TEGUCIGALPA, HONDURAS.- He was barely 15 years old when with a bag loaded with clothes and many dreams to fulfill, Facundo Caballero decided to leave everything to start a new life.

The contempt, teasing and blows forged their character and at their discretion also made him a multifaceted boy, self -insurance, proud to be gay and with a very promising career on television.

"Although my mother laughed and said: 'You are crazy' (and that) my dad punished me very strong when I thought that it was not right (being homosexual)...He prompted me to want to run from the town to fight for what he really wanted, "Caballero began to El Heraldo.

Here the full interview.

¿Quién es Facundo Caballero?¿Cuáles son tus orígenes?

I am from a town in Santa Rosa de Copán, a really Mayan town.Even if I see me so outgoing, that village child is always (present) because I lived 15 years in the town.

I come from a very humble family, but I have always said that the humble should not be reflected as poverty.I have been very visionary from where I want to arrive, I have a fixed goal of what I want in my future.I always put the goals in the short term and I am passionate about fashion, television.

¿Cómo recuerdas tu infancia?

My childhood was very hard, quite heavy.I can't blame my parents because they were raised in the same way.I always imagine them thinking about having an educated and correct child, according to them.

They sent me to work in the field since childhood, although I would not like.I did it out of fear, respect my parents and for winning the food dish.

Since childhood I always rebelled for my sexual orientation.I had many problems with my dad, family, friends and I received a lot of bullying and severe punishments;But, that was never a limitation to show who I am since childhood.

¿De dónde surge el interés por el mundo de la televisión?

Since childhood I always knew what I wanted to be.I remember that from the Kinder I felt very identified with artistic things.In civic acts I always polished me to present the best (from me) and thus I grew up.

When I watched television I told my parents: 'I'm going to go out in a novel.I want to be a singer, dancer and actor ', although then I looked impossible.

Although my mother laughed and said: 'You are crazy (and that) my dad punished me strong because I.However, he also prompted me to want to run from the town to fight for what he really wanted.

¿Qué tan difícil ha sido llegar hasta donde estás hoy?

It was very difficult, because even as a teenager I wanted to take my life.Seeing the way my dad despised me and punished me like an animal.It was there where I said: 'I already endured everything, I reached the limit, no more'.

From the beginning I was very direct about my sexuality.To each television channel I have reached, always what I say is: 'Do you have a problem with my sexual orientation?'Because I don't want them to say I have to act as a heterosexual man when I am not.

¿Cómo fue tu debut en los medios de comunicación?

I left the town to look for work at second.I went to work at a maquila in Choloma (day and night), studying, but I never took the idea of the head of wanting to work on television.And I looked for it.

I worked on Channel 11 (San Pedro Sula) as a wild card.I told them: 'I want to learn, but I am not studying this (journalism), give me the opportunity and I will not disappoint them'.There I worked for a year for free, although they really taught me a lot.

I do my debut on 7th Street, as a competitor in two015.

¿A qué le atañes todos tus logros?

I feel that it is the passion that I put to things.I like to prepare well to do something, put a lot of effort to things and when something is not right, I like people to tell me to improve it.

I'm going for five years on TV Azteca.I have committed endless errors that are so that they already fire me immediately and I feel that they see something in me.They have sent me to work several times because I feel like what I do.

¿Qué tan complejo es sobresalir en Honduras?

In my case it is very difficult because society is very complicated and retrograde.To say that I am openly gay on television and that they give you a space costs.

For example, a little less than a month ago I received a proposal from Acts and the first thing they told me was that...They are a Christian program and we are very happy that you could work with us, but there are many things you have to change.From there I said no.I don't have to change, I don't have to go back.

Tienes una tienda en línea, ¿cómo te va con eso?

I am doing very well, I think it's the best thing that happened to me.The Facu closet was born as a result of the pandemic due to the economic problem that all this brought.The channel had to suspend more than half of the staff and I was included.

The only income I had was my salary and I was forced to think what I'm going to do.And I said: 'Well, I'm going to start selling my clothes'.I started and what I sold in a week was impressive.

I thought it was a very good idea and that it could be a bigger project.Indeed, I didn't make mistakes.I started only in Pandemia.Now, I brought my two sisters from Santa Rosa and they are working with me.It is already a family business and we are generating employment to three more people who are not part of our family.People's acceptance is impressive.

¿Qué es lo que más disfrutas hacer?

They can laugh, but I love going to Second Clothing Stores.Is what I enjoy most.Every day I go is like an adrenaline of knowing what I'm going to find.It is something impressive that would not change for anything in the world.

Cinco cosas que no sabíamos de Facundo

1.My real name is not Facundo, it is Darwin Josué Caballero in love.

two.I come from a town.

3.I am not a journalist, although it works in a media.

4.I am practically the dad of my two sisters.They became my daughters a year ago, they are minors.

5.Last year I was about to get married.I was going to marry a Mexican producer, but the relationship was over when the pandemic began.

¿Tienes el corazón abierto para una nueva relación?

At the moment I am very focused on my projects.I can't say that I don't have time to meet someone, but now I'm full with TV Azteca and my store.

¿Qué características debe reunir esa persona para llamar la atención de Facundo?

It has to be a person with feet well placed on the ground.That has your very defined personality because sometimes we get a lot of physical and then we don't like it because it changes.I always look for a person who knows well what he wants in life and who has his fixed goals.

¿Te consideras un chico guapo?

Of course!I receive many compliments from both children that I am handsome.It is not like that the most handsome in Honduras creates me, but I am attractive in what fits.

¿Qué opinas sobre la legalización del aborto en Honduras y del matrimonio en personas del mismo sexo?

The legalization of abortion I feel that it has to be from a person who wants to do it.It must be legal for me.Because suddenly a girl was raped and was pregnant and does not want to have her baby.This child can probably come to suffer from this world and would not give his best.

Marriage (gay) has taken long to legalize it.It was obvious that Costa Rica would be the first Central American country (in approving it), I hope Honduras also do so.

Everyone must make the decision to do what they want with their lives and if a woman with another woman is happy, he has to do it, the boys still.

We should never fit people with labels.We have that bad habit of saying: 'Ah, this is gay, this is a lesbian!'I think everyone came to this world to leave a great legacy and work for what he wants.We don't have to have a limiting.
