In the same breath, however, Lauri says that in the theater circles, people have been “pushed on the backside” or touched in other ways in the past. He didn’t think it was wrong at the time.

Veitola says that this industry is still male-dominated.
Cooperation with Spede
Lauri played the main role in the movie that came to theaters in December 2021 70 is just a number, which deals with the life of an aging woman. Today, the performer of the female lead role is a very common sight, but Vilpas recalls that in the 90s it was still a stranger.

Lauri brings up Get together – program producer Spede Pasanen.
– Spede was initially of the opinion that a woman cannot be funny. When I went To the Spede Show, I saw that he was watching me. I asked: “Do you think I’m such an idiot that I wouldn’t see you watching,” Lauri says.
Lauri says that little by little he had received “more and more” work from Spede, and in the end they worked together A woman’s logic – the movie. Spede had also later admitted that the woman could be funny.
