How do you rate your debut?

I joke saying that no course will give me the learning of practice. I studied theater, but nothing compares to what I’m experiencing now.

Are you recognized on the streets?

They started to recognize me with the soap opera headlines. The other day, at the airport, the attendant passed me by to say “hi, Solzinha, now the soap opera is going to catch fire with Ben and Sol meeting”.

Do you think you look like Sheron Menezzes?

After characterization, I feel like we are similar in some ways. But the energy of the character, I feel like we were able to come to terms.

Sol was the princess of baile funk. Were you connected to that universe?

Ah, funk comes from the cradle (laughs). My mother was a dancer, dancer and she always encouraged us to dance! I also did shows as a dancer in neighboring cities. In 2018, I participated in the Best of the Year of “Domingão”. I was at the ballet!

Did you take a funk class for the soap opera?

I used to go to charme dances as a teenager and that helped, but we had a choreographer to make everything look more like the 2000s.

Are you vain?

As a good Libra, the idea of ​​perfection in everything is ingrained in me (laughs). What I like most, for sure, is my smile and my hair!

Have you worked in other areas before becoming an actress?

Wow, I’ve done a lot in this life. I was a young apprentice in a nuclear industry, party entertainer, make-up artist, dancer, shop assistant, model and now an actress.
