Childhood and youth
The future star was born on October 21, 1988 in Madrid. Her passion for the stage began in her youth - while studying at the gymnasium, she began taking acting lessons. In those years, Blanca did not yet think that this would become her profession.
Blanca Suarez as a child
After graduating from school, she entered the Faculty of Communications at the University of King Juan Carlos. After sitting at her textbooks, the girl realized that an acting career attracted her much more.
He was eager to go to Europe because Sophie moved there
By the age of 16, Suarez was completely focused on football, got rid of his previous hobbies, but suddenly the unexpected happened. In 2002, the bank where Sophie’s father worked went bankrupt, and the head of the family was left idle. His brother from Spain suggested moving to Barcelona, and soon the family was packing their bags.
Louis was depressed. He had already lost friends who remained in Salto, suffered a separation from his parents and was not ready for another separation. “They took everything from me. I was 16 when we said goodbye, I thought I would never see her again. The day before leaving, guests gathered at her house, and the two of us went for a walk. I remember we were standing at the bus stop, and I told her: “I can’t believe that we won’t see each other again.” My family knew who I had found for myself in Sophie, and my mother appreciated her family for everything they did for me, for looking out for me and keeping me on the right path. They knew how much I would suffer."
Seeing Sophie's stress before leaving, her parents advised her to get a profession in Barcelona and return to work in Uruguay - back to Luis. Sophie never dreamed of becoming a hairdresser, but decided it was the shortest way home. The father was actually dissatisfied, but thought that his daughter would change her plans.
On the day Sophie left, Suarez cried. “She gave me a notebook with song lyrics as a farewell - I cried when I read them. I thought our relationship was over. How could I get from Uruguay to Barcelona if I didn’t even have money to travel to Solimar? From now on I didn’t need to collect cards to get to Sophie - now I was looking for them to find money to call her. A month later, she called me and admitted that she felt very bad: “If you don’t come by the end of the year, we won’t see each other again.” She said that I should make every effort for us to meet."
In December 2003, Luis was happy: his agent paid for a flight to Barcelona and back, and his older brother threw in $60 for incidentals. This is how Suarez left Uruguay for the first time.
“The journey didn’t last long, but I finally understood what I wanted from my life and career. I wanted to play in Europe to be with Sophie."
Films and TV series
Blanca's debut was the film "Chills" (in some translations - "Trembling"). After him, the young actress was noticed by director Jose Corbacho and invited to the drama “Cowards” for the role of a female editor, but the first two films did not bring her much popularity.
Blanca Suarez in the series “Black Lagoon”
World fame came to the actress after her role in the TV series “Black Lagoon”. Her heroine Julia is a strange person who speaks with ghosts. At first she was conceived as a minor character, but the audience loved her so much that the director transferred Julia to the main cast.

In 2011, the actress moved into “serious” cinema. Pedro Almodóvar starred her in his thriller The Skin I Live In. Later, the film entered the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival, and Blanca Suarez was nominated for a Goya Award.

Two years later, he offered her a role in the comedy “I'm Very Excited” (the original Spanish title is “Passengers in Love”). Suarez's character finds herself on a passenger plane that is about to crash, and the dangerous situation forces her to reveal her vices and secrets.

Childhood and family of Luis Suarez
Luis was born on January 24, 1987 in the second largest city of Uruguay, Salto. The boy's family was not rich, since most of the money his parents earned was spent on the maintenance and education of seven children, the fourth of whom was Louis. When he was seven years old, the Suarez family moved to Monte in the hope of better living conditions. But the changes only happened for the worse, and at the age of nine, Louis and his six brothers were left in the care of their mother, since their father left the family. Despite the fact that the parents’ separation was categorical and irreconcilable, the sons continued to communicate with their father.
Louis showed an early interest in sports, and football turned out to be the most accessible form of active games, and the streets of a big city became a platform for honing the abilities and playing style of the future famous athlete. The teenager turned out to have a complex and hot-tempered character, and the lack of constant and strict control from his parents did not contribute to the improvement of his behavior.
At the age of 14, Luis was noticed by representatives of the Uruguayan junior football team, and he was given a tempting offer to take a training course in a specialized sports camp. But as fate would have it, the boy had to give up this chance to show his skills, since a necessary condition for going to the camp was the presence of football boots, which the poor family could not afford to buy.
Blanca Suarez now
The actress continues to actively act in films with Spanish directors. Her latest work, Telephone Girls, is about girls who work at the world's first telephone company and bring people closer to each other.

Blanca Suarez also writes a blog on the Vogue website dedicated to fashion and beauty.
Personal life of Mario Casas
The amorous affairs of a sultry handsome man with a model appearance have always worried his fans.
Mario never had a break from girls, and rarely did his co-star escape the fate of falling in love with this actor, especially since Casas had sex scenes in almost every romantic film. On the set of the multi-part telenovela “Dream Without Fear,” the actor began dating Amaya Salamanca. They spent a lot of time together outside the pavilions, but made no official comments about the status of their relationship. While work on the series “Ark” was underway, Casas became interested in actress Blanca Suarez. They already knew each other from the films “Brain Drain” and “Neon Flesh”. However, Blanca emphasized in an interview that they were only close friends, especially since at that time Mario began a serious affair with Maria Valverde, his partner in the film “Three Meters Above the Sky.”
Mario Casas and Blanca Suarez
The relationship between Hache and Bibi spilled over into real life and lasted 4 years. Things were heading towards the wedding, and the tabloids continually attributed a non-existent pregnancy to Maria. But in the fall of 2014, the actors announced they were breaking off their engagement. The reasons remained a sealed secret.
Mario Casas and Berta Vazquez
The role in the film “Palm Trees in the Snow” (2015) gave Mario a relationship with Berta Vazquez, for whom this film became her debut. For two years, the actors were together, not hiding their tender feelings. However, in 2017, when asked by a journalist from a Russian publication whether Mario was ready to settle down, the actor confidently answered that he had not yet met the girl who would become part of the Casas family. It is known that Mario is involved in charity work and helps the children's foundation, which was founded by Jose Carreras.

Biography of Luis Suarez
Suarez was born in 1987 on the outskirts of the city of Salto, located on the very border with Argentina. Suarez's father was an avid football fan, so the boy's name was not chosen by chance - in the 70s of the last century, football player Luis Suarez shone on the international stage. When Luis was 5 years old, his family moved to Montevideo, the football capital of Uruguay. Here he became addicted to football and played with local boys all day long. At this age, he met a little girl, Sophie, who would later have a strong influence on the life and career of a football player.
His father soon abandoned the family, and Suarez even considered leaving the local school football team. His mother insisted that Luis continue to do what he loved, and Suarez himself soon established a relationship with his father and is still in contact with him. Luis' older brother, Pablo, is also a professional footballer for local club Isidro Metapan.
Club career of Luis Suarez
It all started from ordinary street areas, where Suarez, along with other tomboys from the outskirts, played football. As the footballer himself admits, it was here that he formed his playing style, gained experience and managed to learn the necessary life lessons. In 2003, Suarez entered the Nacional academy after scouts saw him in action: Luis helped his school team win a match in which they lost 6 - 0. Luis immediately established himself in the Nacional youth team, and two years later became a starter for the adult team. In his only full season in Uruguay, he scored 12 goals, including two goals in the final confrontation with Peyarol.
In 2006, scouts from the Dutch club Gronigen came to Montevideo, who were interested in another Nacional player. However, one of the representatives of the European team saw Suarez in action and convinced the management to shell out $1 million for the promising football player. He made his debut with Gronigen in 2006, scoring 10 times. Soon Suarez continued his journey through the Eredivise, moving to the Ajax camp for 7.6 million euros.
Suarez played for two seasons as part of the Dutch giants, scoring more than 50 goals, and also biting his opponent from Feyenoord. After this incident, the management of Ajax tried to get rid of the footballer, and he was soon signed by the English Liverpool.
Debut at Anfield and new problems
Before his move to Foggy Albion, Suarez refused such clubs as Shakhtar and Zenit, saying that he was not interested in money bags. The English grandee paid 26.5 million euros for Luis. Nobody thought that Suarez would be able to maintain his performance, because it is quite difficult to compare the Dutch and English championships. However, he managed to score in his debut match against Stoke City. In his first season, Suarez was recognized as player of the year and helped his team beat their principal opponent, Manchester United.
Suarez started the next season even better, leading the list of scorers by March. However, on April 21, Suarez went to Stamford Bridge with Liverpool, where he bit the “aristocrats” defender Branislav Ivanovic in a fight. As a result, Suarez receives a 10-match suspension and misses the opportunity to become the top scorer of the English Championship. In the summer there were many rumors about Suarez's departure, but Liverpool tried to keep their disgraced forward by offering him a contract on improved terms.
Return and Golden Boot
Suarez extended his agreement with the Reds for 4 years and, having served his disqualification, returned to the English fields. This time he began to demonstrate incredible performance, managing to lead the scoring race in just 2 months. “El Pistolerro” lasted until the end of the season without being stung and managed to score 30 goals, eventually receiving the Golden Boot. In the 2014/15 off-season, Suarez was again wooed by various European giants, but Liverpool rejected all media rumors.
Transfer to Barcelona
In the summer of 2014, Barcelona offered Liverpool 81 million euros for Suarez, an offer the English club could not refuse. He signs a contract for 5 years and chooses his number “9”. This transfer became the most expensive in the history of Barcelona. The Uruguayan managed to prove himself already in the first season, while in the starting games he gradually got used to the team, then closer to winter the footballer became more active, in 26 matches in the Spanish Championship he scored 16 goals and gave 14 assists. He fit in very well with Barcelona, and now the team’s striking force consisted of a trio - Messi, Suarez, Neymar.
International career of Luis Suarez
“Genius footballers are adored by their own fans and hated by the fans of their opponents” - this famous expression was once voiced by the famous English player and coach Bob Preisley. Luis Suarez helped his team qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. And here, through his disqualification, he helped the Uruguayans reach the semi-finals. It all happened in the 120th minute of the match against Ghana, when Suarez knocked a projectile from his goal ribbon with his hands, preventing it from entering the net after a strong hit from his opponent. Ghana failed to convert the awarded penalty, and Uruguay celebrated reaching the semi-finals. Everyone criticized Suarez, calling him a disgrace to football, but not the fans of the national team - the country's president personally expressed gratitude to Luis.
The very next year, the forward became the top scorer at the America's Cup and helped Celeste win gold. Suarez went to the 2014 World Cup with an injury, but managed to recover and scored a double against England. In a match against Italy, Suarez again bit defender Chiellini and received a four-month suspension. However, he again became a real hero for Uruguayan fans. In total, he played 79 matches for the national team and scored 41 goals.

In May 2011, the directing duo of Carla Revuelta and Nacho G. Velilla presented the comedy series “Those Who,” in which Jon received a small role. He played a young man named Carlos. And then he appeared in the image of the main character of the detective serial film “Grand Hotel”, which was aired on the Antena 3 channel.
Gonzalez's partners on the set were such Spanish film stars as Adriana Osores and Amaya Salamanca. And the film itself, the plot of which revolves around the family secrets of the hotel owner and their servants, brought the actor the Spanish cinematographic award “Fotogramas de Plata” in the category “Best Television Actor”.
And finally, in October 2011, Enrique Alberich’s thriller “Transgression” was released. Here Jon played one of the key roles - a young man named Helio. However, the film was not successful and did not receive much attention from audiences.
