Without turning around, Mirtha GambaRand (97) asked Mercedes Morán (68) and Imanol Arias (67) if they are a couple. While one of them categorically denied it, the other hinted that there might be feelings outside of fiction.
The acting duo was guests at Mirtha’s night (El Trece), together with Fernán Quirós and Juan Leyrado. There they spoke and promoted the work of which they are protagonists together, Better not to say itthat Mirtha had gone to see the night before.
“What an ovation when they finish, it’s exciting”, opened the host. “And how people laugh. I returned to theater after a long time, I haven’t done theater for about six or seven years. AND What drove me was the desire to make comedy, to make people laugh.. Hearing laughter feels like healing energy to me,” Mercedes responded.
For his part, Imanol added that he has never done a comedy in the theater. “I am fascinated by the mechanism and the sensation it gives me. At the beginning I confess that the idea of having to live with a different rhythm bothered me. That is, you have an internal rhythm, a performance rhythm, and the audience sets another stage for you. Now, really, the days of rest, it’s true that I rest, but I miss them“, he commented in table.
Without filters, Mirtha got to the point and asked: “Are you dating?”. “No,” Morán replied. “Everyone wants it, we feel the pressure,” he added.
“It was published everywhere… I would love for them to go out together!“Chiqui continued and asked Arias why he remained silent.
Then, the actor surprised everyone with his response: “I already told you yesterday, it didn’t happen but I really like Mercedes“I admire her very much.” As Mercedes nervously laughed, Mirtha continued, “I’m Chiqui, the matchmaker.”
“It’s true that she is the only woman I kiss two or three times on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.. It’s new in my life because I live alone, I’m in a solitary phase of my life. I forced it a little…”, Imanol closed, causing laughter from those present.
Imanol Arias’ strong claim on the air to Mercedes Morán
In another part of the conversation, Mirtha highlighted the good physical condition of both actors, who do a lot of movement on stage. “They are very well physically, because they kneel, They stand up… I’m not saying this because they are bigger, far from it, but on stage it’s different”, said the host.
“We always talk about the rest of every movement, we do it day after day. I am many times. I remember on some construction site when I was younger I had to kneel down a lot. Once, twice, three times and, after a year, that knee starts to bother you,” Morán replied.
That anecdote helped Imanol make a strong statement to his partner in person: “To add a little icing on the cake, I’m going to say something that I didn’t say to Mercedes then because I didn’t want to…”
“At a certain point in the show we are in bed and, in an involuntary change of clothes, he hit me with his knee in the rib. I have nothing to protect my rib, I have been sleeping on my left side for four days,” concluded Arias.
Amid laughter, Mercedes launched: “He didn’t tell me anything but he chose to say it here so no one finds out!”. “It’s so they can see that what Mirtha says about the movements is true,” the actor concluded.
