The sudden death of comedian Paco Arévalo on January 3 left the world of acting in mourning. There were many personalities who were most affected by this march and who came to say goodbye to the actor to protect their loved ones. However, the controversy arose when Malena Gracia, Arévalo’s ex-partner, left the funeral home crying and claiming that she had been kicked out of the funeral home. Now, after that incident, Manolo Sarriá, Paco’s friend, has spoken to the press for the first time.
Before the microphones of Europa Press, Manolo assured that the death of his friend has been a real blow for him. “It has been a hard blow, very hard, very hard, because I and Arévalo called each other a month, maybe three or four times, and when we started in the 1-2-3 we, as the Pencil Sharpener Duo, Arévalo was already a figure , a star,” he expressed, visibly affected.
And the fact is that touch makes love, and after working together on several projects, they established a great bond. “We grew very fond of him” and from then on “we have had the same representative, every time I went to Valencia I went there with him, I was with him,” he was honest. Although the man from Malaga already knew that the actor’s health had suffered somewhat in recent months, his departure could not be expected. “Lately we have met at some party, some story, and I already saw that he was a little out of sorts, right? So, not to die for, obviously, what surprised me was that and I was surprised by the news and I passed it by bad,” he explained.
As it could not be otherwise, the press asked him about Malena Gracia and the controversy she was involved in with Arévalo’s family. “This controversy, apart from the fact that I never go in there… those are things about them, about family members and things from there, I believe that those of us who are on the outside should not even enter, but rather look out on the landing of the door, right? Because those are very particular things,” he said.
“I can have my opinion, but… Who are you? Then… And it would also be an opinion that is the opinion of a very, very, very good friend of mine, who has called me countless times to ask One thing he did was very nice, which was to help children with Down syndrome and all that, and I have gone to all the performances we have done, so his private life belongs to everyone and that’s it.” , he said about the matter.
Finally, the comedian spoke about his time on the culinary reality show Bake off. Manolo joked that “I’m second. Silver medalist” and revealed which of his teammates he gets along with best. And, despite the fact that he has a good relationship with everyone, there is someone who has been a great support. “The Salinas, who are in the same hotel and all that, had formed a trio, who are great and we had a good time,” he revealed.
