Miguel Ángel Silvestre has stripped inside and out for Esquire in a very personal interview. The actor has always stood out for his beauty and humility, two qualities that do not usually go hand in hand, which has made him one of the favorites on the Spanish audiovisual scene.
The man from Valencia has not only posed as God brought him into the world, he has also been most sincere in relation to his personal life. “I am very traditional and very conservative for some things of love,” Silvestre confessed when asked about his concept of family.
Miguel Ángel assures that his most personal project has been Death Row, the miniseries in which he gave life to Pablo Ibar, the prisoner of Basque roots sentenced to life imprisonment for murders he allegedly did not commit. “There was a greater responsibility to honor his situation that had me more naked, vulnerable,” he explains.
The actor is passionate about his homeland, to which he returns whenever he can. “I feel very proud of my land, of my culture. The personality of the Valencian has something of the gardener; it is beautiful, humble and noble. I have been a nomad for many years, but I think that one ends up going where love is”, he confesses Wild.
The truth is that Miguel Ángel has chained one project after another, his latest series being one of the most popular. Sky Rojo has become one of the great fictional successes of the Netflix platform.
“I have an aunt who is a lesbian and I grew up seeing how she stood up for her rights. I had a good education in that sense,” says Silvestre in relation to the tolerance in which he was educated from a very young age. Regarding the secret of happiness, the actor comments that “it is intrinsic to the human being to want to maintain control, but I think that when you manage to lose it you are happier.”
The journalist asks him about what it feels like to be the object of desire and, with the modesty that characterizes him, Miguel Ángel assures that he feels “more scared than maybe you can see.” The actor adds that “we are the childhood that we have lived. When you, due to the wounds you may have, have never placed yourself there, you do not feel that you are what others can see.”
