🤔 "Cuatro años intentando y no pegaba" — Manuela González | La Tobón Show

Manuela González arrives at La Tobón Show and sits down to talk candidly. One of Colombia's most accomplished and acclaimed actresses, a symbol of resilience and reinvention, opens the episode with one of the most honest statements we've ever heard on this couch: "I really do miss my mom, and I'm 49 years old. Anyone would say: 'Hey, get over it already.'" In this conversation with Laura Tobón, Manuela talks about the miracle of becoming a mother at 39 after four years of trying, the Lolita audition that affected her deeply because she had just lost her mother, the return of Susana and Elvira in the film premiering this May, and why she feels it would be impossible to be a "24/7 mom" without losing her emotional stability. A conversation between two working mothers who understand each other without words. And as in every episode, we play a game. This time, Manuela fully embraced the "Act Your Part" segment, where she had to act out three absurd situations in random accents: Dominican, Italian, and Pastuso (from Pasto). The result is best seen for yourselves. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Cold Open — "I miss my mom and I'm 49 years old" 0:27 Hallway Gossip with Manuela González 2:18 Welcome: Colombia's Best Actress 2:47 Passion, Privilege, and a Young Vocation 3:43 The Actor's Wait: The Hardest Part of the Profession 4:51 Pedro and Alma, Manuela's Driving Force 5:36 "The Best Gift to Give Your Children is to Be Fulfilled" 7:20 What If I Were a 24/7 Mom?
