A few months ago no one would have imagined it, but in a matter of weeks we will see Mario Vaquerizo in the shoes of Sor Juanita, the protagonist of The Queen of the Convent, a film, written and directed by Carmen Perona, which has become the greatest challenge of his career to date.
It must be said that the artist will not be alone, as he has the help of co-stars of the stature of Gemma Cuervo, Isabel Ordaz or Javier Gutiérrez. A role that many might think took him a lot to prepare, but what many do not know is that the artist has always kept that spiritual and religious side very present.
This is what the actor himself reveals in an interview for Pronto magazine, where he explains that, although people may not believe it, he is someone very devoted. That is precisely what he was most confident about accepting the role when he was offered the opportunity.
“I am a believer and every night I pray for health to all the people I love and know,” confesses Alaska’s husband, revealing that he also goes to mass “whenever I can.” “Communing makes me feel peace,” she says. The artist assures that he has “a very developed spiritual side”, and that it is precisely this facet of his that saves his life; his Christian faith, in love, friendship and family.
In The Queen of the Convent, the actor promises to surprise as Juanita, a woman who, after finding herself alone and stagnant after the death of her parents, feels the desire to be a nun and decides to enroll in a convent. When she arrives, Juanita manages to stay because she discovers the nuns with a dead priest, and they buy her silence. There he will meet a peculiar group of nuns with whom he will live countless adventures in the convent and in which, in addition, he will discover a totally unknown side, because they smoke joints, have secret corners, pray singing to Ángeles Toledano, watch football and are Sevillistas, among many anecdotes.
