-His character is one of the favorites of fans of the saga. How did he get it?
-It is something that I owe to the writers who have created a fabulous world around a character with whom many identify. Jacob is normal, he has the same mentality as any other human being. I consider myself very fortunate in that this role allows me to feed my creative anxiety. It’s really magical to be part of this franchise.
-What can you tell us about this new episode?
-I am excited for its premiere, because it marks the path to where we want to go with the rest of the films. This third installment delves into the mythology of the characters. All of us who have participated are very happy with the result, because it is darker than the previous ones. The relationships between the protagonists become more complicated. I have been able to express Jacob in another way. When I read the script I was fascinated with the development they have made of my character.

We are heading towards a massive war against the backdrop of World War II. So you can imagine epic battle scenes ahead. We will see how that course affects Jacob.

Are you interested in the world of magic?
I’m interested in fantasy and science fiction. Sagas like ‘Star Wars’ or ‘Matrix’ were my childhood favourites. I’ve always leaned towards this type of genre, but I’m not an expert in the wizarding universe. I think that in a world as volatile as the one we live in, spending two hours in the cinema with your mind focused on the fantasy of Harry Potter is a delight.
-If you could go back in time and play the role of any of Harry Potter’s original teachers at Hogwarts, who would it be?
-I would say that Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) has the best development within the saga. I would love to dye my hair black and flip it all over the place all the time ha ha. My second choice would be Rubeus Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane). I would love to be gigantic and tall, towering over everyone.

-When you were a child, if someone asked you what you wanted to be, what was your answer?
-You know, I always had a strange sense of humor. He’d say first, ‘Yeah, I want to be a firefighter’ and then ‘if that doesn’t work out… I’m going to join the ballet’ ha ha!. She was always trying to get the laugh right from the start. She knew that she wanted to entertain people. I guess I’ve actually always wanted to be a comedian.
-He has lost a lot of weight since he released the first film until now. Has it been a forced decision for a film role?
-No. I did it for health reasons. With a nutritionist I have been practicing intermittent fasting. I was addicted to junk food and processed foods, and one day I decided that I had to take care of myself. I think I was very afraid of catching covid. I changed my diet and lost 20 kilos eliminating pizzas, soft drinks and hamburgers.
