Alfredo Olivas keeps his promise and surprises at the La Firma concert

Actor Tom Holland and soccer player Lionel Messi surprised their followers with a promotional video for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the next installment of the Marvel superhero that will hit theaters on July 29.

An unexpected meeting

In the clip, which went viral on social networks, Peter Parker tries to go unnoticed in a store. The calm is broken when Messi appears looking for Spider-Man using an application called “Spidey Tracker.”

Upon meeting face to face, Parker recognizes the world champion and asks him in English:

“Are you Messi?”

The striker responds affirmatively and explains that he is looking for the spider hero. The conversation flows in both languages, and in a key moment, Holland’s character surprises by saying in Spanish:

“Wait here”

The promotion ends with a tour through the skies of New York, where Messi accompanies Spider-Man in a sequence that evokes the classic scenes of the superhero swinging between buildings.

Users on networks celebrated the meeting of two of the most popular figures in sports and entertainment. Some described the match as that of the “spider” and the “goat”, in reference to Messi’s nickname as the best footballer of all time.

Divorce, only on stage

Mario Bezares and his wife Brenda have shown that their relationship can do anything. Not only the age difference (12 years), but also the controversy of the Stanley Case and the public scrutiny that the comedian faced. Even his time on the reality show Would you bet on me? was a test he passed.

Despite everything, Bezares claims to believe in eternal love.

“I don’t believe in divorce, that’s why we’ve been married for 34 years; I’m educated the old-fashioned way. I think that for a separation to happen you need to no longer be compatible or have done things that your partner doesn’t accept, but I think you should fight to the end before taking a step like that, because nowadays young people return home for whatever reason,” he said.

He acknowledges that there was a moment of crisis, but they chose to distance themselves to resolve their differences, without reaching separation.

“Fortunately the separation did not happen, we are all still well, but we had to reinvent ourselves and conquer each other again every day. We did not take therapy, but I think that by talking people understand each other, that communication is the basis of all couples.”

Today, more united than ever, the word divorce is only pronounced in the theater. The play Let’s divorce my love was re-released this weekend at the Broadway Theater of the Manolo Fábregas Theater Center, produced by Omar Suárez.

With a renewed cast —Lis Vega, Adrián Di Monte, Michelle Vieth, Carlos Espejel and Homero Ferruzca—, the comedy of messes follows the story of a couple who decide to separate, but first must sell a cabin. The problem: each one brings his new partner.

Bezares assures that they respect the script by Patricia Martínez and the direction by Leny Zundel, although each actor prints his own style. “It’s a very light comedy, very beautiful,” he comments. The play seeks to make the audience complicit, as in any comedy of entanglements.

A marriage proof against everything

Mario and Brenda Bezares’ bond has faced challenges that would make any couple falter. Not only the difference of 12 years, but also the comedian’s judicial scandal during the well-known Stanley Case.

Mario himself has pointed out that his time on the reality show “Would you bet on me?” It was another difficult test for the relationship. However, the actor maintains a firm stance on marriage.

“I don’t believe in divorce, that’s why we’ve been married for 34 years; I’m educated the old-fashioned way. I think that for there to be a separation you need to no longer be compatible or have done things that your partner doesn’t accept, but I think you should fight to the end before taking a step like that, because nowadays young people return home for whatever reason,” declared Bezares.

The age difference has always been a recurring theme, but they assure that love can conquer everything. The Stanley Affair affected their career and put them in the public eye, but it also strengthened their union. The couple has been together for more than three decades, demonstrating that certain values—such as perseverance and commitment—are still valid.
