LUNA TEEN: – What do you have in common with your personage?

LUNA TEEN: – What do you think is the best of this program?
CARLOS: – Besides being fun, the music is incredible and everything is possible: there are continually hilarious situations, like a cartoon but with actors, crazy.
LUNA TEEN: – How are they between you?
CARLOS: – Fantastic, we are very friends. The whole process, from the movie up to the program, they were 2 years like that that we spend a lot of time together and we enjoy it.
Also, imagine that we begin 6.30 AM, we record the whole day, later we have dinner and go away to sleeping. On Saturdays and Sundays also we are working, so practically we do not see anybody any more.
LUNA TEEN: – Are you go out together when not working?
CARLOS: – Yes! And we arm double dates. James is the one that more flirts so he is a bit the girls’ supplier.

LUNA TEEN: – How did you start acting?
CARLOS: – Like all I suppose. In school works and doing commercial. To the 15 I had a participation in ER and later in other series, until BTR appeared.
LUNA TEEN: – What is the best of being an actor?
CARLOS: – That, when you have an evil day, you can put in the skin of the personage and to forget everything. Also, you become a model, the boys look what you do and follow you, it is incredible.
LUNA TEEN: – And the worst?
CARLOS: – I do not believe that it has something bad at all. When you become famous you begin lose a bit of intimacy and of private life but, when you put it in perspective, it is not so bad. Often you are tired and they come to ask for autographs but worth it.
LUNA TEEN: – Which is your dream?
