Colombian actor Fabián Ríos has been secluded for weeks at the estate where Telemundo's reality show 'Los 50' is filmed. Before the show, he spoke with ENSTARZ ¡Latino!, sharing how he joined the production, what he hopes to gain from the experience, and his future plans.
Among his upcoming projects is a return to his iconic character, Albeiro Marín, in the next chapter of the 'Sin Senos Sí Hay Paraíso' saga. "It's my first time in a reality show. I've always done telenovelas, movies, and series, so there's going to be a lot of pressure. But I'm a determined guy. I'll push through," Ríos said before his isolation began.
The outdoor setting drew him to the experience. "I love the countryside; that's where I come from. It motivated me."
A Man Who Embraces Risk
Ríos knows that some colleagues have left similar shows with damaged reputations.
Yet, risks don't scare him; they excite him. "I've never been under pressure like this and wanted to test myself... I want to see what happens when I'm sad, when I have nothing, or when I'm under family pressure. Will it break me or lift me? That's part of life and the risks we need to take. If I avoid it, I won't grow. The goal is to grow as a person, and if these projects help, I want in," he explained.
Sin Senos Sí Hay Paraíso
"We were about to start a new season of 'Sin Senos,' but it got postponed, allowing me to do 'Los 50' instead. I'm certain that once 'Los 50' wraps, preproduction for 'Sin Senos' will begin, along with a film we have lined up in the Dominican Republic," he said.
With 'Sin Senos' returning, Ríos steps into the role of Albeiro for the sixth time. He first portrayed the character in the Telemundo telenovela 'Sin Senos no hay paraíso,' followed by three seasons of 'Sin Senos Sí Hay Paraíso,' and later 'El Final del Paraíso,' which was initially seen as a farewell to the characters.
"It's been an incredible role since the day [writer] Gustavo Bolívar created it. It fits me like a glove, a huge blessing from God. I'll play him as long as I can. Until when? Until God wills it, right? I'm very grateful," he concluded.
