With success, the first problems arrived but also the important social commitment. Shortly after her debut in the world of fashion and cinema, the actress and model declared that she suffered from anorexia due to frequent media pressures. After recovering from it, she took care of raising awareness about eating disorders among young people. Her social commitment continued in 2015 when she joined the Self-Evident Truths project to support the LGBTQ + community when she talked about being sexually fluid.

CAREER AS AN ACTRESS

“I wanted to become a singer, but then I acted and I found it so suitable for me that now all I want is to act.”
