This story is as if it had already been told 10 years ago.

That of a son of the Casas Sierra family who comes as a child to acting from advertising to make a place for himself in that world.

There will be those who link it to the youthful passion they raise.

There will be someone who explains it from a physicist.

And there will be those who say that they were born for this.

Today, the first, which we will call

Mario

, has a Goya Award.

The second,

Óscar

, dreams of having it.

Because between the story of Mario and Óscar Casas (Barcelona, 1998) there are many parallels beyond blood.

I see a reference as an actor and as a person and I feel admiration for him

There is no comparison on my part, he had nothing and I have my whole family and him », comments the little brother, with his first leading role in cinema with

Hollyblood

"Being the face of a movie is scary, it's a responsibility, but you end up realizing that in the end you have a team and with everyone you lead it."

Here you are a geek and misfit teenager, you don't look like you've been that kind of young man... I've always had many friends, he was a bit heavy and he made me notice.

But he was one of those who used to defend any kind of injustice and he was a bit innocent.

Then I lived the three years of finishing high school in Ireland and there I did spend a bit of that because I was more sensitive and more shy because I didn't master the language. How do you experience that change? It makes you mature, grow and understand who you are.

Although there were hard moments, I would not change it.

I think it helped me grow as a person and feel good about myself.

Those three years were a break for a boy who, at the age of eight, had already shared the screen with his brother Mario in three episodes of SMS.

“When he was 12 or 13 years old,

he had already experienced his things and my mother saw that it was not a place for growth for 16 or 17-year-olds.
She wanted to set me aside so that I could finish my studies and learn English

And then when I was of legal age I decided if I wanted to have a career or be an actor.

He chose the latter, of course.

Does being the brother of Mario Casas help or harm? Without a doubt, the help wins, thanks to him I have experienced much more protection in the profession, my path is much more padded because I have previous tools that he did not have.

Obviously being Mario's brother is there, but the public is intelligent and if you prove yourself... Has being his brother opened doors for you? No, on the contrary, that's the negative point.

They don't see you with the same eyes just because you're his brother.

Over the years it has changed, but they didn't even want to give me tests in movies before because of that.

But in the life of Óscar Casas, not only the brother is important, the entire family is.

I talk a lot about them because they have everything, getting home is being safe.

Love and happiness is nothing if it is not shared and who better than the family to do it

They are so important that your mother discards scripts. She has spent many years with Mario and has a sixth sense.

It's the basic filter, if my mother doesn't see the movie, I'm not going to make it.

My brother has done well, what she says goes to mass. And someone so familiar, how does he deal with the loss of intimacy dedicating himself to this job?

Speaking badly, it sucks.

The other day it happened to me that I went out for a drink and a girl got hooked on me and her friend started recording.

It is very uncomfortable.

That they ask me for a photo seems wonderful to me, it's part of my job, but that situation sucks.

In some moments I miss privacy for my friends and family because you lose the freedom to do what you want.

This film warns of the danger of networks, especially because of what threatens anonymity. It is that and millions of other things.

It has its good side of sharing space with people with whom you identify and who can understand your loneliness, but always see perfect bodies and lives... We are creating more insecure adolescents and with much more fear of being what they are day by day .. Toxic masculinity is also explored.

Are we deconstructing ourselves? There is a remarkable evolution in developed countries, but there is still a lot left.

We have to keep fighting because we are 20% away from the equality and respect that we should.

Especially in certain parts of the world, although Spain is better. There are still people who have a hard time in Spain as well.

I understand older people because they have been educated that way all their lives, what is hard for me is people under 30 with all the information there is.

I'm surprised there are still such primitive people.

If we have the whole world on our mobile.

There is a process of insecurities that must be broken and at least we are on the way. Why have you started with spiritual retreats? Because my last film was very intense, I realized that I needed to completely disconnect and I went on a retreat.

It was wonderful because being spiritually open is a spectacular thing. Is it a matter of mental health? Yes, and what matters is mental health, loving you.

Because if you don't love yourself, you won't be able to love or respect the rest.
