![]() Also, when Pepita confronts him for the crimes he committed against the family, Ernesto was left pathetically screaming and begging the alebrije to release him unharmed. This was shown when Héctor, despite their differing skeletal structures and his declining condition, furiously attacked him after realizing Ernesto's hand in his death and later fleeing confrontation with an angered Rivera family, calling his security guards for these instances. ![]() When his actions were revealed and his former fans turned on him, Ernesto could only be silently distraught to realize he had lost everything he worked for as he was condemned for his vile nature.Įrnesto was also, in contrast to his suave appearance and daring movie roles, a filthy coward. As such, he is a dark parallel to Héctor and of what Miguel might have become if he had followed Ernesto's path. While Miguel, Héctor, and Imelda had great passions for music and (despite their flaws from them) stronger values in family, de la Cruz had none of these qualities only using music to gain popularity and willing to kill or use those he had close relationships with to get it. Even Miguel, a boy who greatly idolized him and was supposedly his own blood, was seen as a liability to the extent that he would resort to murdering the child to hide his secret, with no remorse whatsoever for his heinous acts staring coldly after Miguel when he sent him falling to his death and nonchalantly passing off the grief the action had on the late Rivera family while giving the helpless Héctor (Miguel's true ancestor) a cruel apology. While Ernesto himself isn't directly based off a real singer, Benjamin Bratt was heavily inspired in his performance by watching the work of Pedro Infante and Jorge Negrete, who are both legendarily Mexican singers and actors. Leaving behind a profound legacy after his death, Ernesto was determined to maintain this and was willing to go to malicious lengths (his murders even more darker after he died) to keep his image alive. Ernesto De La Cruz feels so well fleshed out that fans might be wondering if he has any real-life inspirations. He was even arrogant enough to hide this secret in one of his films, which led to his exposure and eventual downfall. His ambition drove him to murdering his best friend Héctor, who wanted to go home to his family, and subsequently steal his songbook and guitar to achieve fame and glory. Ernesto was actually selfish and desperate in life to the point of being a rank opportunist. While he may seem as a charming and charismatic man, Ernesto de la Cruz is deep down bitter, cruel, and a downright sociopath. Antonio Sol (Spanish singing) Ernesto de la Cruz is the main antagonist of the nineteenth Pixar film, Coco.
