Ricardo Darín once again addressed the viral phenomenon that originated from a domestic comment about the price of empanadas. The actor discussed the topic this Monday during an interview with Mario Pergolini on Otro día perdido (El Trece).
Darín explained how an everyday conversation with his wife ended up turning into a "mess" that dominated social media and TV shows.
