Iago García, actor of The Secret of the Old Bridge



Yumping.- Have you practiced any extreme sports?
Iago García.- No, not really, but I don't rule out doing it, since it is something that always attracts attention.

And.- What adventure sport would you like to try?
I.G.- I have interest in many, but I think the first one I want to get into is skydiving.

And.- Which one would you never dare to do?
I.G.- Curiously, bungee jumping, although it is also a "sport of heights."

Y.- Do you dedicate your free time to any hobbies?
I.G.- Yes, when I have free time I try to disconnect and enjoy the things I like the most, like everyone I suppose.

And.- What are your usual ways to release adrenaline?
I.G.- I usually practice more conventional sports. I do a series of regular exercises, at home: a plank of push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups to maintain tone. And whenever I can I escape to play basketball, tennis, etc.

And.- Do you think people should practice more adventure sports?
I.G.- Surely so. It is a way to disconnect and stay in shape. More sports should be played in general.

And.- What is the most exciting thing you have done in your life?
I.G.-Making love (laughs). Believe it or not, acting is one of the most exciting things I do every day... And then there are other things that cannot be told, really (laughs).

And.- Sports on land, sea or air?
I.G.- Being Galician, and forced to choose… I choose the sea.

And.- Would you practice extreme sports with friends or a partner?
I.G.- Whenever possible, with both.

And.- What extreme sport would you surprise someone with?
I.G.- Be careful with this, I once tried to surprise my father with a few rides on a "dragon khan" type attraction and he still reminds me of it, yes... but with resentment (laughs). And obviously it wasn't an extreme sport. It is a very personal gift, I suggest choosing carefully, don't be too much of a surprise...
