Elite Release date, characters and everything you need to know about season 4
A
Miguel Bernardeau
Elite
changed his life. What is not clear is whether it was for the better. Today he is a successful actor. Fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, grandmothers and grandfathers look at him in line at the supermarket. He goes out to dinner and between the second course and the dessert they ask him for a photo. He's going to have a drink and ... he's not going to have a drink. The door of his house is the habitat of photographers on the hunt for his partner, the singer Aitana. There is no post on Instagram without a good or bad reaction from its fans. The life of the teenage star.
"At first it overwhelms you, but you have to manage it because it is useless to fight against it." Although it sounds like a complaint, it is not. Because at the gates of the fourth season of the series, which Netflix premieres tomorrow, in which
Esther Exposito
,
Danna Paola
and
Álvaro Rico
will no longer be there
, he was able to leave and decided to spend one more course at Las Encinas.
Have you not doubted whether you should continue? I wasn't convinced to stay when I found out Mina and Danna were leaving because my plot was totally linked to theirs, but I had a conversation with the creators. You have to know what he looks like in all this and they told me that Guzmán was going to continue to be relevant to the plot. Does the fear you say you have influence the end of Elite? I am not afraid of the end of Elite, I am afraid that they will not call me anymore, not working and not being able to live from this. It is the fear of getting up one day, that nobody calls you and having to look back to see what you have done wrong.
Nothing makes one think about this option for those who at 24 are riding the Elite wave, filming a series in Germany with the authors of
Dark
and having their project
Playa negra
underway
. And yet he suffers from imposter syndrome. «I have it for days because I do not know why I am here and not others. I am fortunate to be successful, but
I am so self-critical that I consider falling after so much luck
.
It is an increasingly recurring thought among young people. In my case it is because I have seen absolute geniuses in the schools I have been to in the United States, London and here that do not work, guys who do half an hour of monologue talking to themselves and call you that you think you are much worse. Could it not perhaps be a problem of self-demand? That and that the networks have given everything an excessive intensity. If I had done Elite outside of the Instagram era, I would not be as successful and I would not feel the whole world on top of me. That adds pressure and I'm one of those who doesn't look at it much. Is the craziness for Elite actors as much as it seems from the outside? Yes, but it is inevitable and you cannot torture yourself. I'm not going to complain because people stop me on the street and ask me for photos,but it is uncomfortable when you are in a restaurant and they record or when you go out for a drink and you cannot be in the street with everyone, which is what I like. Luckily, there are countries like Germany or Denmark where they don't care who you are, that's a pleasure. And what about the papparazzi at your door, how do you handle it? That suffers more Aitana, they persecute her more, but you do not choose who you fall in love with. I am very happy with my partner even if it has consequences. You learn to manage it even though I think your job is on the edge of the law. It is not justifiable that they chase you in cars or violate your privacy because not everything is worth for money. How is this fame managed since the age of 20? There I am lucky that my longtime friends and my family have been checking me and saying what things yes and what things not. If they see that my ego rises,My family stops me. The other day I heard him that it is from those people that the pandemic was good for him to be able to stop. I have dedicated those months to being alone, stopping and appreciating all this. You meet very interesting people and you are in incredible places but you go so fast that you take advantage of it. The luxury of living Elite becomes a condemnation because you neither see it nor feel it. Now I realize that I need more calm in success and, above all, in defeats.Now I realize that I need more calm in success and, above all, in defeats.Now I realize that I need more calm in success and, above all, in defeats.
Parents also see 'Elite', they look at me in the supermarket queue like their children ''
Among what he stopped to think was if he wanted to be a role model for young people [and those who are no longer so] hooked on
Elite
.
«I am not an actor to be an example of anyone because I am not perfect.
I am not one of those who want to transcend and be an icon.
If someone is served positive things that I do, it is an honor.
If I make a mistake in my job, it is my fault, but if I do it in my life and I disappoint you, I am sorry
.
I know I have a lot of followers and I try to use my networks in a positive way, but it makes me angry that even those things are thrown in your face when you do them.
As an example, he puts a day of spear fishing with friends that ended at dinner. «They told me everything, people who have never been to the sea in their lives and do not know that to begin with, a lot of pollution is reduced in fishing.
I can't be on social media as if this were war
, that's why I don't have Twitter, I don't want people making negative comments all the time.
Are the ones you have because your profession requires them? In the end, Instagram can't help it, I like to share some facets of my life like my love for the sea. It gives me pleasure to post a beautiful video and show it to people so that they can enjoy it and I also do it as an awareness of what is happening at sea. But I try to share the minimum and that my work on screen is valued. Don't you have the feeling that in
Elite
people are only left with the packaging and nothing with social criticism? To me from
Elite
I like that it is aware of what it is and does not pretend to be neither more nor less. But behind the glitter and speed is a message you can take and it shows what young people really are like. With my character you can see how he transforms from being a racist and xenophobic to accepting everything, in this season there is sex of many types and with all kinds of people. That helps normalize the advances our generation has made on this issue. Is there a bit of a myth that it is a series that scandalizes parents and is only watched by young people? Fathers and mothers also watch
Elite
, in the queue of the supermarket they stare at you just like their children. It also seems very good to me that we move away from the restrictions that porn has imposed on all generations, including ours. Opening the mentality in that is good if it is done with responsibility and wisdom because we are very hooked on an image that we have seen in porn and it is very dangerous because it creates submission towards women. This situation is not real and creates conflict situations that are uncomfortable for them. Anything to change that is positive. There we go back to the
Elite
social message
under the shiny wrapper. I don't know if
Elite
He wants to give a specific message, but if you want to take it and it suits you, that's cool. Of course there are series with a clearer message and I would like to be in them, but here what we do is teach young people in their purest form. It is true that the volume is turned up a lot and an extreme life is shown, but the background is pure. I have not been to parties like the Elite ones but if the volume were lowered they would not reach the people as much. Now he speaks on many issues that a few years ago he shunned. Is that maturity? I do it with what touches me personally and it hurts. If I go to the sea or the park that is next to my house and I see that they have left garbage from the bottle, I turn on and I cannot contain myself, I take out my mobile and record it.There are other topics in which I do not do it because I do not know enough and there will be many people who will read or learn from what you have said. To be called a hypocrite for speaking out, I don't care if I feel that what I have done is right.
I don't want to be an example to anyone: if I'm wrong and I disappoint you, I'm sorry
And again, Bernardeau turns to the exposure and responsibility of the actors.
The one that he was about to not have because his parents - the actress Ana Duato and the producer Miguel Ángel Bernardeau -
did not want him to dedicate himself to this profession
.
Unsuccessfully.
Why didn't they want to?
Because at that time only 4% actors lived on this and they, as good parents, thought that I had to study a career and position myself and then do interpretation.
But I said no, I started going to class and my need to express myself was satisfied because I have always been a hyperactive child who wanted to sing and get on the table and that in class with your friends you cannot do it because it is ridiculous and object of derision.
You just need to do it at the table in front of you.
"It's that I am slowly gaining confidence."
Right at the end.
