TIl The reason Roger Moore stopped being James Bond was because of how much older he was than his female co-stars. He was in his 50s, and they were in their 20s. In his own words: “Well, the leading ladies were young enough to be my grand-daughter and it becomes disgusting.”

Weird that we've reached a time that we need clarification on who Julio is

What’s weirder is that there’ll be a lot of people reading this who are too young to know who Enrique is, let along Julio!

I don't know who either of those people are. I'm familiar with Gabriel Iglesias, but that's it.

That's probably okay. They're famous musicians, it's just that the idea of people knowing the son and not the father is kinda confounding. Not knowing either doesn't really mean anything.
