Paz Vega: "Life has often taken me out of my comfort zone and here I am, whole, without going crazy"

's energy

is vigorous.

While you're talking to her, you feel that energy, even when the actress stays quiet, concentrating on what you're asking her.

She brings intensity, genuine emotion to her memories and opinions of her, which she delivers with a generosity rare among the new generation of actors.

Good luck for me.

We have met on the occasion of the premiere of the sequel to the family film hit 'A todo tren', which this time is subtitled 'Yes, it has happened to them again', and which, unlike its predecessor, focuses comedy on the mothers of missing children, not their fathers.

Paz Vega is one of them;

the other.

Although

co-signs the script, this time he is not directing, but has left the matter in the hands of

Even timidly extrapolating the results of the first, he "reeks" of

Paz Vega recounts that

convinced her without much hassle to make the film and that with the director there was "love at first sight."

Honey on the flakes to tackle a shoot that he describes as hard, «in Madrid in summer, in the middle of a heat wave, in the middle of a wave of covid.

And also, as it had a 'road movie' format, every day you had to go to a different location, Toledo, Segovia, Murcia... But hey, it's part of the job, it's assumed».

I imagine that with children it becomes more complicated. It depends on the children... And on the parents of the children.

But in this case, the actress clarifies, both parents and children were all "ideal." And she adds: "I can especially talk about Hugo [Simón], who is the one I have worked with the most.

Without being an actor, he is so professional! ».

You can't see Paz Vega, after

tired or fed up or bored with this mess that is the cinema or with the thousands of kilometers that she does every year up the planet, down the planet, from filming to filming and from event to event.

Sometimes, in fact, she exudes an enthusiasm that seems brand new, shiny, with no chips or scratches.

«Don't tell me that this industry is not wonderful where people who do not know each other suddenly start living together for six weeks for 15, 20 hours a day and end up becoming a kind of family.

I love this profession, but above all for what is generated on the set.

All that energy, that work of so many people for months that converges at the moment when they say 'action!'.

It seems to me that it is the greatest teamwork in the world.

Really, as the actors say, friendships come out of the filming forever, aren't they ephemeral bubbles of affection? Of course not!

You make a film with a person, you don't see him again for a long time and suddenly he calls you and says: "Hey, I'm in Madrid" and you say "what?"

It's like time hasn't passed.

Friendships made on set are forever.

Paz Vega's new series on Netflix with Riddley Scott

Just around the corner, on January 1 on Netflix, waiting with a hangover for the premiere of 'Kaleidoscope', a series co-produced by

that is among his best experiences, he says.

Filmed for a year in New York, it is a daring bet on the part of the streaming platform for its innovative format: «Eight chapters without a pre-established order.

Each one is a color and the spectator chooses which one to see at each moment.

But you need to watch the whole series to understand it."

And speaking of Netflix, I have to tell you that the fact that it canceled The OA series at the end of the second season seemed fatal to me.

It left us fans without knowing, among other things, what happened to Renata, the guitarist you brought to life... The truth is that, although these are decisions that must be respected, we did not expect Netflix to cancel the series, when in addition had planned a brutal third season. Oh! Ya.

Who knows, maybe in a few years it will pick up again.

Because they [Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, creators of the series], are still there, doing another great series [Retreat], which they actually invited me to participate in.

But I couldn't, a pity.

Paz Vega does not agree with the repeated axiom, which is again so fashionable, that nothing great can be born if you do not leave your

if you do not demand more and more every day, although she herself is an example of constant adaptation.

«If you do your job well and you are comfortable with yourself in your comfort zone, well, olé you, what luck, what wonder.

But in my case, throughout my life I have been encountering situations that have constantly taken me out of that comfort zone.

And I said to myself: what do I do?

Do I take this train or leave it?

I have taken it over and over again and here I am, whole, without having gone crazy.

And at what station is it time to get off now? I feel the need to get behind the camera.

So I'm working on it, developing ideas to produce, to direct... Is it a need that arises naturally after spending a lot of time on one side of the camera? In my case, I've been feeling for years that I have a particular gaze towards things, and that I would like to be able to show it.

I see it when I'm on set, where I always end up editing my own film in my head: how would I edit it, where would I put the camera in this scene, what lens would I use... Most of the time what I think doesn't coincide with what the director thinks and that generates a kind of anxiety in me, so I say to myself: "Well, I'll have to direct it myself."

And that's where I am. And the icing on the cake: a personal question.

Your three children are 12, 13 and 15 years old.

Two and a half teenagers at home.

How are you doing? How can I.

Being a parent today is much more difficult than before.

I think we had another adolescence, luckily.

Of course with its dark areas, like all times of life.

Now it is that plus all that virtual world that is a monster that takes up more and more space and that scares me a lot.

I also have to say that, at the moment, I have three very good children.

The 15-year-old is very calm, very noble.

The girl is fun, she likes her friends.

And the little one is still thinking about his sports.

I haven't faced big dilemmas yet.

But we see them coming.
