Clara Ingold, according to her older brother: "I've seen her vomit from homesickness"

PalmThey aren't twins, but they've often played at being so; they imagined that the little one had decided to stay attached to the womb for another year and ten months: "That's why the list of the two of us is hers," says actor (and so many other things) Diego Ingold about his younger sister, Clara Ingold (Palma, 1985). We know her as an actress, with plays such as Park pigeonand as a comedian, for example, on the RTVE program In heaven with herAnd we know her, above all, because wherever she is, Clara Ingold has the power to make us laugh (or laugh twice, or even three times!).

They grew up near Costa d'en Blanes, and soon moved to a country house: "We were outside all day, riding our bikes and playing around... They'd call us with a bell to come for lunch. Life changed for us when we moved from the apartment to the country house," recalls Diego. In fact, he suddenly adds: "We wouldn't be who we are or do what we do if we hadn't been pushed off the sofa to put on plays in the dining room. Our family has always paid attention to us and applauded our antics."

"For a child who isn't even two years old, a baby is a toy. That's what Clara was to me. From a young age I've been very proactive, and she was always ready to play, build forts, role-playing“We were accomplices,” Diego explains. Knowing them only professionally, one can imagine that a house with Clara and Diego together as children must have been quite chaotic, and not always filled with flowers and violas. Sibling relationships are often complicated: “When we were little, we fought a lot. My job was to stop her from hurting me, and she’d block me with a broom.”

Clara shares a common imagination with Diego, who says, laughing, that he “overstimulated” her: they dance in the style of Martes y Trece and are also inspired by how their mother danced the twist; The Princess Bride, Inside the Labyrinth and Gremlins 2 (they never saw the first part); and they spent many hours playing Monkey Island, a computer adventure game. As teenagers, they identified with the grunge subculture: "We used to go out to Túnel. Clara had beautiful dreadlocks and people would tell her Clara RastasWe liked—and still do!—alternative music. I'd even say we kind of rejected indie music that wasn't alternative enough.

According to her brother, Clara has always been very open but also homesick: "I've seen her vomit from homesickness. She needed to touch her mother. When she left the house, she didn't feel well, and it still happens now, although she manages it much better." He explains that Clara has a very deep longing for the people she loves, which is why she's interested in working in Mallorca. Just the opposite of Diego. As for friendships, "Clara has strong, lifelong bonds. I don't keep as many childhood friends; for her, it's natural to maintain a network of people she's known for ages and who are good for her. And she's very proud of that," says Diego, who confesses that this sometimes makes him a little jealous.

Diego has only good things to say about his sister's work, and a pride that swells within him: "Clara is very clear that she wants to make people laugh, that she doesn't want to take life too seriously. After trying to be an actress at certain levels, she discovered that it didn't make her happy. I'm very happy to see exactly what she knows. She's proud to see that she's capable of taking on challenges. She's sincere in what she does, and I think that's precisely why she excels." Long live the Ingold twins!
