Seven minutes with Fernando Colunga


Fernando Colunga is the actor to take interview from whom is very difficult, because he is enough reticent. Recently Fernando visited New York to present on the evening which was held by Univision company his new telenovela: "True love"(Amor Real).

The actor did not want to give interview, at any time he was accompanied by the assistant and he did not contact the other invited actors. He only stopped to greet Adela Noriega, his partener in telenovela, and also couldn't give a temptation to be photographed together with Johanna Benedek.

Now the actor is completely shipped in the shootings of "True love" - a telenovela which recreates a story of love which occurs in the XIX century, and now is a unique theme for conversation.

What do you like more in 19th century?

I like everything, because it is magic. It is like I live in time when physically I could not live. It is a game, but on the other hand it is a tremendous experience to speak about which is difficult.

- During the shootings of telenovela probably there were funny histories, tell any.

Everything was funny, because just I sat in a car, and in a minute I am on a horse in year 1870.

Well, and nevertheless, any real situation?

Well all of us had funny stories because we live in imagination, day after day we do not know what will happen, we do not expect it, as though we are hostages of this story.

"True love" is filmed not in pavilion, but on a nature, three hours away from Mexico D.F. (a place where Fernando lives) because of what the actor probably does not have time for anything else. And here is a question not about telenovela.

And how is your private life?

It is improving

- Improving?

Yes. It is improving, improving, improving

The actor changes in his face so we shall come back to telenovela.

- How do you work with Adela Noriega?

She is a good person, and the rest is not so important.

And the other actors?

They are wonderful. I think we found people, who have the same aim, who equally seriously care about their career. I talked recently to Adela, and she agreed, that nine months of the shootings had flown by as one day.
Well, seven minutes expired.
