Xolo Maridueña has his mom to thank for an early, pre-Blue Beetle interest in superheroes.”I personally was not a huge comic book reader,” Maridueña revealed in a People interview ahead of Blue Beetle’s theatrical release. “But my mother, who helped raise me and was reading me bedtime stories at night, definitely was reading comic books instead of, you know, Goodnight Moon,” he added, describing her as, “the type of kid who worked to buy records and comic books. So for that reason, of course, I knew who Blue Beetle was and had watched Young Justice and was familiar with the character.”Additionally, the Cobra Kai star credited his family for supporting his acting career and other childhood interests regardless of the odds. “Growing up, because they were so toxically positive with any venture that I ever wanted to do, whether it was stop-motion animation or writing or chemistry, they always instilled such confidence in me and believed in me,” Maridueña recalled. “Even though I was a bad soccer player, they still went to my game! I wasn’t always the best, but they really helped create this sense of confidence at a young age — whether it was illusory or real — that I could do anything that I put my mind to. They were so supportive and they made so many sacrifices.”RELATED: Xolo Maridueña Reacts to Landing Blue Beetle Role in Emotional BTS Video
