Candela Peña

is one of the most important actresses in recent Spanish cinema

(All about my mother

,

Torremolinos 73

,

Princesses

,

A gun in each hand

,

Kiki, love is made

...) and she keeps

calm

and analyzes everything what happens around him with humor.

"With everything they tell me, I look pretty and I think I should have shot for a model," he laughs, to finish with

"I look

amazing

and everything is very strong."

Still from 'The Rose Wedding'.

Do you feel that so many compliments can make you levitate? Well, with me they have hit the bone ... I am like La Concha beach.

I know perfectly when the tide is high and when it is low.

I, at low tide, have survived all my life.

When she's high I don't even have a surfboard ... (laughs) But the media have always treated her well ... I put myself on the girl I was.

And I don't want to tell the girls milongas.

I'm older than María Martillo and now they say 'Candela is breaking it down' ... But,

mery

, I did start with this at 18 in

counted days

!

How is the pot going to go now? And how do you assess all that with new chapters of

Hierro

about to be released? I know my place is.

I know that

Hierro

has taken me out of the pits.

Until now I had not done television.

What I am happy about is that my platform is going 'blessed glory' with my small contribution.

That behind this series there is a team of 400 people and the actors almost never appoint us in the companies for which we work.

I am a tool at the service of what others want to tell.

In these years you will have seen people who went up and others who stayed behind. Do you know what happens?

That we only work 8 percent of my profession.

I am very aware that I started at the age of 16 studying acting with many people who have fallen by the wayside.

And that, to this day, they are not actors, but they do work in a bank, in a herbalist, in a dance group ...

IRON: ONE ISLAND, A THOUSAND PROBLEMS

In the new chapters of

Hierro

(premiere on Movistar + on February 19)

Candela Peña

once again puts herself in the shoes of Judge Candela Montes.

A character who goes through difficulties due to the illness of his son and the appearance of a father (

Matias Varela

,

Narcos

series

) who fights with very bad arts the custody of his daughters.

As if that were not enough, Diaz (

Darío Grandinetti

), a businessman from the island of El Hierro linked to the underworld,

crosses (again) on Candela's path

.

Although Díaz is now collaborating with the judge, this guy's dark past continues to cause problems on the island.

Candela Peña plays a judge in trouble in the series 'Hierro'.

"In this second season,

the judge is still just as uncomfortable for the system.

And, although she is the same and only a few months have passed, now she is more lonely and angry about something that happened in the first season. All that sadness and grief is noticeable in his way of being ", sums up the actress about her participation in a production that has given her many joys.

"

I love my character and, above all, that she doesn't hold onto the plot thanks to a man.

I think Candela has to make us think. As a rule, boys write, produce and direct. And, within the male imagination, you you participate in that imaginary while you are healthy and beautiful for men. And,

when you stop being so, over 40, you appear angry or putated.

And the reality is that

women should appear in the scripts with a desire to live

,

calves

and with joy ".

Regarding the adjectives that some media have used to refer to her at certain times, Candela Peña asks that "

people who express their opinion are not labeled as problematic

."

And that, in the case of women, it is not said that they are "strong or are in middle age."

"I never read in the media

those adjectives applied to boys,

" says the actress.

"The press has a lot of responsibility in that sense putting labels.

I am just an actress. Period. And I have been educated by a woman who wanted me to give my opinion

because she has not been allowed to give it at home", Candela Peña qualifies .

"If at home they have let me speak, may the world not call me a problem for saying what I think. I simply give my opinion. And it is worthless. But it is mine and I do not want to be given adjectives for giving it. That

girls are questioned about many things and that something like this doesn't happen to men. "

An intervention by Candela Peña in 'La Resistencia'.

SURPRISES IN THE RESISTANCE

When talking about her hilarious appearances in

La Resistencia

, the Catalan actress is sincere: "Now I have reached many people that I did not reach before. Since I have started going to an entertainment program such as

La Resistencia

(Movistar +),

the People see my face in perplexity for being so hallucinated

with what is happening there. But it's me. It's me talking about what is being discussed at that time. I think that many people have changed their mental model and they

don't see me as' that pseudo-rancid actress'

I thought I could be. So now I've reached out to more people. "
