Cristina Pardo and Iñaki López: Their Hilarious Cameo in 'Torrente, Presidente' and How They Spilled the Beans on 'Más Vale Tarde'

If there's a TV duo that has won the hearts of the Spanish public, it's undoubtedly Cristina Pardo and Iñaki López. The hosts of 'Más vale tarde' (laSexta) not only rule the afternoons with their unique take on current events, but they've now made the leap to the big screen. And not just any leap: they've done it hand-in-hand with the one and only Santiago Segura in his latest installment of the saga, 'Torrente, presidente'.

Last week, while watching the movie, we couldn't believe our eyes: there they were, Cristina Pardo Schlesinger (yes, with that illustrious double-barreled surname) and her colleague, fully immersed in the Torrente universe. The scene, which we won't reveal to avoid spoilers, has been one of the most talked-about on social media. But the best part came after, when they decided to discuss the whole moment on their own show.

On 'Más vale tarde,' both of them opened up about the experience. Iñaki, with his trademark irony, said they agreed "because Segura is a genius, and also because he promised we'd look incredibly handsome." Cristina Pardo, for her part, couldn't help but laugh remembering the bloopers: "Santiago is a whirlwind; he makes you feel right at home, but then suddenly you're surrounded by the most outlandish characters and you think, 'What have I gotten myself into?'"

The chemistry between the hosts and the director was evident in every anecdote. Here are the best tidbits they shared live on air:

• "The hardest part was keeping a straight face during filming," Iñaki confessed, prompting laughter from his co-host.
• "My mom called me, completely freaking out after seeing me in the theater," Cristina Pardo shared between chuckles.
• "Santiago told us we were the hosts he'd always dreamed of for Torrente," Pardo added with her characteristic humor.

And of course, in Navarra, the home region of Cristina Pardo Schlesinger, the cameo hasn't gone unnoticed. The Foral Community has proudly celebrated the journalist's foray into film, as she's already one of the area's most beloved figures. And rightfully so: seeing a serious, rigorous journalist dive headfirst into the wacky world of Torrente takes some serious chops.

For now, the duo continues to lead the afternoons on laSexta, but this little cinematic detour proves that Cristina Pardo and Iñaki López can handle just about anything. Will we be seeing them in more movies soon? Maybe Santiago Segura is already cooking up a new role for them. In the meantime, we're happy enjoying them every afternoon and rewatching this cameo, which is already a part of Spanish cinema history.
