00:00Cristian, welcome to Costa Rica, welcome to GC Comunicaciones, it's a pleasure to have you here.
00:05Tell us a little bit about what you're doing in Costa Rica, what your expectations are, and let's get to know you.
00:11But obviously, because of your most recent series, which is on Netflix, it's no secret that in Costa Rica
00:15Real Soto, in Valvera, mainly the one we know. So, tell us a little bit of the truth,
00:19First, what are you doing here? Well, first of all, the pleasure is all mine to be here for the interview.
00:22And so my friends from Unique invited me here; it's a company I'm supporting.
00:27I was invited to learn about this, to learn about their culture, their customs, how they live, what the festival is like,
00:33How is everything? And the truth is, on such a beautiful date as Christmas, I'm happy and excited to be here.
00:38And here I am with you all, happy and eager to explore. I'm back, I arrived two hours ago.
00:43And the truth is I'm looking forward to getting up tomorrow and exploring the city and seeing a little bit of everything.
00:49How long will you be here?
00:50I'll be here for about 10 days. Oh, I'm spending Christmas Eve here, and Christmas Day here.
00:55Ah, very good, I was going to have the chance to get to know you quite well.
00:58Yes, yes, yes, very much so. What do you recommend here?
01:02It really depends; it could be the beach.
01:05Beach? Yes, pure life, pure life.
01:07Volcanoes? What kind of beach is it?
01:10No, not a volcano in the strictest sense, let's say. There are quite a few volcanoes here in Costa Rica as well.
01:16Excellent.
01:16That part is also a bit more mountainous, with hot springs, that sort of thing...
01:19That's like something you can't miss, right?
01:21They're all kinds of things. Costa Rica is very varied, but those are definitely the two options that I think most people come here looking for.
01:27That's great. And what else? What food do you recommend?
01:31Perhaps we should look a little more towards the traditional, like what we popularly call "picadillos" around here, which is like what maybe...
01:37Minced meat?
01:38Minced meat. There are different types of equipment.
01:39In Huelva it is also called picadillo, like with tuna, with tomato and so on.
01:42Ah, it's more like a potato line, chayote, depending, let's say, more on vegetables with some kind of protein that sometimes comes with it.
01:51Cristian, tell us a little bit, okay? About, let's say, your part in the ferment, about the difference, right?
01:56From Europe, as well as from the performance side, such as Latin America, which is where you have been developing the most in the Cimaroon.
02:02Well, yes, the truth is that I think in the end it's all the same, isn't it? It's the same in Spain, the United States, Mexico, Colombia, and wherever I've worked.
02:10In the end, what matters is the character they're looking for, the talent, the profile, the story they're going to tell, right?
02:17In the end, I went to Mexico very young, I started my career there, my career in series like Luis Miguel, Hernán, Pedro Infante.
02:25And then, thank God, I was looking for a Spanish actor for the series Señor de los Cielos, and I was fortunate enough, thank God, to win that role.
02:33And in Colombia, by chance, thanks to the character Vicky plays, the police told me that there was a casting call in Colombia, looking for a Spaniard.
02:40And that's how I got the role of Brian Juan, but in the end it's the same in every industry: search for the truth, find an artist who tells a story.
02:47that tells the story of a character with their strengths and weaknesses, and that's what we do, right?
02:53And the culture shock, doesn't it affect you a bit in terms of acting and the cultural aspect?
02:58No, we're Latinos, right? In the end, Spaniards are a bit different, they're different cultures, but honestly, I've seen a lot of similarities between Colombian and Mexican culture.
03:06The way they work is very professional, with a lot of passion, with a lot of dedication. The directors and producers, honestly, it's like a gift, isn't it? A dream.
03:15What's next? What can you tell us? I don't know if you already have something going on, if you're doing any kind of filming, if you have a script you're studying.
03:22Well, today I had some very good news, I can't tell you, and I'm filming a movie called The Wheel, and a series in Spain called Love In.
03:30And I want to return to Colombia soon, I'm looking forward to it, and maybe play in another country.
03:38And is there any other type of acting that would catch your attention?
03:42Like what?
03:42It's a type, I don't know, more, more fantastical, let's say, not in the vein you've been doing a lot, in the Tirasis part, in the drug traffickers part, in the revenge part, but a little more drama, romantic in this vein.
03:54A romantic movie, a love story, yes, I'd love that. Something like the ones Máxima Coragio used to make, that's the style I'd love.
04:06Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, so, thank you very much, enjoy your trip to Costa Rica, and may it not be the first time we come here.
04:13Oh, thank you so much, really, sweetheart.
04:15Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes.
