“I really hit them”: Sergio Defassio spoke of Fernando Colunga's “dark” side

Fernando Colunga is participating in the series History of a Clan after staying away from acting for a few years, however, his colleague and friend Sergio Defassio revealed what his true behavior is like on set.

The actor described Colunga as someone very “physical”, since instead of simply playing the action scenes, he gives real blows and this attitude extends to his entire personality, because it is “of arms to take”.

In conversation with De firsthand, Fernando's colleague related that his behavior even led to the resignation of other acting partners, one of them being Pierre Angelo.

“Before me was Pierre Angelo and he had to leave because he really grabbed the actor, because there were strong scenes of violence and he threw him against the scenery so Pierre Angelo left!” , he mentioned.

Later, Defassio mentioned that even Fernando Coluna's greeting was aggressive, “I have a very nice, very interesting anecdote about him. He is always strong and to everyone he says' Hello '(with force, throwing his fist) and everything is always physical.” , he explained as he made the gesture.

In addition to Pierre Angelo, there was another actor who had to resign because of Colunga's behavior and there was even more: “There was another guy who doesn't remember what his name is right now and he also left! It was like 2 or 3 actors who had to leave because Fernando is from arms to take. He really hit them,” he revealed to Firsthand.

Faced with the attitude of the soap opera actor, Sergio Defassio began to collaborate with him and they ended up being friends, but the process to forge that bond took a lot of work. For his part, he had to find strategies to “turn” the aggressions and confuse him.

“It's his style, so they wanted an actor to put up with that style, I was younger obviously then one day he comes up to me very angry, he says: 'Sergio, is it true that you are saying that I 'get it? ' , and I say, 'no, I didn't say that Fernando, excuse me', (and he replied), 'what did you say? ' , well, that you and Lalo El Mimo, they beat me”,

Anyway, Defassio ended up falling prey to Colunga's realistic actions within his roles: “I told him, 'Fernando don't kick me, just mark it, '(and he said), 'no, not because this is experience' and he hit me, he did hit me”, he said in First Hand.

Finally, Defassio explained that what Fernando Colunga needs is to have friends, so he seeks to “get heavy”:

“After all that we get along and every time I see it, hugs, kisses and everything. And he says, 'He is of my race', that we are 'ñeros' let's say because to everyone 'Oh Fernando so handsome and so strong and all! ' ; no! He wanted them to take with him because he has no friends.”

The first photographs of Fernando Colunga on his return to acting recently came to light, as he was retired from television productions for almost seven years, his last work on a soap opera had been Pasión y Poder (2015); a few months ago he announced that he would participate in Historia of a clan, after the start of filming, the photographs of his return began to spread a few days ago.

Telemundo's production will be an adaptation of the Argentine series of the same name; at the time, Colunga said he was extremely excited to return to the screens with History of a Clan, as he is grateful to the production company for “letting him continue dreaming”.

“Day and night... this is how I could define this new adventure. I hope that the audience can enjoy this series as much as we are doing all the team behind this project,” explained the 55-year-old actor.
