Enrique Iglesias learnt charm from dad
London, April 16 : Singer Enrique Iglesias says his father Julio taught him how to charm fans.
Iglesias enjoys talking to fans and posing with his female fans. He claims he learnt that from his dad - Julio Iglesias - when he was a kid, contactmusic.com reports. He said: "I consider myself a very affectionate person. I personally would never stand around for seven hours waiting for my pop idol to turn up. But that's why, when fans do just that, the least I can do is reward them. "I learned this from my father, who has always treated his fans with the greatest respect and as equals. There are no two ways about it: You have to spoil your fans because without them, you're nothing. "By the time I left home at the age of 18 there was nothing I needed to ask (my father). I'd learned it all growing up as a child by his side."

Santiago, Chile Concert Review
Julio Iglesias makes 10,000 fans go wild
The Spanish singer performed last night in the Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile, to celebrate the forty years of his career.
Praise for and gratitude to our country (Chile) was what marked the encounter of Julio Iglesias with his Chilean fans, who sang along and shouted during the two hours of the show.
"You don't know the happiness it gives me to return to a country which was the first country I encountered as an artist. You bet on me when I was young," were some of the words of the artist, referring to his first presentation in the Viña del Mar Festival in 1969.
Songs like "Me olvidé de vivir," "Manuela," "Abrázame," "Échame a mí la culpa," "A media luz" and "Me va, me va," among others, were part of the repertory of the Spaniard, who showed the same passion and energy as in previous occasions.
The ample array of hits - many sung in English - was accompanied by 6 musicians onstage, 3 backup singers, and 2 tango dancers.
In spite of the fact that he was celebrating the forty years of his career, the 65-year-old Julio Iglesias enjoyed joking that he was "only 47".
