She is the total actress. It is not so easy for a performer to separate themselves from the character that made them famous. Many remain forever associated – against their will and no matter how much effort they put into it – with the fictitious name with which they reached the general public. This is not the case of someone capable of making the viewer cry, laugh and disconcert like her: Carmen Machi collected her proportional share of the Ondas award this week for the series The Messiah at the same time as the movie premieres Summer in December and everyone praises the series in unison Celeste (Movistar Plus+). He has conquered the top and deserves it. With her we began the series of interviews ‘In private with…’: a character, five point-blank questions and without the ability to think beyond two or three seconds of courtesy.
Carmen Machi is a tax inspector in ‘Celeste’.
If you had a second life, what would you change or what would you do?
I couldn’t change her, I would go back to being an actress. I haven’t done anything else in my life. What’s more, have I ever thought: What if I couldn’t continue as an actress, what do I do? Nothing, I can’t think of anything.
If you could have dinner with anyone, living or dead, who would it be and what question would you ask them?
Marlon Brando, always. I couldn’t ask him anything because I would be speechless.
What’s the weirdest habit you have that you think no one else shares?
Unlike other classmates, to study scripts I need some chaos around me: music, the TV on, the radio on… I need noise.
What is your platonic love?
I could tell you Marlon Brando, but I’m going to reveal something to you: when I was young, I was 14 years old, I wrote love letters to myself and before putting them in the mailbox, I signed them as if Leif Garrett had sent them to me. I also wrote them with a red pen and I didn’t tell anyone, it was just for me. It was American and was out of reach.
What is the strangest thing you carry in your bag?
Ventolin.
