00:00Very good, I'm excited to talk a little bit with you. How have you received Telemundo and the Spanish public
00:05of the United States? How have you received that?
00:07Very good, where are you?
00:10I am now connected from Spain.
00:14Spain? Well, I love Spain, I have a house there. I have received very well in Miami, I live in
00:21Rome, in Madrid.
00:22But coming here, I know that in the future I can buy a house here, I would like to live
00:30a little bit here.
00:31It has received very well, it's a great place.
00:35How do you feel that this story, the Turkish, keeps traveling internationally and reaches now to the Spanish public of
00:43the United States through Telemundo?
00:45Well, it's a surprise because it's a series that we did for four years, and after four years I came
00:52to America. I love this situation.
00:56My fans, my friends, had it seen through other media, but we have to give the thanks to Telemundo that
01:06they can see it on TV.
01:10So it's a regalo for my fans, I would say.
01:14How good.
01:14In your day, what was the most attracted to this story, this character, when they were given it?
01:19When they were given it, when they were given it, about the story of the character, what was the most
01:22attracted to the attention?
01:23What was the most attracted to you?
01:25Well, I had to say Sandokan, it was another series of five years ago.
01:29That's why that was the reason why I moved to Italy.
01:34In other words, the series was the opportunity.
01:40Then, the Turkish offering came from the offer, but all the training that I had to do for the Turkish,
01:46also served for Sandokan.
01:49They were fighting, fighting, fishing, horses, all the things that a warrior had to do.
01:55So, I dreamed of doing this.
01:58With the Turkish, I started learning all these skills.
02:05Then, those skills that I learned, also served for Sandokan.
02:10I had a lot of lessons playing this series, but as a actor, I developed a lot.
02:17I taught a lot of things.
02:20So, it helped me to be a better actor in my career.
02:25That's good.
02:26Also, it's a series that, for the first time, I played in English, so it's also special.
02:34It's also the best producer in Turkey.
02:37I didn't have the opportunity to work when I lived in Turkey.
02:43Then, they came, they found me.
02:44We could work on this international project,
02:48which, for them, was the first time they played in English.
02:52So, it's a very important production for Turkey, because it's an international series.
02:59It's the only international series that we did and we did.
03:03That's good.
03:03Now, you talk a little bit about the preparation of the character,
03:07because, you know, it's a complex character,
03:09that requires many physical abilities.
03:11What would you say that was the most complex,
03:13the most difficult to interpret,
03:15or to abord a story, and a character like this, this guerrero?
03:18Well, I already trained in the gym in a particular way,
03:23to be ready for the role.
03:26But then, I moved to Hungary two months ago.
03:32Every day, three hours of fighting,
03:35and three hours of equitability,
03:36so that's six hours of training.
03:39Then, I did one or two hours of training in the gym,
03:44so that's eight hours of training.
03:45So, I eat, I sleep in a particular way,
03:50and I was training all the time.
03:52I had the opportunity to spend time with horses,
03:58to learn their psychology.
04:00The fighting part was also hard,
04:04because I had many injuries,
04:07so I had to take those injuries,
04:09but I lived in a bit of a bit of a stoic,
04:14like a character.
04:17I was in Hungary, in another country,
04:21and there was obscurity
04:22at four o'clock in the afternoon,
04:26so the hours were a bit of adjusted.
04:30I woke up at three o'clock in the morning,
04:34and I had to go to play.
04:37So, it was a bit of a stoic,
04:43so it was a bit of a stoic,
04:45because everything was in particular.
04:48It was a bit of cold.
04:50It was a bit of cold.
04:53I had to adapt to those conditions when I was playing.
04:58Well, you speak Spanish very well,
05:01and the most surprising thing of all,
05:02I have understood,
05:03and I think, in Spain,
05:05you learned the language
05:06in very little time.
05:08How did you speak Spanish
05:11in so little time?
05:12Tell us a little bit.
05:13Well, I wrote a series of action,
05:15a romantic thriller in Spain.
05:17It was a role that has been written for me.
05:21I lived in Rome,
05:23I wrote in San Ducan.
05:24When I decided to write something in Spain,
05:29I had to learn.
05:30I already dreamed of learning Spanish
05:33and living in Spain,
05:34because I knew that I had a lot of interest
05:37from this part.
05:40So, I had a teacher
05:42who came to my home for four hours every day.
05:45We were studying.
05:46When I was there,
05:47I had to learn about movies,
05:50movies, series,
05:51with subtitles,
05:53and I read a lot.
05:54So, I was able to learn a year,
05:59and I was obsessed with the language.
06:02I had enough constancy and intensity,
06:07and I was hard.
06:10I did a hard time.
06:11It was my mission and a passion.
06:14but I knew that I had to learn well because I had to live and play a series, so it
06:21was a
06:21responsibility and serenity.
06:24To finish, I don't know if there is any actor or actress latinoamerican with whom you would like to work
06:30or know your work?
06:34Well, Sequoia is the Spanish producer with whom we collaborate. They also work with William Levy,
06:43and if you know William Levy, you know William Levy, one day, we will do it together with him.
06:49Okay, well, it would be a good thing.
06:50If that would be a good thing, if that would be a good thing.
06:53Thank you so much for the time, Jan, we are going to be very careful of the show and that
06:59it would be a success too,
07:00this series from this side, from here.
07:02Thank you very much.
07:03Thank you very much, Santino.
07:04Un abrazo.
