Quim Gutierrez

Born in Barcelona, ​​on March 27, 1981, Joaquim Gutiérrez Ylla is the son of two teachers, since his father teaches Animal Physiology at the UB University, and his mother works as a teacher. But he started following his own path, as an actor, very early on. At the age of 12, he already had a fixed role in Poblenou , a TV3 series, which was broadcast throughout the national territory by Antena 3 as Los mejores años .

He left acting temporarily to dedicate himself fully to a degree in Humanities, from the Pompeu Fabra University. After receiving acting training at the Nancy Tuñón Theater School, Quim Gutiérrez was chosen to be part of the series El cor de la ciutat , for which he worked for five years. He also did a brilliant job as a young man who progressively loses his vision in Without You , by Raimon Masllorens , together with Ana Fernández .

But Quim Gutiérrez didn’t really make a splash until 2006, as the protagonist of Azul oscuro casi negro , Daniel Sánchez Arévalo ‘s debut feature . He played a 20-something business graduate who worked as a janitor to support his father. He won the Goya for Best New Actor at a ceremony in which the film triumphed in the same way in the categories of new director and supporting actor ( Antonio de la Torre ).

Since then, he has formed a kind of inseparable clan with Sánchez Arévalo and the actors De la Torre and Raúl Arévalo . He has re-teamed with them in Cousins , where he plays Diego, planted at the altar doors by his girlfriend. He also had one of the most prominent roles in La gran familia española , where he became Caleb, a surgeon who attends his brother’s wedding, some time after having left everything to go to practice in refugee camps in Africa. . “Perhaps it is a process that you only assimilate after 30 years, but the family is almost the only possible place in which you are neither a winner nor a loser”, commented the actor regarding the central theme of the film.

José Luis Garci also chose him as the main actor , who in Sangre de mayo turned him into Gabriel Araceli (the director borrowed the protagonist from “Los episodios nacionales”), a modest worker in a printing press who struggles to be together with his beloved Inés ( Paula Echevarría ), at the dawn of the entry of Napoleonic troops into Spain. His character from Los últimos días , a science fiction thriller by the Pastor brothers who deserved better luck, was also trying to reunite with his girlfriend, where an epidemic causes humans to take an insurmountable fear of going outside.

Perhaps the young actor feels more comfortable in comedy, since he stars in two clear samples of the genre, which almost coincide on the billboard. In Tres bodas de más , by Javier Ruiz Caldera ( Ghost Promotion ) he plays another guest at the weddings attended by the protagonist ( Inma Cuesta ), a surgeon who postulates as her new love. In Who Killed Bambi? , by Santi Amodeo , plays David, a young man who with a friend has to find a way to free his boss, and also the father of his girlfriend, who has been locked in the trunk.

Quim Gutiérrez defines himself “as a flexible person”, according to his statements. “It is very important for an actor to be one in the physical sense but, above all, mentally. It is exhausting that he is forced to be on the right or on the left, white or black, when in flexibility you find yourself much more comfortable, you think more, you read better and, above all, you abandon transcendence”.

The media of the heart do not stop looking for alleged relationships, the last one with the actress Marta Etura , taking advantage of the fact that she has broken her relationship with Luis Tosar , and that after Azul oscuro almost black she returns to work with Gutiérrez in Sexo fácil, películas tristes . But he has denied that there is anything more than a healthy camaraderie between the two. “We work very well together. We know each other very well, and we see acting in the same way, so it’s very easy to see ourselves together many times together talking about whatever, about life and work.” And since he foresees that by denying any courtship he will rush to think that he is homosexual, he has also denied this point. “When I say no, they tell me that they thought it was,” he explained.

Currently, the actor is preparing to take on the challenge of becoming Anacleto himself, a secret agent , in the film adaptation of the adventures of the mythical comic book character. Fernando Navarro ( Pelotas ) writes the script for the film, where he will once again be under the orders of the aforementioned Javier Ruiz Caldera .
