On Friday afternoon, the program presented by Sonsoles Ónega, And Now Sonsoles, interviewed live Pino Montesdeoca, the 61-year-old Spanish model and actress who has become a reference on catwalks around the world. The guest turned her life around when she turned 50 after overcoming a serious illness.
Since then, the model has boasted natural beauty. She has no qualms about showing off the passage of time, with her wrinkles or her white hair, since her goal is to break down all the prejudices and stereotypes of society.
The guest said at the beginning of the interview that she entered this world through advertising. ”I did photo shoots and then some designer started to like me. That’s how I started doing fashion. And now I also play some roles as an actress,’ she said.
The cause of her role as a model was her daughter’s husband, who sent some photos of her to a modeling agency. ”I don’t know why they noticed me, I can speculate. I think what caught their attention about me was that I claim the naturalness and strength of the women of my generation,’ she confessed. Furthermore, the model expressed that the world of modeling was advancing, giving opportunities to those who claim the beauty of imperfections. ”There is the option to do whatever you want to yourself and the option of not doing anything to you. But it seems that the option of doing nothing was more hidden,’ she pointed out.
”So, is yours genetics? You have wonderful skin, you have not had any touch-ups and you are a beautiful woman. Give us your secrets,” the presenter told her. The model considered herself a ”normal woman”, but she confessed that the secret of her beauty was in her way of being. “I’m a very active person, more or less, I like to be a mountebank.” All that counts. Regarding the skin, my mother had good skin. But for the rest nothing more. “I’m not even tall,” she said.
Moments later, the evening space team surprised the model with images that showed what she would look like if she had decided to have a touch-up done. ”It’s the same, you don’t have to do anything because the retouched and the unretouched are the same,” said Sonsoles Ónega. ”Look, there are no wrinkles or grooves in the retouching, but if you look at it it doesn’t matter if you have them,” the model asserted.
