Carles Sans remember a quote from Albert Pla (“People in life like anecdotes”) to explain the reasons that led him to create the show ‘Finally Alone!’: “I wanted to pay tribute to Tricicle while reviewing my life, my experiences, my anecdotes, to please the public who followed us all this time. They have been together for 43 years, with some friction but without any coexistence problems: “On a cushion of success it is easier to carry it, although the key is respect.”
But the real ‘culprit’ that Carles dared to take the step alone is Maria Antonitohis wife: «There was a time when I thought about retiring, although I am one of those who doesn’t know what to do at home. It occurred to her to make a compendium of curiosities, which I have been telling her all these years between jokes, so the idea is hers. And to break with the past, the word: “I couldn’t do the same thing I did in Tricicle, so now I can’t stop talking.”
“Humor is a way of seeing life, but for me it is also a way of making a living,” explains Carles, who defends humor above all else: “I’m not one to be funny, but I see everything with humor.” , it is the sharpest tool I have. “So I can say things that normally can’t be said.” If there is one trait of his personality that he is proud of, it is precisely his sense of humor. On the other hand, he acknowledges that he would like to change his insecurity: «We artists question ourselves, it is not a bad thing because it helps us improve, but doing it too much generates uncertainty. “It happens to those of us who depend on the public.”
Carles admits he is “impatient, I think I am long-suffering. “I think more about what can go wrong than what can go right.” He is a dreamer, “although with his feet on the ground, without imagining great fantasies because I am quite realistic.” He also considers himself “very affectionate with the people I like and who are affectionate with me, I like to reciprocate. “I give a lot of importance to friendship, I value it a lot because feeling accompanied in this world is food for the spirit.” And he is, furthermore, “a romantic without nonsense.”
His wife, who is a nutritionist, puts him on a diet that he strictly follows. They have each other: “We are a couple without children and that strengthens our union.” They have been married for more than 30 years and Carles continues to find reasons to stay in love: «I like everything about her. She is strong, but tender. “He is intelligent and knows how to take care of me.”
Carles finds peace in “control, stability, well-being, knowing that I am in good health. “I’m a bit of a hypochondriac.” And “the egomaniacs who only know how to think about themselves” drive him crazy. If he had to choose the memory he was going to leave behind, he opted for the sentimental side rather than the professional one: “As a good friend, as someone who contributed something, someone loved. Feeling loved is what I value most in this life. If you don’t love the rich or the poor, things are going badly for you. It is something that is clear to me in my life.
The photo: the handsome boy from the ads
As a child, that blonde boy attracted so much attention at that time that his mother took him to advertising castings to take advantage of his exotic beauty: “They ended up calling from school because I was skipping classes for tests or for make the advertisements for ‘La Casera’ or ‘Cola Cao.’ Recording them was very boring because you had to wait for the lighting, repeat the same shot a thousand times… The good thing was when it came on TV, because then I became the local hero and had many little friends. Thus, early on, he discovered fame. With his bearing and his resume, they counted on him as a presenter at the school festivals. «As a child he was very entangled, although he was naughty. Then, as a teenager, I became more tremendous and the clown inside me came out.
Carles Sans as a child
When his family moved to Barcelona, Carles kept Badalona as his refuge: «My gang was there. “I spent all my time on the street, playing ball, smoking secretly… It was a time of which I have good memories.” Since his brothers were older, at home he got used to playing alone: ”They passed me by, so that forced me to develop my inventiveness.” He was a boarder in a mixed school and knew love, but from afar: «Boys and girls were in different wards, but we coincided on the bus that took us back and forth, or on Sundays at the cinema. “I was dying of shame and I never dared to do anything.” They called him ‘The Filipino’, because of the features in his eyes, a nickname that accompanied him during his boarding school years.
