Eugenio Derbez NEVER spoke badly of her, he referred to how badly she speaks Spanish. For those of us who speak Spanish, we did NOT understand Selena's dialogues, her Spanish is VERY bad.
Selena Gomez was portraying a character that was not fluent. That isn't the issue and Eugenio DID NOT CARE about the fluency. Watch his interview. His whole argument was that she's not expressing what she's saying because she doesn't understand it. It's so awkward to watch. She needed more time and her management set her up to fail.
"set her up to fail" while she's being praised by many critics and many respected industry peers and is collecting prestigious awards and nominations like infinity stones, bfr now
This has nothing to do with her accent people. Canelo has an accent and you can tell that he understands what he is trying to say. Selena sounds like a robot who just memorized her lines. If you speak spanish, you know. Its just bad. People that are defending her who don't even speak spanish themselves are the problem here... because if you do speak spanish, chances are you thought it was horrible too.
“I respect my first languages enough to never speak it” is the most ignorant, offensive, and cowardly statement I have ever heard on a talk show. On the contrary, you HONOR your native tongue(s) by practicing it EVEN IF you might “butcher” it. I am actually shocked that she is not getting backlash for that.
I was surprised by that comment as well, but I don't think she should get backlash for it. Firstly, what she actually said was that she wouldn't speak her other languages on The Social (or in another public venue). Secondly, she's allowed to make that decision for herself and to not want to get backlash from people who feel that she isn't speaking her other languages properly.
If you guys don’t speak Spanish then you can’t really tell how bad it was. It was not the acting in general it seemed that she could not understand what she was saying so sounded like a robot 🤖 flat. ( on her Spanish scenes) example: you suppose to be excited but sound sad or supposed to be mad and sound chill.
I don't think it was the accent, I saw Emilia Perez and I see it's her interpretation of the lines, I don't see anything wrong with what he said. I mean he didn't say anything about her person.
@@lisagraymygodlife3920 Need to show emotions, if you are sad you can't be smiling or have no expression, etc. She sound like a robot 🤖. Next movie she should study, practice more, understand what she is saying to show the right emotions. Eugenio Derbez know what he was talking about, he has a lonnnngggg career. He didn't say anything wrong to be apologizing. An actress should show emotions when they're acting, so we know if we should be crying, laughing etc etc Not because she has a bunch of followers it means she did great
I Am peruvian and as a latinamerican myself i can tell that when you are given a role in which you have to speak another language, you at least have to do the minimum task of researching about the culture and the Words/ phrases you are given. If you do not internalize the script,it Will come out as cringy and bland: that is the case of this movie and Selena ‘s terrible acting. Moreover, if you look up for the complete interview with Eugenio and the other lady, they praise the work of Selena in other movies. To sum up, she was not prepared for the role, and the one to blame for is the director.
People do care about accents. Sofia Vergara is always on the spotlight for her English. Eugenio said the truth, as a Mexican American you cannot understand what she is saying. He is an Actor, Producer and Director, nobody can say anything because the fans start attacking. She has a Mexican Father and doesnt even know Spanish.
Selena is such a sweetheart. However, this role was not for her. The movie was not about her. By saying it was made for her they over look Zoe and the other amazing actresses and actors. If Spanish wasn’t her strong and she acknowledged this time and time again, then she should’ve stepped back on this one. You don’t make a “white” “black” movie with Mexicans who don’t speak English. The movie will be boring because of delivery. It’s not that Mexicans criticize (which they do lol) it’s also a bit of common SENCE. She put herself on this situation knowing this might and would happen. Sorry Selena but we still loveeee you!!
I absolutely agree with the critics because you have to be fluent in order to fit in the native speaker role! Does that mean that she is not a good actress? Absolutely not she is amazing but to be honest that role was not for her. I would of liked to see a native Spanish speaker 😢 so many great actresses out there hoping to get a role like that and it gets taken by a non native Spanish speaker I think that is unfair! Selena you are great it was not about time! It takes years to perfect an accent❤
Honestly I doubt it was a matter of time but rather a lack of interest. Actors master foreign accents all the time and they have coaches for that. Selena is just used to doing the bare minimum and getting uploaded for that
I understand that is supposed to be Mexican American but if your Spanish is THAT bad you would be speaking English, not Spanish lol part of acting is making the audience believe your character and she just was not capable of this
I am Mexican American and I speak both languages very well I am also hired as a translator so this tv show please like really y’all need to be canceled bc all y’all due it’s get info from the social media
WHAT are they talking about, THE CHARACTER IS NOT A NATIVE SPEAKER, PERIOD, CASE CLOSED, its an American girl whos second language is Spanish NOT FLUENT, SO SHe fit that character, it is insane this is a topic
lol stop trying to gaslight Spanish speakers. It wasn't the so called accent. She was basically pretending to speak saying gibberish that sounded like Spanish to non Spanish speakers.
@@diegocelis1892 They did not. Those kids were both under 5 years old when their dad passed and go back to Mexico 4 years later and they are still fluent in Spanish. Given how weird Jessi sounded, those kids should've forgotten Spanish by then if she was their only input. This suggest that the character is actually supposed to be a better Spanish speaker than the way Selena portrayed her.
As a Hispanic, yes her accent was not great but… This is a comment to be made in private but NOT in public. Why? Because we don’t do our own that way! When Selena Quintanilla decided to sing in Spanish, her Spanish was bad too! Selena Gomez’s and Zoe Saldana’s names were what made so many people interested to even want to watch this movie. Selena worked hard and put herself on the line to do this. She gave a great performance despite her accent not being perfect (which only Hispanics are even noticing). We should not be publicly tearing down another Hispanic woman. If we observe something or have an opinion, that should be discussed privately and not aired publicly to hurt one of our own, who has reached the heights that some of us could only dream of. Senior Eugenio saying Selena’s accent was “indefensible” was a pretty rough criticism to make of her. He speaks in English in many movies with an accent of his own that is not perfect for English and no one attacks him for it. Selena’s character in this movie was a Mexican American and actually her Spanish accent not being perfect makes sense for the character she is playing who is American too. Also, this is not being said as a “Selena Stan” but as a huge movie fan, with some common sense and a Hispanic woman that finds this public discussion pushed by this man, ugly and unfortunate.
@SonyaGaines-b7i Actually what he criticized was not the accent, he pointed out that as she doesn't understand the language she couldn't connect with what she was saying so the interpretation was bad, she sounds flat, very robotic. And as the director doesn't speak the language either he didn't noticed the issue so he was not much of a help for Selena.
Why you said” oh because is Selena Gomes no matter how she speaks Spanish how insulting is this. This woman no have respect for a culture at all. As Latina i will be ready to aprópiate represent a lenguaje that is not my natal language if I get a call for a movie. This only shows how I’m profesional is Selena Gomez and this clown panel
It’s a big deal because the whole movie felt like an exaggeration of Mexican culture. Then to add on to that Selena is speaking a Spanish that is nearly unintelligible. And her lack of knowledge of the Spanish language and its nuances made her scenes fall flat. For instance that scene where she is cursing sounded like Siri trying to translate Spanish phrases in her English accent. No one who is Mexican saw this as a good performance and he was right.
So what ya’ll are saying is that people should accept a mediocre job just because the person is mega popular? I love Selena but if she didn’t do a good job speaking Spanish it’s ok to say it. Her acting skills weren’t questioned
Un artista tiene que entender lo que está diciendo para poder mostrar las emociones correctas. No puede sonar como un robot. Tiene que mostrar felicidad, tristeza, amargura, locura etc, etc pero como mostrar eso si no entiendes lo que dice
@@RosaGervais He wasn’t being miserable In Spanish culture accent is a big thing for American born Latino/ latinas He was asked a question about what he thought about her performance by a Spanish reporter. He answered truthfully He wasn’t being disrespectful & he didn’t say her acting was bad just that her accent wasn’t authentic. Which was 100% true and obvious to any Spanish speaking person that watches it. Since it’s predominantly in Spanish I’m sure he’s not going to be the only one with that opinion. It’s crazy how People can’t even express their opinion anymore because everyone starts tweaking and calling them rude or miserably etc. He answers a question honestly & respectfully & you think he’s attention seeking 😂😂 that’s wild
I have not seen the film yet. However, I would imagine someone in Selena’s star status would have access to a voice/speech/accent teacher. There are actors that are not fluent in a language but can master a language and accent in a limited time frame for a character. To also point out, it is also on the director of the film to set the performance and casting standard. They thought Selena best fit their bill and needs 🤷🏽♀️
Also, Derbez has been "acting" in Hollywood for a long time now and no one is coming after him for the roles he plays, the accent he has when speaking English or saying anything bad about his terrible acting skills. Even in Mexico, people know he only became famous thanks to connections no real skill.
@@MalenaOlmedo huh? He’s Mexicans first and foremost and plays a Mexican usually in all his roles, so his English accent is a non-issue. If she wants to claim Latin roles after only recently playing into her Latin roots because it became trendy, then her billionaire ass can take some Spanish lessons.
The hippocracy that Eugenio Derbez, who only became relevant when he crossedover to work in English speaking films in the USA and had to work speaking English. This of course is not his native tongue thus he had and has a very prominent accent. Yet, folks gave him a chance because it allowed for more representation in acting and storytelling. He needs to sit down.
Please listen to what Spanish speakers are saying about how she spoke. I honestly was shocked that in one scene she was pretending to speak Spanish so non Spanish speakers would think she was speaking Spanish. Thank you and goodbye.
It's not about her accent. You cannnn't sound like a robot 🤖 reason she has no kind of expressions Memorized her lines was not good. She needed to understand what she was saying to show emotions and not sound like a robot 🤖.
That is so true I’m Mexican and my Spanish isn’t that great and they’re the ones that judge me and the rest doesn’t speak good English either so I don’t know what he’s talking about
Her Spanish is not the problem is the fact that her accent does not represent a native Spanish speaker. That is the issue, Eugenio is another ignorant even though he is 100% correct by noting that a native speaker with way more talent than Selena could have been a better fit for the movie, Eugenio did not use the right terminology to described what I just noted before, the right critique would have been something like, “she had a great role for this movie, her accent perhaps was not to convincing but, at least we could understand her Spanish.” In my opinion, Selena is a great singer, great hits however, she should not act until she works a bit more to refine her skills and maybe learn from this experience that if she is going to act in another language to maybe have a bit of integrity to say NO, if she knows she is not going to speak the language fluently, that will have given her more respect but, that’s just my personal opinion. Also, Spanish is not a dialect as some has stated, Spanish is a language.
But it's not about Selena's Spanish accent or her fluency, at least not for me and I think also not for Eugenio Derbez. Everybody knows that Selena doesn't speak Spanish so I'm not harsh on her for that. It was the choice of words!! I felt so uncomfortable hearing her saying certain words. It felt like a spanish speaker taught an English speaker to curse (in Spanish) without him knowing he was cursing. It just felt wrong
Somehow this created such a controversy 😅 This is not a movie I would ever watch. I despise anything that gives bad characters a romanticized sense. I also strongly disagree with the use of such vulgar language and unthinkable behavior. So, no this isn’t for me. I very much agree with Eugenio’s perspective.
Nobody would care about this movie if Selena wasn't in it. Even these ladies refer to Selena's critic as 'this guy' 😂 yeah, that's how much his opinion matters
Your show needs better researchers. Selena Quintanilla began her career singing exclusively in Spanish. Her family worried that her Spanish wasn't up to snuff to do press in México to promote those albums. And it wasn't.
Im very Proud of Celina Gomez , she did amazing , I’m a Mexican born speaker and I did understand everything she said in the movie , she have a lot of talent and very brave to take a role in another country , and in another language, and it’s ok to have an accent, Eugenio’s comments are disgraceful, Bravo Celina , you did great , she’s already a winner to be nominated to a golden globe!!!
Its misleading, because the woman she plays in the movie is an American girl who doesn't know Spanish that well, so to make it seem like she was supposed to be super fluent and criticizing her for that when thats not even the character yeah he did lie
He is a Mexican comedian who is not really a good comedian and who became an actor in U.S. He is the son of a very good Mexican actress which makes him a nepobaby and he has 4 children, 3 of them are actors which are very bad at acting. So I wonder if he bit his tongue while making that comment about Selena. By the way, he has a history of been saying I’m sorry Internet. Yeah he has a big mouth.
Selenas Character is suppose to know how to speak sapnish with some accent because she is Mexican American, but Selena Gomez dont speak spanish and doesn't understand it is terrible and disrespectful.
Like I said, if no one knows who you are. try to talk about a big star like Selena Gomez, and then probably someone notices you even when you rudely comment about a really hard-working person like Selena.
Team Eugenio‼️😎 Stop being such fragile generation 😅 Eugenio expressed his perspective. SG should just learn to be an adult and Eugenio should have not apologized. Go Eugenio‼️😎
Well then why when it’s Russian language in American movies it isn’t played by Russians? Do you even know how bad it sounds from American people there’s no way to nails Russian accent no matter how hard you try. To her defense she played American who speaks Spanish so why to go after her so much
@@gsandy6107 se ve mal por que el no acepta que hablen mal de su producciones o su actuación. No es por la opinión es más por que a él no le gusta que le hagan observaciones.
Fuera de Hollywood!! Si quieres perfection no hagas peliculas en ingles! Como si tu fueras perfecto! Nada más nos das vergüenza y a los latinos nos haces mirar mal!
I don't think this ladies had watched the entire interview, he said HER performance had no defense because she doesn't speak the language, therefore, she doesn't understand what she is saying and can't deliver the emotions she supposed to show according to the situation, btw the script wasn't made by a Spanish speaker, it feels like it was written in french and then translate with Google because some phrases have no sense at all, plus, let's not forget about zoe and the actress who plays Emilia Perez, none of them have a Mexican accent, yes they speak Spanish perfectly! but zoe has a very thick Dominican accent and the other a really strong Spanish accent, any spanish speaker can tell it from the beginning. For me, it's the directors fault, he proudly claim in an interview he has no knowledge about mexican culture/ language. So, the movie was definitely not made for a South American audience at all, just to please his ego and romanticized the view of gringos and european have about narco/mexican culture in general.
This was a very good movie. Her Spanish was bad, but I’m confused because in the movie Selena is from US. She peaks English and Spanish in this movie. As a 2nd generation latino, my Spanish is not the best, so to me it was refreshing to have representation of someone else not speaking the language perfectly.
Let me begin by saying that, I am no fan of Selena but I am mexican and grew up watching this guy on tv. He has always been an awful actor, his movies are cringe and boring. He usually has his children acting on them even though they aren't good actors either. He is too full of himself so in mexican tv, he is always talking about how succesful he is with his acting here in US when honestly nobody cares about him. The only time he comes out in a movie is to play as an illegal alien who speaks broken english with a horrible accent so i think he is just trying to get attention and make himself noticeable by critizicing someone famous like selena gomez.
I care!!!!!!!!! I cant get into character example when wagner played pablo escobar and butcher that beautiful Colombian accent… couldn’t finish the series!!!

@janettayres6068 of course , is about his accent, lol 😆
Nobody would care about this movie if Selena wasn't in it. Even these ladies refer to Selena's critic as 'this guy' 😂 yeah, that's how much his opinion matters
He didn't walk back or apologize 😂
If you do not speak the language do not pretend you speak it.
Your show needs better researchers. Selena Quintanilla began her career singing exclusively in Spanish. Her family worried that her Spanish wasn't up to snuff to do press in México to promote those albums. And it wasn't.
Im very Proud of Celina Gomez , she did amazing , I’m a Mexican born speaker and I did understand everything she said in the movie , she have a lot of talent and very brave to take a role in another country , and in another language, and it’s ok to have an accent, Eugenio’s comments are disgraceful, Bravo Celina , you did great , she’s already a winner to be nominated to a golden globe!!!
Oh no. People cared. Brad Pitt is STILL getting roasted for that accent.
did he lie?
Its misleading, because the woman she plays in the movie is an American girl who doesn't know Spanish that well, so to make it seem like she was supposed to be super fluent and criticizing her for that when thats not even the character yeah he did lie
Does he have a fluent English in his roles and have been judged?
@@f.j.oliver2591better than Selena’s Spanish for sure 😅
He is a Mexican comedian who is not really a good comedian and who became an actor in U.S.
He is the son of a very good Mexican actress which makes him a nepobaby and he has 4 children, 3 of them are actors which are very bad at acting.
So I wonder if he bit his tongue while making that comment about Selena.
By the way, he has a history of been saying I’m sorry Internet. Yeah he has a big mouth.
Wow he's a male version of a Karen, he's a Darren😂😂😂😂
Selenas Character is suppose to know how to speak sapnish with some accent because she is Mexican American, but Selena Gomez dont speak spanish and doesn't understand it is terrible and disrespectful.
Like I said, if no one knows who you are. try to talk about a big star like Selena Gomez, and then probably someone notices you even when you
rudely comment about a really hard-working person like Selena.
Eugenio is super famous and popular in the Spanish speaking community!!! We grew up with his shows !
@@KlaudiahzEra.....😔
He never said she was a bad actress. How can you show any kind of emotions in a language you do not understand?
He should be the last person talking .
Of course ..Selenators activated
What was the last thing the man was in that was as good as selena's movies? ? ? Go head we'll wait
Team Eugenio‼️😎
Stop being such fragile generation 😅
Eugenio expressed his perspective.
SG should just learn to be an adult and Eugenio should have not apologized.
Go Eugenio‼️😎
Eurelio who??
Well then why when it’s Russian language in American movies it isn’t played by Russians? Do you even know how bad it sounds from American people there’s no way to nails Russian accent no matter how hard you try. To her defense she played American who speaks Spanish so why to go after her so much
I already saw one of the series and said all the time the same thing
That is the reaction of a jealous person who don't see positively in society. I think he chose the bad way to be appreciated by people.
Yuheniou Derbez quedé.
🤣🤣🤣
Love it leave Selena alone. I enjoyed the movie
He is right! She was the worse person to represent this movie
He should remember that he also has an accent 😅 next time he is speaking English he will be reminded of that.
It is NOT about the accent. Should find out more before talking
Its the ways she talks. She always sounds so nasally and monotoned.
Ay Eugenio 😅 que mal se vio.
@@jpadma9 Por decir la verdad? Que mundo de cristal.
@@gsandy6107 se ve mal por que el no acepta que hablen mal de su producciones o su actuación. No es por la opinión es más por que a él no le gusta que le hagan observaciones.
Fuera de Hollywood!! Si quieres perfection no hagas peliculas en ingles! Como si tu fueras perfecto! Nada más nos das vergüenza y a los latinos nos haces mirar mal!
The way Selena Gomez spoke Spanish he’s English sucks
Eugenio English is not good at all and him as an actor not really he always bulling in his movies and comedies.
Much ado about nothing.
I watched his movie his american accent is horrible
He is right is horrible!
I don't think this ladies had watched the entire interview, he said HER performance had no defense because she doesn't speak the language, therefore, she doesn't understand what she is saying and can't deliver the emotions she supposed to show according to the situation, btw the script wasn't made by a Spanish speaker, it feels like it was written in french and then translate with Google because some phrases have no sense at all, plus, let's not forget about zoe and the actress who plays Emilia Perez, none of them have a Mexican accent, yes they speak Spanish perfectly! but zoe has a very thick Dominican accent and the other a really strong Spanish accent, any spanish speaker can tell it from the beginning. For me, it's the directors fault, he proudly claim in an interview he has no knowledge about mexican culture/ language. So, the movie was definitely not made for a South American audience at all, just to please his ego and romanticized the view of gringos and european have about narco/mexican culture in general.
This was a very good movie. Her Spanish was bad, but I’m confused because in the movie Selena is from US. She peaks English and Spanish in this movie. As a 2nd generation latino, my Spanish is not the best, so to me it was refreshing to have representation of someone else not speaking the language perfectly.
Let me begin by saying that, I am no fan of Selena but I am mexican and grew up watching this guy on tv. He has always been an awful actor, his movies are cringe and boring. He usually has his children acting on them even though they aren't good actors either. He is too full of himself so in mexican tv, he is always talking about how succesful he is with his acting here in US when honestly nobody cares about him. The only time he comes out in a movie is to play as an illegal alien who speaks broken english with a horrible accent so i think he is just trying to get attention and make himself noticeable by critizicing someone famous like selena gomez.
I care!!!!!!!!! I cant get into character example when wagner played pablo escobar and butcher that beautiful Colombian accent… couldn’t finish the series!!!
