The last program of Planeta Calleja has had a luxury hostess who has taught Jesús Calleja the most beautiful corners of his country of origin: Colombia. The actress Laura Londoño, internationally known for her leading role in the series Café con aroma de mujer, has guided Calleja through the corners where the series was filmed and has taught her many curiosities about her homeland.
The artist has received Jesus at the farm where the fiction was recorded and where he lived during the 8 months that the filming lasted. Hectares and hectares of coffee plantations that form a beautiful landscape that the presenter will never forget. He also showed her the rooms where they lived together and talked about the audiovisual project that has led him to become an international star.
Throughout the program, Laura has had time to open up and share with Jesús what it was like to live the fictional experience that she stars in alongside William Levy. When the presenter asked her if it was true that there had been tensions between her and the actor, Londoño admitted with all the naturalness in the world that yes: “8 months go a long way.” Also, she has admitted that from 1 to 10, the actor is 25 attractive.
During the months of filming, Laura took her daughters and her husband with her, since she defines herself as a “snail” because she always carries her house on her back. Restless, funny and singing, she has not hesitated to tell Calleja how she went to live in Australia to find herself and improve her English or how she was working with Hollywood actors.
The young actress has expressed how happy she is to be able to say that Colombia is changing and that the country is no longer only known for Pablo Escobar. During the trip, which she has directed and not Jesus as usual, she has shown beautiful natural landscapes, as well as typical fauna from there such as sloths or pink dolphins.
Speaking on the personal level, Londoño has recognized that he lived a beautiful childhood, but that his upbringing was crossed by a strict mother and a liberal father who left him much more to his own devices. Now, taking stock over time, she feels very proud of the girl she was and how far she has come.
The film and series industry is difficult for women. Laura has said that she has come to work as a protagonist earning less than half that of her male co-star and has recognized that she also earns less than Levy, but that in this case she understands it because he “has succeeded in other markets” .
Jesús Calleja was very surprised when Laura confessed that in the series Sin senos hay no hay paraíso she could not enjoy the experience because the filming director wanted to have sexual relations with her: “He told me, there’s my room” and how she refused, he withdrew the word. The girl looked back and explained that she wished the 18-year-old Laura who faced that situation had the personality and tools she has now, but that those were other times and machismo was more noticeable than ever.
