Wrapped in a total look of leather and Louboutin heels, Ana Fernández attends the press with an affection that is the yang of the claw that her outfit transmits: “I’ll be with you right away, honey.” He does not protest if the thing takes longer than agreed or if it has to be repeated because the power has gone out. Precisely, For her attitude, the actress has been chosen as the face of Huawei’s youngest range of smartphones And it has a lot to say in the launch of the new Nova 9 mobile (which, by the way, is a great nugget within its range).
If there is something that Fernández has made clear to us with his career, it is that the Madrilenian is aiming for everything. We have seen her on television with Cable girls, The protected and Love is forever; in cinema with the recently awarded at the Malaga Festival Girls and even singing. First, with his partner, the singer Adrián Roma (from the Marlon group), in the single March in February. Later, cheering up solo with I do not want to be with you. So we did not want to miss the opportunity to chat with her for a little bit about this attitude towards life that has led her to personal and professional success.
The first question is almost mandatory: are you very hooked on mobile?
I am not hooked as to want to be with my mobile all the time and not be able to live without it but I do feel that society, or life, has made it an extension of us. Today everything is designed so that with the mobile you pay, set the alarm, measure your heart rate … So, even if you want to have a day of disconnection, in the end the mobile allows you to carry it all in one and not have to go over with the map, the compass, the street map of Madrid …
And thank goodness … Then, we could say that you give it a practical use, right?
Yes, above all, I use it for work and promotion. When I’m at home with nothing to do, for example, I’m not the type to post personal content on social media. Although at stories I do like to upload cultural content on Instagram.
Does this overwhelm you of always having to be located and accessible?
Being localized for the people I love doesn’t seem bad to me. In fact, thank God that we can now easily communicate in the event of unforeseen events and accidents in which we did not have the opportunity before.
And what does an actress like you do with her cell phone when she goes to the movies?
I’m one of those who puts the phone on silent and concentrates on the movie. Also, I try to think, when I see someone who does not do it and who is looking at the screen, that it is because they are attending to something urgent.
The photos, with filter or natural?
I like to put filters that make the images warmer. In fact, summer is my favorite season to take photos because of the light and because we are more dark and handsome, so in winter I usually apply filters that give a more orange tone to the photos.
Do you feel pressure on social media for what you project?
As a public figure, I am very aware of the responsibility that I have not to say or do atrocities. I try to be consistent with that. In addition, I think the good thing about my generation, the thirty-something generation, is that we did not grow up with all this movement and we were able to have a much more real childhood, adolescence and early youth. In that sense, I think twentysomethings do feel more pressure for image. In addition, there is a terrible aesthetic roll of having everything very young.
“Now there is a terrible aesthetic roll of having surgery very young of everything”
In other words, the Kylie Jenner-Kardashian roll is not good for you.
I see this whole issue of having surgery so young from another perspective. The younger generations have a lot of personality, an interest in culture, to learn about our past, a desire to change things in the world … That seems like milk to me, but I also see an excessive concern for the image. I feel that, for many girls, perhaps it could fill them more to leave the savings, or that little money that they have been given for their birthday, on a trip instead of injecting themselves to the eyelashes or buying a bag that they have seen someone in a network Social. To the millennials All that, at least, I think it has already caught us, as I say, with the fronts closed.
And how do you deal with haters?
No way, it’s not worth it. In addition, it seems that we think that they are a modern thing on the Internet but “haters” you come across every day. It is the same as, as I call them, “the fools” that are everywhere in your day to day. That is to say, those people who go in the car and stick your finger out or who sneaks into the supermarket queue, who answers the phone in a super unpleasant way … I act the same in a virtual way as in real life. In addition, if I had to answer all the comments that they leave me, I would be hooked on the mobile.
And when they make a macho comment to you, how do you react?
I have three options: ignore it, say something elegant but forceful or I also have the option of saying something much more beast. That depends on how I catch the day and who says it.
Leaving technology behind, how do you face a new professional project? You have also done everything: television, cinema … even music.
I am not one of those who blocks, the nerves I win with shamelessness. Also, I think adrenaline is what makes the nerves disappear when actors get on stage or go out to record a scene. You have already become the character and you have entered the game and the imagination begins to operate. One special thing about being an interpreter is that you can live all professions: from cook to president of a country and going through catwalk model. In the end, each project is a new profession and that seems cool to me.
Does adrenaline beat insecurity?
It’s that I feel more insecure at other times than at work. I feel more insecure, for example, when I go for a gynecological check-up. Many times it seems that insecurity must necessarily be associated with doing something right or wrong, but no.
“I feel more insecure at the gynecologist than acting”
Are you one of those who have a hard time getting out of character when they say “cut”?
Not because deep inside I’m still myself and I’m having a great time.
Are you afraid of getting old?
In addition to social impositions, I think there is something genetic because it is a sign that you are approaching death. That I for my part will never take it off. Also, being afraid of death is survival to be alert. For the rest, I am at a point where I have accepted myself. When you embrace everything that we have been told are flaws, it becomes silly. I like to take care of myself and take my creams but not because I think I am going to change but as a way to pamper myself, to have a moment for myself.
How do you experience sentimental disappointments, whether romantic or not?
It depends. I am very passionate for the good and for the bad. As the years go by and I get older, I wear them with a little more maturity and mettle but I am a Scorpio. I am very passionate and jealous in every way: with privacy, friends, family … What I have done from 20 to 30 has been to appease that internal fire. I have a vengeful point and I distance myself because I know that if I don’t I will release toads and snakes through my mouth, so I have my tricks to prevent it from happening.
What is your ascendant?
I am aries ascendant.
OMG, explosive combination, according to astrology!
Yes, my signs are not appeased and peaceful. They manifest themselves in that rebellious point that I have, of always being against injustices and going out like a bull against them. Adding that I am a very good and generous person but, yes, I also have this spark.
