Carolina Yuste, from dancer to actress

Like her other two companions, Carolina Yuste has won the category of Best Female Lead at the XVI Gaudí Awards of the Catalan Cinema Academy for her performance in the film They know that’ of David Trueba. The actress also has a Goya (Best New Actress) in your profile. She won it in 2018 for Carmen and Lola. He made his first feature film just two years before with the help of Alejandro González Ygoa. The movie Romantic stories (a little) bitchy (2016), a low-budget independent film anti-romantic comedy, was the first of many others. From there other projects came out such as Who will sing to you (2018), by Carlos Vermut, or the film debut of Arantxa Echevarría as director of a feature film Carmen and Lola. Although it is true that, as she has recently confessed, her first idea was not to be an actress. What she really wanted to be was a dancer-and more specifically she was a go-go dancer from Ibiza-and she moved from Badajoz to the capital to try her luck and on that trip she met an acting teacher and discovered that she “loved this world.” “.

Despite the recognitions he has collected, Yuste still has imposter syndrome. “I have a little race and sometimes I get the feeling of being an impostor because I can’t quite believe that certain awards are given to me, but the truth fills me with pride,” she expressed in a meeting with students. It was then that she also expressed her love-hate for the profession. “It is a profession that generates a lot of conflict for me, because it is very intermittent. One day you can be making a movie or a series and the next day have nothing. It’s a matter of whether the directors and producers like you and whether you fit the roles. And the truth is that I can’t complain because I feel privileged, because I am one of the few who can choose the projects they want to do, but that rarely happens. I have friends who are moonlighting to be able to pay for things and to be able to work, it is a very unstable profession,” she said.
