Eugenio Derbez May Partner With Emilio Estefan For New TV Project

By Michael Lopez

It looks like Eugenio Derbez has some big ambitions about his Hollywood career. Outside from his upcoming sitcom ¡Rob!, he's hoping to work on yet another American TV project, with a little help from Emilio Estefan.

Speaking with People en Español, Eugenio confessed that he's a little unfamiliar with the way things work in La La Land. That's why he's hoping to use a few connections from his pal Emilio to get his creative projects off the ground.

"Estoy empezando de cero en otro país y es muy difícil, pero quiero hacer mis propias producciones,” he explained. "Será como iniciar mi carrera, tendré que demostrar y llevar ideas. Por eso estoy intentando con Emilio para producir. Él está muy emocionado, contento y yo también."

Derbez is keeping hush hush on what ideas he's cooking up, but we imagine they'll be putting his comedic chops to good use. Eugenio's currently getting big laughs in Jack & Jill (especially for his abuelita role) and we can't wait to see what he does next!
