Singer and actress Monika Absolonová spoke about her early singing career and there were also funny moments from the stage. For example, what did she struggle with in the past?
The likeable singer, actress and presenter Monika Absolonová will celebrate her 48th birthday in a few days. “When I was fifteen and I found out from a magazine that Ivana Chýlková and David Koller share the same birthday as me on the twenty-seventh of September, I thought it was a sign that I would be a singer,” Monika recalled with a laugh on the Jan Krause Show. She received a beautiful bouquet from her host, which made her very happy.

“And it worked!” Monika declared with satisfaction that she didn’t always believe it. “I went to Kühn’s children’s choir and I was never distinguished by exceptional talent compared to other children. I was pretty average, and that lasted quite a long time,” Absolon said, adding that it only changed because she was fierce. “But nice fierce!” specified the singer.

Similarly, she approaches the reconstruction of her beloved cottage, which she organizes all by herself, and during which, according to her, she experiences a number of interesting experiences. The last time she was very surprised and at the same time amused when one of the craftsmen suggested that she make a ponk in the garage. “I already have a roof, windows, I already have poured floors, I already have plaster, and I can even hold a building plan in my hand properly, so I understand it and it’s great,” described the successful artist, who is obviously doing well, with humor to herself not only on the construction site, but also in the kumšt.

She gives great performances, for example, in the tragicomedy Judy, which deals with the fate of the American actress and jazz singer Judy Garland, where not only her musical but also acting talent stands out. “If he is a good director and knows how to work with wood, he will bring it out of me,” remarked Monika modestly. “The gro is actually a drama and sometimes it is sung. But I have to say that even the songs that I thought I would be comfortable with are not easy to learn. Again, Professor Klezl taught me, and when I came there and he played it for me, I told him, you are crazy, I will never sing that in my life. But eventually I learned it. I also learned the enormous amount of text, and I stopped being ashamed of being drunk on stage, throwing up, being fetted and so on. Although I was never photoshopped, I watched a lot of things, how people behave. So it was challenging, but good,” explained Absolonová.

In addition, she also added that even though Judy Garland is not so well known today, she used to be a superstar and an absolute icon of America who won an Oscar and a Grammy Award. “Unfortunately, she died at 47, which is me now. She didn’t live to be forty-eight, maybe I did! So we still have a few days…” she commented with an embarrassed smile. “And her daughter is Liza Minnelli, who also won an Oscar. It is a sad fate of an exceptional personality. From what I read about her, I have the feeling that she is one of the first victims of show business and the enormous fame,” said Monika. In addition to theater and singing, Monika also devotes a lot of energy to self-presentation on social networks, she cooks almost professionally and her two sons also give her a job. “One will be six and the other will be nine,” the mother of two added in the end, adding that the older one is explaining to her more and more often that he is completely out of it. “Always when we deal with something with the older one, who is in the third grade, the younger Matouš already arranges his way and says, Mom, I’m not doing it, see?!” the singer declared in the premiere episode of the Jan Krause Show, which you can watch on Wednesdays from 21.40 on Prima.
