Money Heist’s Denver star opens up on ‘very painful’ scene: ‘It was difficult for me’
MONEY HEIST’S Denver has been through a lot during the four seasons he has appeared in La Casa De Papel with several highs and lows. As fans anxiously await news of a fifth series, Denver star Jaime Lorente has opened up on his character and the challenges he has faced.
Money Heist’s Denver (played by Jaime Lorente) is much-loved by fans, especially after he fell for hostage Mónica Gaztambide (Esther Acebo) who went on to join the heist gang and become Stockholm. Denver has been on quite the journey since he teamed up with The Professor (Alvor Morte) to rob the Royal Mint with viewers seeing him change from an annoying son to responsible and caring father.
But it has been Denver’s experiences which have shaped him as a person and shown him how to care for those around him.
He lost his father Moscow (Paco Tous) in season two and now his future with Stockholm looks uncertain as she revealed she doesn’t want a violent man around their son Cincinnati.
Speaking about the toughest moment for Denver and for Jaime to shoot, the actor explained: “The most difficult scene for me has to be the one where Moscow, Denver’s father dies in season two because it was an emotional scene.
“It was very painful and it required a lot of mental preparation because of how tough the situation was.”
Despite the scene being “painful” to shoot, Jaime explained the first and second seasons will “always be my favourite”.
He told Identity Magazine: “We had the opportunity to go on trips and travel to many places and countries then.
“And at that time, it was the start of the big recognition the show was getting.”
Referencing Denver and Stockholm’s relationship and what is in store for them, he continued: “Season four is all about exploring the internal emotional situation for all the characters in regards to everything they have gone and are still going through.
“As for Denver, saving his relationship [with Monica] takes a big chunk of his thoughts throughout this specific season.
“Especially whether or not the relationship is going to survive whatever this crucial heist brings this time.”
It comes after Stockholm star Esther hinted her character could decide to leave Denver and run off with Cincinnati after the Bank of Spain heist.
All Stockholm wants is a loving partner and father for her son and she’s been turned off by Denver’s violent and jealous behaviour in recent series.
