Susana Gimenez received Eduardo Verastegui, model, singer and born again Christian
This Sunday Susana Gimenez received Mexican actor and producer Eduardo Verastegui, 35, who for ten years worked as a model, singer and actor. He said he made a video with Jennifer Lopez, flamenco dancing.
He spent 3 years in Cairo as a singer.
He acted in soaps in Miami and finally settled in Los Angeles.
Susana asked him about the reason why he changed to religion and the celibacy he has been conducting for eight years.
Verastegui said there was a moment where he had everything, but was empty, and realized something was missing.
It was when he began to observe that the Latin people were treated very badly and regarded as immoral, and women treated as sex objects, therefore he realized that someone had to fight for them.
He tried to be a priest but he was suggested that his life outside the institutions would be a lot more important than within them.
That’s when he kneeled and made a promise to God; from that time on his work would be devoted to defending his people.
He would be at the service of others, to respect the dignity of human beings. To love more and judge less.
He owns a film production company, so he produced and starred in ‘Bella’, a film about a real hero, a man of faith and honesty, willing to give everything for love.
As for celibacy, he said he was born in a sexist society and acted with women accordingly, until a teacher asked him if he wanted to have children. The answer was yes, so then she asked if his children were daughters, what kind of partner would he choose for them, so he described a saint. Since then he realized he never had a fair treatment to women, so he constantly apologizes for the damage he did.
It was when he decided to have a relationship when he finds the woman desired to marry.
It is difficult, since he is a human being, so he goes to Mass every day and pray the Rosary.
He spoke of the forthcoming film that will shoot in New Zealand, and will represent San Pedro, said to be one of the best movies that ever were accomplished about the life of Jesus, including the special effects.
He also spoke of the project ‘Manto de Guadalupe’ (mantodeguadalupe.com), a nonprofit organization to help women, people in extreme poverty, and in different needs,who has many volunteers working around the world.
He announced that tomorrow, Monday 16 November at 19:00 they will meet in front of the National Congress for the ‘March of the bootee’ which is against abortion.
The march is peaceful in nature and prayer.
He gave Susana a rosary blessed by the pope, a colored scarf and a shirt with the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, made by her sisters.
