In Israel, a country traditionally been closely associated with Argentina, is now a real benefit Facundo. On the television show as many as three of the series with his participation: "Babes" (season 98-year), "Wild Angel" and has recently started "Iago-dark passion." And in cinemas just left the picture "baby. Small world. "In connection with the above developments, the Israeli journalist went to Buenos Aires to meet with Facundo Arana. Her story about the meeting, made a very witty comments, I bring to your attention. But at the same time ask to keep in mind that this material is a translation of a translation. The original text is printed in the Israeli magazine "Yediot Ahronot", and then translated into Spanish especially for fans of Facundo a member of its forum. However, it seemed to me unfair to leave the Russian-speaking fans of the actor without a regular, though very a curious story about their pet. What came out of it - to judge you, dear readers!

ADI Polak talking with Facundo Arana

You call and say that you have to go to another country and meet with the perfect man ... one stone to kill two birds with one stone. And you did not go? Of course, you go. And no matter what you are afraid to fly, you must cross halfway around the world, and that you send one to the city, and still say there is terribly dangerous. But it all begins and beautiful stories. And I went. I lay down their things, as it turned out, it is not suitable for the Argentine climate (there is now in the savannah), and went to Buenos Aires to meet with Facundo Arana.

The official purpose of the visit: the movie "Babes ...", which premiered recently in Israel, where Facundo plays together with Romina Yan, as well as in the telenovela of the same name, which is shown on the sixth channel. Not to mention the "Iago-dark passion" - the telenovela, where star is Facundo, and that began to show on the channel Viva.
Less than the official purpose of the visit: it is, of course, meeting with yourself Facundo Arana

Filming "babes ..." took more than a year ago, and the movie reached us just that. Eighteen months Facundo, Romina Yan and the entire film crew spent in the mountains in the south. According to the actor, "is the most beautiful place in Argentina, is a paradise."

The first series, in which the heroine realizes that every beginning is always difficult

The journey was difficult. So many hours alone in the plane, a word mentioned no one. In general, I hate to fly. My arrival in Buenos Aires, too, is not much inspired me. It's more for the climate? Mussonsky? What is it? 30-degree heat and the rain! So, and what do I do next? How can I find a taxi, but still make sure that I was not robbed?
Enough. It is necessary to calm down. We must imagine that this telenovela, and I'm the main character. "No, you're not so easy to surrender" - I said to myself - that's your story and get used to the fact that without difficulty nothing happens. Can you imagine what would have happened if Natalia Oreiro locked in the hotel, I began to cry and call my mother? Is would then "Wild Angel"? Is she then got married Facundo in the last episode? "
I calmed down.

The second series, in which the heroine hears the sounds of the violin

The room phone rings. I immediately recognized the voice, and I say that is already going down. In the lobby of the hotel it is not. But to find it is not so difficult, it is only necessary to look to where fixed the eyes of the female staff. I have two days in Argentina and therefore understand that when he catches me with hugs and kisses, it does not mean that before him the most beautiful woman he had ever met (which is a pity!). Just so accepted here.

The third series, in which the character starts a conversation about children

You're interested in the world of children?

In truth, this film was for me the logical conclusion of a certain stage in my life, I would have closed the circle. I played "baby ..." on television, played in the theater ... When I was told that they were going to make a film and offer me a major role, the first thing I asked whether there Romina and children. I was told that yes, there are, and I immediately agreed, without even reading the script. I like kids. They are wonderful creatures, yet nothing spoiled. They - are what you see them.

I read somewhere that you want six children.

Yes.

Indeed six?

Well, I guess I'll have four.

But you have such a crazy life, you're busy all the time ...

My life belongs to me alone, when I have a child or four children, it will no longer belong only to me.

And are not you afraid of losing your freedom?

No, not at all. This great love deserves. (Mom, do you hear that?)

As a future father and the man who works for the children, what do you think should be done to teach them how to survive in a world where so much violence. How to make sure that they have grown up in these people?

Humanity as a whole is a very difficult and tragic history ... there so many terrible events, and it has become for me a kind of lesson ... I realized that I should talk to their children. I tell them: look at what can happen. The world must change.

The fourth series, in which the heroine enters the world of the protagonist

The "Dollar Baby" you do not show the real world, you have to "sell" the dream.

It's just a story, just a movie. There are things you and I do not like ... too much suffering, though, in the end, love and good still wins. But my head is not necessary to compare it with the real world.

This film, like the telenovela, in which you shoot - it's a kind of escape from reality. They all always ends well, the monster turns into a handsome man, a poor man in a rich man. It can easily captivate you for themselves, take away from the reality.

I would not compare it with life. Our work is incredible - we tell stories. In ancient times, there were people who told stories sitting by the fire, and all came to listen to them. Today, with advances in technology and globalization, we continue to tell these stories, but this time through film and television. I have the opportunity to tell stories to millions of people. And the most remarkable thing - that I tell here, want to listen to, and in Israel, and in Turkey and Poland, and Russia, and even in Japan. There are things that everyone loves and want to see everything. People in the world are not that different.

But you are addicted to these people in an unreal, fantasy world. Not everyone is such an interesting and rich life as you have.

Maybe, but others have a life that can never survive me. The doctor who saves people lives a life that will never be mine. The soldier, to protect me, my country, living a life that I can not live. Each person has their own life, which can not live no other. My life - telling stories, the life I chose.

And this life, the dream of many.

The only thing I want is to be worthy of the life that I chose to live in peace with itself.

But are you sure you know what the critics say about telenovelas ... that they are very superficial, it's an escape from reality?

Do you like fiction movies?

Actually no. (I hope it's nothing bad about that?)

There are people who are really like. If I had the opportunity to do something that would please everyone, I would do it. {mospagebreak}

(Attempt number two) Yet you to respond to these accusations?

I have nothing to say. I chose a profession - to tell stories, and now I tell stories that take place in telenovelas. There are people who love it, and there are those who say "what else, I find the best way to dispose of their time." And beautiful. For example, some for many years sitting and wrote a very important book on medicine, read I would not spend a minute of your life, but I am sure that doctors will be required to read it.

The fifth episode in which the character is trying to destroy the illusion

In all the interviews that I read, you say such lofty words, talking about such a beautiful phrase. Hard to believe that there are people on earth who believe in all this. You seem to live in their own telenovela.

I am sure that in every person there is something good. Each person can find some excellent side.

(Hmm, bad case) Do you really believe that?

(Do not give up)   Yes, I believe you. It's human nature.

How can you be so optimistic?

(Still do not give up)   Do your very archenemy have children, whom he loves, and he has a friend who is convinced that he is the most wonderful person in the world. You, who in turn someone hates, have friends who think you're a wonderful person -The world (To hell with friends, yourself, then what do you think?)

(It is necessary to admit defeat) To be honest, when so here talking to you, it's hard to believe you do not (It's really hard ... then he takes my hand and looked me straight in the eye ... So, everything! Enough! Something here was too hot ...)

I think everyone lives the life he chose.

Sixth Series, in which the protagonist refuses to talk about the conflict

Apparently in Israel live harsh and cynical people, why is it so difficult to see something good to our enemies.

I do not allow myself to talk about the current policy of Israel, there are experts for that better. Sam, I hate it when some stranger begins to talk about the grave situation prevailing in Argentina.

But perhaps, just in this situation, and the view from the outside is necessary to remind us, for example, that our enemies have children.

But this man will not be me. I have no right to talk about these things. It is very difficult, delicate situation, and I think most people in the world need to know when to keep quiet. Not right when the Argentinian, who spent two days in Israel and has never been in an Arab country, said about this conflict.

O'KEY. But you can talk about the people you met in Israel, when he came to the awarding of Viva. (Arana presented the award for Best Actor for his role as Ivo in "Wild Angel")

I have no words to describe my feelings ... I just can not. I was given so much love people who every day have to fight for life, for freedom and for peace. The only thing that I saw in their eyes - this is love. Unbelievable.

Seventh series, in which the heroine is encouraged by the actions of this man

You always insist on getting to perform all the tricks. The "Dollar Baby" you almost got frostbite when he fell into the river, in the "lago ..." there was an accident with a horse ... You live to the limit and everything is done for the sake of advertising?

I will not answer this question.

In order not to set an example for children?

And so, as well as because if you write about it, it really is something like advertising.

But I can not get around the issue

Good. I like to live at the limit of my ability, but at the same time, do not risk your life. This is - never.

Eighth series, in which the heroine goes to the main issues

You really believe in great love, love for life, as in the telenovelas?

I believe in love.

(Okay, okay, but ...) I mean, do you believe that there is someone who is your destiny?

I believe in love

(Just do it, come on ...) And what does it mean?

I always felt funny people try to explain what love is. It is impossible to convey in words. I believe in love and that's all, that's it.

(Go to the most important) Do you love someone?

I have a lot of people I love ...

Oh, please!

I love my parents, my family. (He mocks what?)

Let's answer. I find it hard to ask this question, but you know that I do not forgive me if I did not ask. Answers and be done with it! (God, I almost shouted at him!)

No, everything is fine, that's your job, I'll tell you. I just do not want to see me on the screen, you said to yourself, it's Facundo Arana, he was 29 years old, he likes surfing, he has a wife and two children (he has not, no, this is the only way for an example). I want you to see me not, and Iago. The less you know about me as a person, the more you have to believe in what I'm playing.

But you know that it is not so. You know that your fans want to know everything. In total some 10 minutes on the Internet, and before you a list of 600 sites in 200 languages, dedicated to you. And everywhere it is written that your favorite color - blue, that your dog is named Pampa that saxophone - it's your life and you're dying to speak again to the public. If you do not want to answer, just say you do not want.

The only reason why I do not want to talk about it, I have already named.

Maybe you do not want to disappoint his fans?

No, not so. Also, I do not want people to read about my family, and then came to my parents and sisters (he has three) . The actor - I, and not my family.

But you have not answered my question: Is there in your life a great love or not?

Yes, and it lasts for five and a half years.

Thank God, he told me (although it is a pity, is not it?). His girlfriend name is Isabel, and she is also an actress. They do not live together, but our hero said that, in the end, they were married and even called her a "goddess" (but it does not matter, because as we have said, no one telenovela is not without obstacles).

The media keep saying that you are the costs, then come together again ... (Stand by)

Yes, almost every day they write that we parted. I can not deal with it. (Oh, we were so close)

Ninth Series, in which the heroine finds out that we are talking about real diamonds

For three days I wandered in Buenos Aires. I visited the site of "Iago ...", met with the crew, with the people who surround him ... and all pestered with one and the same question: this man -This? Well, tell me about him anything bad, tell that he was late for the shooting, which he plays at the races that eats with his mouth open. No! Nothing! Everyone says that he is - the present. So much so that he even called an angel, I swear! You do not want to die?

My visit to the set was unforgettable. The protagonist of the regular arms greeted me (hell, it smells good), put his hand on my shoulder and introduced me as a very well-known journalist from Israel.

From you comes so much positive energy as you do that? This wildly popular imposes great responsibility. You're very strong.

We, the actors, have the opportunity at least for 15 minutes to experience what real glory and absolute power. Although fame and power in this case is a relative term. You must be very careful, especially if you want to grow old with the thought that he deserved this opportunity. So you have to take risks and work as best as possible for the sake of those people who do not have such an opportunity.

TENTH SERIES. Farewell.

That's it. All over. Now I'm here again. Goodbye, Buenos Aires! Goodbye, Facundo! Hello office computer! Hello, O Israel! Welcome Offers bomb threats and news on unemployment! I did not notice that ended my telenovela. Again, I live in the real world.
