A television veteran enters reality
The wait is over for the followers of The House of the Famous Mexico. Tonight, after weeks of rumors, the first member of the 2026 edition was officially confirmed. Galilea Montijo hosted the special broadcast where she announced that Ernesto Laguardia will be the number one participant.
Emotion and strategy
During his presentation, the actor said he was excited to begin this new stage. Although he is already a well-known face, he promised to show his true essence.
“They will see my personality as I am. Nobody has lived with me 24/7 and I really want the public to get to know me.”
He also advanced his plan for the confinement. Without hesitation, he made it clear that he is going for victory:
“I have a strategy and that is to have fun, give it my all and take out one by one.”
Release date and legacy
The house of the famous Mexico will open its doors on July 26 at 8:30 p.m.. The reality show will broadcast live 24 hours a day.
With more than four decades of career in television, film and theater, Laguardia is an actor with wide recognition. He debuted in 1983 in the telenovela La fiera, alongside Victoria Ruffo and Angélica Aragón. But it was not until 1987 when he established himself as a youthful leading man with his role as Pancho in Quinceañera.
His filmography includes more than 40 melodramas, including Poor Relatives, Lazos de amor, Alondra, Amigos x Siempre, Amor Real and Corona de ojos. In addition, he hosted the program Hoy for almost a decade.
Now, the public will be able to see it without a script or filters. The house awaits you.
