The band formed by Anahi, Maite Perroni, Dulce Maria, Christoper von Uckermann, Christian Chavez It is Alfonso Herrera split up in 2008, leaving fans without new performances from the group until the announcement of the “Soy Rebelde World Tour”, which came as a great farewell gift to the fanbase that remains in love with the group to this day.
In Brazil, the group has already performed shows on the 10th and 11th of November in Rio de Janeiro, and the 12th, 13th in São Paulo, with four more dates scheduled to take the stage in the capital of São Paulo: 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th, of this month, all already sold out. Even so, not all members of the formation generated through Televisa’s soap opera “Rebelde” participated in the meeting, asAlfonso Herrera chose not to be present at the reunion shows.
What is Alfonso Herrera doing?
This is because the actor, who is also known as Poncho, has focused his career on starring in films and series. Furthermore, the artist developed new works in dubbing, as well as being present in several other projects, as he is a humanitarian activist.
I’m very happy with the projects I have at the moment, which is where I’m putting my energy. I know this project [os novos shows do RBD] It will be a resounding success and I have nothing but good wishes for them”, revealed Herrera in an interview with the newspaper El País in March this year, while promoting his latest film, “¡Que Viva México!”
Thus, while the other members of RBD were meeting for rehearsals for the new tour, the artist was in Argentina filming the feature film “Tesis Sobre Una Domesticación”, which adapts the book of the same name by Camila Sosa Villada.
It’s the story of a lawyer who falls in love with a trans woman and decides to start a family. I was very moved because the film is based on a book by Camila Sosa Villada, and she herself acted and adapted the script”, he explained, in an interview with Esquire magazine, from Mexico (via Revista Caras).
Herrera He is also a voice actor for the animation “¡Patos!”, he was part of the children’s program “Aprendemos Juntos 2030 KIDS”, which is available on YouTube, as well as starring in the film “Rebel Moon – Part 1: A Menina do Fogo”, by Zack Snyderwhich will be released directly into the Netflix catalog on December 22nd this year.
More than that, Poncho is one of the ambassadors of ANCUR, the UN agency for refugees. So much so, that this year he traveled on a mission to Poland, Ukraine and Slovakia, as well as participating in fundraising campaigns.
It is also worth remembering that new work is not the only reason why Herrera to be left out of the tour. In the chat with El País, he clarified that when RBD emerged there were problems in the contracts with the broadcaster responsible for creating the group, Televisa.
“A magazine reported that I had asked for an exorbitant amount of money to participate in the reunion and what I say is that they better pay my companions for all the mess they got themselves into for so many years. It has nothing to do with money, it has to do with what is fair”, the actor began explaining.
We signed a contract in which we ceded the rights to the characters, their images and, of everything that was explored in terms of merchandising, we didn’t see a single cent. I was 23 or 24 years old and I saw my colleagues’ faces and my face everywhere — selling cookies, gum, juices, notebooks, sneakers, pencils and nothing. The broadcaster was not fair and it is not a question of money. I say again, this has to do with a work issue! For example, in the show we did at the Los Angeles Coliseum, for 63 thousand people, they paid 18 thousand pesos for it [aproximadamente 5.100 reais]”.
