Úrsula Corberó: “You don't always feel like stopping to chat with people. You are not in a good mood every day either "

It is the third day that he attends to the media and in his attitude there is no trace of fatigue or reluctance. Úrsula Corberó receives with a smile from ear to ear, predisposition and the two meters of relevant distance. After two days of interviews in English, he is also playing at home today. He is in Madrid, where he lives, to present

Snake Eyes

, his latest film and the first in Hollywood, a childhood dream come true. "I was six years old and I was already saying that I wanted to be an actress and obviously the first thing you think of from the most

naive

place

when you are six years old it is that, to make a Hollywood movie.

It has been an incredible experience, I would love to continue working in the United States, but that does not mean that I do not want to work in other parts of the world ”.

Asia, Italy, France, Spain ... your wish list seems endless.

If there is one word that defines Corberó, 31, it is chameleon. The Catalan actress appears in tracksuit nets or revolutionizes them in underwear, which wears an

Asian-inspired

look

. It is not only appearance. In front of a camera, he has shown that he defends a historical character like Margarita de Austria in the

Isabel

series

as well as a villain like La Baronesa, whom he gives life in this new feature film that opens on August 13. A character for whom he prepared for a month in Vancouver, Canada, who has demanded more physically than mentally, and to whom he believes that he has contributed his own traits. “He has my energy, for example. I am a very energetic person, I think a lot, I give the

jar a

lot of turns

, I am visceral.

The Baroness, as calculating as she is, has some passion for everything she does, ”she says.

She made the leap to fame in 2008 playing Ruth in the series

Física o Química

, but in recent years the popularity of this Catalan actress has reached stratospheric heights thanks to the character of Tokyo in

La casa de papel

, a Netflix series turned phenomenon worldwide, broadcast in 190 countries.

His Instagram profile gives a good account of that resounding success.

Ursulolite

—His username— accumulates a whopping more than 21 million followers on the social network. A figure in front of which it is almost impossible not to feel some vertigo, especially when it is the same person in charge of managing the publications. “You know that anything you post is going to be questioned or sometimes you want to do something with good intentions and there are people who get hurt by some things that one does not realize. Then there are people who hurt themselves because yes, they want to put bad things on you and that's it, ”he explains. For this reason, she admits, she does not expose herself as much as she did "a few years ago", in an effort to protect her own and protect herself, although she recognizes the usefulness of these platforms. "I really like social networks and I think it is very useful to be able to give voice to your projects and the things you do, but I have times," he clarifies.

This virtual caution is also visible in the face to face. When Corberó speaks she does so slowly, sure of her words and does not hesitate to avoid a question if she feels that it could put her in trouble, for example, where does she really feel: if from Barcelona, ​​the province in which she was born; from Madrid, where he resides; from everywhere, due to his busy filming schedule and constant visits to Buenos Aires; or none. "Answer what I answer, I'm going to get into an aubergine then ... I'm from planet Earth, we're going to leave it there," he ditch. And it is that she recognizes, that although she thinks every day about how lucky she is, "they don't teach you at school to deal with that" which is fame. “I consider myself a very outgoing person and I really like to interact with people and meet new people, but it is true that as a result of

The paper house

came all at once and, I'll be honest, you don't always feel like stopping to chat with people when you leave the house.

It is a fact and it is so.

You're not in a good mood every day either. "

The premiere of the fifth season of 'La casa de papel', in which Corberó plays Tokyo, is scheduled for after the summer.

INMA FLORES / EL PAIS

In constant professional evolution, personally Corberó has maintained a stable relationship for five years with the actor Chino Darín, with whom he worked on the series

La Embajada

. He goes to him and to his surroundings, he assures, when he needs to put his feet back on the ground, and with him he went through the harsh confinement of the spring of 2020. He went to Buenos Aires to spend 10 days and stayed four months. “My boyfriend is the most earthy thing you can get in your face. I am living in the clouds, but it suits me. There are many things apart from the people that surround me who are my boy, my family, my friends ... that make me, more than going down to Earth, disconnect. I think that today is super important, we are all day with the thing there [he makes a gesture as if he is typing with the mobile phone], with the batteries on. Everything happens very fast and everything is disposable and then the new comes ”, he reflects. Among those hobbies are music and cooking.The Catalan defends herself "very well" in the kitchen when she has time, something that, she says, does not happen often.

In mid-August she will be 32 years old and she continues to see herself as “super young”, although she is often questioned about how she has been in her twenties. “It's a question that they usually ask me and that seems strange to me because I can't imagine asking a man that question: 'How have you been not 20 years old? How are you doing when you see that you are getting older? "They would never ask a man what his beauty routine is, right?" She, in essence, is still the same girl who 13 years ago played a teenager in the corridors of the Zurbarán institute. “I still have things very clear about what I want to be and how I want to be, I am still just as sensitive, I am still very sensitive,but when I watch videos from then ... I have a friend who sends me videos of

Physics or chemistry

and I think: is that me?
