Mario Casas: "A man has the right to cry without being ashamed"

Like the doctor who hides behind Mr. Hyde (or simply and by English, the man who hides),

is both an adorable and perfectly despicable guy.

Things from the cinema.

On Netflix he stars in

, by Carles Torras, and since Friday at the movies he has been doing the same in

, by David Victori.

In both cases, the actor twists within his character until he vomits the worst (in the first case) and the best (in the second).

Now it is yours to fill the rooms in times of emptiness.

What is it like to act in times of COVID? All movies are now science fiction.

We live an incomprehensible situation with the safety distances, the masks ... It is not that it is only cold, life has simply frozen. Does it make sense to release a movie in these strange conditions? Now it makes more sense than ever.

For those of us who make films it is a commitment.

Of course we could delay the date as so many have done, but then what about the cinema and the theaters?

We have to stay there and try to make this happen.

We are all lost.

We were supposed to do a preview and my parents called me to find out whether or not they could go down to Madrid from El Escorial ... Does the responsibility of taking people to the movies weigh?

Are you okay with star status? I'm tired of hearing about "Mario takes people to the movies."

I have never finished believing it for not being superb.

Now I would love it to be true. Isn't it contradictory to talk about cinema and simultaneously make films for Netflix? No, platforms have served to fill a gap left by cinema.

They have been a lot of work.

On the other hand, I have to thank the platforms that thanks to them have seen me in places that I would never have imagined.

They open many roads.

That Hollywood thing ... has changed.

That Antonio Banderas thing that opened the doors to many Spaniards is no longer like that.

Now Hollywood is everywhere.

Once again in You will not kill, Mario Casas seems to be fighting against the typical image that the media strive to give of him.

What is he running from? I don't like running from anything.

There is a phrase that I use a lot and it is that I want to get out of the comfort zone.

I know it is a cliché, but I try to apply it to the letter.

I seek to do things that I do not know how to do.

How does he get along with the teenage idol Mario Casas? I owe almost everything to that Mario Casas.

I am who I am right now because of him.

What's more, I would do Three meters above the sky again without hesitation.

And the same goes for a romantic drama like Palm Trees in the Snow.

They are films that many people take to the cinema and it would be idiotic to renounce it.

In addition, they are films that women like a lot and women are the ones who take the boyfriends to the movies.

Not the other way around. Who would you like to look like? I don't doubt there.

When I see people like Joaquin Phoenix, Shia LaBeouf, Jake Gyllenhaal ... Or Javier Bardem.

They are actors ... (laughs) ... I don't compare myself to them, watch out.

They are simply my references.

You see these races and you realize that they are people who always take risks.

I think of Tom Hardy for example and he has no problem making the worst movie in the world if he falls in love with the character.

Everything about him is

He came from making an example of toxic and narcissistic masculinity in 'The Practitioner' and now, in 'You will not kill', he gives life to a personality that would fit the definition of new masculinity.

Is there something you are trying to tell us? I like that the change is noticed and that they connect.

Yes, my character is now a sensitive man who is not afraid to show himself as he is.

Yes, that is the new and more educated masculinity.

Man has the right to cry without being ashamed.

I hope that is the future.

Was that the reason why you chose the film: to show us the future? I was very interested in delving into one question: what is being good?

What is really being a good person? Have you found the answer? I'm on it.

The fun and interesting thing about all this is that neither the good guys are as good as they seem nor the bad guys as much as they presume. Will we emerge better from the pandemic? He would be a messiah if he knew.

I just hope that we humans will all go together.

They want to divide us, but the enemy is not the person next to us. Who are those who don't want us together? Clearly the politicians.
