If there is something that the entertainment press loves to see, it is when the protagonists of a movie or television show fall in love. And even more so if their characters also happen to be a couple. Therefore, when Silvia Pinal and Pedro Infante began to appear together in different productions, speculation about a budding romance between the two did not take long to appear.
Without a doubt, Pedro Infante and Silvia Pinal are two of the most internationally recognized Mexican artists, especially for their careers on the big screen during the Golden Age of Mexican cinema. Both shared scenes in 6 films, in which the chemistry between The Immortal and Alejandra Guzmán's mother was undeniable, to the point that their fans began to believe that there was a romance between them.
The renowned actor and singer was also famous for his gala attitude, his good demeanor, and the image of masculinity that he conveyed. On her side, Silvia Pinal also enjoyed unparalleled beauty.
However, even though these rumors became increasingly stronger at the time, both the leading actress and the singer always made it clear that they were simply very good friends. Even several years after Infante's death, she continues to remember his friendship with great affection. “I loved Pedro very much because, apart from being an incredible character, he was a wonderful being, he was very simple,” Pinal said in an interview.
Silvia Pinal has stated that Pedro Infante was always charming to her, although her manner, in general, was typical of a flirtatious man, but without ever making the ladies uncomfortable. Indeed, on the filming set, she managed to steal some kisses from him, included in the script of the films they were working on, but never, off camera.
She assures that in real life they were just two excellent friends who had fun with the comic scenes. Likewise, as with any co-worker, by spending several hours a day together, it is natural that a fondness develops between the two.
The two had such a close relationship that it was not unusual to see Pedro Infante eating with Silvia Pinal's grandmother at her house. “Peter adored my grandmother. "She cooked very tasty food and he was a very glutton, they got along very well and he even sang to her," she said on one occasion. “Peter was from another world. “We were very friends,” declared the Mexican.
