Rocío Carrasco Confirms What Many Were Suspecting About Her Father, Pedro Carrasco

Rocío Carrasco has cleared up doubts about her mysterious project by confirming that she is working on a series about the lives of her famous parents. The production will focus on the sports career of her father, Pedro Carrasco, leaving the media frenzy of his final stage in the background.

For years, the figure of Pedro Carrasco has been a subject of debate both for his achievements in boxing and his personal life. He was a world champion who brought Spain's name to the top, but also a character whose story has been told in a fragmented and, at times, biased manner.

Now, his daughter Rocío seeks to reclaim his legacy through an audiovisual project that promises to reveal the truth about his career and private life. What details has she revealed about this anticipated production?

Rocío Carrasco Confirms What Many Were Suspecting About Her Father, Pedro Carrasco

During the interview on Radioestadio Noche, from Onda Cero, Rocío Carrasco shared details about the series, ensuring that she seeks to portray her parents' lives from their beginnings. "They deserve their real story and not to be remembered for the last years of their lives," she stated. For her, her father "knew he was a star, but his story is poorly told."

The series will also explore his relationship with Rocío Jurado, with whom he formed one of the most iconic couples in the entertainment world. However, beyond the romantic story, Carrasco wishes to show the connection they both shared with music and sports.

Additionally, it will delve into Pedro Carrasco's role as a father and the ups and downs of his relationship with Rocío Carrasco. "I liked to tease my parents because they both had a wonderful gift of gab, and I loved to coax them," she recounted, recalling childhood anecdotes. Moments of reconciliation will also be included, such as the one that occurred shortly before the former champion's passing.

Rocío Carrasco Will Address Her Father's Career

The series will address Pedro Carrasco's childhood in Alosno (Huelva), his time in Brazil and Italy, and his return to Spain as European Champion. "My father was a prodigy and was born for this," Carrasco asserted, emphasizing that her grandfather considered him a hero. "They called him 'El peinao' because they said he entered the ring combed and left combed," she recalled with humor.

One of the key aspects of the production will be to show the lesser-known side of the boxer. Rocío Carrasco wants the public to understand his work ethic, his sacrifice, and his love for boxing. "He received offers he didn't want to accept for anything in the world. He said that fights had to be clean and other types of fights didn't fit in his mind or his profession," she explained.

Indeed, one of the most notable aspects of the legendary pugilist's career was his ethics in the sport. Rocío Carrasco revealed that her father decided to retire in 1972 because "he saw things he wasn't comfortable with." She assured that "fights had to be clean" and that "boxing is a noble sport."

During the interview, the businesswoman revealed a conversation with her father that, to this day, she hasn't been able to forget. "He told me: <<Rocío, I'm not fighting with another person, I'm doing a sport. We're friends>>," revealed the champion's daughter.

The series aims to reflect these values and move away from the media sensationalism that has often surrounded his figure. With this project, Rocío Carrasco seeks for her father to be remembered as an exemplary athlete and a man of principles, beyond his romantic life and controversies.

The confirmation of this series represents a shift in the public perception of Rocío Carrasco, who seeks to honor her father from a historical rather than a media perspective. With this project, she vindicates the legacy of Pedro Carrasco and his true story. Will she manage to change the narrative that has surrounded his figure until now?
