Jordi Cruz: "Many mornings Club Disney de Empalme presented, directly from a disco"

Jordan Cruz.

Barcelona, ​​1976. Presenter.

She was one of the first Disney stars in Spain and saved the weekends for a generation of parents with

.

After a few years

, he returns with a podcast on Netflix (

) and a biography titled

Nothing at all.

I think that advice from my father has been my lifesaver, although with this there is always a lot of myth.

It seems that everyone who is successful when they are young has to lose their minds and go crazy, yes or yes, that fame is equal to

, and that sometimes does not happen, mind you.

I always followed that good advice of not believing what was happening, which is not easy when you live a life in which in the morning you are with the Spice Girls, in the afternoon with the Backstreet Boys, the next day you parachute and at night you look at your bank account and hallucinate in colors with the money there is.

It came to my hair to remember my father's words.

Yes. But I've always been a person who doesn't argue with the universe, I don't waste time turning things around metaphysically.

I live what touches me at every moment and move forward:

.

So, success didn't get me out of that lane either.

It was time, well that's it.

It comes from personality, from how you've been raised.

My family has never been much given to praising what you do all the time.

On the contrary, the comments came from behind: "Hey, your father told me that he really likes what you do."

And not being given the ears makes your expectations very realistic.

The proposal to release this book came two or three weeks after my father died and at first I didn't see it very clearly, because the "tell your life" scenario didn't seem attractive to me at all.

You have to give people something else.

But then I saw that the book could be an exercise in remembering everything I had forgotten.

It has given me years of life.

My mother passed away when I was 28 years old and, as much as you want to keep the memory, hold on and not let go, there are things you forget.

It is the law of life and I did not want the same thing to happen with my father.

So the book was a fantastic opportunity to leave his memory in writing.

It is a kind of tribute and also a time capsule so that I will not forget in many years those details that I adore in my father.

He was kind of a premature adult.

I was very clear about what I wanted to be, what my life was going to be like, what was going to happen.

And since I didn't think that people around me understood me, I lived it like a superhero.

A superhero doesn't go out there saying, "Hey, I'm a superhero, I'm going to save the world the day an alien threat comes."

But he knows perfectly well and he knows that he will be able to achieve it.

He had it so, so clear that he couldn't verbalize it because he seemed absurd.

I took that oddity as something positive: I know that I am different from all these people, neither better nor worse, but different.

I accepted it and ended up proving him right: I am what I always knew I would be.

I was a disaster at school.

I had an overflowing imagination and of course... Once, when I was 10 or 11 years old, I had a wound and it seemed like a good idea to close it with typex.

I didn't say anything, it got infected and when they took me to the hospital they almost had to amputate my leg.

And in class I was stunned looking out the window at the Collserola tower, in Barcelona, ​​while I made calculations of what would happen if it fell.

What would be ahead?

up to those points.

I guess what was inside the class didn't inspire me.

Partly, but in reality I never had the feeling of having reached the destination because for me the only thing that had changed was that the team was professional.

I was playing host in my room, I just went on a real set.

So I didn't notice that change, really.

I don't know, I would say I felt accomplished.

Beyond fame, money and all those things, the great prize is that: feeling fulfilled.

Being 20 years old.

At that time I had many splice mornings, straight from a disco.

Why not?

It's age and I put up with it, but I've never arrived drunk.

I have lived the night very naturally, not as something dangerous or dark, which is painted so many times.

I experienced it as something super fun, to enjoy.

Some friends told me to be careful, but I was 20 years old and wanted to go out and be happy.

And it did.

My friends went out on Fridays and I was presenting live on Saturday, I couldn't force them all to change their plans, so there was no other way.

I know there have always been rumors about whether you've been seen in a state or doing such and such, but it's not true.

Those who know me know that I have always lived the night in a very healthy way

Let's see, shots and glasses were not lacking, but I would arrive at an hour when it would stop and I would dedicate myself only to dancing and laughing.

For someone from outside, the night in Madrid is a fantastic opportunity to meet people and make friends.

Madrid is brutal to go out, we are not going to fool ourselves.

And it would be absurd not to have enjoyed it.

I still enjoy it.

Take it naturally.

The time that left me the most freaked out was at the opening of a nightclub in Barcelona that I went to with friends and there was a brutal queue.

We got on and instantly a huge doorman came to sneak us in because he was seeing the Disney club.

Then I marketed with him with the

: I gave him a watch from the Disney club and he sneaked us all in (laughs).

They get to know it at Disney and... What I wasn't going to do is behave like I'm not or put on a macarrilla plan to be more cool.

I go out dancing in the middle of the floor or on top of the podium.

Because I'm on TV, do I have to dance in the corner so that no one sees me?

No, no, I want to dance the Spice on top of the podium with my friends and enjoy.

I'm not into 'wow, I'm famous and I have to get in the

famous

No, it's that in

they messed me up, in principle it was going to be during family hours and all of a sudden Antena 3 put it to compete with

.

If I knew it was going to end like this, Disney would not have given me permission.

Do you know what's up?

People seem to have to run away from what has been and show that it has different facets.

I do not.

My facet is this: a calm person, with a good vibe, who does not like conflicts or discussions.

Why would I change an image that is real?

One has to defend its authenticity and its way of being, not try to modify it to fit more with the environment or to be applauded for your different registers.

I have always been who I am: day and night, at work and at the party.

Out of place and uncomfortable with the context.

dancer

in which she, naked, asked me to put cream on her.

And I refused out of respect for the woman's body, but I had a producer who told me: "Take advantage, man, take advantage."

And that made no sense to me.

The day of the shooting of that porn movie, the same.

I was looking forward to it being over and going home.

It was not the most pleasant environment on the planet.

It's not that it bothers me, it's that I've never felt one.

This world of fame seems to be asking you all the time for success to be accompanied by viewers and recognition, but for me success is having fun with a video on YouTube that five people watch, in a craft workshop or creating the disco decoration.

It seems that those of us who have dedicated ourselves to television cannot be happy doing other things or without people looking at us and recognizing us, and that is very harmful because it is impossible to maintain it throughout your life.

I know that I speak calmly, because I have already experienced success and fulfilled the dream, but other people have gotten a virus inside them and they have ended badly because they have never known what to do with their lives without being under the spotlight. .

Not at all, he was just as happy.

I don't remember that as a low moment or anything like that.

It was not a way of surviving, it was a way of living and continuing to have experiences.

That's why I don't like it when people stop you and say, "So, you don't do anything anymore?"

I do loads of things, the thing is you don't know them!

Now that it seems that I'm back in dance a little bit, I'm delighted because the idea that my career as a presenter was over has never crossed my mind, but when I've been away I've always found something to do that makes me happy and motivate me.

Well I assure you yes.

First, because it was a promise to my father that I had to keep, and I already told you, I don't argue with the universe.

If I make a decision, I make it and then I don't regret it.

Plus, I wanted to be at a table with a phone, a schedule, and a chair.

That stability had a

that made me crazy.

Think that I left Barcelona when I was 18 years old and this was when I was already 37. I have spent a lot of time alone, which does not mean sad, but far from your family, with a very changeable schedule and a fuss of life.

This job gave me a lot of peace of mind.

Sure, and if Cadena 100 didn't call me, I would have started doing podcasts or Twitch.

Because the goat shoots the mountain and what you want is to communicate to feel fulfilled.

Luckily, we are in a time when you don't need a director of a network or casting to take you, you can set up your shed at home.

That is very strong.

That's what they say, but I haven't taken over the name because it would be too pretentious.

Also, I have known Jordi Cruz Mas for many years, when I was more famous than him (laughs).

We did some talks together for kids.

Actually, my return to news on networks was due to an interview of his on May 1 with which he got mixed up and, suddenly, everyone started insulting me.

I decided to be true to myself and take it with humor, responding with jokes.

He went viral and many people placed me there again.

That was terrible.

Luckily, my closest relatives did not have social networks, but more than one friend did and the scare was enormous.

It was all very weird.

At first you read the messages and laugh about it, but after 10 minutes you think about how murky everything is and it's less funny, because in reality people who think you've died are writing to you.

And worse still are the people who start following you.

I had thousands of new

because I had died.

What kind of person gets to follow a dead man?

Yes. When it came out, they asked me about it a lot and I said it was a matter of the whole team, but now that I am no longer part of that family, I can say that I was the ideologue and that the idea worked.

Although I understand the people who ended up fed up with Resistiré, I also, in fact.

But he did an important job at the time: to encourage and get people to unite around something.

The first day I played the song at eight at night I still remember it with great emotion.

The event that was formed from there makes me proud.
