Can someone tell me who this man is because people keep taking pictures with him and I’m too scared to ask him who he is.
The video did not take long to go viral on the short video platform, where users began to write that it was the Mexican actor, without missing the opportunity to react with famous and typical phrases such as “Someone explain to him” “Listen to me, don’t ! How come you don’t recognize him” and “Ask him”, referring to the most popular characters played by the comedian.

I sat next to a guy on the plane and people kept asking for photos. I did the only logical thing and asked TikTok assuming he would never know I did this.
Given the virality of the clip of the foreigner who ultimately regretted having asked for help on TikTok and after the various labels that Eugenio Derbez received in said publication, the 61-year-old actor responded to Paige with a video posted on his Instagram account , in which he informed her that he was a Mexican artist and director and showed her segments from some of the movies he has starred in.
