Jorge Ramos was interviewed on an InstaLive by his young colleague, Jessica Rodríguez, the host of ‘Despierta América’, in where in almost an hour they talked about everything, and the journalist from Univision Noticias revealed things to him that had never been said before, but what caught his attention was the special request he made to him.
What did Ramos ask Rodríguez? “Help me Jessi, I want to interview Bad Bunny”… Of course, the co-host of ‘Despierta América’ was amazed that the journalist, whom she has admired since arriving in the United States from his native Venezuela, was making this almost public request to have him in ‘Algo Persona, with Jorge Ramos’ on VIX.
“It’s difficult, I think he’s a character very interesting, I think that once he sees what we have done in ‘Something Personal’ he will be interested… Since it is not my world, as I always talk to politicians and presidents, he thinks that I am going to talk to him about politics ”, continued Ramos.
Jessica, who shared that unlike him , she was one of the first to interview him when he began to become known, she told him that the publicist had confessed that what the Bad Rabbit doesn’t like is being asked superficial questions .
“Bad Bunny, through Jessica, I want to talk to you, what I want to sit with you for an hour, I want to understand how the most listened to artist in the world, regardless of language, has understood that even through Spanish, he reaches the whole world” continued the news journalist from Univision.
Ramos, who on Sundays at 10 Pm Eastern time presents ‘Algo persona, con Jorge Ramos’ on VIX, he told her that he would also like to be able to interview Rosalía, and Pope Francis, who would like to ask if heaven and winter exist. Let us remember that on more than one occasion the Mexican journalist has stated that he is an atheist.
Jessica and Ramos talked about many topics in these almost 39 minutes, they confessed about their roots, their beginnings and the journalist talked about what they are most proud of gives him when it comes to defining himself as a person: being the father of Paola, Nicolás, and now Carlota, the youngest daughter of his partner Chiquinquirá Delgado with Daniel Sarcos.
“He could define me as an immigrant, as a journalist, as Chiqui’s partner, as the father of Paola and Nicolás, and now also as Carlota’s father. I think that journalism and fatherhood are very similar, what is required is that the 50% is that you are present and you have already earned a lot, you can be thousands of kilometers away and report is fine, but if you are in the place you earn a lot, and as a father too. Eugenio Derbez (it was his first ‘Algo Personal’ program for ViX) told me something very important, one says that he does a lot for his children, traveling, houses, shopping, but if you’re there you earn a lot“, confessed Ramos.
They talked about a subject that they rarely touch on, their fear of being ridiculous, their terror of getting out of what they think they should say in one word, their little possibility of being spontaneous .
“I have a very high aversion to ridicule, I have tried all my life to avoid being ridiculous, now Luz María Doria, who is the boss (executive producer of ‘Despierta América’ and ‘Algo Personal’) made me do a Tik Tok. One feels that he is making a fool of himself, the TikTok thing seems great to me, one always plays with a certain seriousness. García Márquez used to say that one has a public life that I lead seriously with a tie and all that, then you have a private life, and an intimate life… I always wear a serious public life, I’m very careful about what I say and what I don’t say, I think I’m breaking with TikTok, and I still don’t feel very comfortable“, Ramos confessed to Jessi.
What do you mean? That in this Sunday’s episode of ‘Algo Personal con Jorge Ramos’, there will be an interview with Yuri, where the singer will reveal very painful facts, will sing with Mariachis and will even do a TikTok with Jorge Ramos! the first in the journalist’s life.
And as for “ridicule” versus spontaneity, the presenter of Univision Noticias confessed to Jessi Roríguez how much he admires something in her that he still deals with.
“It is very easy for you to let go and you do it wonderfully, because letting go is the most difficult thing in the world. world. It reminds me of one of my first producers who told me that naturalness is the most difficult thing in this profession, because we are in a totally artificial environment… Letting go is very easy to say, I’ve been thirty-odd years without letting up, taking care of every word so that people believe you, if people don’t believe you as a journalist, it’s absolutely useless… On social networks they accuse us of a thousand things but they continue glued here”.
They talked about the lack of celebrations and gifts in their childhood since there were many and little money, and the interview ended with a surprise that he had Jessi to Ramos, which was more the question that he did not know how to answer because of his terror of falling into ‘gossip’ than because of his lack of openness.
It is about his partner Chiqui Delgado who sent him to ask: “What was the first impression you had of me when you saw me?”.
What did the journalist answer? “I loved it… It changed my life”. And despite the fact that Jessi tried to get more lyrics out of him, in this answer to a question that wasn’t even hers, but from the woman she sleeps with every night, she didn’t succeed.
