J. A. Bayona Pranks David Broncano on La Revuelta With Twin-Switch Reveal

A staged video call followed by a surprise entrance turned his promotional visit for Vieja Loca into a televised prank.

Overview

  • Carlos Bayona took the guest seat posing as his twin, accepted the customary gifts and began the interview as if he were the director.
  • Producers then put through a live video call in which J. A. Bayona claimed a delayed train from Barcelona before entering the theater in person to expose the ruse.
  • David Broncano realized he had interviewed the wrong brother and congratulated the pair for the well-executed stunt.
  • Coverage describes the moment as a lighthearted gag consistent with the show’s tone, with references to a previous on-camera mix-up at Sitges as playful motivation.
  • Bayona’s appearance promoted Vieja Loca, a film he produced with direction by Martín Mauregui and starring Carmen Maura and Daniel Hendler.
