Tanya Trypi was hosted by Athenais Nega on Friday’s “Kalytera Arga” (08-11-2024). The well-known actress opened her heart in an in-depth discussion about her professional and personal life, while she did not hesitate to reveal her age on the air of Action24.
“I am very dynamic, emotional and a fighter, when there is a reason, but this is an attitude of life. I never put it down. I’ve always been grounded, but at the same time that I’m like that, I dream and think about things. I’m not the only one like that. I have had a career of 43 years, since I was 12. I’m one of the few who say that, that I’m 55 years old, they’re all in their 30s. When you have a 30-year-old and a 24-year-old child, when did we do it? At ten?”, says Tania Trypi.
“I have deleted a lot of people from the mobile, on the basis that there are no common moral codes. It’s basic. I can’t stand stupidity and ingratitude, they don’t fight anything. Stupidity is very dangerous. If you have a bad person in front of you, you know he is bad.
Potentially we are all things, depending on the condition one grows up in, one’s experiences and one’s desires. There are too many bad people. You constantly see the abuse and killing of animals, sensitive groups of people, women and children. There is a lot of this and every day we hear more. You say: where is this world going? Well, aren’t we old-fashioned?”, comments the actress characteristically.
About her theatrical coexistence with Konstantinos Kazakos, Tania Trypi says: “We have excellent chemistry. It has nothing to do with work. We could be doing really well in life and be crap on stage, no communication. We have common communication codes and it is a magical thing. As if the viewers are inside the house. We don’t fight, we are one of the good, civilized cases. Konstantinos is a very calm creature.”
“The children of actors who decide to take up acting know deeply the problems and the positives of the theater and this space, because they have known both the hunger and the glories. We went through phases where we said that when we have it, we will take it and when we don’t have it, we won’t take it. They are good guys, good ‘pastes’.
They were good guys, because I didn’t know either, we learned together. I was very young when my first pregnancy happened. My children didn’t see me as a star but as their mom. I didn’t play any role at home”, Tania Trypi confesses to Athenaida Nega.

**Athenais Nega:** Welcome, Tanya! It’s a pleasure to have you on “Kalytera Arga.” You’ve had a remarkable career spanning over four decades. What has been the key to maintaining such a long-lasting presence in the industry?
**Tanya Trypi:** Thank you, Athenais! I believe the key is passion and resilience. I’ve always approached my work with a dynamic spirit and a deep emotional connection. It’s important to stay grounded, yet ambitious. I’ve been a fighter when the situation calls for it, and I think that attitude has kept me relevant in such a competitive field.
**Athenais Nega:** You also opened up about your age during the interview, which is quite refreshing. Can you tell us why you felt it was important to share that?
**Tanya Trypi:** Certainly! I think it’s empowering to own our age and experiences. I’m 55 years old and have had a fulfilling career since I was just 12. It’s not just about age; it’s about the richness of experiences that come with it. Many people in the industry are younger, and I want to show that there is beauty and strength in growing older, especially as a mother of two young adults.
**Athenais Nega:** You mentioned having children at a young age. How has your personal life influenced your professional journey?
**Tanya Trypi:** My children are my anchor. Balancing motherhood and a career has taught me invaluable lessons in time management and dedication. There are days when it feels overwhelming, but ultimately, they inspire me to be better every day. Having a fulfilling personal life fuels my creativity and passion in acting.
**Athenais Nega:** It’s commendable how you juggle both worlds. What’s next for you? Do you have any upcoming projects?
**Tanya Trypi:** I’m currently exploring some exciting scripts! I’ve always believed that every new project is an opportunity to reinvent myself. I can’t share too much just yet, but stay tuned—there’s definitely more to come!
**Athenais Nega:** We look forward to it! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us today, Tanya. It’s been a pleasure having you on “Kalytera Arga.”
