"Yes, we took cameras to the [spacecraft]," he said. "We were in space for three and a half months. I got really dizzy while rehearsing."
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.
