Although she still retains her male name, Gonzalo, everyone knows her as Costa.
He is 40 years old and is a panelist in
Cortá por Lozano,
Telefé.
He also "does the second" to Santiago del Moro at
El Club del Moro
(FM 100).
In parallel, he is on tour with his show
De Costa a Costa
, with which he will perform in Gualeguaychú this Sunday and then continue his tour of Quilmes, Ramallo and Pergamino.
Amid so much movement, he answered the VIVA questionnaire.
1
-What super power would you have?
-
I would like to read the mind of the other because I am half paranoid and I think that they are always speaking or thinking badly of me.
And another: when someone does something bad, I would like to look at it and melt it.
2
-A knock?
-I don't have, I'm not obsessive.
Put that when putting on makeup, the first thing I need to put on is the foundation.
But it is procedure, not a knock.
I can't do my eye makeup first and then my face, like makeup artists do.

-A memory of your native Córdoba?
-My childhood in Río Tercero ... The streets were made of dirt and in the afternoon a watering truck passed by.
I remember that smell of wet earth and that blessing of that beautiful place.
4
-A phobia?
-To the pigeons.
Before, all the bugs that had feathers gave me a phobia.
Later, when I started in the theater and more in the magazine, it left me.
But I am terrified of pigeons and chickens ...
I name them and it makes me sick!
I am very faithful, very loyal and very righteous.
By taking sides for the other, sometimes I end up playing battles that are not mine.

-A defect and a virtue?
-Maybe my greatest defect is my greatest virtue:
I am very faithful, very loyal and very fair
.
By taking sides for the other, sometimes I end up playing battles that are not mine.
6
- The most difficult moment of your life?
-Two.
The first, without a doubt, was
when I stayed on the street.
I lived in a boarding house in Buenos Aires, until I couldn't pay any more
.
On the other hand, it was also difficult when I decided to start the procedures to have the gastric bypass, which happened in 2017. I have been in recovery since then.

-How did you experience the sanction of the trans labor quota law?
-With great joy on the one hand and, on the other, with great pain.
While the trans labor quota law was being enacted, Tehuel disappeared.
And he's still missing to this day.
Do you know why Tehuel disappeared?
Because he's a trans kid who didn't have job opportunities and then he went to mess with those horrible people and we still don't know where he is.
8
-What other rights of the LGBTI collective do we need to rethink?
-Full access to work and health rights.
There are many people who are still excluded, especially the population of trans men.
And we must finally remove the word sex from the document!
I am not an X, I am not an F or an M;
my gender is something else.
Typecasting should be punishable by law and so many explanations have to be given: I am Costa, nothing more than that matters
.
And it would also be barbaric if there is more respect for the gender identity law since there are still jokes and things that are done and that should not be done.

-What did you work on before being an actress?
-I did everything!
I was a street vendor of watches, lighters, taxi seats, and gold-plated chains, among other things.
I was also in a well-known fast food house, I was an embroiderer and assistant in a hairdresser.
And I was a telemarketer.
I was doing very, very well in all of them.
Costa does radio, TV and goes on tour with his show.
10
-Your favorite soap opera scene?
-I remember a scene from
Celeste,
with Andrea del Boca.
Celeste worked as a maid and did not know that her biological father lived there.
He had his son Franco, played by Gustavo Bermúdez.
He wasn't really her son, but no one knew.
And Celeste, who was with Franco, got pregnant.
One day an extortionist came to the house and grabbed the father, who was Rodolfo Machado, and said: "Have you already told Celeste that he is her father?"
She heard everything behind the door and clutched her belly!
It was crazy.
After the whole novel was tortured thinking that she was expecting a child from her brother!
eleven
-If you weren't an actress, what would you like to have been?
-Now that I returned to study and that I am doing the Bachelor's Degree in Social Communication, I realized that
I would like to be a teacher.
I like to share my knowledge.
12
Your idols?
-My idol is the Virgin of Lourdes.
13
-Are you Ricardo Darín's cousin?
-Is a lie.
Cristina, my sister's godmother, was married to Ricardo's father, but I have no blood ties.
The only time I saw him was on the
Podemos Habla
r program, on Telefé, and before going on the air we talked about what was said and laughed.
Cristina is not even my blood aunt.
I'm not your cousin!
The rest is legend.
And we must finally remove the word sex from the document!
I am not an X, I am not an F or an M;
my gender is something else.
Typecasting should be punishable by law and so many explanations have to be given: I am Costa, nothing more than that matters.

-Your place in the world?
-Stage.
It is the place where I feel most comfortable because I know what I am doing.
And it is worthy because the artist takes the stage to speak his truth.
Therefore, it can be the scene of the most beautiful theater in the world or in a town square.
fifteen
-You collect something?
-I have many makeup, virgins and saints.
16
-What do you think happens after death?
-After death come our dear dead who seek us and we are light.
17
-What makes you fall in love with a person?
-I fall in love with the person who knows how to do something that I don't.
It gives me admiration.
I'm not talking about an economist, huh.
But it makes me fall in love that he has a trade and an attitude.
Whether he is a man who reads books and knows more than I do, to one who knows how to fix the washing machine.
They seem like superlative tasks to me.
18
-Since you are famous, what things have changed in your life?
- Popularity has beautiful things and some very bad things.
The bad news is that you lose all privacy and I am quite confused about the difference between what is public and what is private.
And the good thing is the love of the people and how you become part of the diary of many people.
You also help a lot of people without knowing it.
19
-Your favorite housework?
-None!
I do not like anything.
I bought the mop because I needed it and then I started working and doing networking with the company.
I don't like to do anything, but I must admit that this tool saved my life when it came to cleaning.

-What should your tombstone say?
-You have to say a phrase from Lohana Berkins: "A caterpillar that wanted to be a butterfly before it died."
