Friend of the disappeared Angel christ or the humorist Arrocet Mustache, the life of Payasito has been full of lights and shadows. The artist knew what it was like to go hungry, and he also got to know the Zarzuela rooms, where he entertained an innocent Philip V on several occasions with his art when this was little.
Just a few months ago, Payasito gave an interview in ‘La Razón’ to talk about his past and his recent financial ruin and his relationship with royalty:
“Sometimes They called me from the Royal House to perform in private shows on the birthdays of King Felipe and his sisters. The then prince was very similar to his nephew Froilán, a junk. It drove us crazy. I also worked for Pepe Barroso and his children, and for other important people. Don Felipe will not remember me, but his father, the King Emeritus, yes, he has greeted me when we have met somewhere. He is a very friendly and friendly man. I really like him”, he confessed a few months ago.
