José Coronado, one of the most famous actors in our country, has let his hair down in a recent interview on the program La Roca. Beyond the glamor and the spotlight, Coronado wanted to talk about the other side of the coin: how hard it can sometimes be to always be under public scrutiny. The reason for his visit to the program was to promote his new film Close Your Eyes, but what really caught the attention was his reflection on what his life would be like if he were not a film and television star.
The film in question, directed by Víctor Erice, talks about characters that disappear, about lives that take an unexpected turn. It seems that this topic struck a chord with Coronado, who confessed that his character in the film, a missing actor, is not very different from how he has felt at times. “At 22 years old, the director starts looking for him and it is not known if he committed suicide or what happened to him,” he said of his role in the film.
This plot raises an interesting question: who hasn’t dreamed of leaving everything and starting from scratch? Coronado put it in simple words: “Sometimes I say, if I were anonymous and if I didn’t have so much trouble, so much success, if I could just be putting beers in a beach bar in New Zealand.” That is, from starring in movies to being a quiet innkeeper at the end of the world.
The famous actor’s statements make a lot of sense today. These days, precisely, Coronado would have liked to be a completely anonymous person after having been the protagonist of an interview in El Español whose headlines have raised blisters.
When asked if he was on the side of Luis Rubiales or Irene Montero, two quite polarizing public figures, Coronado said that he was not with either of them. “I am a rebel against the Rubiales and the Irenes Monteros,” he said. In addition, he assured that he wanted to continue having the possibility of continuing to highlight the physical characteristics of women as he had always done.
These comments have caused the actor to receive numerous criticisms for his way of thinking. From macho to Cro-Magnon. For this reason, as he has confessed in The Rock, he occasionally dreams about what his life would be like in completely different circumstances.
