The Serie “Who killed him?” is about the murder of the Mexican driver Paco Stanleyand members of the main cast, such as Diego Boneta, Zuria Vega and Luis Gerardo Mendezthey underwent different makeup processes to look like their characters. Belinda plays Paola Duranteand to do so he modified his appearance, which caused mouth sores.

In an interview with Javier Risco The singer spoke about it: “Recording and speaking with prosthetics in your mouth is a work. I mean, I had prosthetics as well as braces. He had prosthetics on the top, on the bottom, on the back, so that his face was completely different from mine, right? And it was very complicated to speak, suddenly I couldn’t be understood. After the series I had sores inside my lips, I think for a month. I spoke and it hurt me, it was painful.”

Durante’s way of speaking was another of the challenges for Belindawho sought to be convincing in his interpretation: “Paola’s tone is very specific, it is very different from mine, her way of speaking. Well, that was exactly what we wanted to achieve, that was exactly the goal.for Belinda to disappear completely and to be able to put myself in Paola’s shoes, from the tone of her hair, how she spoke, what her expressions were like.”

Paola’s hard life when she was deprived of her freedom was something that deeply affected Belinda when she was studying the character.: “At that time when I am representing her, she was very young, she was vulnerable. The interviews that exist with her are much later, after prison, after having lived through all these traumas, three years in prison, being tried, everyone called her a “murderer,” that is, what They call you that, I can’t even imagine it. (Paola Durante She spent a year and nine months in prison, according to what she herself commented on the television channel. Youtube which premiered a few days ago).

However, the support he received Belinda by the production team during the recordings was something that helped her not feel so burdensome about the work: “Everything was made very easy, working with (the director) Humberto Hinojosa and with the entire team. I trusted. And simply reading, putting myself in (Paola’s) shoes, well obviously you get more into the situation, and I let myself go. It was difficult to imagine what she experienced and how she tells it and so on.” The next episodes of “Who killed him?” will be available on the platform Amazon Prime Video on June 7, precisely the 25th anniversary of the death of Paco Stanley.
