How do you feel about making your acting debut soon in La Bola Negra?
I was filming the movie in October and it was an incredible experience. It was directed by Los Javis. I was a big fan of the movie’s story. When they came to me with the idea, I was like, “Fuck! This story is very similar to Spanish Leather.” Everything was happening simultaneously. I took on this role right after putting out my album. To work with Miguel Bernardeau and Penélope Cruz was a dream come true. It’s an opening a door for me to this other world and it’s a privilege and an honor. I would love to do this again. I’m very interested in being able to play different characters and bringing other stories to life.
What was it like working with Penélope Cruz?
She was like a mother to me. She’s someone that I watched on the big screen since I was a kid. Suddenly, to work with her, this person that’s very caring and generous, it was a dream come true. There’s a story between our characters that’s very beautiful. She’s mother to me in real life, but also in the movie, she plays my mother.[[Laughs.]I get excited remembering the scene between us that you’ll see soon.
How do you feel about bringing LGBTQ+ representation into Spanish film?
The story is inspired by an unfinished work by Federico García Lorca. It’s putting importance on a queer person like never seen before in Spain. It was a story that was hidden away for a bit. It’s very important that this story is being told. I think this movie will be very inspirational for many people.
What can we expect from you next?
Going on tour in so many countries, being fortunate to experience so many things, and experiencing everything at a different speed than before, I’ve been inspired to write about new things. I hope to put out more music soon. I want my songs to mean something to people and to last. For me, it’s more about capturing emotions and connecting to people with my music.
