Between theater and television, where do you feel most at ease?
Television gives you wonderful things like audiences who see you at home, people who love you, who identify with you. In addition to training that allows me to be very productive in my work (…) I’ve always been an apprentice on television, but I can also tell you that this soap opera I’m doing now is my last soap opera and I say it firmly, because television has already given me what it had to give me, but it’s not a place that makes me happy (…) it’s an environment where there are always knives behind you.
And how do you feel on the boards?
At the theater everyone is a team and they are worried that the team will go on and also on television, but everyone cares only about their fame. In the theater you are a person, the director treats you like a human being, at least Javier was wonderful in that sense.

What made you want this role The shape of things?
Theater has given me, it gives me life, it allows me to have a direct connection with the public, to feel its energy.

How is chemistry with Ricardo V.?
I’ve always said, Ricardo is my best friend, we’ve known each other for ten years. And working with him is like working with a brother, it’s wonderful.

In your career, as great opportunities come, challenges also come when you are a recognized character … what was the most difficult part of this aspect for you?
The hardest thing is famous phrase ‘in my humble opinion …’, because that’s how they start their message and then continue to offend you. It bothers me that they talk about my private life, yeah, but what really bothers me is that they say I have to get used to this to be a public talent, but no it’s not what we have to do and say it’s normalize that guy from the violence. Or someone tells me to “eat something” because they think I’m too thin, it’s violence because nobody knows what’s really going on. This bothers me and I don’t mind crying, but rather angry.
What are your next projects?
we would like to take the shape of things to other cities and i also have plans for december and next year, but the truth is i think everything is preparing me to take the next step, to step out of my comfort zone and venture into the world and that one day the people who follow me or my family can see me on some other platform. Life has been pushing me for a long time, it’s telling me: go away, go away, go away? Y I can tell you my days are numbered in this country. (AND)
