• Controversy Jorge Sanz, on his economic situation: "Antonio Resines and Santiago Segura have been supporting me for two years"

Jorge Sanz

(51) is a privileged person.

But also a flâneur, as his friends call him.

And a pillbox, as another calls it, because it always gives each person the pill of the color they need (a smile, a hug, the right words).

Although sometimes he is a

mouthful

because in recent days it has been a trend to comment that Santiago Segura and Antonio Resines have supported him for two years.

It is true?

Exclusively for LOC, the former child prodigy clears up misunderstandings.

The one that has bundled in Come and have dinner with me Gourmet edition! I don't even want to see it because I get nervous about the issues of the heart.

What I tried was to thank Santiago Segura and Antonio Resines who, as friends, would give me a hand when I needed it.

I have had some screwed up situation, they have saved my ass, but I do not live on charity or from them.

Well, it says something like that they have supported you for two years ... I owe them small amounts of money that they left me at specific moments, but when I tried to say how nice they are, it went wrong.

Everything has been interpreted as that I live on charity, but I am better than ever.

In fact, I am starting a great stage because I have been given a mask and a great look.

Physically I feel very well, I have gone from being a child prodigy to an interesting mature man and there is a target that I have to satisfy.

Are you going through a critical situation?

As far as possible, I'm fine.

I am happy, I live with my wife and three children and eight years ago I sponsored a Chinese boy that I met in a foster home in Mallorca, whom his father enslaved and who travels many times with us on vacation.

My house is paid for and at certain specific moments I have spent whores like everyone else.

Throughout life you have to adapt and I have learned to do it.

With the power that Santiago Segura has as a producer, he could make a hole for him.

There is a basic rule in the cinema and it is that, if you start to give in according to what kinds of things, in the end you do not make the film you want.

I'm going to have a small role in Segura's next film shortly, but he's not producing it, because if he did, he could get the money back (smiles).

What is your main source of income?

Can you live on copyright and image rights?

David Trueba has also called me to play a great mature character and in a few months I will do theater with Andoni Ferreño and Alberto Closas.

I collaborate with the design of Red Series Motorcycles Boots.

With regard to the rights, you charge your money, but in Spain it costs more, since sometimes the income is higher in France.

If I was in a critical situation there is a fund for actors who are not working or are sick, and I have not resorted to it.

As a member of the cultural sector that has been so damaged by the pandemic, what do you think of the government's management?

As society is polarized, I prefer to keep my opinion.

Obviously I have my position, but it's all so mixed up that if you say something then they can use it against you.

And that is indeed a scandal.

I would love to be able to talk about territorial policy, but it is better not to do it publicly.

Regarding her appearance, she is on the same wavelength as Geraldine Chaplin, so proud of her wrinkles because she wants to play real grandmother roles.

He has sucked the cinema since he was born.

Note that his father was the great Charles Chaplin.

Geraldine is a very intelligent and interesting woman.

What is sought now is effectiveness and personality to be able to connect with people.

And that is a blessing.

His beginnings as an actor were by chance, why?

In the last casting of my first film

(Honey,

1979) they told me to go home.

Coming out through the portal, Amelia de la Torre entered and when she stared at me, she commented to the team: "Have you done camera tests?"

"What did you say to him?"

And they answered that they would call me.

But I came back, they made me smoke when I was nine and I made the movie.

What is destiny.

Life is a continuous crossroads.

Did you continue with your studies at the same time?

(Laughter) Yes, in fact, I went to Colegio del Pilar, which was quite demanding and when I got to university I enrolled in Fine Arts.

But I only have the income form.

I was jumping from one set to another and I had to quit.

With more than 100 films, do you miss that magical era of the origins?

How am I going to be anchored in the past if I love the present and since the future does not exist, it is exciting to have to invent it.

But he was one of the most famous interpreters ... Fernando Fernán Gómez used to say that fame in this country lasts five years.

You have to learn not to go after it, to be rediscovered and to continue with a consistent attitude.

Verónica Forqué directed me because when you are young, fame overtakes you and you don't know how to handle it and she told me that people are great and to treat everyone as if they were my second cousins.

With familiarity.

The Trueba family has also marked him.

During the filming of

The Year of Lights

(1986), which was my first experience outdoors, Fernando and Cristina, his wife, taught me that whoever succeeds is someone who loves a profession that is oriented to the public.

They made me love this artisan trade, they take great care of the people they work with and when the filming is over they still worry about how they are doing.

What does that Goya of Honor think to Ángela Molina?

Together with Verónica Forqué, who one day will end up falling for her, I can't think of a better actress to whom to acknowledge her career.

The people of the trade love her very much, she has never felt superior to anyone, she knows how to listen ... Her family is very affectionate.

Susan Sarandon once told me that now they usually hire actors based on the number of followers on social media.

Aren't you sorry that it happens?

Producers are not stupid, they want to make money and have people see their movies.

Therefore, hiring the most popular is the best option.

Anyway, it is something they have always done, which is why the caches fluctuate so much.

There we have Ester Exposito, who has gone from having 3,000 followers on Instagram to 26.4 million after the success of 'Elite'.

Times change so fast that you have to know how to adapt, and our work and financing model goes through there.

Everything has been globalized, but the root phenomenon is the same, there are people who are good and others who are not.

That is why politicians are so afraid of actors and musicians, because they really influence people.

He lives in the middle of the Guadarrama Park and when he goes to Madrid he takes the train.

What happens in those wagons when they recognize you?

People are great, maybe it's due to the image I've given.

They tend to look at me from a distance, give me a thumbs up, wink at me and some come over to thank me for the good times I have given them.

And that's when my soul falls to my feet.

How nice it is to make people happy!

Therein lies the magic of cinema.

And that's when you say: "Gentlemen, what a great opportunity life has given me."

My father was very reactionary because I began to uncover and at that time say that you were dedicated to show business well, you know ... But my father asked: "Is the child good? Does he like it?"

The answers were affirmative and he said: "In life you have to try to dedicate yourself to what you are passionate about."

He looks serene with his wife, Aurelie, when did you meet her?

A year after I separated from Paloma, and we've already been together 14.

And five years ago we decided to get married.

She is a wonderful Franco-Portuguese.

I have led a very hectic life, I would not change a comma of my life because it is what has brought me here and I have the immense fortune to live where and how I want.

In fact, he takes care of a garden, baby geese, chickens ... And I have sturgeons! It seems that he already has a successor in the family.

My 18-year-old son Merlin is already working as a stuntman because he thinks that actors are squishies (smiles).

He already jumps from 28 meters high, rides a horse and catches fire sitting on a chair, which is tremendously difficult because it requires self-control and knowing how to breathe.

It is a beast.
