It is easy to dress, raised and kept in communication, a delightful blend of rocker-Neformal and noble XIX century. Being with Facundo Arana you will certainly find yourself under its magical aura that emanates not so much from his appearance the romantic hero of all time, but from his gestures and manners to say calmly but firmly.

We met him at the height of his release, a cup of coffee, with, in his words, "plenty of time at our disposal." Being close to Arana, there is a strange feeling that you hang out at the same time "golden boy" of the wealthy district, a boy from a neighboring village, and an elf from "Lord of the Rings."

"I believe that the telenovela has evolved, not only in terms of the history, but also its supply: from the ending balance of the cameras installation method" - says Facundo. - "Now, everything is done very quickly. Actors have to jump, run, get-go, climb-down. This year has been very revealing in this regard. Among the five highest-rated television programs - 4 series, and the difference between them is just a one-two figures: they are among the best, and it's wonderful. A few years ago we thought that all TV programs will soon consist of mere entertainment and live shows. The actors because of lack of work had to be very tight. Someone was able to adequately get out this situation, some do not. I am very happy that now it is gradually returning to their seats.

I like telenovelas, which are now shown on television, but I do not want to "sit down" in earnest, or to sit and stay at the TV. When I have time I look at Mariano Martinez and other friends, compensating, thus, lack of communication with them.

What do you feel when you look at yourself in the repetition of "Wild Angel", which was filmed in 1999?

... I see the child. How time flies! But look at it all very amusing.

From March next year, the actor will return to the screens and will turn into just a robber (a la Robin Hood), who will hide from their pursuers posing as a priest. TV series tentatively titled "Padre coraje" manufactured by Polka will be released in 22 hours on channel 13.

"This is the dream of every actor: 6 months to prepare for the role," - says enthusiastically Arana .  The action of the new telenovela will be developed in a provincial town near Buenos Aires in the 50s of the last century .  According to the plot, which is working on the development of Marcos Carnevale and Marcela Gertie (authors series "099 Central" and "Soy gitano"), the protagonist unjustly accused of murder, and so he will be forced to go into hiding .  According to the actor, his character - not Fox, but circumstances forced him to become a robber just .  Fleeing persecution, he gets to the village, where decides to pass himself off as a priest .  There, he met with two girls who appear to be playing Millie Stegmann and Carina Zampini (pictured), who were antagonists in the series "Wild Moon" with Gabriel Corrado in the title role (Stegmann played a negative and Karina positive character ) .  "I keep fingers crossed for you to be my female partners," - says Facundo .  - I have them both know very well .  Their roles speak for themselves .  In addition, they work real professionals if they are told to be at 7 am on the set - they come at seven and since the text unlearned " . 

The actor is full of enthusiasm for his new role. "I'll be ready for the full program. Will work on my body, I started training and I have to do plenty of time (Arana returned from a trip thinner 8 kg). I will learn to speak, as they said in 1950, specifically'll watch movies of the time. After all, I often like to spend time: on Friday I finished a telenovela, and on Monday was beginning another. For example, from "Wild Angel" I directly hit the "Good Neighbors," and of "babes" in "Wild Angel" . There was a time when I was doing both at once telenovelas. In the morning you put on a business suit Business suit - the creation of an absolute image of the man   and you play a young businessman in the evening shirt - and depicts a boy from the suburbs. Of course, you could, but it's very hard. Now my life was a real chance. I will be no more excuses. But the actor does not need an excuse, it needs opportunities. "

Thus defining the near future Facundo, whom for months fought at least two channels and several production companies, while he continued his journey along the roads of Argentina.

Do not have time to finish shooting "099 Central" as the Aran, his girlfriend Isabel Macedo and dog Pampa got into the car and set off on a trip to Argentina, where they visited a variety of places: from the missionary jungle and ending ridge la Quebrada de Humahuaca mendosinskimi and valleys. Facundo Arana said that during the trip he learned something, and the experience gained will enable it to best spend the next ten of his life (in the way the actor celebrated his 31 th birthday).

Among other things, he realized that "life - it is a passion, a pause and reflection" (in his mouth this phrase sounds like an aphorism). And it helped him to understand this ascent to the summit of Mount Aconcagua, which was one of the biggest challenges of his life. "During the ascent, I realized that everything is possible, even a drop dead in the middle, the only thing that I can not - it is to change his mind and turn back," - he said. He reached the top after a 12-day ascent with ulcers on their feet, and peripheral edema of the face. Isabel - a friend and companion of the actor in all his travels, was waiting for him in despair, because just at that moment the base was reported that he died from 8 climbers to conquer the peak. Several hours passed before it became known the name of the unfortunate.

"We need to realize what has been done, not just to live there will come a time when you say to yourself," oh, but life took place. "We need to find a balance, it will allow you to understand yourself" - philosophizes Facundo. - "It is very difficult to hit the brakes, but it is necessary for their own growth as a person, to understand who you really are, to reflect on their lives."

But you went only half way ...

Yes. On the horizon there was a telenovela, I arrived in Buenos Aires, in addition, I can not now go to the south, because the road became difficult (remember that when it is summer in Argentina - winter). I'll go through the second half at another time.

You always say that you have no enemies, because you prefer to live in love. This postulate of a religious or mystical teachings?

There is no mystery, it's just not wanting to have enemies. For enmity takes two. You must hate me, but I have to quarrel with you. This whole operation. The same force is required to find a solution to the opposite: we have a problem, we have to find common ground, and all. I need not have enemies. For what? Also, I do not preach. Speak - easy words fill the space. I prefer to fill his actions. This I learned from my family. So do the people with whom I want to be there.

Therefore, none of you will never say a bad word?

You know, life is long and anything can happen. Profession actor incredible publicity. Not now, but tomorrow my son will read what they write about me, and we must be careful with what you're doing, because people look at you. Cursing - easy to smoke in front of the camera - easily pretend to be Don Juan, telling left to right as you girlfriends - easily. Very easy. But, whichever you choose? I want my old man was proud of his son, and my future son proud of his father. What's so strange? As for the world around us, if all this sounds strange! Of course, we all have the right to make mistakes, but just as we also have the opportunity to ask for forgiveness.

You can not be so good ...

It's not goodness, I just give an account of their actions. Of course, if necessary, you can add some touch of divinity. But not too much. Because my job - is to tell stories, not pretend to be someone in life. To me this is enough for 12 hours on the set.

You're still one of the sexiest men in this country, how to deal with it Isabel?

It takes time. It is not possible today to say "I'm an actor," and the next day, "I - the main character." This is wrong, wrong, you do not give a person time. It is impossible today to sow and harvest tomorrow.

I ask you about Isabel ...

I dodged the question. And so Facundo Arana enters every time the conversation from theory want to divert to personal topics. Well, let's try again.

Your friend is also an actress, it helps?

Isabel, like any actor's girlfriend, does not look like her boyfriend or husband kisses another. She looks like her husband gets up at six in the morning to go to work, sometimes crying out in pain. He leaves and returns at 8 pm home, then to go to the gym to engage in, and then come back to read the script, make a note to come back and say, "I'll take care of you," because it keeps the house. The main thing is that my wife knows that her husband chose his own way in life, it's really important. And if it means going to act for 12 hours in the rain, the patient, with the temperature in the cold after a motorcycle accident, to 8 o'clock in the morning, then so be it. That it helps you to get dressed because of the pain you can not even move. She does not have time to think about what you will do. Because she respects you and your work.

It does not matter that "your disposal plenty of time," or what Facundo Arana amiable even when he says that what would not want to speak. You see his confusion, though he tries to hide in its shell, and your initial curiosity gives way to the insistent desire to know why he does not want to talk about himself.

"On the life of my heroes you can find whatever you want, but my life belongs only to me" - he explains. - "It's not a secret, it's just my life. I play in movies, not in life. I tell stories, but I have - not the story. So I will have fewer titles, but they will be honored.

What are you so persistently protects?

The idea is this: reading Pinocchio, you draw its image in his head. And now I tell you: if you pull Pinocchio's nose, it bleeds, if you remove the shirt, then it would be a hairy chest, as if to raise the cap - a bald head. No! We do not want to know what actually Pinocchio. So if I tell you what I say to my wife before you go to sleep, how many times a day I walk the dog - people will remember it. And then, when I tell the story, they will see either Ivo, Iago or Thomas Ledesma and Facundo, who gets up at 6 o'clock in the morning, go for a jog in the gym, reading, studying the script. So I try to avoid talking about their lives.

How do you feel about criticism?

Critique of good, it is necessary, but disrespect - not. I helped in the early "Wild Angel", wrote that I do not play, but only wear the mask of the hero. It's quite another - when they began to talk, it is easy to win the Martin Fierro, if you had cancer.

And the competition excites you?

I have to contend only with the death of one person in this world, he is my friend and my worst enemy, the only one of its kind - is myself. If you ever see that I look at the cars passing by and want to pass it - means my life and career have failed. But covershit mistake the one who wants to beat me, because it's impossible. Overtake nobody. On my way there is only room for one.
