Adiós Quico: Carlos Villagrán Says Goodbye To 'Quico', The Famous Character He Gave Life To In 'El Chavo Del Ocho'

It was the last curtain call for Carlos Villagrán, who dressed for one last time as Quico, the character that brought him to fame on the show "El Chavo del Ocho."

Villagrán had announced a tour throughout Brazil as the last one of his career, and Rio de Janeiro was the city chosen to end a lifetime of memories and laughter under a circus tent in front of a thousand people, with his signature sailor suit and big cheeks.

The actor shed some tears as he said goodbye to the character that he gave life to for almost three decades, and thanked the Brazilian crowd for accepting him and welcoming him into their lives.

"Who addresses you now is Carlos Villagrán. We've been together for 30 years but there comes a time when we have to stop. I say my final goodbyes here in Rio de Janeiro. This is my last show," said the actor, as the audience cheered and shouted the sayings of the famous character, "Quico, Quico, ra, ra, ra."
