Ariadna Gil Biography

Adriana Gil was born into the famous family of August Gil Matamala in January 1969 in Barcelona, Spain. It was also here that she was brought up together with her two brothers.

Her interest in acting and the arts in general, began since she was a little girl. Because of this, she studied the violin, dancing, and acting, something she would later build her life around. However, the first time she sold herself was not for an acting role, but rather for an appearance on the cover of a Catalonian magazine at the age of 17.

As an actress, she began like many others, in her local theatre where she gained the fame that propelled her to starting on local TV where she got the attention of the late Spanish film director, Bigas Luna. This led to her first film role as Juan José Bigas Luna in Lola (1986).

From then on, she has come to appear in many more films including Amo tu cama rica (1991) which got her the Ondas Awards, Belle Époque (1992) with which she won the Goya Awards and Malena es un nombre de Tango (1996) with which she won the Butaca Awards and also the Verona Love Screens Film Festival. Her most recent films are L’altra Frontera (2014), Living Is Easy with Eyes Closed (2013), and Sola Contigo (2013).

Although the romance caused controversy because she was still married and had two children for David Trueba, Giner was not ready to look back and so she divorced the popular director to settle down with her new found love, Mortensen. On his part, Viggo was also once married to American singer and poet Exene Cervenka. He married her in 1987, but it came to an end in 1998; they had a son together.

More than a decade since the relationship began, Ariadna Gil and Mortensen are still not married.
