Julio: Actually, the Spanish police found him and saved his life. Allison: What is your parent’s relationship like today? Do they maintain a friendship? Julio: Oh yes, they have a great relationship. They love each other very much and they talk all the time. Allison: That is awesome. What is a big Iglesias family gathering like? Julio: I’m lucky in the sense that I get to spend two Christmas’ in the sense that we spend some part of Christmas in Europe and some part of Christmas in the U.S., because we have my father’s side, my mother’s side, and then I have my sister who has two kids, my brother who has three kids. So when we all gather together, we need a ballroom. It’s crazy. Allison: Do you think you will ever have kids? Julio: Yes, of course. I would love to. I still feel young and strong. Allison: You are crazy fit. What is your fitness routine? Julio: I’m just always doing something, and I love sports. I don’t eat meat. I do a lot of sports. I’m always doing something. I’m always moving. I’m not a couch potato. I don’t sit on the couch and do nothing. I sleep well and I’m always very active in anything that I do. That is the only thing, and my genes, because my mother is very thin. My father is pretty thin too, so genes are also part of it. Allison: Do you think you, your father, and your brother, Enrique, would ever tour together at some point? Julio: I think so. We’ve spoken about it at family reunions and it would be something amazing. [We would] maybe even record a song together and then tour. Allison: What is the best advice you have ever received? Julio: My father told me to be true to yourself and be a good person. Surround yourself with good people that are trustworthy, and that you can learn from. Allison: Do you pray? And, if so, who or what do you pray to? Julio: I definitely believe in God, and I pray. When I pray, and I know this sounds corny, but I pray when I go on an airplane every time (laugh). I’ve always done that, my whole life. I’m so used to it. I get on an airplane and I start praying. I pray to God that everything is safe, and we are going to get to our destination in a safe way.
