Speaking about the film, Wilmer says, “To start, the Latino community is having a really exciting moment right now, and this film is an amazing opportunity for us to share our joy and culture with the world. Personally, my mother is Colombian, and she has never seen her country portrayed as a magical place like how the film shows it is. I’m also so excited for my daughter to see herself in an adventure that is rooted in her heritage, one that I hope will inspire her to carry it forward and continue to show the world that we all have more in common than we think.”
The actor got into the skin of the character quite easily by thinking about his dad, as well as his new-found role of a father himself, welcomed his daughter in February this year fiancée Amanda Pacheco. “When I think about my own father, I think about the many ways he has installed our heritage and culture into my life,” Valderrama says.
“As a father myself, I am now constantly thinking about how I can do the same with my daughter. While she is still very young, life can be so wonderful and worth living, so it’s also important for me that she knows she can be anything and anyone she wants to be,” he continues.
