Ray became famous after a friend of Luisito Rey, Luis Miguel’s father, found him in a hotel in Mar del Plata in 1995 and was impressed by his uncanny physical resemblance, reports La Razón.

In the Argentinian show “Infama”, broadcast four years ago, Ray clarified that it is not the singer who contacts him personally to play him, but companies or producers.

In addition, he noted that they contact him a week before the show and give him the necessary clothes to look like a Mexican artist. He also said that he was hired to perform in various countries, such as Mexico, Ecuador and cities in the United States, such as Miami.

“What I want to clarify is that it’s very important that I’m not called Luis Miguel, sometimes it’s producers or people who are on staff for a certain job that I limit myself to doing as an actor, because I’m an actor,” he explained.

For his part, in the Argentine program DDM, he also told that in 2008 he performed in front of 14,000 people. “I went on stage with a microphone. I sang the song and people were like, ‘Is that him or not?’ He managed to deceive them with music and precise movements,” revealed the impersonator.

At the moment, neither the Mexican artist nor the production company has denied the strange theory about the use of doubles by Luis Miguel, the artist continues his concert tour in Argentina, the last one scheduled for August 18. (AND)
