Camila Mendes says she was drawn to 'Música' because it gave representation to the Brazilian American experience. The movie premiered at the SXSW Film and Television Festival this week.
Since booking her breakout role in The CW drama 'Riverdale' in 2017, Camila Mendes has skyrocketed to fame as one the most prominent Brazilian American stars in Hollywood. Yet, despite building on her success with acclaimed projects such as Netflix’s 'Do Revenge' and Hulu’s 'Palm Springs,' the actor says she has yet to receive a single script calling for a Brazilian role.
I can say this now because we’ve talked about it and we have a great relationship, but when I was finishing up high school, my mother moved back to Brazil to live with a guy she was seeing. My parents were divorced and I went to move in with my dad. During that time, I remember having gone through my first heartbreak as a kid and really wishing my mother was there. I remember as a teenager that absence and that feeling of abandonment.
