The actress talks with LOC about her return to Spain, her need to settle down, her mental health, her worries, her new projects and how in love she is with life.
This Thursday, in Barcelona, Desigual celebrated the event of the year: a parade, in Plaza Rosa dels Vents, and an unforgettable party in its headquarters, where numerous celebrities arrived. Among them, Paris Jackson -the daughter of the late king of pop-, the Netflix actress Andrea Chaparro, the model Amelia Gray and Ester Expósito (24), who had not spoken to the press for months. However, on this occasion, the Madrid native was friendly and accepted the questions from everyone present with great sympathy. “I’m happy to be here. “I feel good, I’m relaxed and I really want to have a good time,” she told LOC.
- She returns to Spain as an international star and style icon. She has become a reference. Do you feel that powerful?
- I just believe that I have a great speaker on the networks and that is why certain things I do or look become a trend. But I don’t know if I’m a “style icon”, because I don’t have much of a style strategy. I’m doing what I want and I like. Obviously, I think about things. At the beginning of my career I wasn’t that concerned, but – over the years – I have started to pay more attention to it.
- Let’s say then that it has risen as an icon, but without the intention of doing so…
- It’s not that I’m trying to make people consider me an icon, that seems like a lot of responsibility to me! If you already feel pressure when you go to a photocall and you have to choose a look, imagine the pressure you feel when you think that you also have to be a reference. You go a little crazy and suffer a little. So I wear what I feel and today I wear Desigual. A brand that is fashionable and has something very fresh and young.
- In addition to fashion, he is triumphing in cinema. Tell me about his new project, called El llanto.
- It’s a horror movie, which has always been my favorite genre, as a viewer. So, as an actress, it is an honor to be able to participate in that type of cinema. I have been lucky enough to make two very special horror films: this one, which will be released in October, and Venus, where I had a great time filming. But with El llanto it was different… Because it is a very psychological, very metaphorical film.
- And how is that reflected in your character?
- I think this movie has an energy that hasn’t been seen in me before. I wear a wig, I have black hair and I think it’s cool to see myself differently.
- And right now, are you shooting something new?
- Hmm… I can’t say much. But I’m going to start filming something, which I’m very excited about, because it’s here, in Spain. I have been living abroad for several months, in Mexico, and I am glad to return home. Furthermore, it is a film with a very talented director and a script written by another director, whom I greatly admire. We spent five years trying to make the film and, finally, it will be possible to make it.
- Even so, I imagine that he will make time to rest, take a vacation…
- Yes, that’s what I want: to rest and travel. Above all, for Spain, which I fancy. As always, I want to go to Galicia, to my town, to see my friends. And then, I think a getaway outside would also do me good.
- He leads a hectic life, with a very busy schedule. How is your mental health?
- I’m doing well. It has been very good for me to be working abroad and to have the opportunity to live in Mexico, which is a country that I adore and has a wonderful culture. For me, it has been incredibly lucky. And now it’s also good for me to come home. I was looking forward to coming back! I think that’s going to give me like… Peace. I think I needed to go back and settle down, because it’s true that I was up and down, non-stop. I always have a great time. But it’s true that I’ve been working a lot, so I’m also a little tired.
- Despite this, I imagine that she feels very satisfied with her life, her career and everything she has achieved.
- I feel privileged, because – at a very young age – things have gone well for me in what has always been my dream, as a child. But I also feel what everyone feels… Well, I don’t know if everyone, but I’m talking about an internal struggle with me: it’s hard for me to enjoy the moment and what I have, because I’m always thinking about the future, about what that comes ahead. But I’m trying to appreciate the moment and the beautiful things. Although, sometimes, it is difficult. It’s not that easy.
