Episode 24: Mexican Actor And Producer Eduardo Verástegui Talks The Type Of Men Women Should Be Pursuing And ‘The Sound Of Freedom’ Film

Janet Giachino and Ally Portee sat down, over Zoom during the Covid_19 quarantine to speak with Mexican actor, model, producer, philanthropist, businessman, and former Mexican-Kairo boyband member Eduardo Verástegui. He got his start in Mexico City as a model and actor for soap operas, later joining a boyband. His heart was into his-then definition of success: fame, women, acting and singing. After discovering and accepting Jesus for himself, Verástegui started the production company Metanoia Films, with the goal of producing films that had the potential to not only entertain but also to make a difference in society.

In 2013, Verástegui worked with top TV producer Mark Burnett to be an executive producer on the Spanish Language version of his film, Son of God. And, in 2015, Verástegui co-starred alongside Kevin James in the movie, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, and alongside Oscar-nominated actors, Emily Watson and Tom Wilkinson in the highly acclaimed movie Little Boy, which Verástegui also produced.

His film, Sound of Freedom, which he produced was supposed to hit theaters in 2020 but didn’t arrive until 2023, delves into the global issue of human trafficking through the true story of a former CIA agent.
