Following the start of the film awards season, Guillermo del Toro showed off his Mexican roots amidst the festivities of the Sundance Film Festival, which is taking place from January 22 to February 1 in Park City, Utah.
Several videos have circulated on social media of the filmmaker spontaneously singing along with the mariachi band hired to entertain at the gathering, performing 'Me cansé de rogarle' by Pedro Infante, an iconic idol of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema.
As he sings by the fireplace, his friends take the opportunity to film and photograph him, while others watch him with admiration.
Guillermo del Toro, a lover of monsters and a promoter of creativity among youth, demonstrated that his brilliance as a film director has not stopped him from remaining passionate about Mexican food.
He showed that he knows how to 'make tortillas,' regardless of the fact that he was at one of the most important events promoting independent cinema.
In one of the videos, he is seen kneading the dough before using perfect technique to press it in the tortilla press.
The rest of those present watch attentively, and Del Toro even makes an avocado taco for film critic Tomris Laffly, who, surprised by his simplicity, asks him if he is going to add salsa, to which the Mexican filmmaker replies with a smile: 'It's fine as it is.'
'Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro made me a taco. It was delicious. Then, he sang for all of us. There is nothing this wonderful artist cannot do,' she acknowledged.

The Sundance Festival is significant for the Mexican filmmaker, as he presented his debut feature, 'Cronos,' there in 1994, which the industry defined as 'a small, strange, and deeply personal Mexican horror film.'
Now, 30 years later, it will be screened once again on the screens of Park City on January 27.
