How do you explain to a five-year-old what it means to be famous? That was the challenge David Bisbal faced when his young son wondered why his school friends had chased his father after school. "Life conversations with my 5-year-old teacher," the Spanish singer wrote on his Instagram, sharing this touching moment he had with his son Matteo.
"You know when you watch daddy's songs on the tablet? Well, it turns out that your friends and their moms and dads also watch my videos. So, they know my songs, and when I arrived at the school, they recognized me, and that's why they all came to see me," the artist explained to his son with great simplicity and humility.
Matteo, however, noticed that his dad had to hide, likely due to the swarm of fans, and amidst laughter, Bisbal told him that in the end, he hugged everyone, and it was just a show of affection: "Let's hug Matteo's dad!"
"You know what? Everyone says you're famous," Matteo added, still not fully convinced by his dad's explanation. With a smile he couldn't hide, Bisbal asked his son what being famous meant, and with his innocent response, Matteo said, "That you sing."
The tender moment between Bisbal and his little one quickly went viral on social media. Although the child turned five last April, the singer and his partner Roxanna Zanneti have decided to keep their children away from the virtual world.
