We all have an inseparable friend with whom we have experienced unforgettable
moments, and to whom we tell all our secrets whether they be about love, good times or sadness. Enrique Iglesias introduced us to his best friend, Andrés, a guy who has spent a lot of time with him and who holds his utmost trust.
WHO IS ANDRES?
Andrés Restrepo is a 22 year-old [the article is from 1997, remember] Colombian. He studied Sound Engineering at the University of Orlando [University of Miami], U.S. Since he graduated he has accompanied Enrique everywhere and they have a great time.
"ENRIQUE IS MY BEST FRIEND"
How did you meet Enrique?
When we went to school together, ten years ago.
And have you always been good friends?
Yes, we get along very well. We're almost exactly the same. We like the same things, we have a lot of fun, we like to play pranks, he's my best friend.
How is Enrique as a friend?
He's a faithful friend, a modest kid who likes to share with everyone. In spite of his success, he and I still get along the same way we did ten years ago. He's not at all conceited, at times he's shy and introverted.
How was Enrique when he was a boy?
Like any other boy in elementary school. We used to like to play pranks on our classmates and sometimes we got in trouble, but of course, we also studied.
Does he tell you his secrets?
Of course! He tells me everything, but I don't think I should say what he talks to me about... that's why they're secrets between friends.
"THE GIRLS DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO US"
Do you always travel with Enrique?
Sometimes. When he invites me I go, especially now that I have finished school. I have more opportunities to accompany him and I really like to... I have met a lot of great people thanks to those trips.
Which one of you has had more girlfriends?
We're about equal. We've hardly had any girlfriends because we're both shy and girls don't pay any attention to us.
