He usually occupies the collaborator’s chair in ‘El Hormiguero’, being one of the most common faces of the program, but this time he had to star in it. Juan del Val was the main guest thanks to his new book, ‘Bocabesada’. “It fascinates me,” Pablo Motos toasted. «I always have a hard time explaining what a novel is about. To summarize, ‘Bocabesada’ is the name of a television production company in which different characters of all ages and conditions meet. And in the end, all the plots are excuses to tell characters, which is what I like,” explained the author who classified his work as “acid and tender.”
«I think there are too many cheesy people in the world. And I think that sensitivity and kitsch are often confused. I am a prisoner of my image. I have always been. I usually laugh and I like being with people, but it is true that I have a different image and it is possible that, at some point and unconsciously, I have encouraged it. They tell me that I impose a lot, but I think I am quite accessible,” Del Val confessed in response to his host’s assessment that some see him as someone distant and cool. «Modesty is always a lie. I believe much more in humility and wanting to learn. Now, if you ask me that there are many people who see me as a pimp… How do I answer? “Well, like a pimp,” he explained ironically.
The writer looked back to remember his complicated youth. «In adolescence everything went wrong and fear entered. I remember spending years of my life with a permanent knot in my stomach. With tremendous anxiety. I was a miserable student with quite a few problems. He was a good kid, but sometimes he didn’t seem like it,” he discovered sincerely. And he was grateful for the unconditional support of his mother. «He is the strongest person I know. It’s not easy being someone weak next to him. “I had the feeling that I couldn’t fail,” he said.
Del Val is married to Nuria Roca and she also appeared in the conversation. «I am certain that he would not have been happy with anyone else. Understanding me is not easy at all. We have been together for 24 years, but we always have a provisional nature of things, as if it could end tomorrow. Sometimes we have talked that we could separate and I am very clear that I could be with many people, but a couple would be impossible. “She’s not so clear about it,” he declared.
Motos did not hesitate to uncover something that was about to destroy the friendship that unites him with Del Val. “We are very friends, but this year we had a very big crisis because they made you an offer of a lot of money from another television network and I took it horribly wrong,” he announced. His interlocutor grimaced. «Fuck, man! Let’s see… It is true that when someone calls you and tells you that he loves you and that you are very handsome, it is something that comforts you. What happened to me with you is that I was very afraid that you would stop being my friend. That killed me. And I know that couldn’t be,” he argued seriously. The master of ceremonies clarified how the conflict ended. «Let me tell you how you solved it. There is a moment when you go up to my dressing room, come in and tell me that you hadn’t fixed it. You asked me to tell you what I really thought of you. I was cornered and I didn’t want to hurt you. So I told you that I needed time,” said the communicator. «In the end, the only important thing in life is the truth. You can catch me in many ways, but never by running away. And more than one friend of mine. And we came out absolutely stronger from that. Crossing paths with you has been one of my greatest strokes of luck,” Del Val toasted before joining Motos in a hug.
