Gabriel Iglesias Wiki Biography

Gabriel J. Iglesias was born on 15 July 1976 in San Diego, California USA of Mexican descent. He is a comedian, film and television producer, actor, screenwriter and director. He is perhaps best recognised for his comedy show “I’m Not Fat…I’m Fluffy”.

So how rich is Gabriel Iglesias? Sources estimate his current net worth to be $15 million and it seems to be increasing with each year. Most of it has been accumulated from his movie “The Fluffy Movie”, and his work as a voice actor in “El Americano: The Movie”, “The Book of Life” and others, during a career which began in the late 1990s.

Gabriel Iglesias lived in Long Beach for most of his formative years. After matriculating, he started his career as a comedian while still working at a ‘phone company. He decided that comedy was something that he wanted to do in his life as a full-time job, and so quit his regular job, despite his relatives advising against it. His first appearance on television was in 2000 in the Nickelodeon TV comedy series “All That”, in which he played a variety of characters during his first year, and which established his net worth.

Then In 2006 he was one of the contestants in the reality television show “Last Comic Standing”, managing to progress as one of the eight comedians participating, although later disqualified. In 2011, “Comedy Central” released Gabriel’s stand-up comedy series entitled “Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand Up Revolution”, which received positive reviews from the public and comedy enthusiasts, so adding considerably to his net worth.

Gabriel’s work as a voice actor became an important part of his career too, and so boosted his net worth. In 2008 he voiced a group of characters in the popular animated series “Family Guy”, and he also became the voice of several characters in another animated series – “The High Fructose Adventures of the Annoying Orange” in 2012 – which was a show that was first known as a YouTube web series “The Annoying Orange”.

While this is probably not related to his involvement in a previously mentioned series, in 2012 he was also invited to guest star in an episode of the popular YouTube series “Epic Meal Time”, and has also been featured in another popular YouTube series, “Equals Three”, several times. Gabriel is also known for working as a voice actor in feature movies –  he became the voice of Ned and Zed in Walt Disney Pictures animated movie “Planes” in 2013, and the following year he voiced the character Jimmy in the animated comedy “The Nut Job”. In the same year, he also voiced the character Pepe Rodriguez in the animated musical comedy “The Book of Life”, and Garcia in another animated movie, “El Americano”, in 2015. Currently, he is working on a comedy drama film “Magic Mike XXL”  released in 2017, all of which added steadily to his net worth.

In his personal life, Gabriel Iglesias is known for having struggled with health problems because of being overweight, at one time 445 lbs/200 kgs, and contracted Type 2 diabetes which threatened his life. However, he seems to have managed to get into a healthier lifestyle, and now continues to talk about his weight as one of the topics of his comedy shows. He apparently lives with his girlfriend Claudia Valdez in San Diego, and they share a son from her previous relationship. In 2012, he received the Beacon of H.O.P.E. Award for his charitable efforts, involvement and continuous support with the organisation.

Gabriel Iglesias Quotes

  • I want to get so famous that I don’t have to wake up in the morning. It’ll probably never happen.
  • I almost bought a DeLorean the other day just because. If I see something that I think is cool and I like it, I’ll go for it.
  • I know what it’s like to have a family and not have insurance and really need it. As a comic, insurance was one of those sacrifices I made early on until I could afford it.
  • I get a lot of influence from pro wrestling. People are like, ‘Oh, it’s fake.’ But it’s not about whether the guy wins or loses, it’s about how he entertains you the whole time you’re watching.
  • As far as guys who perform onstage, I love Chris Rock. I’m kind of jaded on everyone else.
  • I never go perform somewhere alone. I’ve done that since day one. I’ve always taken other comics with me.
  • I’m always very happy to talk to people. I relate to people, and the guy on stage is very much the guy that’s off stage. People know when it’s fake.
  • Being on TV sucks. It’s a lot of work. You memorize scripts and then you show up and they change everything. I’m a control freak. When I’m doing stand-up, I say what I want and then I get instant feedback.
  • I wanted to be a comedian, and this is what I’m doing. If I can keep this going, I’m happy.
  • I learned early on, stay away from politics, stay away from religion and don’t talk about sports. Those three right there will get you in trouble.
  • I just know you can not be on top forever. There’s always going to be the next guy, and if I’m going to go down, I’d like to know I helped the next guy take my spot. You can’t prevent the inevitable, but you can join the ship.
  • Some comics don’t like it when people talk during the set, and it does get a little bit annoying after awhile, but I basically let people dictate what jokes I’m going to do.
  • In the beginning, when I was doing my shows, I was incorporating a lot of Spanish, just trying to be a Latino comic instead of just a comic. Now I try to make the show as broad as possible… I don’t want to alienate people. I want to make it so everybody can follow along and everybody can relate.
  • The Ford Flex is a really, really cool car. You get inside and you have so much headroom and it’s really comfortable to drive and it’s real techy inside. You look at the screen and it’s blue and you’ve got all kinds of controls. Everything is digital.
  • Comedy is my passion. I’m going to do this until I drop.
  • I was not the popular kid in school.
  • I don’t have to worry about writing jokes. I just tell stories about things that have happened to me. As long as I’m alive and I’m living and I’m experiencing different things every day, the show will always change.
  • Comedians do movies and TV so that when they tour, they sell out. That’s the goal: To get popular enough so the place is packed.
  • When you leave, you basically want to go eat, because I talk a lot about food in my act. So when you leave, you leave hungry.
  • I’m a big guy, but I’m really simple with the food. I’ll hit the In-N-Out or just the regular buffets.
  • I don’t get controversial, I don’t get political and I don’t tell you what to do with your life. I just go out there and tell some stories, and people can relate.
  • I’m a comedian who happens to be Latino. What’s the difference? The difference is, my special will air on Comedy Central, not Telemundo.
  • You gotta live life before you can talk about it. Sometimes when things don’t work out in life, they work out on stage.
  • You wonder why I only talk about my personal life. But that’s all I’ve ever done.
  • Connecting with people is not hard. I love the interaction and the feedback after shows. It does take some time, but the fans appreciate it which makes it worth it.
  • I found that laughter was a form of acceptance, and I really enjoyed that and I just – I crave it.
  • I usually travel with a posse. I roll deep. I travel like a rapper, but without the artillery. We don’t carry guns, we carry cookies.
  • I’m all about showing people that I’m a little messed up, I have a lot of the same problems you have. By exposing myself and putting myself out there, people can relate to me and my act won’t grow stale. I mean, nobody wants to hear a comedian say, ‘Life is great.’
  • Believe it or not, I’ve got a really bad metabolism. One burger and I’m done. I’m not a guy that puts away 10 burgers.
  • I started riding the whole ‘fluffy’ train, and it’s a cute word and socially a lot more acceptable than someone saying is fat or obese. If you call a girl ‘fat,’ yo, she’ll raise hell, but if you say, ‘Aw girl, look at you, you’re fluffy,’ there’s almost a sexy appeal to it.
