The Mexican actress Eiza González, known for her beauty and talent, has managed to establish herself as one of the most prominent figures in the entertainment industry. Her career has led her to participate in international productions alongside renowned Hollywood actors. However, there was a moment in her life when her future in acting seemed uncertain.

In an interview on Kelly Clarkson's show, Eiza González revealed that at the age of five, she was fired from an iconic children's program: "I was on Sesame Street for a moment because I got kicked out." The actress confessed that she was the one who encouraged the child cast to behave inappropriately, which resulted in her unexpected exit from the project.

This episode marked her first job dismissal, and according to her own words, it was due to her hyperactivity and her tendency to challenge those around her: "I was a hyperactive child and I also liked to provoke people. I was a genuine threat." Despite this experience, Eiza managed to resume her acting career, demonstrating her determination and passion for this art.

The actress's mother warned her at that time that she wouldn't be able to make a living from acting due to her mischievous behavior. However, Eiza González overcame this obstacle and moved forward in her career, proving that her talent and dedication were stronger than any adversity.
