Julián Gil Blasts “Disrespectful” Messi Campaign
Argentine actor Julián Gil has publicly voiced his outrage over a burgeoning campaign for his youngest son, Matías, to meet soccer legend Lionel Messi. The actor’s frustration is not with his son’s admiration for the athlete but is aimed squarely at the boy’s mother, Venezuelan actress Marjorie de Sousa, whom he accuses of being the hypocritical force behind the movement.
The core of Gil’s anger stems from the painful irony that a public effort is being made for his son to meet a celebrity, while he himself has been legally blocked from seeing Matías for years. This follows a highly publicized and contentious custody battle that resulted in de Sousa gaining full parental authority.
A Father’s Painful Plea and a Shocking Offer
For years, Gil has been a present father to his two older children and his grandchild, yet he has been unable to build a relationship with Matías. In an interview with the show “Despierta América,” which is reportedly promoting the campaign, Gil made a stunning revelation.
“I have access to Messi,” Gil stated, explaining that he could facilitate the meeting himself if that’s what was truly desired. He then laid down a powerful condition: “She should call me.”
However, he quickly pivoted to what he believes is the more urgent issue. “I think it’s much more important that he knows his dad,” Gil declared passionately.
A Challenge to His Ex and the Media
Instead of a celebrity meet-and-greet, Gil proposed a different kind of campaign. “I challenge her, I challenge ‘Despierta América,’ whoever is producing the show, to make a campaign for Matías to meet his dad, his siblings, his nephews,” he said. He emphasized that his son is being denied an entire family, a fact he finds deeply disrespectful.
“A Lack of Respect”
Gil did not mince words, calling the situation absurd and ridiculous. He expressed his disbelief that a television program would champion a meeting with a soccer player while completely ignoring the child’s separation from his father.
When asked about de Sousa’s consistent refusal to comment on the matter, Gil was blunt, suggesting she avoids the topic because she has no valid defense for her actions. “The longer time passes, the less she will talk,” he concluded. “She only spoke when it was convenient for her.”
