Album 'When leaving class', 20 years later: this is how its protagonists have changed
What happened to... The anonymous life of Mariano Alameda, the protagonist of 'When leaving class', between books and yoga classes
It has been 20 years since the mythical series
Leaving class
put an
end to its broadcast.
The group of teenagers who attended the 7 Robles institute had to separate after
recording 1,200 chapters
and unimaginable
audience ratings
for the time.
A project that left a very promising future for some of its
actors
, who are currently
succeeding
in film, television, theater or art in general.
This is the case of
Mariano Alameda,
one of the star characters of the youth series who,
far from acting,
has decided to bet on yoga, spirituality and literature.

On the occasion of his new book, entitled
The teachings of the Zen dog
, the one who was
Íñigo Vidal
in fiction has told Formula TV how he had to deal with the weight of fame.
"At first like: 'How curious that this is happening to me'; later like:
'Holy shit how heavy';
and then
'where do I hide
so that these people don't look at me'", he has been honest.
And it is that, for Alameda, being famous and the cover of all the magazines had its bad side too: "It is true that it has advantages, but it
has terrible drawbacks.
People do not treat you naturally, they pretend that they do not care to be talking to you It's a horrible thing.
You lose your freedom,
the freedom to go through the world as a human.

The one who was one of the best-known faces of youth fiction has confessed that the
boom
in the series
with social networks would have been "a tragedy",
so it is very likely that he would have stopped acting many years earlier.
In addition, with the sincerity that characterizes him so much, Alameda has communicated that not everything was a bed of roses:
"I got the pincer going
with the
boom
of
When I leave class
, but
less than others"
.
However, despite seeing the negative side of fame, the actor and now writer
does not regret it .
of having been part of that phenomenon: "What is good prevails in memory and experience, but there comes a time when you don't want to pay the price for that which is so good".

After dropping
out of school
, Mariano continued in the world of acting, reaping enormous success with his role in the telenovela
La Verdad de Laura
or as Mauri's boyfriend in
Aquí no hay qué viva
, but he soon realized that this life it wasn't for him.
"I don't think I'll act again,"
he has sentenced.
His last appearance on the small screen was in 2009 and, since then, he has decided to take a completely different path and take charge of his future, starting by dedicating an emotional story to Zen, the life partner he
recently lost
and who It taught him so many things about life.
