SPEAKER_02 0:00

It's the latest to fire. It's the latest to fire. Oh girl. Who's she gonna talk about? What's she gonna ask about?

unknown 0:10

Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 0:11

Um well hi Audrey. I'm so excited to be talking with you. So thank you. Thank you. I'm so excited to listen to your questions. Um, so what's the most exciting thing about being here at Series Fest?

SPEAKER_01 0:29

It's the first time I am presenting this uh TV series outside France, so it's very exciting, and then I'm happy to be in Denver. For one, because I'm meeting you, and then also because I fell in love with the trees. I was not expecting that beautiful nature here, so I'm very happy. Oh, I love that.

SPEAKER_00 0:52

Yeah, um so I um got a screener for uh Zorro and I love it. Um uh what are you excited about for people to see with this adaptation?

SPEAKER_01 1:08

Yes, I am um I can't wait for people to discover it. It's very different from all the Zorho that have been released so far. And uh also I have to say that beyond the fact that Zoho is kind of old, older than normal than the other Zorhos, uh the female part has a very special uh place, you know, compared to what we could expect. So I'm very excited about that.

SPEAKER_00 1:40

Oh yeah. Um so what is your um favorite thing about playing this character?

SPEAKER_01 1:48

I loved everything about uh Gabriela de la Vega, Donna Gabriela de la Vega. I loved everything about that that character. Um what was extremely exciting for me was of course the sword fighting, uh the horseback riding that was fun, and also the comedy aspect of it. Um, because I think it's not a spoiler, she's gonna fall in love with Zoro, but she's married to uh to uh Don Diego, so basically she's cheating her husband with her husband, and I think this is a lot of fun, you know.

SPEAKER_00 2:27

Yeah, yeah. Um, yeah, I was watching um a few of the screeners, and I just I couldn't stop laughing. It's so funny. Good, I'm glad. Um so what uh genre of movie would your life story be told as?

SPEAKER_01 2:48

I didn't understand.

SPEAKER_00 2:50

Uh like um would you want your um like if your life story was a movie, would it be would you want it to be like a comedy or um I would definitely choose the comedy, yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_01 3:06

Because I think we need to laugh yeah and laugh and laugh. Laughter is good for your health, so I would definitely choose comedy, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:15

Oh, I love that, yeah. Um, so if you had a warning label, what would yours say?

SPEAKER_01 3:26

Uh like warning would be like uh not under 16 or something, is it yeah, but it could be anything? Yeah, it would be no racists, no stupid people, no masculinist men, you know. Yeah, I love those. Okay, good.

SPEAKER_00 3:54

Yeah, good. Um yeah, so what song always makes you want to turn up the volume and dance?

SPEAKER_01 4:04

Oh wow. Um well there's a song that just was released by a girl called Charlie Lou, and called the song is called Vision, and and uh it's it's new and I think nobody knows her, but I love it because it says, My mama says to always follow your vision, and so um and so now I never get lost because I follow my visions, and I I I've I I've I think that this girl said it all, you know, so people should check it on Spotify. Yeah, yeah. I love that.

SPEAKER_00 4:40

I'm definitely gonna go listen to that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:43

It's really it's upbeat, it's fun, and she says it all, and it's a call for freedom, you know, and and for being yourself, your true self. And I I think the world would be so much happier if everybody was um was uh really acting their own part and not something that someone is expecting from them, you know.

SPEAKER_00 5:03

Yeah, definitely. I love that. Um, so uh if you had the opportunity to put a message on a billboard for everyone to see, what would that message be?

SPEAKER_01 5:19

For one, I love that question. Thank you very much. Uh uh, we are one. Yeah, that would be my message. So take care of the other as you would take care of yourself, and take care of Mother Nature as you would take care of yourself, and actually, we do not take care of ourselves good enough, you know. Yeah, this is the massive problem that we do not love each other, we do not love ourselves enough. I love the wind is like so powerful. So maybe maybe I would say the whole tent is like actually about to fly away to fly off. It's amazing, yeah, incredible. Uh, maybe I would say love yourself, love yourself because if you do love yourself, then you will love the others and love mother nature. I think everything is a reflection of how we do not love ourselves enough. So maybe we are one, love yourself first, yeah, and so that way you can love the rest of the world.

SPEAKER_00 6:30

Oh, I love that. I want to see that on a billboard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um so um, if you could choose anyone to narrate your life, who would uh you choose to tell your story?

SPEAKER_01 6:47

I would choose Jean Dujardin, not because he's acting in Zoro and he is the role, but because he's a very good friend of mine, he's an amazing actor, and he's capable of doing it all. Like he can he's excellent in comedy, but he's excellent in dramas, and so he's a great storyteller. So I would definitely ask Jean Dujardin to narrate my story. Oh, I love that, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:14

Um, yeah, so is there um a movie or TV world that you wish you could live in?

SPEAKER_01 7:25

Um is there I would not want to be in Titanic. No, I I wouldn't want that. La La Land. That that seems like fun and light. I was thinking of Truman's show, just but I not really, but somehow it's like so nice and easy, but the truth is super different. So I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 7:57

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:59

Yeah, I've always I managed to talk about three movies I really love.

SPEAKER_00 8:03

So I love that. Yeah, I've always wanted to live in a rom-com, yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, and a musical, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, so uh my final question for you is um, so today what are you most grateful for?

SPEAKER_01 8:24

Breathing, breathing, and um being able to, you know, being alive. I love being incarnated. I love I love being alive. I have a very dear friend of mine who just passed away, so I'm very aware of how it all goes fast and how we should enjoy just the simple fact of breathing and exchanging, and but I would go back to my love for nature, like today I had encounters with beautiful, amazing, incredible trees. So I'm grateful for that that exchange, that communication with that mind-blowing nature you have here in Denver.

SPEAKER_00 9:15

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:16

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 9:20

Yeah, and thank you so much for um taking the time to answer my questions. And I've loved talking with you, and like I said, I love Zoro and I can't wait for everybody to see it.

SPEAKER_01 9:34

So thank you. My pleasure, and thank you very much for your very interesting questions.

SPEAKER_02 9:40

Thank you. Okay, what's she gonna talk about? What's she gonna ask about?
