It is not a norm, but some cultural reason makes Paris a perfect setting to fulfill a dream. He went to the city of the Seine, Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower and Montmartre Carlos Alcaraz with half a promise fulfilled: he said at the age of 12 that his desire was to win Wimbledon and Roland Garros and landed in the French city with the first of the two tournaments in its showcase. The Philippe Chatrier has been one of his temples since yesterday because he was crowned there again. ‘King on earth’. Under the Pyrenees, all of Spain was closely following the Murcian’s game, with healthy adrenaline and experiencing firsthand the effects of the social glue that sport represents.
Of all the meetings to watch the game, there has been one whose passage through social networks has caused all kinds of comments, mostly positive, due to the apparent surrealism of the scene: Ana Mena and Pedro Almodóvar joined six other friends to watch the tennis match in a housearound a table with different plates of snacks and glasses of water and white wine.
A ‘date’ with more meaning than it seems
It was Ana Mena herself who shared two publications about this situation on her own Instagram profile, where she has accumulated almost a million and a half followers. In one of the images you can see the entire crew posing for a selfie with sunglasses, except for the Malaga singer, and visibly happy. The reason for the meeting was not known then.
The following video cleared up the doubts: Jau Fornés, one of the colleagues present at the evening, a television presenter and director who has close to 100,000 followers on the aforementioned platform, recorded a video of the exact moment in whichCarlos Alcaraz won the tournament and everyone exploded with happiness in the living room of the property. One of them asked himself a curious question as a result of that joy: “Roland Garros has won. Who is Roland Garros?”
The truth is that the relationship between Ana Mena and Pedro Almodóvar is not solely due to Carlos Alcaraz: The artist was part of the cast of The Skin I Live Inone of the most awarded films from La Mancha. As revealed in Planeta Calleja, the filmmaker summoned her to his office and asked her to sing a cappella a song that, he said, she needed to know Portuguese and she memorized thanks to Google Translate. Dreams come true not only in Paris.
