Mario Casas is celebrating. The actor has decided to temporarily put his acting career on hold to get behind the cameras and direct his first film, My Solitude Has Wings. The Spanish interpreter’s first film will hit theaters this coming Friday, August 25.

This feature film stars his brother, fellow actor Oscar Casas, and actress Candela González. Shot between Madrid and Barcelona, ??the film tells the story of three young friends who live on the edge in a humble neighborhood on the outskirts of Barcelona. In the midst of family and criminal problems, one of the protagonists hides his facet as an artist.

For this reason, the new director has been immersed in the promotion of the film during all these weeks, which is why we have been able to see him in different media outlets explaining what his experience directing a film for the first time has been like. But in the midst of all the promotion, an old video by Mario Casas has once again captivated thousands of followers on social networks.

A few days ago, the new director went to the set of Así es la vida to promote My loneliness has wings. As a result of this recent intervention on Telecinco, the chain wanted to remember once again one of Mario Casas’ first appearances on television. The actor, only ten years old, surprised all the viewers of the legendary Crónicas Marcianas program.

We go back to the year 1997, when a very young and unknown at that time Mario Casas went with his sister, Sheila Casas, to one of the most successful formats on television at that time, Crónica Marcianas, presented by Javier Sardá. The Telecinco space held debates with small viewers in which they discussed different topics.

In one of these debates was where little Mario Casas participated, who already hinted that television was great for him. When the presenter asked them what age a person was in the prime of life, the actor with a lot of self-confidence replied that he had not lived long and that he wanted to be an “optician”. ”I don’t want to have a wife,” he declared. “You come looking for me in a few years, you’ll see how I don’t have a wife,” Casas assured.
