An admiration between mothers who struggle
Marjorie de Sousa is living her moment. The premiere of Perfume de Gardenia has her on cloud nine, especially because it is the first time that her son Matías sees her on stage. “You feel excited to see that your son is proud of you,” she confessed.
And in the midst of that happiness, he had to talk about Aracely Arámbula, the actress whom he replaces in the play. He did it with respect and an unexpected connection.
“I admire her, I love her very much, we are not friends, but she is a woman in whom I reflect because I admire her, she is a great woman, she is a great girl, super hardworking, you always see her with her children getting ahead and I identify with her.”
That’s the point. Both are public mothers whose children have grown up away from their parents. Aracely with Luis Miguel. Marjorie with Julián Gil. A parallel that does not go unnoticed.
The topic that always eludes
Of course, the media tried to sneak in the uncomfortable question: what about Julián Gil? When will you see your son after almost nine years?
The response was a polite but firm ‘not today’.
“My heart, I’m not going to talk about that right now, especially today when it’s such an impressive day, so spectacular for me… it’s a moment that’s very much mine.”
He preferred to focus on the good: Matías recording it with his cell phone, knowing the dialogues. A personal triumph after a long legal battle.
In the end, she made it clear that this role is an opportunity for any talented woman. And regarding Aracely, he stated: “she is going to return, obviously!” A wink of solidarity between two professionals who understand what it means to shine under pressure… and raise children in the public eye.
