• Ferro said he spent seven months without acting work, signed up for Uber, and found driving to be an “ansiolítico” that helped manage downtime.
• He recounted learning he was cast in Disney+ series Quebranto during a ride from Retiro to Aeroparque, noting he did not audition for the role.
• The rider described recognizing Ferro after an Emilia Mernes concert and said a payment‑alias transfer confirmed his identity, an anecdote widely recirculated by the press.
