Jaime Camil had a thrilling experience working at the set of &#039;El Rey

Here&#8217;s How Jamie Camil Prepared Himself to Put on the Avatar of Ranchera Legend for Netflix&#8217;s Documentary

Folk music is a way of life! It binds all human emotions together and has a way
to cast our minds back to the rich heritage of our culture. Like many other
regions, Mexico too has its share of such folklore and music artist to blow
their trumpets about. And it seems like Netflix is once again beefing up its
international growth strategy. Starring Jaime Camil as Vicente Fernández, the
king of Mexican Ranchera music, the brand new Spanish Telenovela is here to tell
you a beautiful life story. 



With a career spanning over 40 decades standing as El Pais’s greatest singer,
his life certainly would have been one colorful delight. While many might have
stressed out to play the legendary Mexican singer in the series and might add it
up to a failure, the Jane the Virgin comic figure accepted it as just another
acting experience. “You have to approach it as just another acting gig,” he said
to Billboard in their phone call interview.


JAIME CAMIL HAD A THRILLING EXPERIENCE WORKING AT THE SET OF EL REY, VICENTE
FERNÁNDEZ

Portraying the 9-time Latin Grammy award winner with all his vibrancy at
different stages of time would have been difficult. But the 49-year-old actor
and singer seemingly tackled his titular role in El Rey, Vicente Fernández in a
rather heartening manner. He substantially informed the interviewer that he has
been in acting for over 27 years. According to him the excitement, the eagerness
to be on set is always there but “instead of getting stage fright and running
away, you process it as, ‘Wow, what a thrill, how cool it’s going to be to do
this.'”

Furthermore, Camil, who finds the late actor very honorable, the man of his
word, and someone he can identify with, had to put on some side weights and a
grow mustache to entirely leaven in the role. The most important challenge
whilst on the journey to portray the late cultural icon was to perform 14 out of
his 20 anthems in the series as close to Fernández’s notes as possible.

Notably, ‘Chente’ had produced over 100 albums, contributing to almost 30
movies. Selling over 50 million copies worldwide, he was also best selling
Mexican artist of all time.
