Iina Kuustonen will be seen during the Putous Allstars season.
For a good cause
Next autumn, Iina is promised one important project, as she will be seen Waterfall Allstarsseason in one episode. Kuustonen did not hesitate to hear about the job offer when he learned that it was becoming a charity period. In the autumn Falls, a donation pot will be collected for Save the Children, which will help families affected by the corona crisis.
– When I did the Fall, the most significant moments were the last Unicef episodes of the season. It seemed important to be able to do even something to help the children of the world. While of course dentures in the mouth, mixing on a telly is also an important job.

Kuustonen grew up in his childhood home, where caring for others was an obvious part of life, as his father, Mikko Kuustonen, known as a musician, was for a long time an international ambassador of goodwill to the UN. Iina Kuustonen herself started working in development cooperation at the age of 15, when she joined Plan International’s trip to Delhi and Calcutta, India. Today, he is the Unicef Goodwill Ambassador.
– The first trip was an important experience that broadened the worldview. There were children from all over the world, mainly from developing countries. We didn’t have a common language, but we communicated by playing, painting and singing. It was touching to see how small and modest the children’s hopes for life were from our perspective. They dreamed of going to school, or the right to play instead of work.
– It was also comforting to see how simple things can help another so that his life changed decisively for the better. The coronary crisis is now hitting the most vulnerable children hardest and it is our duty to help them.
The fall expanded the field of work
Kuustonen considers it important that new generations can also be raised for charity through the Falls. For him, helping others has become part of the identity.
– In fact, I have been thinking a lot lately that have to live according to their own values in order to be well. If they cannot be implemented, there will be a contradiction in life that will affect well-being as a whole. So charity also brings me well-being, he says.
Kuustonen has many good memories of the Falls, but also important lessons for his career. Live broadcasts and a hectic schedule have taught pressure tolerance.
– In the program, you learned to cope with even the most difficult situations. And it’s part of the nature of the program that doesn’t always work out and that’s exactly what has become the best stuff. I value the fact that the Fall gathers the whole family together by a telly. There are not many such programs.
Kuustonen had a lot of good to do with the fall, as it expanded his field of work and he began to be offered much more diverse roles than before. Has there ever been any harm to him from the waterfall?
– I’ve never thought about it that way, he says.

Minka Kuustonen will also be involved in the upcoming Putous season.
During the Allstars season of the waterfall, Iina’s sister will also be seen, Minka Kuustonen, who starred in the program in 2017. The sisters will be seen in the same episode.
– It’s easy to play with Minka, because I can see what he’s thinking just by looking at it. We fully understand each other and we are laughed at by the same things, i.e. bad jokes.
“I have always been mentally middle-aged”
Kuustonen surprised his friends and fans in February by joining Instagram. In less than a day, the account accumulated more than 6,000 followers and now, four months later, he has more than 14,000 followers. The actor joined there under a little pressure.
– I have never been very interested in social media and I am often frustrated by contentlessness there, so it has been easy for me to opt out, but I have always been mentally middle-aged in our family.
In Instagram, Kuustonen follows inspiring accounts for his hobbies, as well as his friends.
– I found some good craft tips, and I am now just at the heart of the world yarn. This spring, without Instagram, I would also have missed many vital things. Like even Aku Hirviniemi’s quarantine.
