Based in Los Angeles since 2008, Paz has not forgotten her Spanish roots. The province of Andalucía and the city of Seville have repeatedly recognized her tireless work representing her native region and city throughout the world.

OMTIMES had the opportunity and the pleasure to seat with Paz Vega and have a brief conversation about her life, her role as Paulo Coelho’s muse in the movie: Paulo Coelho’s Best Story; and her future Projects.
OMTIMES: Your debut in Hollywood was in the movie “Spanglish”. How difficult was for you to work without knowing the language?
PAZ VEGA: It was a very challenging moment. I didn’t speak anything of English and the character was very complex. But it was a beautiful experience to work with such an amazing director and such a great cast.
OMTIMES: How would you describe yourself to audiences who only know you from your film appearances?
PAZ VEGA: I don’t know what to say about me. I think other people has to answer this question. Something that I can say is that I love my job and I always do my best in everything I do. I’m very passionate person.
