Kira Miró: “There were times when I felt lost, not knowing where to go”

Kira Miró is one of the best known national actresses thanks to her long professional career in theater, film and television. Despite her extensive experience as a performer, she acknowledges that staying on stage or in front of the cameras is still a daily challenge to overcome.

Fortunately for her and her thousands of followers, now going through a good streak in which she is not short of offers. While developing her latest film project, of which she still cannot advance many details, she goes to shoot another film in Zaragoza, all almost at the same time that she premieres ‘Todos lo hace’, the Martín Cuervo film that she recorded in the summer.

In addition, she combines the seventh art with her work on the small screen, where every week she surpasses herself by carrying out a new challenge in ‘El Hormiguero’. The last adventure in which Kira Miró has been involved comes from the hand of Orlando, who has made it an ambassador for its new range of products, Orlando Creaciones.

La Razón talks with Kira Miró about this and the other professional and vital challenges she has had to face.

– She has a very good professional streak, a non-stop. She is now an ambassador for Orlando Creaciones. Besides fried tomato, what other food cannot be missing from your fridge?

– You can never miss fruit and vegetables

– She is a woman who takes great care of herself

– I try … Now you see me (laughs while eating a chocolate cupcake)

– A whim does not hurt from time to time

-Sure, that’s … I do try to take care of myself and eat healthy. I try to exercise almost every day, five times a week.

-We saw her very fit in ‘The Challenge’. What was the toughest or hardest test you faced?

– It is that each challenge had its difficulty and they were all very different. From playing drums to climbing with hooks, the demands of each challenge have nothing to do with it. But hey, I guess the drummer was a beast because I never thought that I could get to play drums in a week and I got to play with Celtas Cortos, that is, it was a very special challenge and it was the final, so I have special affection for him.

– After ‘El Desafío’, it now has a fixed section in ‘El Hormiguero’, also with challenges. Where does this love for challenges come from?

– I don’t know, I’m finding out now (laughs). I did not know until now, I have always been a person who likes new things, learning new things … I travel a lot and I travel alone, I learn sports … But this about challenges, in the wake of ‘The Challenge’, I saw that it is something that I like and then with ‘El Hormiguero’ because I am delighted, at the same time that it is hard, but very beautiful and rewarding.

– We recently saw her hanging twenty meters high …

– That was a lot of fabric, because it was facing one of my great fears, heights, but then you see that fear has to go through it. You have to try not to paralyze you and that is part of the challenge as well.

– Pilar Rubio set the bar very high. Have you given any advice?

– Yes, we talked. In fact, I was with her last week and yes, she told me to try to enjoy it, because it’s hard, it’s putting in a lot of hours and practicing and then on the day of the live you can temper your nerves. Because it can come out in all rehearsals and training sessions, but when it comes to live and it doesn’t come out… That is the biggest challenge.

– Beyond the cameras, what is the biggest challenge you have faced in life?

– Well, I think that staying in this profession is the biggest challenge. To continue working and to be able to eat from my profession, which is to be an actress, and that is the greatest challenge in life.

– Have you ever felt trapped, with no way out? As in ‘Escape Room’, the play that stars in the Teatro Fígaro in Madrid …

– Yes, of course, there are moments in life when one is lost, with the anxiety of not knowing where to go or in a place where he does not want to be and wants to escape. I believe that life is a big escape room and you have to try to pass each test, and each test leads you to pass another test … We never leave the escape room.

– Is there anything left for you to do? Any thorn?

– I lack many directors to work with, I need to do terror, many characters that I would like to interpret, musical … The truth is that I do not know how to sing, but I set myself the challenge and I will try to sing.

– And beyond the professional, what remains to be done?

– Many trips. I love to travel and I have so much world to go I think I don’t have time to go to those places I want to go, because traveling is what nourishes me the most, what makes me grow the most and resets me from this madness of profession.

– What is the place that you have liked to visit the most?

– It’s very difficult, but the Philippines fascinated me, just like Australia. Brazil is a place I always go to because I already have it as my home. Cambodia also really liked …

– They are all exotic destinations, is it exotic?

– Yes, I like to go far and surround myself with nature. I don’t usually do tourism to big cities, but to the sea, to escape a bit, to be in cholas (flip-flops) and bikini.

– As in the Canary Islands, your homeland … How are you experiencing what happened to the La Palma volcano?

– I do not have direct relatives affected, but I do have friends of friends who are having a really bad time. It is tremendous and it gives me great helplessness and anguish to see what they are living there. From where I can, I try to contribute my bit, acting as a speaker in networks, making donations… Because no one can go there, so you can only help from a distance.
