Worst Money Heist Scene

Remember in Season 3 when the professor looks at his GPS and declares, “We’ve passed international seas,” and everyone rejoices? The actors, on the other hand, did not rejoice since they were traveling in strong waves off the coast of Thailand, and the crew was obliged to stay in winter clothes under the blazing heat (via Express).

Miguel Herrán, who plays for Rio, was the most severely afflicted, suffering from heatstroke. The rest of them were vomiting, but they managed to maintain a cheerful demeanor long enough for the scenario to be shown on the screens. Corberó stated that she was not feeling well by the time they arrived onshore.

Traits of Activism

Corberó, like Tokyo, is an activist who utilizes her massive social media following rather than firearms to fight for women’s rights. She is a staunch feminist who admits that feminists must be radical at times in order to overcome the centuries of oppression that women have endured and continue to confront. Her mother and elder sister were also victims of gender prejudice, which explains her decision to become an activist.

Her mother is her greatest motivation since she was forced to leave out of school when she became pregnant with Monica (Ursula’s elder sister) when she was only 17 years old. Her mother was bullied in the community and at school because she was seen as a negative role model for other females.

She rapidly grew out of it and learned to be responsible as additional duties were assigned to her, resulting in the responsible and social Ursula Corberó that everyone knows and loves today.

Never Liked Wearing Red Jumpsuits

There have been numerous essential staples throughout Money Heist’s five seasons. Fans would agree, however, that the most famous item was the heist members’ crimson jumpsuits and masks. The red jumpsuits and Salvador Dal masks were designed by Carlos Diez to depict the themes of revolt and revolution. The characters in the show were seldom seen without them because they were always worn throughout their operations.

While the actors enjoyed the symbolism, it appears that Corberó was one of the few who despised them (according to Collider). “I got tired of wearing the red jumpsuit,” she explained. “I needed to put together a great outfit.” Since they did have several days where they had to do long shoots, they likely got more uncomfortable as the day went on.
