While taping a scene in the series "Catalina y Sebastian", a scene in which Hugo's Character, Macario was going to take a dip in a river, the director jokingly said: "Then you take it all off, and you jump in the river". Unaware it had been a joke, when the director called for action, Hugo took all his clothes off and jumped in the river to the surprise and laughter of everyone on location that day. The director decided to keep the scene as it was, becoming the first time that full back male nudity was shown in Mexican soap operas. After that, because of the buzz it caused, Hugo's derriere became a weekly fixture during the rest of the series' run.
