And although there were pleasant moments that they will never be able to forget, there are also others that they did not fully enjoy, such as the scene in which they both ride on the beach, which became a real regret for the singer.
“Do you remember that we recorded the entrance of the horse I think it is one of the worst memories I have here , because it was bareback, you were wearing your mega jeans, they oiled everything and I was wearing Marimar’s little dress with some shorts down, but I was slipping off the horse wet and everything , where did I get hold of… I couldn’t! But yes you had to go with a happy face “, she mentioned.
Shortly afterwards he remembered that in one of the scenes Capetillo ended up making tremendous courage because a fantasy play was not recorded that had been difficult for him to achieve, for which he had even taken classes with a professional footballer.
“ It cost you because you scratched, I remember you threw a tantrum. ‘Why not did they record it? ‘ Because it was one that came out cannon and I don’t know why it wasn’t recorded. I do remember why you had a cannon and who knows where the cameraman was fixing something “.
The husband of Biby Gaytán assured that ‘Marimar is a watershed in his career, and although music He is also passionate about television, television has been an important part of his life.
“ It makes me very proud because it is a job that undoubtedly marked a before and after my life on television.

Of course, they could not fail to mention the iconic scene that continues to date being remembered, and is the one in which the protagonist pulls out a gold chain that was in a quagmire with her mouth, and that was engraved with real mud at the request of Thalía.
“ They made like plastic and put chocolate on it and I saw it as Naranjozo and when I recorded the first scene and took out the chain it was like orange, it looked shabby . So I went to a little corner and told Beatriz: ‘ let’s do it right. It is the forceful scene that will be repeated for revenge in the end, it has to be for real ‘ “, so they later asked the production to create a space with real mud.
