"Easy Money III feels very good"







Matias Varela got her big break in "Easy Money" where he plays Jorge, and soon he is involved with the sequel "Fast Cash II" and also with the closing film "Fast Cash III" which will premiere earlier than 2013.



MovieZine took a chat with Varela to find out what happens to his character in the sequels, and who he would want to see that Jorge in the American version of "Easy Money".



What do you do now that you are not recording "Easy Money 2"?



- Before we did "Easy Money 2" I filmed "Arne Dahl" and it was a very long record, but probably the funniest thing I ever did. I'm a cop and it was fun to do the total opposite, but also to play a character for so long. So you really got to know his character. We filmed ten parts of 90 minutes each directed by different directors, but it was just great. In this way keeps the production commitment, the next person to take over the baton is burning even more than the previous one.



It's the same approach with "Easy Money", where you have different directors for each film.



- Exactly, it's the same thing there. It is Babak (Najafi) who have made second place and it's been fantastic to work with him. Very different, but still very enjoyable. Now it's Jens Jonsson to third gear, a completely new person. Damn good.



Have you met Jens Jonsson yet?



- We've met a lot and we've talked a lot about the script. He has been very involved. All three directors have written a lot of the script. They are as I understand it received very free rein and got to work on the script and develop it into a script they want to work with. And I think it's good, because then grow their dedication and involvement of the whole. Then we walked away from the books too and that makes it an artistic freedom, they would not have had if they had received an original script in his hands. Now they could create their own abilities.







Will you also be part of developing your character Jorge?



- Yes, in all humility, we try to help as far as you can. To develop both the character and the whole together with regissörren, in this case, Jens. It has been fun to work with the script and also with Joel (Kinnaman) that I have worked with for three years now.



How does the script for "Fast Cash III"?



- It feels really good. It's the final part of a trilogy, so there is much to do. The whole world will be summarized and end it with dignity and I think Jens is the right man for the job. First, he is a tremendous director, since he is an amazing writer. I think it was the right choice of director. I have enormous confidence in him.



When you begin to play this number?



- That I do not know. It is very dates back and forth. There are many people that will be available simultaneously, but they probably have an idea when this will happen. I understand that for that to happen in 2012, but when it's hard for me to say. But the script is almost finished.



How important will you have the number three?



- My character, Jorge grow much from the first film. He is more a key role in second grade than he is at number one. He is having much more the second and the third-place, he is even more, as it stands now, anyway. People liked the character, so he will be with more people dying, and of course in this fucking story. It's not "Gota Canal." After a while, there are not many leading roles there. The number one died a handful and in second grade, it is even more. One should not spoila, but number three is not that many left. So the story revolves around the people who have survived. Since it has been a few years. The first film is all young and do not have full control of the situation and in second grade you get to see the consequences of what was done in the first beat. It's been a really long time since the first beat and they have developed as people. The number three you get to see what men these boys have become and how they live their lives.



So there are a number of years between the second and third?



- The time between the second and third, than there is between number one and number two.







How do you feel when the third movie is over?



- I think it will be very mixed. Since there are three main characters, everyone has their favorite. Then it's not the movie exactly as the book, but it would be the film would be 7.5 hours long. It is difficult to describe a book that is 5-600 pages.



Gets the number three thing from the books?



- Yes. It's another form of storytelling, so it is more inspired by Jens Lapidus books than plain film of them. Viewers will not have a clue what will happen, so it will probably be a guessing game. The film takes place over a short period so it feels like everything is faster. One feels that the clock is ticking for all characters.



You have also been featured in an episode of agent series "Covert Affairs," talk about it.



- Their resources are amazing. During filming, two cars to go into each other and I would hang out a window, in the middle of a street with people everywhere. I asked the director how many shots we had. He smiles a little and takes me to a parking lot where there were five Range Rovers and five Mercedes. "Ah, we have five takes," he says. Brand-new automobiles.



"Easy Money" has obviously opened many doors for you.



- What I am incredibly grateful that I can work as an actor in Sweden at all. Before I made "Fast Cash" I had quite a lot of experience, but I had not worked regularly as an actor. It is something that has happened for "Easy Money" and it is fantastic to feed on what you like. It is so rare luxury, people tend to forget it. Of course I have bad days, but that's when you can pinch himself in the arm and think about that one actually has dried pensionärsröv in public home for two years. When it gets overtime for a few hours you can hear the old artists who can whine about it. And they ask me if I do not have any other plans, I say no more important plans than to continue my career.



Who would you like to see in the role of Jorge in the American version of "Easy Money"?



- I would imagine Diego Luna, Javier Bardem and Gael Garcia Bernal. Benicio Del Toro feels natural, but he is 20 years older than me. He is almost 50 now, so would definitely be difficult. It's so bizarre that someone will do the role you've recorded. And I do not even know who Zac Efron is a Disney guy. I have no check on who the hell he is. I saw a lot of posters when I was in the U.S. on a creamy love roll that looked nasty bad.



What roles would you like to play in the future?



- I'm a bit of an omnivore, I must say. I have not joined drama school or worked much with theater, so it would be cool to get to test it. I would also like to be in a comedy or a costume film in the 1200s with a bloody sword. It's fun to play nice, but it's also fun to play evil. Because you can do things you never do in real life and get away with it. I murdered someone, not so long ago, and ten minutes later, we sat and had coffee and it's hard to do that in real life.

INTERVIEW WITH MATIAS "JORGE" VARELA.

Our friend and star actor Matte Padin as we know him lined up on an interview with me. So he came here so we sat down and did the interview together.



It felt a bit like a arbetsinterjvuv, I'm not used to interview either but knows a lot of fun so people will see if more people want to answer some questions. How was this intervjuven anyway.

Name: Matias Varela

Age: 30 years

Occupation: Actor

Status: Sambo



How did you get into the acting profession?

- I have had a great interest in films since I was a little boy. My former best friend Kim had a huge VHS collection. It was there it started but later grew an interest for acting up when I got to know Gustaf Skarsgård and his family.

Gustav Skarsgård's a tokhet actress. It sounds like you as a friend, how good friends are you?

But how did you become an actor, did you set on a stage school?

- Yes I did but I was too bad so nothing came of it.

But you've undoubtedly had a success in the profession, when did it begin?

- My first job huh TV4 soap recent times. It was my bootcamp it was there I learned the basics, a job I neglected a lot, very much, so much that they wrote me out of the series.

Then disappeared for a while. What happened then? What did you do during that time?

- Yes that is true, I disappeared. After NT (New Times), I had some money left, and went to Southeast Asia to find myself, it went like that! ... When I got home I relax job as Spanish teacher with the construction industry. But during that time I had some small roles in Swedish films, among them our friends in Hoffmaestros first film Stockholm Boogie.

You've got that I understood some friends with pretty cool success in your profession, it's been hard to stand in the shadow of them?

- No! It has been inspiring to see that it really possible to succeed. Someone konkurans it has not been much since we have not auditioned for the roles.

For those who do not know so can you tell me about your relationship to Salon Concrete.

- Bleckan I have known each other since their teens in the south. Danny I got to know when Bleckan moved in 1650, and so I have obviously fallen salon since day 1.

How many sting solutions do you have? And can you tell me about them?

- I have a rose on the bacon, a bambugaddad dragon / seahorse-calf (spiritual-find-me-myself-in-asia-conspiracy) and then a friend's sting, but my best best best friend Oscar Borg, then the beautiful SB logo, valeu bird and a beende Maria and text below.




(Beende maria with text)


(Handknackad rosgadd in 1650)



How is it that you got the part of Jorge in Easy Money?



- I va on holiday in Spain with my family and was told that fast would be a movie. I started calling around like an idiot in an attempt to get hold of Daniel Espinosa. I got hold of him and he said he needed a Chilean. After many demanding auditions, I finally got the job.



How to work with Daniel Espinosa and the rest of the team who worked on the film?



- It va the best thing I've done so far. Daniel is a wonderfully gifted regisör and a very good friend. The va many of us in front of the camera who knew each other from before, me and Joel Kinnaman are very good friends since high school, we have many times when we were younger buzzing about how fat it would be to make a film together.

What does the movie for you, how has it changed your life?

- It has given me the opportunity to continue to work with what I love and it is a rare luxury, so it does what seems like forever.

I know many think that you become wealthy now, is that correct?

- HAHA no, unfortunately not! I just want to make a living doing what I do.

Can you feel that you have changed as a person after doing this role?

- Yes I've got more confidence, and maybe hopefully a little more self-awareness.

Just how recognizable you are to this movie?

- Sigh, pretty, pretty asså jo more than I had thought, that's a konsikvens in this profession. But almost all are very beautiful when they come forward.

Could it be a pain to go around town, or being out and stick?

- I do not go out as much anymore, but it is based mostly on that I Inv-term working more or less all the time and must prioritize other than a party right now.

Can you tell us about your future?

- Yes, I can fuck do and it's really positive. I just started filming the A group, based on Arne Dahl's books, it is film's producer and it's really fun they're crazy good at what they do, fun to work with such experienced and knowledgeable people. I play police in this project, a really cool challenge.

"It's not sorry for me because I get ethno-roller"



Matias Varela was fired from a B-soap production, became a construction worker but nagged at an audition in "fast cash". Nu kommer uppföljaren, och ingen ifrågasätter hans skådespelarkompetens. Now comes the sequel, and nobody questions his acting skills.
Som liten pojke bodde Matias Varela granne med en timid pojke och hans mamma, som var konstnär och målade teaterdekor. As a little boy lived Matias Varela neighbor with a timid boy and his mother, who was an artist and painted theater decoration. Matias var en mer utåtagerande typ, men inte heller han hade funnit sig till rätta i skolan. Matias was a more outward-acting type, but not even he had settled in school. Pojkarna brukade titta på film ihop, för grannmamman hade en enorm filmsamling på vhs. The boys used to watch movies together, for the neighboring mother had a huge movie collection on VHS.

Och där i lägenheten på Sofiagatan föddes Matias Varelas filmintresse – och intresset för skådespeleri, en konst han sedan dess har krampat sig fast vid, men först under de senaste åren kunnat försörja sig på. And there in the apartment on Sophia Street was born Matias Varela movie interest - and interest in acting, an art he has since clamped fast to, but only in recent years been able to support themselves. Men nu går det bra, och han har druckit champagne i Cannes, filmat i USA och lärt känna folk. But that's OK, and he has been drinking champagne in Cannes, filmed in the U.S. and got to know people. I augusti går ”Snabba cash II” upp på dukarna och strax därpå börjar inspelningen av del tre. In August the "Fast Cash II" up on the canvases and soon after starting the recording of part three. I sommar filmar han med Jörgen Bergmark, som regisserar en av Camilla Läckbergs deckare. This summer he films with Jörgen Bergmark, who directs one of Camilla Leak's detective stories.

Matias Varela has almond-shaped brown eyes and black, tight sweater. Han säger att han har gått upp femton kilo på ett par år (gymmade muskler, alltså). He says he has gone up fifteen pounds in two years (gymmade muscles, that is). I Läckbergfilmen gör han en sviken svenne, ett trendbrott mot tidigare mer eller mindre stereotypa latinos, inklusive den kriminelle chilenaren Jorge. In Läckberg film he makes a disappointed Svenne, a trend towards earlier more or less stereotypical Latinos, including the criminal Chilean Jorge.

– Min pappa kom hit för att jobba på sjuttiotalet och pendlade mellan Sverige och Spanien, där han träffade min mamma. - My father came here to work in the seventies and commuted between Sweden and Spain, where he met my mother. När jag föddes övertalade han henne att stanna här. When I was born, he persuaded her to stay here. Jag tror inte att hon har förlåtit honom för det än i dag. I do not think she has forgiven him for that today.

Han växte upp på Söder men i en spansk kultur där man verkligen inte åt middag klockan sex, och lärde sig inte ordentlig svenska förrän i skolåldern. He grew up in the South but in a Spanish culture that really did not eat dinner at six, and did not learn proper Swedish until school age.

– Vi brukar säga att vi äter vid nio, men det händer ju aldrig. - We often say that we eat at nine, but it never happens. Tio, halv elva? Ten semi-eleven? Jag har svårt att säga att jag är svensk, jag är stockholmare och galicier. I can hardly say that I am Swedish, I'm locals and Galicians. Jag känner mig lika lite hemma i Göteborg som i Madrid. I feel no more at home in Gothenburg and Madrid.

Kontakten med Spanien har alltid varit tät, och på den galiciska vischan hade han som barn betydligt högre status än i Stockholm. Contact with Spain has always been tight, and in the Galician countryside, he had as a child significantly higher status than in Stockholm. Dyslektiker men flerspråkig, utåtagerande och energisk men utan att se poängen med tråkigt skolarbete gick han ut nian med låga betyg. Dyslexic but multilingual, acting out, and energetic but not see the point of boring school work, he went out nine with low grades.

– Jag gick i högstadiet på Eriksdalsskolan, som var en testosteronstinn skola med 3 000 elever. - I went to high school at Eriksdalsskolan, who was a testosterone-fueled school with 3000 pupils. I den djupa djungeln av hormoner lärde jag känna Gustaf. In the deep jungles of hormones I met Gustaf. Jag hade ingen aning om vem hans pappa var, jag kände över huvud taget inte till svensk kultur. I had no idea who his father was, I knew not at all to Swedish culture. Hemma kollade vi på spansk satellit-tv. At home we watched the Spanish satellite television. Jag sa väl ”restaurang” om vad min pappa gjorde, han sa ”lite teater, lite film”. I said well "restaurant" about what my dad did, he said "a little theatrical, a little movie." Hans pappa var en kompisfarsa, en som lagade mat, bara det var lite av en chock. His father was a friend's dad, who was cooking, but it was a bit of a shock.

Gustaf, vars efternamn är Skarsgård, skulle söka Södra latins teaterlinje. Garfield, whose surname is Skarsgård, would seek Södra Latin theater line.

– Det ville jag också, och tänkte att jag kunde göra någon scen ur ”Scarface”. - I wanted too, and thought I could do a scene from "Scarface." Men nej, sa Gustaf, man får några scener. But no, said Gustaf, you get a few scenes. Det var sådant som ”Lång dags färd mot natt” och ”Måsen”. There were things like "Long Day's Journey into Night" and "The Seagull".

Gustafs pappa Stellan tog sig an Matias någon timma och var väl inte vidare nöjd, men någon vecka senare hade den unge adepten lärt sig (om än inte begripit) texten. Gustaf's father Stellan took on the Matias an hour and was well not be satisfied, but a week later, the young apprentice learned (if not understood) text.

– Jag blir aggressiv när jag är nervös, så jag kom till provet som en kicker med hakan i vädret, tuffa Adidas och såg ut som om jag kunde slåss. - I get aggressive when I'm nervous, so I got to the sample as a kicker with his chin in the air, tough Adidas and looked as if I could fight.

Men han kom in. But he entered. Södra latin blev en kulturkrock, men han fann sig, även om han skolkade från det mesta som inte var teater. Southern Latin was a culture shock, but he found himself, although he played truant from everything that was not theater. På Södra blev han också uppraggad av en talangscout för en roll i TV4-produktionen ”Nya tider”, och i den spanska byn skröt han om att han skulle bli tv-stjärna. In the South, he also picked up by a talent scout for a role in TV4 production "New times", and in the Spanish village, he boasted that he would become a TV star. Men han blev kortvarig i såpan efter att ha kommit på kant med teamet. But he was short-lived in the soap after being at odds with the team. Flydde landet ett par år, knegade inom hemtjänsten och på byggen. Fled the country a few years, knegade in home care and on construction sites. Han visar handflator med förhårdnader. He shows the palms of calluses. Han fick några småroller. He got a few småroller.

Så på en semester läste han ”Snabba cash” och fick veta att den skulle bli film. So on a vacation, he read "fast cash" and was told that it would be a movie. Ringde produktionsbolaget och sa att han måste få göra Jorge. Did the production company and said he had to get to Jorge. Fick till svar: ”Ja, ja, det är bra, ring inte oss, vi ringer dig.” Was answered: "Yes, yes, that's fine, do not call us, we'll call you."

– Jag visste att Daniel Espinosa, som regisserade, ville ha en chilenare i rollen, men det var som om jag inte förstod vad han sa. - I knew Daniel Espinosa, who directed, wanted a Chilean in the role, but it was as if I did not understand what he said. ”Ja, men när ska jag provfilma?” ”Jamen”, sa Daniel, ”jag ska ha en chilenare…” ”Men jag ska provfilma?” Jag tvingade honom. "Yes, but when should I test shoot? '" Well, "said Daniel," I'm going to have a Chilean ... "" But I'll screen test? "I forced him.

– Sedan satt jag i en körlift på tjugo meters höjd vid Skärholmengallerian, utan körkort och pluggade manus. - I sat in a körlift of twenty meters at Skärholmen mall, without a license and was studying the script. Jag gjorde åtta provfilmningar, det var en scenskolan crash course. I did eight auditions, it was a drama school crash course. Jag har aldrig lärt mig så mycket. I have never learned so much.

Och han grät när rollbeskedet kom, och säger nu att ”Snabba cash” är den mest avgörande händelsen i hans liv, som konstnär och som människa. And he cried when the role of decision came, and now says that "fast cash" is the most decisive event in his life, as an artist and as a person. Filmen har blivit en nyckel också till Amerika, och Matias Varela har provfilmat i det gigantiska maskineri som är Hollywood. The film has become a key also to America, and Matias Varela has been sampled filmed in the giant machine that is Hollywood. Fast en gång behövde han inte det: Although once he did not need it:

– Jag låg på en strand i Spanien med min mamma när de ringde och sa att jag skulle till Toronto. - I was lying on a beach in Spain with my mother when they called and said I was going to Toronto. Nu. Nu. Det var bara att plocka ihop badbrallorna och åka. It was just to pick up badbrallorna and go.

Något dygn senare satt han på ett fläskigt hotell i Kanada för en liten roll i den amerikanska actionserien ”Covered affairs”, och inledde filmningen ett par dagar senare med en stuntkrävande biljakt som avslutades med kraschade fordon, en sprutande vattencistern och tömda magasin. Some days later he was sitting in a fläskigt hotels in Canada for a small role in the American action series "Covered affairs," and started filming a few days later with a stunt demanding car chase that ended with the crashed vehicle, squirting water cistern and empty magazines.

– Jag frågade dem försiktigt hur många tagningar vi hade – regissören såg förstrött omkring sig och räknade Mercorna. - I asked them gently how many shots we had - the director glanced carelessly around and counted Mercorna. Tio tagningar. Ten shots. Ingen blinkade när första bilen kvaddades redan under repetitionen. Nobody blinked when the first car kvaddades during rehearsal. Han skrattar och skakar på huvudet. He laughs and shakes his head.

Nyligen tillbringade han några veckor i Los Angeles med provfilmningar som mer liknade vittneskonfrontationer än rollbesättning. Recently, he spent several weeks in Los Angeles auditions more like a witness confrontations than casting. Ibland blev han tillbakakallad för en andra vända, men deppade ändå efter tre veckor för att inte ha fått en enda roll – men blev tillsagd att sluta gnälla, i LA hänger folk i fem sex år utan jobb. Sometimes he was called back for a second turn, but still very depressed after three weeks of not having received a single role - but was told to stop whining, in LA hanging people for five or six years without a job.

Men Matias Varela är också sugen på teater och vill inte släppa Sverige . Han talar om sig själv som intellektuell, dramatikintresserad och skulle gärna regissera teater. But Matias Varela is also keen on theater and will not let Sweden. He speaks of himself as an intellectual, interested in drama and would like to direct the theater. Och han återkommer till vad han har lärt sig under de senaste åren, alla han har träffat och lärt känna, inte minst erfarna skådespelare. And he will come back to what he has learned in recent years, all he has met and gotten to know, not the least experienced actor.

– Många kanske störs av det, men jag har svårt att se skådespeleri som ett jobb. - Many people may be disturbed by it, but I can not see acting as a job. Det är så lustfyllt, så privilegierat. It is so pleasurable, so privileged. Jag tycker inte synd om mig själv för att jag får etnoroller: För tre och ett halvt år sedan jobbade jag på byggen. I do not feel sorry for myself because I get ethnic roles: For three and a half ago, I worked on building sites. Många i min bransch tar sig själva på alldeles för stort allvar. Many in my industry take themselves far too seriously. Jag har världens roligaste jobb, men jag räddar inga människor. I have the best job, but I'll save nobody.

Jorge's role gets bigger in "Fast Cash III '

Moviezine

Alexander Dunerfors



MovieZine talking to Matias Varela on Guldbagge nomination for Best Actor, his competitors and the role of "Fast Cash - Life deluxe".

DVD-current "Fast Cash II" has a couple of chances to win the upcoming Guldbaggegalan.

When MovieZine speaks with actor Matias Varela he hopes that the third film could also have chance to be Best Picture. But he is happy that his contribution as Jorge attention:
- It's so surreal to be nominated for this kind of thing. I am very happy and surprised.

"Easy Money II" just became also voted the best Swedish film 2012 by our readers.
- Oh, what fun! Thank you, people!

What do you think about your competition, you've seen "Avalon" and "Good luck and take care of each other"?
- I have not. I do not know these people at all. Or, I know who John Brost is. I know who this Bengt also, but have not seen much of them. I am assuming of course, from one of them wins it. But it's always good to have a name that sounds a bit foreign. I have heard that John Brost will be great in "Avalon," I wish him all the best.

What Guldbagge nominations do you miss the "Fast Cash II"?
- It would have been fun if it was nominated for Best Picture. It was not number one either. It is a bit disappointing, but on the other hand, we are happy for all the nominations that we can get in our little "Fast Cash" family. I know I speak for everyone when I say it. We can only hope that the third grade can be nominated for Best Picture. Now we have the last chance here.

We talked a bit about "Fast Cash - Life deluxe" before you began recording, but now you're well almost finished?
- Yes, and it feels great. It will be a completely different story. It feels like the first and second horse is a movie, and third is a separate movie. I also think viewers will find that much has changed. Jorge will be a completely different person. He cut himself short, grow up, stop taking the drugs. I hope and believe that it will be received in a good way. I hope so. We shall see! Damn do I know? I have no answers, haha. But I think it deserves it, Jens Jonsson's a great director who I have been fortunate enough to work with. He has been so amazing cute that he has placed me in the script process, it's been fun to write for the first time.

Who has the biggest role?
- I have the biggest role, on paper anyway. But I do not feel that I pull a heavier load than anyone else. In a way, birolls-Guldbaggen the major acting prize, it's not hard to be good when you have an entire film revolves around a self. My easiest trip so far in my career has been the "Fast Cash 3". You can not compare how much tougher it was to make the number one example. Much revolves around Jorge at number three.
Matias Varela has a chance at a Guldbagge January 21. Gala TV is broadcast in BBC1 starting at. 20:00.

Today he is the current in the films about Arne Dahl sent on SVT and in the American television series The Borgias as Showtime produces. , most successful actor in today's film industry since an early age, studied at drama school for drama school and got good final grade - but it has not fast cash-current Matias Varela done.

- As a kid, I went on Eriksdalsskolan and had no very great school, says Matias. The school had too large classes, and that I was in 7G, says a lot. Besides, I had dyslexia, which was something that it is not talked about at the time. The teachers probably thought that I was stupid and DIFFICULT but did not believe that I had a diagnosis.

Lousy ratings
After elementary school, he began like many others in high school. Matias had lousy ratings ninth grade and thought it was over but still sought to theater line at Södra Latin.There he was making an entrance test which was added to the primary grades. This made the score a little higher and he had to start at the school through a reserve. He was getting kicked out a few times and that the student was a bit like that:

- I was certainly there, wasted and with a cap on his head, but I never got my final grades, have not even seen them, he says.

All we had something we wanted to be as big when we were little. It even had Matias.

- I had a friend whose mother was a painter at the Royal Dramatic decor and home with him we always watched on VHS movies. I think this is thanks to the family I became interested in film and I often stood in front of the mirror and drove replicas and tried to play like that ball like they are including Scarface.

- Who was the idol?

- Al Pacino and Robert De Niro were my favorites. I can see more like them than other movie stars, which made it easier for me to recognize myself in them while my dad is a lot like Al Pacino.

The actor's job

Years passed, Matias was older and had a chance at their first real job as an actor when a talent scout came to school. She was looking for contributors to the soap New times and asked if Matias wanted to screen test for a role.

- I declined as I thought I would be bullied for the rest of my life. Then I saw myself as pretty cool, I thought it was ridiculous with soap. But after talking with a couple of adults, we came to the conclusion that I would screen test. And I got the job. however, did not last the re-launch his career as a young actor as long as he is after two years, was fired. Matias tells himself that he was very annoying to have and deal with. He had a little too high ambition and wondered if he really would say this and do that. He had opinions on everything and realized later that it was not possible to control and adjust on their own.

- No one had prepared me for what it meant to work as an actor. Many young actors come from cultural families and have a different understanding of what is required while I was completely unprepared. My parents were even shocked by my choice to become an actor and wondered almost what the hell I was thinking?

Damn happy!

- Are not you a little glad you got fired from New times then?

- Fucking happy! Mainly because I learned to know my place! I learned that being an actor is actually a profession. You go to work to perform an act for others that actually pays you and then you can not lalla around. They taught me thus a very important lesson, which I obviously did not understand until years later. You can see what I came from reality, had little vacation during the filming of New times and then I was thrown out into the real world again. Years after the series I became an adult and who I am today. So I'm glad I got fired for a few years to devote myself to things that are not so fun, but you have to do to survive.

Years passed and Matias worked among other things as Spanish teachers, support teachers of students who had the difficult and construction worker until one day he heard about Fast cash-books would become a film series. He felt it was his last chance and he did not get the role as Jorge, he might as well lay down and continue acting in the construction industry.

- I called the production company Three friends and asked if I had a screen test, but they were not at all eager to have me in the movie. But later I found out that it was Daniel Espinosa, who would direct it and we knew each other superficially previously. So I felt I just had to call him.

Found him in the mud

Matias was told that Daniel Espinosa would go to a film festival in Dalarna and Matias went by:

- First I went and bought a tvåmanstält though I have never been camping, bought a train ticket, went to Dalarna and looked for Daniel in the mud. When I found him, we started talking and I asked for a screen test. And he said yes.

Test filming process was quite long and Matias got to try all eight times. Although it was Daniel Espinosa still not convinced.

- I remember I was working on the building during that time and went around and was a work hazard for everyone when I constantly read the script on the site. Not entirely safe just. After two months, I finally got the role after a rather long and difficult process.

- How similar are you and Jorge as persons?

- Not much I would say. He is admittedly second-generation immigrant and I am too. Then I course during my childhood been through things I can relate to when I play the role of Jorge. To get his dialect Chileans I socialized a lot with Chileans. Sometimes it was hard to disconnect the Spanish I'm used to from Spain and instead talk to the Chilean Spanish. Several times yelled Daniel:

- Bryyyt, you're not from Madrid, you're from Chile!

- How close did you get your character?

- Near. I remember a scene I thought was really tough and it was when Dragomir Mrsic hit me in the woods, in the first film. I thought it was shit time when I felt so humiliated and has several times since then dreamed of beating him down. But not private course.

He continues to tell with a little insidious smile:

- But in the second grade when I shoot juggarna I was excited and happy that it was like some kind of revenge for what happened in the woods!

Next, we will see Matias Varela in the third and final film in the Fast Cash series which premieres on the big screen on October 18. When I ask if he can reveal anything about the film that is not yet fully recorded, he replies:

- The third film is very different when compared to the previous two. It has a more American style and big budget movie-like. In the first two movies, they use many hand cameras, which makes the film gets a little shaky and nervous, and one almost gets the impression that the camera is as an actor.

Into focus

Matias says that in the third grade, in contrast, the camera much on rails, which places greater demands on the actors. Then it does not matter how good and well it is if you do not exactly stand on the exposed tape because you'll end up in the camera's focus.

- What are the plans for the fast cash III become clear?

- There are actually a few things I want to do, including a Swedish film that is on the G. And it seems as if they want me too.

- How do you think your life will be like in 10 years?

- I faced fan, but I hope I can continue to work with this, both in Sweden and abroad.Then I can four languages: Swedish, English, Spanish and Portuguese, which I'm so good that I can play at the theater, it does not matter where in the world I am. However, what is important to me is that I get to work with interesting people.

- What is it that makes you different from other actors?

- I think there are many who can identify with my background. I've managed to do something I like and can make a living at it. I've managed to do something I'm proud of and want to inspire other kids who've had it like me. Since my mom is a teacher and dad waiter was not written in the stars that I would become an actor like, and I've never really focused on something.

- F n addition to the time you bought that tent?

- Haha yeah, exactly. Except when I bought that tent.

Matias Varela: I was so hard that I got fired
www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/film/article16800667.ab

Matias Varela about to start writing the script, the tough years, and the new series 'The Borgias'

From gangster to King.

Matias Varela has already taken Hollywood.

Soon, he can also add scriptwriter on CVs t

- They wanted me to write, it is a great confidence, he tells Aftonbladet.

First success around the "fast cash", then came Arne Dahl films. In the spring played Matias Varela, 32, in Johan Renck upcoming television series "Ones and Zeros" and now he's up to date in sumptuous drama series "The Borgias" broadcast in C More Series.

- People think I have done well for me and it feels very nice after standing and sweating in the 1500's of clothing for three months, says Matias Varela on the response for "The Borgias".
"Young and naive"

But not all is glamor and big roles. For eight years, Matias Varela away from the scene and worked instead in the construction industry.

You dropped acting for a while?

- I think the acting released me.

He laughs.

- I got fired because I was tough, I'm not there anymore.

Were you tough?

- I think I can imagine that I was. I was young and naive.

The older he became, the more he has found himself. He has matured and construction industry now seems to be far away.

In August, the premiere of "Fast Cash III - Life deluxe 'where Matias Varela plays criminal Jorge. And in the future he is involved in a new role - as a screenwriter. A film project that he will do together with Jens Jonsson ("Life deluxe") and Mani Maserrat ("WE").

- It's a film that hopefully will make 2014 which is about a football star. They have invited me and wants me to join in and write which is really an honor, he says.

Although he has worked with both directors earlier, the first time they work together all three.

- Now we have become as a little trio. I think they are among the most talented we have in the country - great guys. To sit and work with them is very rewarding.

To write scripts and do not stand in front of the camera allows him to return to a more normal routine, something he has been longing for.

- It's nice to go to work in the morning and end in the afternoon, I missed it.
Unclear future

On Monday, the trio begins their work together.

- The next few months will be more writing than anything else. You have to let the audience get some rest, they can not just look at me.

An unusual way to think as an actor?

- I do not know. But one has to choose what you do. Are you having too much tire the people in the end.

But it is not required a specific trait of exhibitionism in the profession?

- I have too little of it. I wonder sometimes if I'm in the right profession. I love my job but it is not very easy with all the stuff around it.

What becomes of the upcoming movie he does not know of yet.

- Nothing in the film industry is ever certain. You can start shooting a week and the next, they can be set. You can not take anything for granted in this business until the film goes to the movies. The allure but it is also concerned and does not fit all. I always try to guard me, you can not become addicted to this life, says Matias Varela.

Jonna Blessed

Matias on ...

Fears ...:

"My fears about making a bad interpretation of a role. But such fears are also important. The day you start shooting from the hip is the day you begin to stagnate as an artist. I claim to be good at what I do. "

... To have biffat to themselves since the first "Fast Cash" film:

"Many movies are very physically demanding. As in "The Borgias", to stand up with the clothes that weighed 25 kg a day in 40 degree heat, it is demanding. Even "fast cash" films was physically exhausting, the guns weighed a lot. "

... Team work during filming:

"Making movies is all about teamwork, it is not tennis but football."

... Filming of "The Borgias":

"It was one of the most instructive sessions so far in my life."
This is Matias Varela
