Luca, son of Nancy Dupláa and Matías Martin, tries his hand as a TV presenter, even though he confesses that he doesn’t watch much TV

“Sometimes I feel like Alf. Because I was born into this world a little alien to reality, like Melmac, “he states. Luca Martino compared to the environment that saw him grow, it is son of Matías Martín and Nancy Dupláa– with a parallel planet.

But far from being out of tune – or carrying with him the prejudices of others that “cannot be fought against” – the histrionic young man, who this Monday 8 January at 2.45pm will debut on El Trece as a pilot in a duo with his father (a The legacy) What that world fit him “like a glove”.

“The original proposal was to my old man and the word legacy sounded good to him to do something together. We always fantasize about the idea and want it to be genuine. Like any father-son with arguments, doubts, love and affection. There is so much in our life that it would be quite psychotic to exclude it from the program, “says he, already with a radio background-7 years after his debut as a commentator– it’s at sea ​​of ​​verbiage that dismisses his new spins by knocking out in front of the camera.

Rewarding knowledge, he clarifies, is not the only hook of the program (based on the original format published by Jorge Guinzburg in 2002) in which the aim is to accumulate other people’s bullion, in pairs of fathers or mothers and children, and then exchange them for cash.

“There are parts that have been changed to fit the family dynamic, and that’s just the way it is the turning point. Moreover we got a spicy format, with duels and a rather wicked final guillotine”.

centenary by definition, but grew up among televisionshe plays down the first recording in Kuarzo’s studios, making his plastered hand humorous.

“I had to go to a sanatorium to get checked out because I fractured my fourth metacarpal at Christmas, playing with friends and I have two weeks left like this. But everything went well and I feel very comfortable”, he warns before his debut which, far from being eventful, doubles his confidence.

-Does this security make your arrival on television easier?

-Not so much, because it’s not exactly the first time I’ve done TV. I was at Canal Encuentro to make content, films and sets about the pandemic and I accompanied my parents during the filming. Aside from radio training, the camera has never bothered me.

-You don’t feel hot wearing your pilot suit.

–I literally goat a lot, but that comes before the cause haha. More than warmth it gives me comfort. I’ve always been talkative and I’m still long-winded and insufferable, but I know how to control it more. It’s something you don’t notice, like the first time you tie your shoes and then it’s just muscle memory.

-Doing it as a couple and with your father – an expert in front of the cameras – gives it another entity?

-It definitely makes it more bearable. It’s a second hand that supports you. I may sound corny, but my old man is there to protect me, help me. In English it would be said to lift me up, get up. And we have never worked at such a good pace.

-Come to El Trece afternoons, but you belong to a generation that does not consume open television. I see you watching Twitch more than “Big Brother”.

-Now, because I’m in a very intense relationship and my partner studied journalism, I see snippets of it Big Brother AND Blessed. I haven’t watched television for a long time and it’s a small bubble that represents an important side of reality to take into account. Even if the Twitch content I see is foreign, but why I’m a stupid snob, not because the content here is bad.

-At first, “Totò” Kirzner, son of Adrián Suar, chose to wait to work on the Polka. In your case, you were the one who insisted and your father laid down a cold cloth.

-My old man is responsible and he won’t let a 13 year old kid go on the air and say something. I’m very self-critical and I never asked him, until I was 16. One day he trusted that I had something to say and I started with movie columnswhich I still adore today because I love talking about films.

In fact, even intertwining calls with Clarionin Luca’s room some repeated saga of Die Hard. Nothing new in the usual cinema programming.

«Today being a cinephile loses a bit of meaning with the cinephilia of Twitter and this adoration of directors or certain art forms», warns those who, between new films and the usual classics, he estimates he saw more than 400 films last year alone. “In my opinion Letterboxd (Movie application) During the year I saw 257 films that I had never seen before,” the data confirms.

But exclusivity is not a concept that Luca, passionate about “abstract” drawing and fantastic worlds, embraces as a philosophy. “I love drawing characters and I love maps. I was a community manager, producer, camera assistant and director. I also wanted to be a voice actor and I was in a rock band, but The music I make now, secretly, is just for me”, he clarifies.

-Are you a “todist”? How does Lali Espósito define himself.

-At all. I liked to say I was an idiot handymanwhich translates in a very bad way to “multipurpose”. It’s a reference to poker. But I don’t consider myself a “todista”, but rather more than a master of anyone.

-Is directing on your radar? Do you see yourself leading teams? Your mother, Nancy Dupláa, is a great cast captain.

-I repeat the epic phrase: “What do you want to do? Follow or lead?” I want to do my own thing. Promote groupthink, but without abandoning individualism.

Of his mother, an icon of Argentine fiction, he reveals: “A cosmic social coincidence makes me laugh, but I start this journey on the Trece canal, at 11pm, and my mother is also the same age, on the same canal. “This gives me confidence.”

-You participated in “The Manager” and “Almost Happy”. Did you meet her on any fictional sets?

-I was in two episodes of Graduates, with my face for a second, and then into a wedding scene that needed to be completed. Also I shared the film with Pablo (Echarri, her mother’s husband) I’m not your mother, no scenes together. But my film debut had arrived The angelwhich is cheating because the scene was deleted.

mixed family

With a double house: his parents separated when he was little and Matías has just ended his marriage Natalia Graziano– says Luca the solidity of the whole.

“I have never considered myself an only child because every house I went to had brothers. I always make a joke about thinking I’m handsome and saying I’m the bastard. Morena, Julián (Nancy’s children), Mía and Alejo (Matías’ children) They are my brothers in life and death. It’s a cliché, but family is the most important thing.”

-You said that you were born in a world “alien to reality” due to the fame that surrounds you. Do you win more or less with those cards?

-Socially I can earn less and I have had very difficult work situations. As if what you have you didn’t earn. There is a prejudice among people; Believe what you believe and you won’t be able to fight with that.

-Is it easier to share work with your father now that you’re not going through adolescence?

-It’s better. AND you realize how stupid you were with each passing year. But being self-critical has helped me, and I’m grateful that I’m no longer a teenager. I have spent much of my life sad and angry at myself. and I recently learned to value.

-Angry in what sense?

-One is a teenager and hates everything he does. My body, my hair, you don’t know how to talk to a girl or boy you like. One day you relax and, sorry old man, I stole it from you, but you grow up and everything goes away.

And he closes: “At 23 years old I don’t consider myself to have failed at anything. Initially I wanted to talk to you about my figure, but I’m 23 years old… I can lose weight or not lose weight and be happy my whole life.. Be any Moldavsky and be happy like that. Which, in fact, makes me feel more comfortable with the idea every day.”
