Efstathia Tsapareli: “I essentially became a teenage mom. He had a painful part of growing up.”

The actress Efstathia Tsapareli, who is currently starring in ERT1’s Paralia, was a guest on the show “Morning in sight”.

Talking about the series, she said with humor that her mom strongly asks her for spoilers.

She was content to say about her heroine, Kerasia, that “this story will develop nicely. Until we reach the happy end, we will have a march.”

“I was fascinated by the delinquent in pool halls”

The actress first talked about her grandfather, who had a weakness for her. “While he was crooked, he had a relationship with things that was a little transcendental. At the first light of the sun he went to a certain little window and said a prayer. At night he would go and look at the stars and again he would say a prayer and look at them. His hobby was taking stones and making them into sculptures. He had a charm on me and it means he was getting something too. The most important thing he did is that he looked at me with a look of admiration from a very early age,” he said.

“I was fascinated by the borderline, the transgressive, the dark, I really liked billiards, I played championships. There was chaos at home because people were going crazy, my mom was looking for me in the pool halls in Zografou. Now I don’t play billiards anymore, I would like to” she said about her intense adolescence.

“My child is 12 years old. I stayed 6 years with my child. It is multifactorial. I was away from Athens so no one knew me. So I had to start over. Then it was during the crisis and it was extremely difficult and I was being taken on jobs that didn’t make sense. So we weighed things up a bit, discussed with Alexander what is more important and decided that I should stay with the child. He worked more. But it’s difficult” she said about the child she has with her husband, Alexandros Logothetis.

Speaking about the lyrics he writes, he said:

“It’s been years. While I was with the child, I was growing. A psychologist used to say that postadolescence has a stage that lasts until 28. I became a teenage mom, essentially. He had a lot of conflicts and had a painful part of growing up. My initial need to write was about managing adulthood. It’s a frustration that grows you.”

Her relationship with her father-in-law, Ilias Logothetis

Speaking about her father-in-law, Ilias Logothetis, who recently passed away, she said:

“I lived Elias more on the phones, we had a very frequent phone relationship, because in recent years he didn’t want to be exposed to people with children. We had made something of our own secret about what I read. Once I told him a book that is primarily for women and he picked it up and read it. He was open to everything.”
