Consuelo Duval and her irony with ‘until death do us part’
“I’ve been married three times, so you say how I believe in marriage, right?” Consuelo Duval says between laughs. The actress does not shy away from the subject: she married Ariel (the father of her children who left them), Sergio Juárez (who was unfaithful to her) and the producer Armando Ciurana.
“I admire those who manage to maintain their commitment for many years and I would have liked to be able to do so, but I was prevented from doing so,” he acknowledges.
Just that ironic—but genuine—look at eternal vows now leads her to star in “Bodas S.A.”, a series that premiered this Friday on ViX. She plays a professional wedding planner. The contrast is delicious.
The industry behind ‘I do’
To prepare, Duval took actual wedding planning classes. He discovered a whole universe that he didn’t know about.
“For me it was about the food, the civilian clothes and the guest list, but it is a very harsh industry,” he confesses.
Together with Gisselle Kuri—his co-star—they see the series as a fun critique of how weddings lost their symbolic value to become pure economic display. Everything to look good on social networks.
“It is seen more as a business, it is seeing how they can manage even a priest to get someone married,” highlights Gisselle.
His seventh leading role and that forgotten producer
This is Duval’s seventh main character in two years—something unthinkable at the beginning of his career. He remembers that a producer (whose name he doesn’t even register) told him that he couldn’t act on the big screen because… his mouth was too big.
“More than showing him that I could, I showed it to myself; he was forgotten and I’m still here,” he says with a smile that today is his hallmark.
She is accompanied by a great cast: Antonio de la Vega, Paul Stanley, Michael Ronda, Ruy Senderos, Christian Chávez and Rubén Zamora. Recorded at the end of 2024, this comedy comes to laugh—lovingly—at all the theater around the ‘happily ever after’.
