Espenta Grasia, the 'Tiktoker' that compares Spain and the USA

Who has not seen the perfect harmony of the families of American films and series and has thought how unreal it seems?That imposted perfection of a happy family contrasts greatly with the daily life in Spanish houses, and Espesa Grasia reflects it perfectly.

This Tiktoker, with 1.3 million followers on Tiktok and more than 420.000 On Instagram, it has become popular for its hilarious comparisons of both countries and for the entire squad of characters that it has created in its sketches: Juanjo, the neighborhood cool that always carries its motorcycle helmet;Comfort, the irreverent and authoritarian mother of him;Paco, Father Pasota and Football;Jose, Juanjo's best friend;Paqui, mother of Jose;And finally but not least, Ashley, the tender, sweet and perfect American student.

After all of them is the same person, Gema Palacio, a girl from Benaguacil (Valencia) who uses all kinds of elements to be characterized: motorcycle helmet, gown, bun, painted mustache, different clothing and a face filter for the face and the voice.His originality, his humor and the fun and fun way to represent a typical Spanish family has made this 21 -year -old, who studied accounting, earn a hole among the best known humorists of social networks.

Who is Gema Palacio?

Gema Palacio is a girl who has just turned 21, who is shameful, is a normal girl.I studied, worked, stayed with friends.And right now he is a bit freaking out with everything that happened to him.And maybe now Gema is less shame, he dares to do new things, he will become independent...Little by little.

When would I say it was the moment or publication that catapulted her to fame?

All this began with a video of "music classes in the United States versus Spain" that went viral, but already stopped the thing.I kept doing other things.But one day, at the end of January of this year, I came up with another video that was "family meals".I did it and now, but it wasn't until months later - in March - when he resurfaced, that one day when my mobile literally explodes almost exploded.It was very strong.

And currently lives on social networks?

I worked in a supermarket, which I had to leave because this was going too far.And right now I am working for Netflix and I am living on the networks, creating content, making advertising campaigns...

Why did you choose that name on your networks, Espeonta Grasia?

When I created Tiktok's profile I hoped that absolutely nobody would see my videos, except my friends.Then I said: "What name do I wear?".And the announcement of Esperanza Gracia, the woman of the Telecinco horoscope, came.

And you haven't thought about recording a collaboration with her?

I am very attention to know if that woman will say "this fool who has taken my name...".I don't even know if I will know about my existence, but I am superfan of it.Hopefully one day I tell me: "Hello, I know of your existence and all good".

How did you decided to start recording videos by comparing the United States and Spain?

My brother, who is the one who usually helps me with the recordings, and I have always consumed a lot Disney Channel, Neox, and that is flooded with American series and movies...Hannah Montana, two and a half men, Modern Family...And we always caught our attention that the houses were superordinate, that everyone got up well dressed, well combed.We made the pussy of comparing it with how we got up, how my mother rejected us...We poured out the sofas and did as theater miniobras, and my mother got out of laughter.So I think everything started.

So Juanjo, Consuelo and company are his daily life and his family?

Exact.Juanjo I think it is born a little because in my class there was a boy who was very Juanjo.He loved his motorcycle, thus put on the helmet, he went like Chulillo, but in reality he was superbuene.And there was also a Jose -Juanjo's best friend -.And the mother is my mother, although she is not called comfort like her, but I take how it quits us, when she speaks supervid and is not understood because she is supernervious.Everything exists.

And what do she think of being comfort?

I get out of laughter.But now he tells me: "Hey, I'm going to start charging rights".He is freaking out because the people shouts "comfort!".And my mother shits in everything thinking about what I have brought.

Have you ever traveled to the United States?

No, but hopefully soon, because I need it.I plan to record it and publish everything, because I would love to share that with people, if one day passes.

He publishes its content both in Tiktok and Instagram, but which one do you like best?

Right now it is for times, Tiktok a few days show your video a lot, the other does not teach anything.Today penalizes you, tomorrow the video deletes you.And Instagram is becoming very comfortable and I like it a lot, because I didn't have before.The two have their charm and I am grabbing both.They are very different, but you have to understand them.Is that Tiktok has given me everything, and on Instagram right now I am growing a lot and I love it.Because having stories is a tip, because one day I can talk to people, or ask me to ask me questions.On Instagram you may interact more with people.

And which one could say that it is giving more profitability?

They are very different, because Tiktok is the only social network that pays you to create content, which is very good and is a tip.Does not pay barbarity, but it's fine.And Instagram is advertising.Yes, it is true that a content creator can live more on Instagram for the issue of advertising.

So, do you see as something positive this impact?

Well, something like that was waiting for me, and it's very rare, really.I can't say it's bad, because it's a dream.But it makes me uncommon the fact that people speak of me.The other day, walking the dog, on the terrace of a bar they were talking about me and were watching my videos.They said "it's from Valencia", "I love it", "because it doesn't make me funny".And I thought: "They are on a table talking about you...".It seemed strange to me, people talk about you and can give you a button and tell you the first thing to go through your head.It is very cool, but it is also weird.But I can't complain, I'm overwhelmed.

Recently he has started uploading more personal videos, such as Gema Palacio.

Yes.As I do something very closed, I'm afraid to be able to tire people.Then I said: "I'm going to try to be me, to be a gem, turn on the camera and record".I wanted to do it, I had a good time and worked.I interact a lot with my followers and I like it a lot.I would love to make a video of those a week, so as not to tire and show me too.

Will you also bet on this type of content?

Many times they have told me: "We don't want to see Gema, we want to see Juanjo".So, maybe I have to show myself a little to see if people liked people or not.In the end I am not able to make a serious video, I am a picture of person, something always happens to me.But maybe being myself, as I am a circus, showing me normal, it works.

Do messages from people who feel reflected in characters like Consuelo arrive?

Yes, me siguen muchas mamis, y es algo que me parece muy guay.It is true that I receive little, but some comment I receive is "what you do is humor for 50 -year -old ladies".Well, hey, that's Puntazo, because these women are even the crown of life, they have been mothers, they have lived different times.Then making them laugh for me is an honor.

He recently showed some haters comments.Do you receive many criticisms?

Thank God, for now, if there are 100 comments, two are bad.But it is true that something bad that have come to tell me is "denigras to Spain", "criticism of Spanish society" or "I am Spanish and you are offending me".And I say: "Fuck, it's humor, they are characters, they are things that have happened in my house".Not really, we do the first thing that happens to us by the head, things that happen to us at home.

He even has famous fans, right?

That is something that makes me freak.Have the opportunity to exchange messages with neighboring blonde, who I think I owe everything, because that girl, since I shared my on Instagram, I have grown up what I have grown up, I always say it.That Salazar, Eugeni Alemany, Rubentances, Jonan Wiergo, Nagore Robles or Adara, who told me that he has recently discovered me, and is a joy, and is a joy.It makes me an incredible illusion.

Precisely, I would recently survive: After Show, Nagore's program in Mitele Plus.

Yes, ahora no tengo mucho tiempo, pero Nagore es maravillosa, y si algún día me vuelve a invitar no voy a dudar en ir.The truth is that the fact of going to a set and seeing the work behind, I always try to say that everything.

Do you see collaborating in other programs, being an actress or humorist on television?

Is that as I am a gem, that of the town, someone normal, I do not know if I see myself.The perfect for me would be to do theater or act, interpret different roles, both serious and dramatic.I would love to try it.I hope to be comic, but I am not able to make monologues or anything like that.I am that to get on stage and, simply speaking, making everyone laugh, I admire it, and I think I would not be able.And as I would love an actress, I don't know if I see myself, because then I am going to a casting and I say "how bad this is given".But I would love to try it.

Recently his collaboration with Netflix has been announced, was it just a sketch or is there anything else to arrive?

Well, I started writing small scripts for Netflix, to create content on their networks, and people began to ask for a series of Juanjo so much that they said: "We are going to make a miniseries for our Tiktok".An advance came out, and then the chapters come out every Friday.

What future projects do you have?

Well, if God wants, I may have to go outside.I can't say it yet, but I know that I have to go out of Spain for a while, so it will take away a lot of time, I have to organize myself.And right now we are making shows in Barcelona, the Z-Fest, which will be on October 23.It is a show aimed at generation Z, but also thought so that parents who accompany them like.There will be music, magic, monologues...I can't tell 100% what I'm going to do, but something very cool will come out.I'm going to go out and something unexpected will happen.
