Telecinco is still trying to put the pieces of its programming together, which is why it has moved 'Deluxe' back to Friday nights. This February 26 Jorge Sanz has been one of the program's guests. The actor has opened up about his most personal facet, talking about the relationship he has with his granddaughter and with his daughter, whom he met when he was 18 years old.
On a work level, of course, Sanz has also had a lot to cut with the collaborators of 'Friday Deluxe'. At 52 years old, the man from Madrid has been in front of the cameras for four decades, accumulating more than 60 films on his resume, but also some failed roles.
The most notorious: when Pedro Almodóvar fired him from the cast of 'Carne Trémula'.
The protagonist of 'Belle Époque' and 'The girl with your eyes' was going to play the role of Víctor, although he was replaced by Liberto Rabal. Tonight he has been honest in the Telecinco space about that episode of his career. “Pedro has a great personality, he is a very special artist. But to work with him you have to play his game ”, he clarified, also acknowledging his mistakes. “When I went to work with him he was an arrogant pimp, I didn't even cough, not even Blas”, he assured.
“I was not interested in his world at all, I did not care, I was going to make my film, and out. And no, it's not. When you work with someone who has such a powerful personality you have to get into the rag”, added the actor.

As it was, they invited him to leave. “Almodóvar himself told me, while we were having a drink, that things were not working. We had been working for a week already, it was a trauma. I think they looted me in one for quitting, laughing at something he would have done, ”he explained.
Logically, he did not give credit to the situation. “You are a very big stick. When someone is kicked out of a movie, in theory it is because he has screwed up ». However, he has admitted, “I liked the character a lot, plus Javier (Bardem) and I had worked a lot and were very close, but not so with Pedro. What are you going to do".
In spite of everything, he has pointed out that he has nothing to reproach the director from La Mancha. "He has his mechanics and I don't get into the rag." In fact, they have met several times since then and the treatment has been cordial. So much so that the actor would love to be called up for a future movie… On one condition. “Signing a termination clause, like soccer players.”
