established in Miami, United States, Cross said on the show The mornings of CiberCuba: “No, I have not returned to Cuba. The Government does not love me. Yes, I am satisfied that they are now seeing me in Cuba through Planted”.
This satisfaction, according to the veteran actor, with an important career in his country, is added to the fact that he did not have to give in to the authorities of the island.
“Without having to go to Cuba (…) to bend in front of the government, the public is watching me,” he said. “And I know there are still some people who love me.”
“There will be some who don’t love me … It’s not that they don’t love me anymore, it’s because I’m no longer a revolutionary …”, joked Creu, who played the remembered character of Adolfo, archetype of island bureaucrat, in the film Guantanamera (1995), directed by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea (Titón) and the recently disappeared Juan Carlos Tabío.

According to the artist, also remembered for roles in television series such as Cabinda O the papaloteros, “This love” died “over there, in the seventies.”
“I realized it was all a game: it seemed like yes, it seemed like no,” he recalled. “As a friend of mine who lived in La Lisa used to say, and was a neighborhood man, ‘They bring you a letter …'”
Cruz left in 1999 “disappointed in everything”: “There was no illusion and a human being cannot live without illusion,” he said.
From his point of view, “a political system that does not allow human beings to have hope (…) is going nowhere. And it is already proven,” he pointed out, “not only in Cuba, but previously , in heaps of places “.
“The time will come when it will end … The best thing about bad things is that they end,” said Adolfito of The beauty of the Alhambra, Who also participated in memorable Cuban films such as A successful man, secondary roles, the honest ones, Alice in Wonderland i adorable lies.
