Nicolás Buenfil Begins Televisa Production Job, Stresses Merit and a Behind-the-Camera Path

The 20-year-old grandson of former president Ernesto Zedillo signals only tentative interest in politics.

Overview

  • Buenfil has started an entry-level post at Televisa as a production assistant in the Media area focused on digital and social content work.
  • He and his mother, actress Erika Buenfil, deny that his hiring stemmed from influence, saying he passed a standard screening process on his own.
  • The young worker says he prefers creative production and marketing over acting and is using the role to learn with a long-term goal of building a business.
  • He reports an improving but occasional relationship with his father, Ernesto Zedillo Jr., and has asked to be introduced to his grandfather, former president Ernesto Zedillo.
  • Asked about politics, he says a future run is only a possibility and would depend on gaining the personal strength and preparation he considers necessary.
