Viewers wanted to see them together on screen. Marian and Bartosz Opania do not want to work together
Bartosz Opania made his screen debut in 1992 in the political film “1968. Happy New Year” by Jacek Bromski, and already then he revealed his predispositions and talent. Viewers loved him immediately and many could not wait to play alongside the famous dad, who at that time could boast of a career that lasted almost 30 years. Although in the following years more and more titles appeared in his filmography, there were not many that connected him with his father.

And he is afraid that I will demand the most from him – he claims.
Acting is not the only passion that connects Marian Opania with his son. In an interview for “Vivy” he talked about his passion for traveling and sculpting in wood. They also have a similar sense of humor, outlook on the world and approach to life. “He has the same sensitivity, imagination, lack of resistance to stress, and he doesn’t necessarily know how to keep his feet on the ground. So we have two madmen in the family – senior. It would seem that in the Opania family love for the stage is passed down in the genes. The actor’s grandson, Filip, also followed in his footsteps.
