In the caption, Aguilar went on to tell his fans about what his mother means to him and how she's supported him through his acting career.
“Who gives a f--- Benjamin, you can do ANYTHING you want to do in this life and f--- anyone that thinks we are crazy. Who is saying that? I’ll f--- them up. I believe in you. I have no doubt. you hear me? NO DOUBT. I’ll sell my car, my jewelry, my watch? My home. Anything. I believe in you. What do you need?,'” he said.
The actor continued, "'Thanks ma, i just need headshots right now.'"
But Aguilar wasn't done there, as he elaborated on how his mother's attitude gave him major confidence.
" 'Why don’t we get you a limousine for your auditions so you show up and feel like a f------ star?'
- 'No ma, i dont need a limousine, that would be weird, and you can’t even pay rent right now, I just need more experience.'
- 'Why not? What would Leonardo DiCaprio do?'
- 'I don’t think Leonardo DiCaprio showed up in limousines to auditions but I get your point. But no, I’m good. I’ll talk to you later, I love you'".
The Chicago P.D. stars, who's originally from Guatemala, continued in Spanish, "Mami linda. Gracias por mi vida. Y por enseñarme a nadar en contra de la corriente! Sin salvavidas y con la frente en alto! Gracias por tu amor incondicional. Gracias por creer en mi. ♥️ And thank you for building me into the man I have become. You didn’t have it easy. Far from it. Tu eres mi héroe. Te celebro hoy en el dia de las madres. Y el resto de mi vida. 🤍."
