Daniela Viaggiamari, Dani “La Chepi” For friends, live with five dogs that make mischief while we talk: “They give more work than my daughter,” says Dani with a laugh. At least Isabella does not get up early because she goes to school afternoon, wakes her up at 9 and just gets her at 10.30. “Pará mom, what trouble is there?” Says the girl with the tranquility of a Zen monk. The daily life of “La Chepi” has elements of a comedy that every mother recognizes and “Mom’s boyfriend”the family film that premiered last week in which he shares cast with José María Listorti, Jorgelina Auzzi and Alex Pelaoalso. There is Lucia, a widowed woman with two children, a very particular new boyfriend and a postponed professional dream. But we know that life reveals, and Dani too.
Actress and singer, off -road laborer, Olympic remuneration of comedy, can be the most loved cook of “Masterchef”, the great voice of less thought tango, a moving mother in the series “Cromañón”, a certain doubtful neighbor in “The person in charge” and the protagonist of the only Argentine family film that faces children’s tanks in these winter vacations. The one that can.
News: A long time since a national family comedy on winter vacation was not released, something that in our childhood was a classic. Were there nerves in the previous one?
Dani “La Chepi”: Yes, a lot! And that I do a lot of therapy since I had that episode where apparently from one day to the other, although one is already bringing them and does not realize, I had to leave everything and get away from the networks. Many people said: “This is an invention to have more views” and I was medicated to the head suffering from anxiety disorder derived from depression. What happens is that you never stop, you continue and continue until Chocás, a formula 1 car stops in boxes to change the tires, I did not do it and were difficult times. I had a spent traveling to Uruguay to film the series “Cromañón”, seeing who to leave the baby, putting together content for the networks, raising alone and asking for help to every living being that does not charge me (laughs) was very much and I fell. Now I can distinguish, thanks to all the therapies I do, because my psychiatrist with me must have bought a land in Nordelta (laughs) … but I learned to distinguish the pretty anxiety from the harmful. The same I stress for everything, it is a constant struggle. Do you know what Isa told me when we premiered? “Mom, enjoy this moment because you deserve it and it happens very fast.” Eleven years old!
News: Something that I liked about the film is that his character has the most emotional part, he is a widow who postponed his chef’s profession to raise and accompany his children. It is not the chepi making jokes, it is a composition. How did he work it?
Dani: A couple of journalists told me: “You are serious in the movie.” And of course, that is precisely the idea! Getting out of what people are used to seeing from the Chepi because Lucia is a character, realize friend (laughs) is the only one in the film that embodies reality, any mother will understand her because due to the circumstances of life she takes care of the family alone and just for that reason she postponed her dreams as she happens to many people. Some do not know it, but I have been acting for a long time, I did not miss a single strip of Cris Morena, I was in all, I name the one you want and there I worked. She was always “the ex…”, since then I am very friend of Damián de Santo, every time he appeared, he said: “Who is my ex? Dani!” “My love”, “Beautiful and Beast”, every time Damían had an ex this girl appeared there (laughs) I made a couple of independent films, one with Diego Pérez called “Ten less”, and another directed by Andrés Paternostro, “The ballot”, but for the first after so many years this is my first commercial movie, since the 16 I have been acting and I have 45.
News: Do you feel that there is a prejudice with the actors that become known through the networks?
Dani: Look, the other day I spoke with Alejo, Pelao and those things happen. Most leave you comments with the best because they know that one has been shaking for years, but others throw: “Oh, now make films the influencers.” For example, I have known Pelao for a lot, when we made events, he formed with Pepe Cibrián, he is an actor, dancer, singer, now participated in the second season of “Palermo Division” and is great in “Mom’s boyfriend.” He looks a lot in the pair with Jorgelina Auzzi, who is a number one comedian of Argentina, is not an impromptu. I laugh a lot with some comments, but look if Googleran a little before saying those peludes … (laughs)
News: Some time ago we interviewed Rada and just commented that the networks were their tool to manage their career and reach the public. Did you happen a little the same?
Dani: Yes, I ran out of work in 2015 when I was in “The 40 main ones”, in the middle of December, do you remember the scandal that was that? They threw half the world from there and Continental because they were the own owners, Víctor Hugo Morales did not let him into the radio, he was terrible. I worked with Iván de Pineda in the first morning and from one day to the other “chau”. There were two minutes for the end of the year when they cracked me, who was going to hire me? I went through 20 radios in 10 years or so! Do you know who I turned to social networks? By Nati Jota, I worked with her and told me: “I know you don’t like networks, but send, make some videos on Instagram, you are humorist, you are an actress, it will be fine.” Thus I started, telling that I had no laburo, with the baby running and a gadorcha cell phone (laughs) there was a lot of noodles and videos that could not be edited. Until one day something happened …
News: Do not make me a suspense that I am reached, continue just
Dani: It happened that a great friend, the dancer Soledad Bayona, told me about a brown horny and the opening of coffee moisture. I knew that this was Cacho’s dream because I had seen an interview with Fantino where he said: “I want to open a bar, that other singers come and whenever I want, if I want to sing too.” Sole told me that an audition was coming to find singers and went. You don’t know what it was! The row turned the apple. Obviously nobody had an idea that I was already a kid with some followers, Cacho cared about the networks, he never had. I went with my daughter to the audition, had nowhere to leave her. The girl went up and got out of the stage, from the nerves I was wrong the lyrics of “Naranjo en Flor”, the singer corrected me and I did not know where to get, imagine. I thought they never called me again, I had asked for clothes borrowed, I had a haircut made with an ax, more or less, I don’t know how that man chose me among a thousand people.
News: If you chose it Cacho Castaña, it was for something, you were already a singer even if it would not be believed so much
Dani: Of course, do you know how he baptized me? Asylum. He always told me (mimics Cacho’s voice): “What did I do, asylum?” (laughs). With coffee the humidity I had a laburo again, it was not so far, but it served me to pay the accounts and buy things to Isa. Thanks to that, notes with the title began to appear: “Who is the youtuber who chose a fuck to accompany him” … I was never YouTuber, but hey. From there I was the right to sing with Cacho in the Conrad of Punta del Este. First row: Susana Giménez, Teté Coustarot, the Black Gold and all the former Cacho. Susana told me: “But what a beautiful one, what a flaquitaaaa.” Flaquita for not eating was! (laughs) After many laps and some unexpected twists things were given. I made a race, I arrived on TV, I was in “Masterchef”, now we premiered a movie with Listorti. I always tell my daughter: “While you strive and do not fuck anyone or mess in quilombos, sometimes things come.”
News: Controversial moment, the Sebastián crab (Listorti) did not release tickets for “the little mermaid” and had to resort to Úrsula (Evelyn Botto)?
Dani: (He laughs) No, poor Josema, he invited us just for some days when we could not go because Isa is doing the entrance course to another school, the crab behaved well. What happens is that with Evelyn we have joined us for a friendship for 13 years, I met her before being pregnant with Isa, and we both make ourselves happy about the achievements of the other. My daughter loves her, for her it is her aunt Eve, I showed her final greeting videos as an Úrsula and shouted excitedly: “Ma, it is the one who applauds the most!” He is an incredible person, he deserves everything, he won him alone, he grew by little and this character seems written for her. I tell you that we plan to go to the last function next Sunday and then be able to eat a Pancho Las Tres and talk about life. With orange juice because I have not drink alcohol for years. And we also go for Josema, huh! When it was learned that he was the protagonist of “Mom’s boyfriend” they asked me if I was going to do uouooooo (we laughed). Let’s not underestimate, first “Matilda” and now “La Sernita”, he is breaking her. You have to encourage other things, I in this movie for the first time I see myself and I liked it. Obviously I criticized my nose, teeth and dark circles of a 45 -year -old girl, but I could see the character, I saw Lucia.
