatecas) where people greet each other by name,” she says.
Before the interview, the woman came out greeting everyone, proud that her son is still the same. “I think they are there because of their work, I don’t know who else is in dubbing, but if they are there it is because they do it well,” he said.
The challenge of giving life to a monster
Abelito, 25 years old, is just over 1.10 meters tall and weighs about 30 kilos. He rose to fame on TikTok during the pandemic. Now he plays Goomi, a green being who befriends the Minions but hides a dark objective for Earth.
In “Minions & Monsters”, which arrives in Mexico on July 1, he shares credits with Carlos Ballarta and journalist Alberto Lati.
“A word that was difficult for me to say was monsters, because I had to make sure that the N and S could be heard. I speak very fast, they have also told me that. Monsters I repeated it many times,” Abelito recalls.
This is the seventh film with the yellow characters since the franchise began 16 years ago with “Despicable Me”, which already has four installments.
