Argentinian TV series “Wild angel” (Muñeca brava) was released in 1998 and became a real telekhit — especially in Russia. Since then it’s been more than 20 years, but many still with trepidation remember the soap Opera and replaying the words from the theme song of the series Сambio Dolor. And if the female leading role Natalia Oreiro we continue to hear a lot in the media (she regularly comes to Russia with concerts and even cooperated with Russian fashion brands), about her co-star Facundo Aran fans know very little. In honor of the 47-th anniversary of the actor we wanted to learn what happened to his life after the resounding success of “Wild angel”. As it turned out, the actor continues to act in serials, has three children with his lover, he enjoys surfing and a lot more! This and many other things in our material.

Thanks to the TV series, Haran for many was the sex symbol of the generation 90: his big blue eyes (which seemed always on the wet spot from an overabundance of feelings) were forced to melt millions of girls around the world.
Life after “angel”
After filming “Wild angel” with Facundo Arana fell a lot of suggestions to work: every Argentine Director wanted to see the actor in his series. In 1999, he starred in the TV series Good neighbors (Buenos vecinos), and in 2001 in the TV series “Iago, dark passion” (Yago, pasión morena).
“Iago, dark passion” Aran played passionate love is no longer with Oreiro and Canellos Neira. The show was crazy ratings, and he even received the award “Martin Fierro”. After Facundo starred in several projects, but none of them became as popular as “Wild angel”.

Theatre
Making another break in the filming (for some reason we have no doubt that Arana will be back on TV, and maybe even again paired with Oreiro!), Facundo devoted himself to the theatre. Now the actor is busy in the play “Love letters” (Cartas de Amor), which plays along with the iconic Argentine actress Soledad Silveira.
The production tells the love story of Andy and Melissa, who fell in love with each other as teenagers, but were separated, and life was a touching correspondence.

Facundo Arana is very inspired and proud of this performance, which is placed on the stage of the theatre in the Argentine city of Mar del Plata.
We have a very beautiful piece, we love each other, and to come here for the theatre season — a real gift, especially because the Lido theatre where we’re playing now, was empty. Therefore, we feel the blessings, feel part of a wonderful event when this season will come alive in another theatre. We exit the theater and interact with the audience, and it means to experience the theater every minute of the day,

Surfing, mountains and saxophone
Free theatre time Facundo Arana devotes to his hobby. For example, one of them is playing the saxophone. The love for this musical instrument came from the actor while still in his Teens — he, by the way, said during his visit to Russia in 2015 on the show “Evening Urgant”.
I started to play the saxophone even in 15 years. I became an actor thanks to this hobby — I noticed when I played on the instrument in the subway. However, acting is not deleted how to play saxophone in my life. Many years ago, we gathered with friends in a group and began to perform various covers of songs,
— remembered Haran.
Facundo is now actively touring with his band Facundo Arana & The Blue Light Orquestra: mainly in the cities of his native Argentina, but sometimes music band gives concerts in other countries (including in Russia).
Surfing is another passion. which he devotes a lot of time. And the passion on the Board shares the wife of Facundo, a 42-year-old Maria Susini, and their three children. It’s a hobby actor masterfully combines with the work: evenings at the theater, and a surfboard on the waves.
For the second year in a row we combine sand and surf with my work in the theater. Children spend the whole day in the water, engaging, and learning with amazing speed. Talking and spending time with five players — that’s all I could ever dream of. Surfing the whole family is a dream come true. I still can’t believe it,
