Mauricio Ochmann and Aislinn Derbez are navigating a unique professional and personal dynamic as they star together in the film "Hasta el fin del mundo." The former couple, who divorced six years ago, recently sat down on Derbez's podcast, "El orden del caos," to discuss their enduring connection and the experience of working together again.

Ochmann described the filming process as surprisingly comfortable, attributing it to their natural chemistry, mutual respect, and professional admiration. "It felt very comfortable because, genuinely, we get along very well professionally," he shared. "There is admiration, there is respect, there is a natural scenic communication, everything was very familiar."

Derbez admitted that initially, after their separation, she was hesitant to cast Ochmann in the film, even telling him she would never act with him again. However, two years ago, she reached out to him for the project. "I remember I told you, 'The day you make this movie, if you need an actor, call me, I really want to do it,' and you told me, 'No way, what are you talking about? We're not together anymore, it can't be done, I will never act with you again in my life,'" Ochmann recalled.

Despite their past, the experience of filming "Hasta el fin del mundo" in another country brought them closer. They even shared childcare duties for their daughter, Kailani, during their time on set. "For me, it was very beautiful, and at the end of the day, we would go back to taking care of real life, and there was another complicity there," Ochmann added.

Ochmann also spoke about Derbez being his "great teacher" in life, helping him heal from childhood pains and find himself after their relationship. Derbez, in turn, reflected on how Ochmann was the love of her life from their first date, though her own way of managing love led to feelings of apprehension and possessiveness.
