On March 19, 2025, actor Quim Gutiérrez graced the set of 'La Revuelta,' the hit late-night show hosted by David Broncano, to promote his new film 'Los aitas', which premieres in theaters on March 21. The conversation quickly veered from the film to the more personal topic of hair loss, a lighthearted yet poignant discussion that had the audience laughing and engaged.
As Gutiérrez entered the Teatro Príncipe, Broncano couldn't resist complimenting his guest on his notable hair. “You have a good mane, Quim,” he said, but the actor playfully retorted, “It’s going down… there’s less,” acknowledging the onset of his hair thinning as he approaches 44 years of age next week. This playful banter set the tone for a comedic yet meaningful exploration of their age-related concerns.
In a moment that encapsulated Broncano's distinct interviewing style, the host turned to the subject of hair transplants. “What are your plans regarding this issue?” he asked Gutiérrez, who responded candidly, “To hold on.” This answer led to a lively discussion about hair loss and its implications for men as Broncano took the opportunity to inform Gutiérrez of a potential downside of hair implants: a loss of sexual potency.
“If you get implants, you might lose sexual potency,” Broncano warned, while the audience murmured in surprise. The seriousness of the statement starkly contrasted with the light-hearted atmosphere of the show. Gutiérrez, taken aback by the unexpected turn in the conversation, was quick to respond humorously. “Are you making me choose?” he asked, prompting laughter among the listeners.
“Yes, you need to choose,” Broncano affirmed, leading Gutiérrez to weigh his options. “I’d choose a bit of both. Half a pill, half an implant,” he quipped, continuing the playful back-and-forth that characterized their interaction. The casual yet insightful discussion resonated with the audience, who appreciated the humor intertwined with a relatable subject.
The episode didn't just focus on hair, though. Gutiérrez took the opportunity to discuss his latest film, 'Los aitas,' which is described as a humorous road movie centered on fatherhood in the 1980s. He shares the screen with notable actors including Juan Diego Botto, Laura Weissmahr, and Ramón Barea. The film is expected to bring hearty laughter to audiences, liaising seamlessly with the comedic nature of the show.
As the discussion unfolded, Gutiérrez also shared insights into the difficulties of balancing his career with fatherhood. “The hardest part, I think, is the promotions,” he confessed, revealing that during the promotion of his previous film 'Al otro barrio,' he once had to cancel an interview due to family obligations. “If the child wakes up four times a night, at a mental competition level, you don’t deliver,” he reflected, illustrating the challenges many parents, particularly those in demanding professions, face.
Adding even more personality to the show, Gutiérrez didn’t shy from gift-giving traditions during his visit. He brought along merchandise from 'Los aitas,' including t-shirts and even a walkman, which elicited nostalgic chuckles from Broncano. The comedic chemistry between the host and guest was clearly palpable, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Additionally, José Roca, a long-serving chef at La Moncloa, joined the conversation later in the episode. Roca detailed his fascinating experiences cooking for past and present Spanish presidents. His narrative intertwined well with the theme of fatherhood, structuring a unique tie-in to the lighter conversation about family obligations discussed earlier with Gutiérrez.
Throughout the episode, social media buzzed with reactions to the lighthearted yet meaningful exchanges taking place on screen. Gutiérrez's honest reflections on aging, fatherhood, and the ups and downs of acting resonated with viewers, many of whom shared their own experiences and opinions online.
As 'La Revuelta' approached a milestone of 100 episodes, Broncano acknowledged that audience numbers had dipped slightly in recent times, partially due to competing programming. Nevertheless, the atmosphere in the theater remained celebratory, underscoring the enduring appeal of Broncano’s comedic style.
The episode concluded with Gutiérrez providing thoughtful yet humorous answers to traditional rapid-fire questions about his finances and personal life, carefully evading specifics and encouraging Broncano to share more about himself instead. This playful refusal also demonstrated Gutiérrez's knack for entertaining without revealing too much about his private life, a trait he shares with many public figures endeavoring to maintain a distance from investment in tabloids.
Overall, Quim Gutiérrez’s appearance on 'La Revuelta' proved to be not just a promotion of his film but a reflection on the vulnerabilities associated with aging and fame. The comedic yet sincere exchanges highlighted the relatable human experience of grappling with personal dilemmas while entertaining an audience looking for both laughter and depth in their nightly programming.
