Xolo Maridue\u00f1a relies on his family to keep him grounded as he prepares for the release of “Blue Beetle,” his first starring role. He explained to People Magazine<\/em>, “That has been a thing that has helped keep my mental state the best, having people around me that have been there,” adding that without his family, it would be harder to “figure out where I fit in with this larger Hollywood world or ecosystem.”<\/p>\n

Maridue\u00f1a calls his family “the biggest source of support” he has and said that, no matter what he tried, “they always instilled such confidence in me and believed in me. 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.”<\/p>\n
