2020 was a complex year for everyone, both psychologically and mentally and, in many cases, at work. There were several items that were severely affected by the isolation: and the artistic sector was not spared. With theaters closed, recordings halted indefinitely and mass events disabled, all those who earned their bread from entertainment had to start looking for new ways to support themselves. Matias Santoianni was one of them and, despite the fact that health prevention measures were relaxed, he decided to continue with his new way of life.
During Mitre Livethe series of live interviews on Instagram hosted by Juan Etchegoyen, The actor recalled the beginning of the strict quarantine and revealed that, despite everything, it was not so negative for him.
“I have a big house and I didn’t suffer so much from the pandemic, I don’t have children or a partner and I get along well with loneliness. Being alone is not the same as living with boys or with a partner. Every day you find yourself with that reality that is not the one we always have because you go to work early and you go back to see your family in the evening, that’s why so much separation, “she said.
Regarding the impact on the workplace that the Covid-19 pandemic had, he assured that he was able to fix himself well thanks to a business that he put into practice. “Recently I started a venture of a naturist store of organic products which is called ‘Castaña y maní’, which is on social media, and that gives me a little extra money. About two years ago we put it together and It works very well. I like to do it because it is something organic that comes from nature and today it is very popular, and that has given me good results, ”she detailed.
And he added: “I deliver an order and I have no problem with that. The artist is a very liar in that, when you meet one, the house and the car do not belong to himthe extensions fall out… I try to be as honest as possible”.
He even clarified that he is not ashamed to admit that he put a stop to the world of fame to dedicate himself to this type of work and that his clients are very surprised when they see him. “People ask online for the page and I reach them. Sometimes it happens that people say to me: ´How similar to the actor, isn´t that you?´. And I tell him yes, he’s not ashamed of me. It’s work and I do it well, I like doing it, I have no problem. What’s more, I take more care of taking the orders and it has happened to me that they ask you selfies and I take off, I have no problem. I’m still the same guy from Castelar ”, he recounted, amused.
“This for me is a job, which I enjoy. I am grateful and blessed to do something that I really like. There are a lot of people who can’t do what they like, who are perhaps stuck with an eight- or nine-hour job and are frustrated in life because they can’t be what they want to be. Having this blessing of working and doing what we like gives me joy, “she concluded by way of closing.
