You have to make a decision, that is, You can’t be like this all your life, your mom won’t support you all your life‘”counted the celeb.

THE TIME JOSÉ EDUARDO DERBEZ SUFFERED A TERRIBLE DISPLACEMENT BY A PRODUCER
The artist claimed that having the surnames Derbez Ruffo did not help him much while knocking on doors to ask for an opportunity.
“It touched me that they told me: ‘he can’t receive you because he’s not here in Mexico, but thanks we give them to him’, I told him: ‘well, okay, thanks’, I already left with my photos and the producer left his office, then I said: ‘what a little mother’, and so there were several”recounted.
However, his worst experience was with a producer who, although he did receive it, made a big rudeness to him.
“This was the worst ever. He received me in his office and while I was talking to him, telling him that I wanted to start, that I wanted to make my career in this, that I wanted to dedicate myself to this, he was playing on his computer and laughing watching messages. So I would finish speaking and say to myself: ‘excuse me, were you saying that?’ And he would start again… and he would laugh again at his messages and playing on his computer and he would say to me again: ‘excuse me, were you saying that?’ The third time, I told him: ‘no nothing, thank you very much for having received me, I’m going to retire now’, he opens the door for me and I left. I said: ‘Wow, this is strong’”he confessed.
