At the end of January, after an almost two-month break, an extremely successful daily family program returned to the screens of TV Markíza The Promise series. With the new year, new faces appeared in it, including Marek Kramár (17), son of Maroš Kramár (66), who plays the character of young tennis hopeful Matej Gregor. For the popular actor, he revealed how he cooperates with his son.
“It is very pleasant for both of us that we spend time working together. Since Marko lives elsewhere and we no longer live in the same household, we have had fewer opportunities to spend time together. Now that has changed. It’s great to watch him at work and see how he fits in with the amount of text he gets.” said Maroš Kramár, adding that he tries not to overdo it with shifting, although he would also like to intervene here and there.
He also realizes that it is difficult with his own children. “They can be advised by any stranger and they will listen to him with their mouths open, but when a parent starts giving advice, they immediately take it as ‘buzzing’. Fortunately, Mark and I have a very good, open relationship. I always tell him: ‘Marko, don’t take it the wrong way, it’s not criticism, it’s just advice from practice.’ I don’t want him to do exactly what I tell him, rather I give him a hint of a direction he could go. But he’s smart,” he explained.
The teenager has appeared in front of the camera in the past, but withdrew for a while. He completed an exchange stay in Denmark, where he improved his foreign language and, according to his father, returned more mature and with a completely different view of the world. Kramár also admitted that he had no idea that he was at the casting.
“When the production people told me: ‘Listen, your son is here and he’s grown up so much. We almost didn’t recognize him.’ He doesn’t talk about it much at home, because he will be eighteen in May. He handles some things himself. He enjoys acting, but he is not the type who has a morbid ambition to be an actor at any cost.” he added.
Kramár would be very happy if any of the children continued in his footsteps, but he honestly said that if Marko applied to VŠMU, he would be surprised. “When we talk about the future together, he usually says that he does not want to go in this direction professionally. Gaming is not what he wants to do for a living. Of course, if he decided to do so, I would not prevent him. But our profession is often about luck, and that tends to be extremely fickle,” he added.
In the end, he thought that According to him, children with a well-known surname have it paradoxically more difficult, because they are constantly under scrutiny, people look down on them and wait for every mistake. “First of all, I tried to raise them to be decent people. I always told them that they have to be careful how they behave in public. It is true that they may have had a stricter upbringing in this regard, but I think it was worth it,” he finished.
