“I’m amazed to see that you can actually be a professional racer”

For the presenter, this new stage carries a kind of challenge: “I am not an expert in this genre, so I keep up with everything new, especially in what I call the “Mediaset world,” which are the contestants in “real life.” I’m amazed when I see that you can be a professional racer, and have a CV based on participating in many editions and in different countries. For them It’s a real calling. Moreover, from the time I left television until I returned, new generations joined, the children of celebrities I knew from that time.

He recognizes Montoya’s value among his collaborators: “He knew how to stop himself for a while when everything was out of his control. He went from nothing to fame in record time, but now He works hard with his reports. He’s a “showman.”

Christina hesitates to choose one of her virtues, but in the end she chooses “a sense of humour, sarcasm.” But not painful, but in Joking tone. I also like that in others, especially if they have a dark sense of humor. It’s something I inherited from my father, who I always told him to make it clear he was joking, because people took him seriously. As I get older I follow in his footsteps, I don’t explain it either, and if someone doesn’t get it, they get it. On the contrary, he admits his weakness: “I’m somewhat insecure and shamefulI am very influenced by the opinions of others. That’s why it amazes me to see how people get emotionally naked on social media and tell their most intimate details. I can’t stand it. next to, There is tremendous aggression. “I don’t even dare to express my opinion because of what they might say, which is sometimes really barbaric.”

Christina does not consider herself “a romantic at all, which makes me ashamed,” and describes her marriage as “a team that supports each other. There is complicity, there is understanding. My husband understands me and understands me.” He knows me better than anyone else». She considered motherhood “an experience that turned my life upside down.” Now, with some distance, she realizes she would have handled it differently: “The first time I almost gave birth live, on the radio. It was an emergency handover, from there to the ICU. But I went back to work right away My mind didn’t click with being a mother. And that day came. The second I realized that I should slow down, that I should devote myself to them, and I regretted what I had done before.

A shadow of guilt appears in the memory: “I don’t know if it’s hormonal or cultural or whatever, but there’s a very strong connection that you can’t escape. Although in the end, You feel guilty no matter what you do; Guilty of having your wings professionally clipped if you decide to stay home to take care of them or guilty of abandoning them if you continue your working life. For women, reconciliation is an illusion.

For a few years, Cristina lives this motherhood away from television sets, choosing new projects: she founded a production company to produce documentaries, began to collaborate with the CRIS Foundation to fight cancer and co-created a hospitality company that became one of the best rooftop managers in Madrid, from El Círculo de Bellas Artes to Picalagartos: «It was an unexpected successBecause in the beginning we were looking for an activity that would complement our profession. But it worked, it grew, and it all came together.”

But Cristina does not seem like a woman who can be easily admired; It conveys the serenity of a person who keeps his feet on the ground, a person who sees himself as he is, without the distortion of unnecessary situations. That is why, when he talks about happiness, he is clear about where to find it: “In that swamp where I’ve been gone since I was littleI spend the day making appetizers with my friends and family and we laugh and talk about our stuff. The simplest things are the most valuable.

Personal diary

The emojis he uses the most: “I’m very similar, but in chats I tend to put the kiss on the face.”

You can take a “selfie” with: “With Benicio del Toro, without a doubt.”

Sacrifice for fame: “It’s not that I have seven cars behind me, and I’ve never had this fame… Maybe, in the moments when I’m on TV more, I try to take care of myself so that I don’t lose my hair too much.”

“The Earth Swallowed Me” Moment: “When I was a radio intern, when I took pages from the fax, I made a mistake and took pages that were not from the script. I realized it live. When I finished, almost crying, I apologized for doing it so badly… I had a terrible time.

Something you can’t miss in your daily life: «Music».

A goal that is never achieved: “Go to bed early. I always find an excuse, whether it’s a movie, series, book, or internet search. In the end, I sleep too late.

A place to get lost: “In the San Juan Reservoir, in Madrid.”

His first kiss: “It’s a very beautiful memory, even though I was very young and the kiss was more like the touch of lips. Nerves, foolishness, happiness and the desire to escape, all at the same time.

Are you afraid of: “For any disease my children may suffer from.”

In 10 years we see: “I’m already dreading my children’s years, as they’ll be in their twenties, so I find myself worrying about their jobs or university. As a mother, everything is anxiety-inducing. Other than that, I wish I could spend more time in the swamp with the people I love.

Little Christina: “She was responsible and quite good. As for Al-Mushagheb, he is my brother who fought all the battles because he deserved them. Then we got along terribly, because we were not complicit in anything, on the contrary, but now we adore each other. I was a social girl, but not a girl with a group of friends, more like a mixed village gang…actually, I got along better with boys. If I could go back in time and give advice to my younger self, I would say: Nothing is too important, everything passes.
