Funny, faithful, powerful, endearing … Several reasons could explain the love that fans have for Nairobi. If we recently made a point on the history and the name of each of the robbers, there are still many things you don’t know about this heroine. In this regard, his interpreter is just as fascinating: Alba Flores comes from a family of artists (a renowned musician and composer and a renowned actress and singer grandmother) and started acting lessons at the age of 13. And that’s nothing compared to everything you will learn about the actress and the character of Nairobi!
The actress has experienced many traumas in her personal life
If Alba Flores embodies the tormented character of Nairobi as well, it is because she too has experienced many traumas. She had to grow up alone after watching her father die at the age of 8. The latter was an alcoholic. Two weeks before this sad event, the little girl lost her grandmother, Lola Flores. The actress therefore had to build with the only landmark, her mom.
Nairobi was not scheduled to cast La Casa de Papel
If she is one of the favorite characters of fans of La Casa de Papel, Nairobi was not scheduled for the casting! Álex Pina said that one female protagonist (Tokyo) was not enough and he thought about Nairobi. The designer was already working with Alba Flores in the Spanish series Vis à Vis. So he wrote this role specially for her, knowing full well that his personality and his story were going to stick with Nairobi. Difficult today to imagine the series without this iconic character!
His feelings about the death of his character
As you know, Nairobi was killed by Gandía in part 4 of the series, after having been saved for the first time by the members of the team. It’s a big blow for the fans and you had to suspect it. How does the actress experience the death of her character? Surprisingly, she is quite satisfied with this conclusion. For her, Nairobi’s death was inevitable. The actress also says she is “relieved” to be free because the show took a big place in her life. Nevertheless, she would have liked her character to die more dramatically.
The show season she prefers
In an interview for the magazine Identity, Alba Flores said she had the most fun filming season 2 of La Casa de Papel (Netflix). She was able to show both the hard side and the sensitivity of her character.
The actor / character from La Casa de Papel with whom she preferred to work
Alba Flores revealed that the person she had enjoyed working with the most was Berlin aka Pedro Alonso! On the screen or in the city, this character is definitely always appreciated. The actress said he was extremely funny!
Can we hope to see her again in season 5 of La Casa de Papel in the form of flashbacks?
Finally, can we hope to find the character of Nairobi in season 5 of La Casa de Papel ? If she is not there in the flesh, she could come back in the form of flashbacks, like Berlin. We will certainly see how the robbers experience her departure, and we especially think of Helsinki, to which she was very close. So, do you still love him as much?
