"Let people pay attention to the thickness of their tears": Jesulín de Ubrique breaks down in 'El Hormiguero'

El Hormiguero continued its week of great guests after Hugo Silva's visit and did so by receiving two very different characters such as the writer Albert Espinosa and Jesulín de Ubrique. The bullfighter could not repress himself and starred in one of the most exciting moments of the night.

This curious couple came to talk about the premiere of El camino a casa, the new laSexta program that premieres this Thursday, April 4, starting at 10:30 p.m. and that will return to the childhood places of several of the best-known celebrities. of our country. The Andalusian right-hander will return to his school and to the humble house in which he lived with all his family.

Before becoming a bullfighting star, when he was barely a teenager, he had a childhood like any other child, although he would go with his father to a nearby farm to learn to fight when he left class. When he saw the images of the program, he was moved again in front of the cameras.

Thanks to this program, produced by Pablo Motos and his partner Jorge Salvador, Jesús was able to return after 38 years to the place where he lived with his parents and three brothers. There he found the bathtub in which he bathed when he was just a child, so he decided to take it with him so he could bathe his last son with María José Campanario in it.

"The images have been a cloth of tears... It is to return and it has made me a fantastic illusion, I have been very moved and it has brought me indelible memories of my life. I was very happy at that time of my life," he said. "Being in places where I have lived 35 years ago has been something very emotional and personal," he confessed to Pablo Motos.

After seeing the images in which he returns to his childhood home, the bullfighter could not hold back in front of the cameras. "I thank you, uncle. I am a hard person to shed tears and the program has been great, fantastic and you have given me a gift," he told Albert Espinosa, the presenter of this new space.

Although he had to grow up early because of his profession and because many people's salaries depended on his successes in the market, that does not prevent him from continuing to be very childish today: "I still like being a child. My mother tells me 'you're like little kids', but I like to be childish".

Albert Espinosa took advantage of his time at El Hormiguero to ask people to "look at the thickness of his tears" that can be seen on El camino a casa. In addition, he came out in defense of the extorero after the new attacks by Belén Esteban and the controversies that have haunted him for decades: "Forgive and forget for the greater good."
