Shakira Could Be Sued For Copying Late Actor Gomez Bolanos’ Iconic Dance Move
Late Actor Gomez Bolanos was a Mexican actor-comedian who was widely known as one of the icons of Spanish-speaking humor and entertainment and one of the greatest comedians of all time. He is one of the most respected personalities in Latin America who gained more fame by working in the sitcom El Chavo del 8 as Chavo.
According to the reports, the Colombian actor could be sued by Bolanos’ wife Florinda Meza because of allegedly copying a dance move from his character. In Shakira’s new song, Te felicito which was released back in April this year, the choreography used in the Colombian singer’s song resembles the well-known garrotera, a movement that Chavo used to perform every time he was scared.
Following the release of the new song, Shakira had become the center of attraction, she performs a movement in MV that simulates a robot which her fans found very similar to Bolanos’s robotic movements when he is in an intimidating situation.
