Mabel Lozano: "OnlyFans is a platform that sells pornography and ruins your life"
She has an enviable
skin color
, with a beautiful beach tan that contrasts with the cold of the unpleasant morning that has arisen in Madrid.
All of us who have gathered around him clutch our coats around our necks;
She can't, her white Ibizan cut minidress doesn't do much for her.
At some point she needs a hot tea in her hands, but in no time does she lose her broad smile.
Professional
.
It is one of the words that best defines
Elsa Pataky:
spikes could fall - the sky threatens - and she would continue serving everyone who calls for her, without a complaint.
For this reason, among other things, he is one of the most sought-after figures by brands;
With
Gioseppo
, who on this occasion has brought her to the capital to present her footwear line for the spring-summer 2024 season, she has been collaborating for almost a decade.
Are you more into stilettos, boots, sneakers or sandals?
"I am mainly into sneakers,
sneakers
. And I love the ones from this brand; first because they have a wedge, which is great for me, and second, because they are very
modern
, very trendy and, most importantly, very comfortable, the ones that more," he tells me while assuring me that he uses them a lot, "I try others, but I always end up with these."
Today has been, like almost all the ones he has done lately, an
express trip.
"I don't care about the
distance
; if I have to come to work I do it, but only for two days, because my children stay there, at home, asking me: 'When are you coming? Why are you leaving?' "I don't mind beating myself up, I've done incredible crazy
things
just to be with them as long as possible."
But no matter how much the head rules, the body suffers the consequences of almost 24 hours on a plane, and although I look for it, I can't find even a trace of
jet lag in it.
How do you manage to cross the world like this, including going from the warmth to this cold, and not let it show?
"I've gotten
used to
it (laughs, always laughs). The trip is long, but my body already knows what awaits it, right? I get used to it from the beginning, the days before flying I start changing schedules and try to
sleep
with "Spanish time, so that when I get here it won't be a
shock
. I also hydrate a lot, both my skin, with my favorite creams, and by drinking a lot of water.
Hydration
is very important, inside and out, especially when you are traveling." .
GTRES
Model, actress, producer, journalist... which of your many facets do you prefer? What I like most is acting and being a mother.
It's what I want to focus on, looking for projects that fulfill me and that are special enough for me to consider leaving my family and children for a while, which is the part that has had me most obsessed in recent years.
You speak as if you already have one of those projects in hand...Well, there is a very nice one that I am preparing... And I have also created a production company with another Spanish girl whose husband is also Australian.
We are working on some very beautiful projects, looking for Spanish stories, from books from here, that we can produce and create so that they are ours from beginning to end. Does that search make you ever consider returning to Spain?
I like to spend time here, but where I live is already in Australia;
I have become accustomed to that lifestyle, to being in contact with nature, I don't know if I could live in a city.
Neither do my children, they have grown up there and that is what they have seen.
But I always like to come back and let the children soak up Spanish culture. What personal moment are you in? No, I could tell you... All phases of life are beautiful and in some you have many challenges.
I have always been very positive;
I have had ups and downs, of course, but each one teaches you something.
I am quite calm, I have done many of the things I have wanted and now perhaps I am more open to professional projects, because my children are getting older and I have more time.
I am in that most creative phase of starting projects from scratch and that fulfill me, that I enjoy them, because this is the most important thing for me, enjoying everyday life and having quality of life. Right now you are a guru of healthy living and of physical exercise.
What is the secret to staying this great? Learn to eat and eat good foods.
It is important to change your lifestyle and know what you eat, what is good for you, because each one of us is different, you have to know your body and what works for you.
It is also important to take vitamins, vegetables and fruits, combine everything a little.
And in my case, avoid sugar, don't abuse it, although on the weekends you can give yourself some luxuries and enjoy a little of the things you like, because we all love sweets.
Then I make up for it with sports.
I do it almost every day, because the most important antiaging is to create muscle.
I have always liked to train, but now more than ever, with age, I think it is more and more important to continue practicing sports, moving a lot, and above all lifting weights.
It keeps me very well physically and mentally, because of the endorphins.
As soon as I don't do sports, my body feels it, my joints and neck start to hurt... It's part of my daily life, a different philosophy of life.
It's not about getting in shape because summer is coming, sport should be part of your life.
Which of the plans that currently have the most pull as guarantors of a long and healthy life do you stick with: intermittent fasting, the Keto diet, calorie restriction...? I with fasting.
Normally I try to go from six or seven in the evening until the morning without drinking anything.
And I watch what I eat, I take shakes, supplements... they help a lot and we know them better every time.
But everyone has to try it on their own body, just because something is fashionable doesn't mean it's good for you.
I get a check-up and I know the vitamins and what I need at each stage, because not all of them are the same. How has motherhood changed you? It has changed my life completely.
I thought it wasn't going to happen, that I would have a child and I would continue working and doing the same thing... And suddenly... everything changes, your children depend on you and you depend on them.
It also generates a feeling of responsibility and guilt that I did not know until now.
It doesn't help much, but it's true that all mothers have it.
I wish we could free ourselves from it;
It is something that makes us be there with them, protect them and leave many other things behind, sacrifice them.
We are willing to do it, but you have to know that that is what is going to change, and no one tells you, so it surprises you.
I have sacrificed my career, but it is something I am very proud of.
It is a decision that I made and that I have been able to afford financially.
You are sad to leave certain things behind, but I will have that happiness, that pride and those memories forever. You are approaching 50, does the change of decade make you dizzy? Does it scare you? Decades always make you dizzy, but now Women increasingly feel better about themselves.
I do believe that 50 today is the 40 years ago.
The number scares me a little, it's what scares me the most, but as for how I feel, I'm calm.
You evolve, you get used to wrinkles, one more every year (laughs) since you are not as agile.
Maybe that part is the one that scares me the most, not being able to do everything I do now with my children, because I am very athletic.
A fall, an injury, you don't recover the same... But since there is nothing to do, it's time to take care of yourself. Do you agree with the idea that at 50 women become invisible? No, on the contrary, women gain a lot with age, because you have a confidence in yourself that you don't have at 20 years old.
You have lived a lot, you know what you want and what you don't, and that gives you security and an inner beauty that must be taken advantage of.
Thinking that we become invisible is a very negative way of looking at birthdays. So do you think the time has come for middle-aged ladies? Yes.
Furthermore, here in Spain I see more and more wonderful older women, dressed very modern, saying here I am.
I think it's wonderful, we take better care of ourselves and we know how to maintain ourselves better.
Over the years you are no longer so ambitious at work, you care more about enjoying your hobbies,
The family and children have grown... It is time to recognize yourself, to look for yourself and to be happy with yourself.
You can see that in older women, you can see a different tranquility. On your networks you have posted several filters of yourself as an older person, how do you see yourself when that moment arrives? For me it has been very shocking to see myself like this, it impressed me a lot.
We change little by little, day by day, and that allows us to assimilate our new image.
But of course, from seeing you without wrinkles, or with those typical of my age, to seeing you at 80... I was surprised and scared.
Although at the end of the day, you grow older with the people around you and the same thing is happening to everyone.
As long as you don't try to compare yourself to 20-year-old girls... There is still no magic pill, but we have made a lot of progress, there are women in their 70s or 80s who look great.
That's what you have to aim for.
And be positive: we will also have the wisdom of life and memories. And at that moment do you see yourself with Chris? Hopefully.
When you get older it is nice to be accompanied and have by your side someone who has been your partner throughout your life, but you never know what can happen.
I have always seen myself there with him, the dream of growing old together is so beautiful... you already know each other and you know both the good things and the bad, and the nice thing is taking care of each other.
