MEXICO CITY -- A video has gone viral in which a TV Azteca reporter asks Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron about the technical and human difficulties of shooting the thriller Gravity in space.

The journalist has since been revealed as Carlos "El Capi" Perez, a field reporter for the comedic talk show Deberían Estar Trabajando (You Should Be Working).

Perez later left the following comment on his Twitter account: "Forgive me Twitter for being a professional committed to information."

Gravity has received worldwide praise for its cutting-edge cinematography and special effects.
