Adria Arjona Shines in Her Role in *Los Frikis*
Adria Arjona has emerged as one of the most talented working actors today, and her latest film, *Los Frikis*, showcases her unique charm through the character Maria. With an effortless beauty that captivates audiences, Arjona’s portrayal is both refreshing and engaging. Recently, I had the opportunity to discuss this project with Arjona during its promotional release.
A Unique Presence Onscreen
Arjona possesses a remarkable ability to harness her natural beauty, which she interprets distinctively for each character she embodies. For example, in *Hit Man*, her character Madison uses her attractiveness as a strategic advantage, while in *Andor*, Bix tends to conceal it to navigate her circumstances. In contrast, *Los Frikis* embraces Maria’s beauty as a magnet that draws the attention of Gustavo, played by Eros De La Puente.
Embodying Maria: The Make-Up Process
During our conversation, Arjona elaborated on how her approach to Maria’s beauty informed her performance. She opted to do her own make-up for the film, believing that Maria’s character would naturally gravitate towards a more simplistic look, eschewing heavy cosmetics. She chose a light, natural style that reflected the character’s lifestyle and the challenges she faced in the film’s environment.
The Connection Between Maria and Gustavo
The relationship between Maria and Gustavo is significant, enriched with layers of affection and mutual joy. As Arjona described, “With Maria, it was more about the joy and love she offers him, as well as the maternal side that he appreciates.” This dynamic is pivotal, representing Maria’s newfound ability to seek pleasure and fulfillment for herself after dedicating her life to caring for others. The absence of make-up was crucial to her portrayal, emphasizing authenticity in Maria’s journey.
Director and Producer: A Hands-On Approach
Arjona explained her decision to manage her own make-up, acknowledging the extensive time typically allocated for these preparations. Taking on this role granted her the creative freedom to step into character seamlessly each day, aligning her performance closely with her vision for Maria.
