The popular Cuban comedian Luis Silva, known for portraying the beloved Pánfilo, congratulated his castmate Marlon Pijuán, who brought Isidoro to life on the show "Vivir del Cuento," with a quirky and entertaining post on Instagram.
"Isidoro's birthday. Have an excellent day, my brother. A hug," Silva wrote alongside several photos, in one of which both individuals are posing with their backs to the camera, wearing ripped pants that reveal a good "edge," as they say in good Cuban fashion.
Marlon himself reacted to the post with laughter: “My brother, thank you so much, you are loved and missed. P.S.: that’s an epic photo”.
But that wasn't all. Silva, true to his style, joked that the birthday gift had been a failure of the National Electroenergetic System: "You've been given a failure of the Electroenergetic System, but you know how to celebrate in any case. Last October, I got the same gift."
Marlon, for his part, responded with resigned humor: "What a lovely way for our people to remember my birthday; I confess it wasn't my gift."
The photo, in addition to provoking laughter among followers, has generated a wave of nostalgia for the antics of the duo Pánfilo-Isidoro, characters that are greatly missed in Cuba following the censorship of the program “Vivir del Cuento”.
