Maro Kondu: “I hear colleagues who want to die on stage and I pity them”

“I look 65 years old. I don’t mind being 90 years old. I wouldn’t want to be 30 years old again. I made all the mistakes of my life then. My best time is now as long as it lasts” said among other things the great, . The well-known actress of Greek cinema and theatre, spoke on the show “Go Danai” today (29.10.2024) and referred to her career, camaraderie and her age. Maro Kondu even spoke of the most recent television series involving the “Earth of Olive”. “I have many hobbies. I paint, I cook, I garden, I’m a carpenter if I have to, and I play biriba, it works my hands in general. I’ve worked it out with myself. This was after the odd period from 50 to 60. I had the luck of looking. I needed help because I dropped a lot like my mother’s death and a divorce. Your psychoanalysis unlocks some doors that if you’re not afraid to go through them, you’re going to win. I may have lost the tightness of the skin and had wrinkles but I don’t care in front of the others I have won,” said Maro Kondu at first. Maro Kondu says she now understands people more easily and justifies them: “I’m not in a hurry to criticize. Now I’m more lenient but not with everything. I can’t do stupidity, bad taste and extreme cheap behavior. I don’t always appreciate compliments. When you’re a surname it’s usually similar and it gets tired. I don’t know about the rest of them after 70, but I’ve ruled out companionship. I love living alone. I had company until 20 years ago. I fell in love, they fell in love with me, I cried and they cried for me, what else? When two people match, marriage doesn’t have to. With my age the passion of loyalty is gone, I don’t need a great role and a full theater. I hear colleagues say they want to die on stage and I’m sorry but I feel sorry for them. Can’t they live without the scene?”. About the Olive Land, Maro Kondu said: “They do not inform me of developments in the Olive Land. I heard Gregory Valtin was coming in and I lost it. Andreas Georgiou called me about the Land of Elias and I immediately said “yes” but then I also spoke to Vanna Demetriou.” Maro Kondu said there were no health issues so far that shocked her: “I watch my diet, exercise five minutes a day. One important thing about old age is to have an interest. I don’t stay behind and I was never a taboo man. This year I turned 90. I saw me in the mirror, and it doesn’t look like I look 65. I don’t mind being 90 years old, I just want to think, walk, dance and see my friends. I wouldn’t want to be 30 years old again. I made all the mistakes of my life then. My best time is now as long as it lasts.”
