He belongs to the honorable club of those who apologize and explain. And only for a slight delay of five minutes. Some of the ingenuity and spontaneity of her already mythical film characters can be found in this woman from Malaga who turned 60 as a happy grandmother who is allergic to certain aesthetic accents… «There are those who open their mouths like a piston”. After four years without being on stage, María Barranco opens on April 13 at the Teatro Marquina ‘El Premio’ in Madrid, with Jorge Sanz and Ana Turpin. “You catch me giving birth to my character.”
– And how is the delivery?
– There I go, I put the lyrics in, although at this point in my life I’m just holding on to fluids, heh, heh… I’ve always had a really hard time remembering the lyrics. But I’m very happy with the whole team, I had a lot of laughs and fun.
– The typical atmosphere of a comedy, I think.
-Ah no, daughter, there are comedies where Albacete’s knives are sharpened… Here we have made a family. With Jorge Sanz we are already like brothers.
– ‘The prize’ speaks of ambition, corruption…
-Yes, it is a critique of these well-endowed literary awards that should be chosen by hand. And it’s that if they dig us a little bit, we don’t know how much we can sell ourselves. Everyone has a price.
-You too?
I don’t know what I would do in a border state. Luckily I haven’t been in that situation, but if it suddenly depended on my daughters’ food, I wouldn’t have any doubts.
-Her character is an editor.
-Yes, with very bad grapes. Then I was told that editors often have a bad character. This is like Attila’s horse, no grass grows where it passes. I like him because he says barbarities and beats well given. And I, having played so many naive girls, want a stronger one.
–In addition, she is the ‘ex’ writer. Are you a good ‘ex’?
-She’s a tocanarices, a cojonera fly. Her husband abandoned her for a younger one, which normally doesn’t happen, right, ha, ha, ha… So he calls ‘the other’ anything but beautiful. But that’s fiction. In real life I’m not like that because a ‘War of the Roses’ doesn’t pay. I give money so as not to argue.
– I see that he is well over 60 years old.
Yes, I wouldn’t go back at all. I am healthy and life has given me grandchildren. Not from my daughter Andrea, but from Ainhoa, the daughter of Imanol (Uribe). I have three. Yesterday I left the rehearsals dead, I went to pick them up from school and it’s like I took a shot of vitamins. They are my life. The little boy, who is six years old, tells me that he thinks I’m beautiful and that I make him very happy, and that my fatigue is over and everything is over. I tell him: «Honey, what you order is done by ‘abu’. If you tell me to jump out the window, I’ll jump.” And he says to me, “‘Abu’, throw yourself down the clothesline because there are ropes and you can grab yourself,” ha, ha, ha… I’m very lucky.
-And it continues to resist cosmetic tweaks.
-The most important thing is that you look healthy. If you do things to yourself and they’re not visible, that’s great. But don’t change your face, we’ll work with that. Don’t put on a mouth that looks like a plunger… Then I go places and don’t recognize people until they speak. In short, if you don’t get any younger in the end, you become an ‘old opera’. And I refuse.
