Oh, thank you for this clip! I grew up watching "I Love Lucy" and I had a huge crush on Desi Arnaz when I was a little girl. I named all my male cats Desi. Seeing his son portray him is like having him alive again for a few minutes.
Lucy used to get freaked out when Desi Jr. would impersonate Desi Sr. voice. He called her a few times doing that voice and she couldn't tell who it was.
Bravo 👏 to Desi Arnaz Jr for playing his dad gosh he look so much like his dad but oh my gosh way to go Desi Arnaz Jr your mom and dad would be very proud of you and I know they are, looking down on you from heaven you did a great job Desi Arnaz Jr keep up the good work
Wow! Desi jr. looks so much like his father, and when you add in the accent, it's like seeing his dad all over again! I'm sure this wasn't easy to pull off, good job!
Fun to see him play his dad; definitely should have helped javier bardem with the accent lol. Although bardem’s voice is too deep so hard to pull off anyways. I cant help but think ‘these guys are all from cuba, they would be speaking Spanish to each other’ lol
“He went to his house in Mexico”? Mambo Kings came out in 1992, and Desi Arnaz, Sr. died in 1986. Therefore, how could this be possible? Moreover, Desi Arnaz Sr. lived near San Diego (in Del Mar, California-where he is buried).
Doug Barron I’m thinking about getting out of the Army, & trying to make it past an extra to the big leagues on the super screen. Any advice that you can give me?
I saw this movie in middle School when I first saw Desi jr (at the time I didn't know it was Desi's son) I flipped shit out if excitement cuz of the resemblance
actually Lucie Jr may have gotten her " looks " from mom's side or dad's she doesn't look like either parent .Desi Jr is mini me to his father .from what I read Desi Sr and Lucy struggled to even have Desi Jr .
Desi Jr you did a GREAT job playing your father. Terrific accent. Not overdone. Very natural and sounds very much like your father.
Gosh, I love this scene. Anytime I can get a recording of Desi, it's just amazing. And his son playing him, it's like Desi's alive again.
Agreed
100 percent
Wow!!! Desi did an awesome job portraying his dad. Brilliant performance.
Apparently his impression was so good that his mom was freaked out by it.
His voice is a friggin match to his dad! Wow!
Desi Jr. is astonishing as Desi Sr., but I guess he heard his dad speak enough times to really get that authentic sound under his ears.....

Nagyon megható film, szuper színészekkel, Armand Assante Lenyűgöző dobszólójával. 👋❤️

Desi Sr. always spoke perfect English with a Cuban accent.
Stellar performance 🎉
Antonio Banderas didn't speak English at the time. He learned his lines phonetically.
He learned English phonetically, and Armand Assante learned Spanish phonetically, for the movie...

Ésta película y está canción,se quedan grabadas por siempre,en el corazón...

I pulled this clip up for the same reason
Soy CHILENO NUNCA TUVE UNA POLOLA DE NOMBRE MARIA PERO ESTA PELICULA ME EMOCIONA MUCHO NO SE PORQUE SR ASSANTE QEPD
Desi, Jr channeling Desi, Sr.
Love the music
He worked for six months on the accent to sound like his dad, he went to his house in Mexico. Good movie!!

@Galahad Garza After his father's death. DA Jr lived in the house. There is an interview of him talking about it and how it echoed.
Why would he go to his dad's house in Mexico if Desi was Cuban???
He never lived in Mexico.
He sounds so muchos like his dad
And looks so much like him as well. He was very gracious to work with.
Did you know him
Araceli Gaeta Martinez I play the character of Mike Wells in this scene. So I only worked with him the one day.
Doug Barron I’m thinking about getting out of the Army, & trying to make it past an extra to the big leagues on the super screen. Any advice that you can give me?
I loved the movie that DAjr was in early in his career, featuring the song 'If I was a Hammer. Gaaa! He is true-blue gorgeous
I saw this movie in middle School when I first saw Desi jr (at the time I didn't know it was Desi's son) I flipped shit out if excitement cuz of the resemblance
He's missing the hair, the cig and the swag, but the voice is pretty close.
Love it
I seemed to see to Celia Cruz in the video. isn't not ???
Yes it is.
Indudablemente nada qué decir!!
What a movie!!!
I think both of Desi's kids look like him, they look nothing like Lucy. Desi Jr looks like his Dad, cuter version.
Wow. I think Lucie looks so much like her mom and I think Desi Sr was a lot more handsome than his son
actually Lucie Jr may have gotten her " looks " from mom's side or dad's she doesn't look like either parent .Desi Jr is mini me to his father .from what I read Desi Sr and Lucy struggled to even have Desi Jr .
Jr. has his dad's exact voice but not really anything else. The best part of this video was Celia Cruz.
The director should have made him appear with more charm and personality not such like a nice famous guy.
maybe that's the way cesar and nestor saw him ...as a famous icon, which is why they were starstruck.
With the exception of a word or two, I don't think he sounds anything like his dad. The accent keeps falling flat, or going in and out.
That needn't have been said. Some people just can't be anything but negative.
The Voice jajajajajaja!!!!
😭😭😭😭
Crapppppp babaluuuuuuu🤣😂🤣😂🤣
What a stupid movie.
Desi overrated, average at best
