Ximena Duque: "Amor a distancia"

Después de su éxito en la telenovela “La casa de al lado” la actriz Ximena Duque regresa a la pantalla de televisión con un protagónico en la telenovela “Corazón Valiente”, también de la cadena Telemundo.

En este nuevo papel la bella colombiana hace de guardaespaldas de un amor muy especial, bajo el personaje de Samantha Salazar compartiendo los primeros papeles con figuras como José Luis Reséndez, Adriana Fonseca, Fabián Ríos, Jorge Luis Pila, Sonya Smith y Aylin Mujica.

La actriz es la novia del actor puertorriqueño Carlos Ponce, quien en estos momentos se encuentra grabando una novela en México.

Cualquiera dice que un amor a distancia no tiene mucho futuro, pero que no le pregunten a los dos protagonistas de este romance de la vida real, ya que están seguros de que su amor está por encima de todo.

"Ximena Duque" lands her first leading role on Telemundo’s “Corazón Valiente”

Ximena Duque Giraldo stars in Telemundo’s Corazón Valiente as Samantha Sandoval Navarro, a self-defense expert who works as a bodyguard for her love interest’s father. “There are so many emotions when it comes to portraying this character. She has lived so much. I’m used to playing younger characters, but Samantha is a complex woman.”

Even though Ximena assures she is nothing like Samantha, preparing for this role was one of the most challenging and enjoyable experiences, “Playing her is like playing different characters. One minute she is very strong-willed and the other she is very vulnerable. I love that I can have fun with the layering of this character. It’s like being on an emotional rollercoaster.”

The up until recently brunette confessed she changed her hair color as part of her character development process. However, she had already made up her mind about changing her hair color, no matter what role she took on next. “As an actor, you need to offer the public something different. Visually, people already feel you are someone else. I already knew I wanted to change my hair color to blonde for my next role. I arrived at the screen test and they didn’t approve. They wanted me with black hair, but for the first time in my life, they actually did what I wanted and let me keep the light hair.”

However, Ximena’s challenge was not only emotional, it required a lot of physical training as well. “I had to train in martial arts and kickboxing. When we were about to finish production, I was craving to do some action scenes. I didn’t want my double doing all of the fun work! I insisted so much that they finally agreed, but the results were not pretty. I ended up all bruised, but it was worth it. With this character, I’ve discovered so many things I never thought I’d enjoy.”
