Alexandra Jiménez is one of the most popular actresses in our country. The 44-year-old from Zaragoza, who has been in the world of acting for more than two decades, became known thanks to the legendary Telecinco series Los Serrano, where she gave life to the unforgettable África Sanz. Since then, the performer has been involved in various audiovisual projects both on the small screen and in cinema.
One of his latest projects is Menudas Pieces, the new film by Nacho G. Velilla, which premiered on April 12 and tells “a story of improvement inspired by a real case with chess as a backdrop.” The film, produced by Telecinco Cinema, stars Alexandra Jiménez and other actors of the stature of María Adánez, Francesc Orella, Luis Callejo and Alain Hernández.
Recently, the Los Serrano actress participated in a talk with students from the TAI, the Spanish university school of arts, located in Madrid. During her speech at the university center, Alexandra Jiménez spoke honestly about the new generation of actors and gave some advice for facing the long work days on set.
”I think it is essential to know the text and have it very integrated because otherwise you can’t play in rehearsals, you can’t play what it asks of you, you can’t experiment,” he began by saying.
For this reason, the actress assured that not knowing the text was synonymous with “throwing the essay in the trash.” ”Because instead of incorporating all that information, what you are doing is learning it,” she explained. However, Alexandra Jiménez confessed that the new fashion among young people today was “not to learn it.”
”People say ‘no, I’m just burning it.” What are you going to burn, you don’t burn anything, you learn it. Learn it and then investigate the two million different ways you can say it. It’s not going to burn, the possibilities are endless. You have to work and have the discipline of an elite athlete. That’s my recommendation, so that makes a lot of difference and it shows,” he concluded.
