1965 Press Photo Clown Tequila and his son

Early starts... .... who wants to become a real clown - and Nil wants too ! He really intends to walk in his fathers steps, who is that huge and especially always cheery and happy. When Daddy, who is known as Clown Tequila (the civil name Diego Carrasco) enters the manege to make fun, children and adults burst into laughter. Nil adores this and when he becomes older he wants to do exactly the same as his father. But it still takes some time until he will be able to give his first number. In the meantime he learns how to use the right make up. He is nearly perfect, since he watches Daddy every day how to use the red nose and the large mouth - only the sign at the front-head is very difficult. If Daddy is in good temper like today, then he give "private lesson for clowns" to his son. But for the time being little Nil can only dream of the day when he will be a well known clown. (At present Tequila gives performances with the Spanish National Circus in Munich - where the picture was taken).
