Backstage With… Eva Longoria on her feature directorial debut Flamin' Hot
"I think there's obviously stereotypes that have been about our community for so long, but also because we don't get many movies like this,” she says, adding that"Hollywood gets to define what a hero is".
"I had the opportunity to create a hero and I wanted him to look like Richard Montañez. I wanted him to be brown. I wanted him to sound like my dad. And I want our community specifically to be able to look up onscreen and go, 'Wow, that guy did all that'."Richard Montañez was born in an east Los Angeles barrio community to Mexican-American parents in the late 1950s.
Just before filming for Longoria's Flamin' Hot began, the LA Times published an article seemingly refuting Montañez’s claims that he invented the Flamin' Hot Cheeto.
When asked if it had an impact on her directorial decisions, Longoria says:"No, it had zero impact on the movie.'This is his truth and this movie is true' "I never wanted to do the documentary of The Flaming Hot Cheeto and how it was invented. I've always wanted to tell the true story of Richard Montañez, and his story is fascinating. His life is fascinating."
