A few hours before the premiere in Madrid, Omnes had the opportunity to talk to Vanessa Benavente, the actress who plays the Virgin Mary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vanessa Benavente was born in Peru but now lives in the United States with her family. She has been in the film industry for years, which allows her to state that \"as an actor, if you are willing to listen, every role has something to teach you.\" However, playing the Mother of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/en\/news\/jesus-of-nazareth-and-history-the-three-quests\/\">Jesus <\/a>is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"I find Maria very inspiring,\" says Vanessa. She sees in her \"a person with a wonderful strength, determined, full of love, lacking in judgment and who embodies that idea that we all deserve love.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The actress says that she cannot help but learn from her character and what she observes \"I take it back to me, to my home\". Vanessa has two daughters and, inspired by Mar\u00eda, she seeks to transmit something essential to her daughters: \"They can make mistakes five hundred times, we, as their parents, will continue to love them. But we don't love them because they do things right, but because they are them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mother of Jesus represents this perfectly and Benavente highlights in particular: \"a scene in which Mary Magdalene returns to the camp after relapsing into 'her past wanderings'. Mary Mother grabs her handkerchief and puts it on as if to restore her dignity, to signal that she is accepted again and can move on.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With all these reasons, Vanessa Benavente states: \"I want to be a mother like Mary, who creates safe places where others can get back on their feet.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El 10 de abril se estrena en los cines de Espa\u00f1a la quinta temporada de \u201cThe Chosen\u201d, la serie de \u00e9xito sobre la vida de Jes\u00fas y sus seguidores.
