MEXICO CITY.
During the one-year coronavirus pandemic in Mexico, several celebrities moved their talents to TikTok, a social network where content is shared through short videos, in order to entertain. One of the first to join this application, which was originally conceived for kids, but which over the months has attracted several adults and even the occasional older adult, was the actress Erika Buenfil.
The 57-year-old actress, who today has 11.1 million followers, is considered to be The Queen of TikTok due to the number of videos that he uploads in which he sings, imitates or imitates his voice to audios that become trend. This application allowed the actress to reposition her career, now among young people and for brands to notice her to offer products that she promotes.
Eugenio Derbez and sons are others who have attracted attention throughout this year of pandemic. Whether together or each separately, the Derbezes make it clear that they like to entertain. The family patriarch, who has 11.7 million followers, became a trend less than a week ago when he announced that he is adopting five tiktokers to make videos with them. That caused thousands of users of the Chinese network to create videos in which they try to convince the Mexican to adopt them and boost their careers. Even grandparents in their 80s and 90s made videos asking you to adopt them regardless of their age.
The singer Thalía is another who has poured her creativity into this network in which she has seven million followers. The actress who is also close to turning 50, has taken advantage of this space to promote her eponymous cosmetic brand, to perform duets with her followers or to dance, imitate, do a challenge or show videos of when she started as a singer. A few days ago she made a video in which she said that she was criticized for allegedly having removed some ribs to have a small waist and with a dramatic musical background she told her critics that they showed her her exercise routines, giving them to understand that she does exercise to be like that.
One of those who tries to share her exercise routines and who has been criticized by some discriminatory comments is Bárbara de Regil. One of the videos with the most traffic was when, while making a video and putting on a filter, he commented: “Oh, how dark, how ugly, nooo.” That video sparked a movement to point out discrimination in a Mexico where brown skin predominates. In addition to this video, there was another in which he was seen exercising and suddenly he approached the camera to say: “Smile, I want you to smile. Attitude above all, that nobody turns you off, is your smile ”. That video made people do duets with her, like the one she performed Cress, a member of Botellita de Jerez, in which he is seen lighting a supposedly marijuana pipe and begins to laugh when Barbara says “I want you to smile.” Comedian Jo Jo Jorge Falcón did the same with Regil’s video, holding a glass of wine and smiling as if he were drunk.
Another celebrity who has joined TikTok is former soccer player Luis Hernández The matador, who has 925 thousand followers. The athlete performs duets, lip syncs and challenges, which has caused several brands to pay him to advertise their products.
Other celebrities who have fallen on the social network to entertain are Ricky Martin, Will Smith, Jason Derulo, Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Danna Paola and Ariel Miramontes, among others.
