Javier Rey, protagonist of Lies: "Spain lives in enormous mental poverty because we no longer know how to have a healthy debate about anything"

• TV Mentiras: This is the new Antena 3 series that has starred in the best premiere of the season

Perhaps the face and name of

(Noia, A Coruña, 1980) ring a bell for you.

They will think of Sito Miñanco and

in Mateo and

or it may be one of the 16 projects (and one in the works) that he has had in the last 15 years on television.

More than one a year.

"Take it now, I hadn't done those accounts, what a barbarity," he is surprised on the other end of the phone, letting out his Galician accent.

Now it has just premiered on Antena 3

(every Wednesday at 10:40 p.m.)

the adaptation of the British success

the story of an alleged rape and all

and that its protagonist decided not to see before filming .

Why not see it? Now yes, my paranoia was not to see it in the creation process because I didn't want it to condition me, I was afraid that if I saw something from the other actor, maybe my head would unconsciously pull through a similar territory. Is it true that we all have something to hide? Yes, without a doubt, and everyone lies. I'm not saying we all have 36 dead bodies in the yard, but you lie when you're late for work and the first thing you say is that there was too much traffic. That is lying and we all do it daily.

The one who doesn't lie is Javier Rey when it comes to navigating a delicate terrain like the one dealing with

-a possible rape- and the repercussions that this generates in society.

"Public trials, not only in these cases, happen every two to three without there being a judicial process as such and you have to be very brave to tell this story without taking a position."

The networks have turned us into judges without knowing anything about Justice

Why not position yourself? You probably feel like it, but I think the debate is generated when you put all the points of view and don't tell the viewer what to think, the series goes further. Many times if you read a piece of news, you position yourself without having been there and publicly judge people who should not be judged. Is the public trial ahead of Justice? There are probably people who think that other people have committed a crime and in the end it is not like that, but I imagine that the curiosity is always there. But the role of Justice is always quite in question In these cases, lately, in the end, Justice is also the human beings who are behind and make decisions based on the laws, but also on impulses from the past of each one that take you to certain places or sensitivities.They are very complex issues and the good thing about the series is being able to see the greatest possible face of the issue. Is there too much polarization in Spain to address these debates? Today in Spain it is very difficult to have a healthy debate about anything to improve things, we live in enormous mental poverty, we have become to be with me or against me. Now you are my friend if you think like me and my enemy if you don't think like me. And as a public figure, isn't constant criticism of every word exhausting? In the end, I make fiction with what criticism I can receive is based on my characters and those, both when they praise me and when they hit me, I don't care, they go in salary. In the end, I would be glad if, beyond my work, the debate was generated by the issues we raised: rapes, public trials, it's not no... and that a healthy debate is opened on this,but I see it complicated. Have the networks built a world of lies? Totally and they can ruin your life they can ruin your life because they have turned us into judges without knowing anything about Justice. They also cause a distance for people to give their opinion from very aggressive sites. How is that controlled? I have no idea, my relationship with the networks is work-related and quite healthy, but I start from having been born in an analog world that has become digital. I imagine that the debate with people who have been raised in the digital world and mental health is something that should be done. Well, the debate on mental health in general is something that as a society is very good for us. Now we are addressing it, it seems Yes, and it has to go much further. We're just normalizing talking about it and laying the foundation stones,But there is still a lot to learn about mental health, such as normalizing that people go to therapy, not demonizing those who may have a mental illness, the labor intrusiveness that exists within the sector. Much remains to be done, but it is very interesting to begin to raise it.

My great paranoia as an actor is to see myself at 85 years old playing characters that I have never done

Does lying look the same with the eyes of a woman than with those of a man? I don't know, we've tried. There will be many women who feel that Xavier is innocent and many men will position themselves next to her character and they will change. The world of fake news is also addressed. It is the order of the day, we already come to doubt any information we have and there are so many that it is impossible to deny them all. This world is terrible and a little sad, but it is real, they exist. What is life like after Fariña's mega-success? Mine as a very healthy actor, I have the opportunity to work and continue developing. The summary is that I feel lucky, but even before

or

It is true that work volumes have changed, but I have always tried to be in control of my career and make decisions to have as diverse a career as possible.

That is my great paranoia, I want to see myself at 85 years old trying to do characters that I have not done, not to repeat myself. Who was going to tell someone who wanted to be a cyclist instead of an actor? thing.

The good thing about not having been a cyclist is that now I would be retired and I still have a long career ahead of me as an actor.

In the end, by chance, things fall in front of you that change your life.

In my case, without artistic background of any kind in my house, I have found something that I am passionate about and makes me happy
