In a 2019 interview with Latin Heat, Clotet said moving to the United States is "the ultimate goal. The actor went on to say, "It would be a dream come true. I am putting all of my energy to use this momentum to make it happen. During the second season of Por Amar Sin Ley, ninety percent of my scenes were shot in the U.S. (N.Y., Boston, San Antonio, L.A., and San Diego), and most of my part I had to do in English which was wonderful."

I can't wait to be cast in an American project!"
