When

(Madrid, 1999) received the role of Evelyn in

, The Mediapro Studio's series for Movistar Plus+, it was clear that her reference was in

.

A villain with the skills of a

to close her glorious year: from the seventies criminal in

to the choni mother in

, which Netflix has just released, going through her lesbian relationship with Amaia Aberasturi in

.

Make way.

How much of that

and that villain does the real Begoña have? I would like there to be much more, it's hard for me to be blunt and hard at certain times, not to think that I'm going to hurt the rest.

I would like to think more about what I want when it comes to getting things.

What he wants and has always wanted is to make a living from acting.

And until he got it he spent his childhood and adolescence listening to the word

.

.

And now, four years later, she is the one who is learning to include no in her vocabulary because of the barrage of projects.

Did you ever have the doubt to leave it and dedicate yourself to something else? Yes, but I am very stubborn and they have rejected me in so many

, that I really wanted to shut their mouths.

I knew I could do it, maybe I didn't have the talent, I hadn't developed myself or I still needed to learn, but at 15 years old I had a whole life ahead of me to learn.

If it wasn't today, it would be tomorrow or in ten years. But managing so many rejections in adolescence is not easy. it's.

I have always thought that I know better than anyone why I have come to life and I am clear that it is for this.

If I've felt it inside since I was a child, I'm going to try until I can't anymore.

I knew it was coming and it did.

What changed so that they started calling you for everything? That now we are in a moment of new faces and when I started there was the group of older actors and five or ten kids who did everything.

As they worked or liked, why would they look for another?

I understand, but in life you have to give opportunities.

And so Begoña Vargas climbed to establish herself as one of the most fashionable actresses and as a candidate to lead the new generation of interpreters in this country.

«I have not lived through that change, it has gone step by step.

Many things have started to come out, to the point that there are people who don't know what I've done, and that really makes you grow as a person and as a professional.

».

At that point where you are, don't you need to take a break? That's where I am, this summer of 2022 is for me.

I have told many people that I would love to do their project but my body, my mind and my soul need to slow down and digest what I have lived these months, ask myself where I am going, travel and meet people.

That will enrich me and I will use it professionally.

I need to nourish myself with new people and souls. Is there something generational in that stopping and learning to take care of ourselves? Whatever they say in the end, the one who knows how you are is you.

You live with your body and having the courage to say you need rest marks your career.

It is a matter of mental health, this work is wonderful, but it is physically and mentally tiring.

My own body speaks to me, I have atopic skin and when I'm stressed I get outbreaks of dermatitis, herpes and styes.

Although I think I'm calm, I still haven't digested what I've experienced.

That's why I need to rest to return with triple strength and desire.

But I also say that my hiatus won't be long, I'm hyperactive and I need a cane in my life.

In a few weeks I'm going to be calling my representative to tell him that I'm bored and I want to work. In what you haven't digested, how do you manage public and private life, that every style you wear or gesture you make be commented on? Good and wrong, but in these two and a half years I haven't had much of a private life either.

Styling is also work, it's expressing myself with fashion and I love it.

On a more personal level, I think you learn to lead.

I have never talked about my private life and I never will because that way I feel safe and protected.

If that ceases to be private, it could be a catastrophe.

One of the values ​​of Paraíso is the vindication of friendship and of the group. That is very cool.

All of us, especially younger ones, have had a group of friends who were our life.

Getting older is something else, but it's important to talk about friendship.

Not everything in life is love as a couple, this love lasts longer than that of couples. There is also the point of bullying and that the children they consider geeks are the heroes in the end. I have not been that type of geek, but I have been in my thing, which was acting.

and I suffered

This is a message for those children to know that they are not weird and being special is cool in a world where everyone behaves the same, wears the same clothes... Being yourself and not losing your personality gives you a lot in life .

did you suffer

Why did you want to be an actress? As an actress, Bego empathizes a lot with the character of Olivia [Patricia Iserte] of being a girl with a gift who is crushed because other people don't have it.

That's where kids are cruel.

At that age I did not work as an actress, but I said it openly even though my classmates and my teachers laughed at me.

I have always been clear that she was going to be an actress.

I don't know if I have talent, but the thing is that I came into the world to do this. In this eternal discussion of actors and actresses, are you one of those who revisits their work or not? I see myself, analyze myself and write down everything That's wrong.

I am the most critical person with my work, nobody is going to be more.

But I am an honest critic, when something is right I tell myself and when I see that it is a painting I tell myself so too.

You learn a lot about yourself as an actress when you see yourself. Don't you flagellate yourself?

Nope,

but I see my own things that I have done and I think that it is good that I am young and I am starting.

That's one of the things I've learned the most to get rid of weird tics or unconscious things that my body does in real life.

We don't want Bego to be seen, we want my characters to be seen. In recent months he has made a lot of claims about his lesbian relationship with Amaia Aberasturi in Bienvenidos a Edén.

Have clichés been normalized and removed? For my part, yes, and I hope that in society as well.

There are hardly any stories like this.

Yes there are homosexual male characters, but not women.

And there is also an audience that wants to be represented.

As I had my heterosexual references when I was little, I want other groups to have them now.

There will be girls of 14 or 15 years who have doubts,

do not know what they like and seeing a couple of two women makes them realize that it exists.

Maybe instead of saying it openly at 23, he says it at 15 and we save a few years from feeling bad. We are in the 21st century, enough of wanting to go back to the 12th century. Is it a question of feminizing these characters? that and normalize all situations.

Unnecessary weight is given to the sexual condition, the day there are no these questions, everything will be normalized.

But I like that people have these kinds of references and that Disney also advances.

Now she is no longer just the princess who falls in love with the prince because life is not that at all
