Blanca Suárez triumphs as a Cazanazi vigilante in Jaguar, the new Netflix series, and she already has two films pending release. She says that she prefers not to stop. Everything she does transcends and what she touches turns to gold.

He assures that it is quiet, but sometimes it buzzes inside. Nobody would say. It can’t stand heavy people, or those people who repeat things a lot. “I need calm people around me, who don’t hound me”, she warns. Almost everything he does or says – with a nonchalance that seems sincere – is followed by millions. “As the repercussion or the success of what I do does not depend on me, I do not go crazy with this either”.

In her new series, Jaguar, she plays a survivor of the Nazi camp at Mauthausen, who only lives for revenge in the Madrid of the 60s. “She is a wounded, lonely woman, who never relaxes. Until she joins a group of secret agents who, like her, seek justice”. The series has just premiered on Netflix.

“It is true that I have been working almost non-stop for more than ten years, but I cannot say if I am at my best, or that I have reached the place where I wanted to be. I have just premiered a series and I have finished shooting two films, El Test by Dani de la Orden, and El Cuarto Pasajero by Álex de la Iglesia. This profession is very mutant. Everything changes from one moment to another. Now I am not immersed in any filming and that totally conditions your life. The perception that the actors are always filming. The actor’s life comes with a delay, because what you see now is what we did a year ago. That is why it is curious to talk about a current moment in your life, you always go as out of sync with the reality”.

“One always trusts that that dream project is going to arrive, but probably what you have idealized will never happen. So you are lucky enough to be called. If I have checked something, it is that work calls work. I reaffirm that you have to work and work. You learn this job by working, staying active, not waiting for the dream role or the one that best suits your mood. It’s hard for me to say no to a project. If roughly it fits me and suits me by dates, I don’t have to reject it. Normally I value all the projects offered to me. I know that I am lucky enough to allow myself to reject some work, but if it is viable by dates and there is nothing terrifying surrounding it, I tend to say yes”.

“I feel unable to say which is the movie that I would have liked or would like to be in. Today I see one that I love and I say: That is the movie that I would like to do! But the next day I see another and I also like… I don’t feel empowered to choose an ideal film, because it could act in thousands. I don’t like to limit, it gives me more pressure. For example, I see myself in something like Una joven prometedora, but also in Mamma Mia! My bow it’s very broad”.

“Jaguar is pure adrenaline. Before filming we talked a lot about the character, about what tone to give the series. We opted for action over the intimate tone. My character, Isabel Garrido, is a traumatized, lonely woman, always in the shadows, on the defensive. Her only meaning in life is revenge. She managed to escape from a Nazi concentration camp. To build the character, I studied her past very well, because everything she does in the present is a consequence of terrifying experiences Of your past”.

“I try not to have any point in common with my character, neither with this nor with any of those I have played. If you start putting things of yours on the paper, you open the door and end up making yourself. You have to get into it. You have to get into the character, and if then the unconscious plays a trick on you and you end up putting something of yours on it, then what are you going to do to it”.

“I have spent a lot of time alone, because this job is like that. You spend a lot of time away from home. But I prefer to be with people. I am not one of those who go alone on vacation. I have gotten used to being alone for a long time and I do not go up for the walls”.

“In the series there are a lot of fight scenes. I have mostly shot them myself, but with the help of a stuntman. Each of us had a stunt double for the stunts, and an action coordinator at the time of filming. Sometimes the doubles taught us to score the shot, and since I like this I learned a lot”.

“In the United States, coordinators of sex scenes are already common. In Spain there are beginning to be some in some filming, especially to reach a consensus, because not everyone feels comfortable doing a sex scene or talking about it. Yes, sometimes it’s already difficult to talk about it in your private life, because imagine yourself with someone you don’t know. It’s good to know where they are going to record you from and what is going to happen, to feel as comfortable as possible”.

“I have no idea why what I do has an impact and I have so many followers. I have no idea how success works. It is something that does not depend on me. If I put all my energy into being talked about, I would understand, but it is not my case. I can not explain it. I wish I could do the calculation and develop a formula to know that if I do this it will work and if I do this another it will not. Maybe the trick is to ignore it and do it spontaneously”.

“The bad part about exposing yourself publicly is that there are also a lot of bad ideas on social media. I show what I want to show, but it is not easy to find a balance. When you promote the conscious desire to be in the eye of the hurricane, you should know that you can receive praise but also criticism. But when you do not expose yourself on a personal level, quite the opposite, because you want to lead a discreet life, you also have to learn to manage that without you intending to receive comments, which is even more twisted. The conclusion is simple: whatever you do, there are people who are going to love it and others who are going to mess with you”.

“When I went out to the street after confinement I was struck by not feeling observed. I am not saying that I cannot go out, because I lead a normal life and sometimes things happen, but it is not the usual thing. One day suddenly I found myself in the supermarket and nobody noticed me, neither on the street… You get used to not being noticed by being looked at, and when that doesn’t happen it misses you a lot. I have a micro-place in the brain that is unconsciously pending of those people who recognize me, almost out of habit, and suddenly you realize that no one is looking at you. It is a very strange twist. Now that you can go without a mask on the street they have annoyed me again… (Laughter) It’s funny how easy it can be to disappear. To be an observer instead of an observed”.

“I am calm by nature, although sometimes I am very nervous inside. The disorder drives me crazy. Also heavy people, those who repeat things a lot are the ones who overwhelm me the most. I need calm people around me, who do not hound. On the other hand, I’m very impatient myself”.

“What I like least about acting are the schedules and being away from home. You go against the tide of the world, and that is very desperate. When I have a strong work streak there is no time for anything, neither to see your family nor to go to the gym. Lack of rest and sleep is bad for me. The other things in my profession are good. With enough rest, the rest goes smoothly”.

“I am not one of those people who felt a vocation, or who say they have always wanted to be actresses. I wanted to be an actress when I started working and I saw that it flowed, that I was comfortable. When I saw that they kept calling me to work I said to myself: That’s it, let yourself go and if one day it doesn’t flow, you look for something else. I wouldn’t mind dedicating myself to any other creative thing, for example something related to crafts, which calms me down a lot. This philosophy is very positive, I’m lucky because I have it naturally. This profession can be very frustrating. No matter how hard you try, you will not get the job of your dreams, because not everything is in your power, and you should not beat yourself up for it. The only thing you can do it is putting everything on your part to make it happen and enjoying what you have”.
