Pergolini Says Cris Morena Bought Him a PlayStation to Play 'God' in Floricienta

Shared decades after the show's finale, the remark frames a behind-the-scenes casting choice as a personal, nostalgic anecdote.

Overview

  • Mario Pergolini revealed in a televised interview that he accepted a cameo as 'God' in Floricienta because producer Cris Morena gave him his first PlayStation as an incentive.
  • Pergolini said he originally resisted the offer because he was not an actor and felt embarrassed about performing on a fiction set.
  • He told the host that he did not have a close relationship with Cris Morena at the time, and that the PlayStation gift was what changed his mind.
  • The anecdote drew laughter in the studio, and Pergolini later rewatched the scene and commented that his performance "wasn't that bad."
  • Argentine outlets have presented the remark as verified, light human-interest news that revisits Floricienta's cultural impact rather than opening any new dispute.
