Silvia Navarro closes this January with an absence of almost three years from television, and returns from the United States with the most revealing role of her life. As she admitted in an interview with Efe from the headquarters of Telemundo Studios, the Mexican actress is teaching “The Luck” the essence of her emotional DNA.
“I find the changes easy and that has been to change everything,” Navarro said. Still, the 42-year-old artist opted to leave Mexico and return to a romantic comedy, but now in a hybrid between soap opera and series.
“It’s a romantic love story and also between parents and children, so it is done and, most importantly, love between friends,” he said.
“I live this with my friends. It’s true. I’m Loli,” he assures them.
To exemplify this, Navarro opened much more than usual the door to his intimacy. “I had a complicated family life like a lot of people. It was my friends who taught me what unconditional love is,” she said.
“Silvia is a visceral actress and in this role, even though it’s a comedy, I feel it even more. She’s not thinking about where the character should go or what she should convey. She’s living it. She’s revealing who it really is, ”his co-star Osvaldo Benavides told Efe.
The production premieres in the United States on January 26 on Telemundo.
In addition to Benavides, Navarro shares credits with Gaby Espino, Jacqueline Bracamontes and Christian Chávez, among many others.
The romantic comedy takes place in Los Angeles and has as its starting point the relationship of Loli, a single executive life is transformed when her best friend dies and has to take care of their children.
“I had just done ‘La candidata’ (a political thriller) and ‘Caer en tentación’, which was very truculent and I asked God to send me a comedy. I had a couple of offers before but I preferred to wait and Loli arrived, “he recalled.
For being a comedy “that beats (embraces) the heart and for the intensity of being working in an environment where we all have to take care of ourselves (due to the covid-19 pandemic),” Navarro describes the environment of the recordings as “very enriching”.
That doesn’t mean it was easy. The first challenge was to make the decision to move to the United States with a young child to carry out the project. “It was very difficult,” Navarro said.
What’s not new is Navarro’s commitment to his mission “to entertain people”. When his 5-year-old son Leon asked him the reasons for such a radical change, “I told him my job is to make the audience happy.” He added that it is what he wants for his child, “to have a job that allows him to give.”
“And that’s what defines my professional life and more at this time. I hope people who see us feel a respite from peace and fun, at least for a while.”
