Pedro Sola faces boycott from brands for comments about dogs

British actor Mike Preston, famous for playing ‘Papagallo’ in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, died at the age of 93. The news was confirmed by his wife, Josie Preston, to Variety magazine. The death occurred on June 8 in Florida. So far, the cause has not been revealed.

From music to the road

Preston – whose real name was Jack Davis – began his career as a singer. In the late 1950s, his version ofMr. Bluehit the charts. He later emigrated to Australia, where he worked in nightclubs and hosted the show In Melbourne Tonight.

His leap into acting came with the police series Homicide, where he played detective Bob Delaney. Then he joined the soap opera Bellbird and participated in productions such as Tandarra, Cop Shop and Chopper Squad.

On-screen legacy

He made his film debut with Stoney (1969), but his most memorable role was in the sequel to Mad Max. He also acted in the science fiction film Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn. On television, he had appearances in series such as Ellen, Alien Nation and Law and Order.

Before dedicating himself to entertainment, Preston was a boxer. His last artistic work was as a voice actor in the video game The Getaway (2002).

The family grows

Carlos Rivera and Cynthia Rodríguez announced that they are expecting their second daughter. The news was shared on Instagram with a message full of emotion.

“We asked you like a miracle, and faith made us look for you,” wrote the singer, taking up a fragment of the song he composed for his first son, León.

In the photograph you can see a blanket, a knitted outfit and a rose, details that reveal that they are expecting a girl. The hands of Rivera, Rodríguez and little León also appear.

The celebrities announced that the baby will be named María, written with petals. “We kept your space in our hearts and we loved you even without knowing you… Here we are waiting for you with immense enthusiasm,” they added.

Reactions in networks

The news was celebrated by celebrities such as Anahí, El Capi Pérez, Andrea Meza and Ximena Navarrete. “The most beautiful news in the world. I love you!” said the exRBD.

Rivera had confessed last April, during an interview on “Despierta América”, that she would love to have another child. “Since I don’t know if it’s going to be a boy or a girl, let it be whatever God wants,” he said then.

León, who will now be an older brother, was born when the couple had already fulfilled several dreams. Mary arrives in a stage of stability and plenitude.

The controversy over Pedro Sola‘s statements about pets in public places continues to generate reactions. The host of Ventaneando declared live his rejection of seeing dogs in stores, supermarkets and restaurants, and launched violent comments against the owners, which unleashed criticism on social networks.

Despite a public apology, activists and public figures maintain the accusation. In this context, the Santa Bárbara neighborhood, in Iztapalapa, was the scene of an urban art mural signed by the artist Nocke. The work, titled Beware of Pedro, shows Sola surrounded by famous dogs such as Snoopy, Scooby-Doo, Courage and Snotlout. In the image, the presenter appears with an annoyed expression, cap and glasses, accompanied by the phrases What were you saying? and No fear.

The mural is part of an exhibition that seeks to make street art visible and give space to young creators. Its appearance on networks has been interpreted as a satire that rejects animal abuse and questions the driver’s position.
