This Saturday opens with the prelude to the Goya, the Forqué awards, the ban on awards, pools and other movements in the world. The interview is therefore very timely. Cristina Fernandez makes him in The reason to one of our best and most beloved actresses. “We are what we speak, even when we don’t know what to say“he points out Maria Adánezwho has become, thanks to his role in The grammarin the accidental philosopher of the Spanish language.
A cleaning woman who, after an accident, becomes a RAE scholar and begins to ask existential questions as if they were grandfather’s sayings: “Are we what we talk about?“, he repeats in the interview. So be careful, because if on Tuesday you used the word “gauze“, you may be defining yourself as a relic of the eighties. And if you use anglicisms like “cringe” o “random“, you’re probably what they call a wandering Instagram soul.
“Being yourself is very difficult… but what a liberation when you achieve it”
This headline has the flavor of after-dinner self-help, but if Adánez says it with that look capable of emptying the Mercadona on a Monday, perhaps it is true. María has spent years perfecting the art of saying no and practicing detachment from the superficial, especially from the aesthetic standards of her profession. “Actors tell stories, we are not models“, he says, as if he were adjusting a lab coat while unraveling the DNA of talent. His secret to surviving the mirage of fame: living a “simple life“. Sure, simple… but with prizes, awards and a triumphant return to The One That Comes. So it is easy to live in peace.
“Let the wars end and give me a Goya, please”
Maria likes to think big, and that’s why her wish list for 2025 includes what we all want but never ask for out loud: “let the wars end“. And, between the lines, that this other war that comedy wages to be taken seriously also ends. Because if this chameleonic actress is clear about something, it is that making people laugh is not a joke. She learned it from Verónica Forqué: “You have to play characters with traumas to be truly valued“And although she has done it, María continues to defend comedy as a greater art, one that she masters with the naturalness of someone who hasn’t slept for 48 hours but stands on the set saying: “I’m at my best“.
After three years of retirement, he has returned with everything: “I’m starting to be myself more than ever“In other words, imagine María Adánez’s best cocktail: a pinch of Salomé, a touch of Miss Juliaa teaspoon of Bethlehem (yes, the one from There is no one who lives here), and a splash of self-confident woman, with ice. Stir it well and serve it in a full theater, because laughter—like good actresses—never goes out of style.
