Although he was born in the Ukraine, his parents are Russian and on many occasions Ana Layevska He has expressed his love for Mexico, a country he arrived at when he was 9 years old, where he has made his life, raised a family and became one of the most requested youth stars on television. However, the actress still has an earring, and it is that of get to hollywood.
Like Diego Boneta or Eiza González, the actress from The stepmother also would like to get his big break in the movie mecca; He has plenty of talent: from his young age he has been recognized for his ability to give his dramatic interpretations an authenticity that very few people achieve on stage, an immense artistic sensitivity in the domain of the violin (as noted in will we ever have wings) and the piano, and has played both protagonists and antagonists.
What has been missing? She believes that it is her mastery of the English language.
Layevska was one of the most famous young actresses of the 1990s and 2000s with Lovely, Gypsy Love, First love… a thousand an hourfor Televisa, a company where he also participated in the programs Dancing for a Dream y Killer women. And almost at the same time, she got the opportunity to work in film alongside Salma Hayek in the adaptation of Julia Álvarez’s book, In the time of butterflies.
In addition to other Mexican tapes (Tired of kissing frogs, almost divas), also participated in the dubbing of Hamburger rain from Sony Pictures, and the acclaimed cantinflas which starred Óscar Jaenada, but these have been insufficient for the actress’s desire. “There are some things that I would like to achieve, I would like to do more international projects with actors that I admire from Hollywood, I don’t know, work on a project big picture“, he confessed in a recent interview.
With a fluency in Russian, Spanish and English, and, to be honest, a slender, white physique, opportunities shouldn’t be lacking. “I think it’s a combination of several things, the physicality, the fact that I’m not a Native American because I’m finally speaking like roles that are usually played by people who speak perfect English and English is my third language, I mean, I speak it very well, but I am still a person who speaks English, I am not a native speaker (…). Circumstances, luck, chances, I don’t know,” she mused.
But he also recognized that not moving from Mexico to key places like Los Angeles, New York or London may limit his opportunities. “Finally, it’s important to be there,” she said, in addition to the fact that at this stage of her life, with two small children, it is more complicated for her and her family.
“For work, yes (I would move); so trying my luck once more is very complicated, I have a family here in Mexico, I don’t think so, but well, I vote for diversity even for European-Mexicans because I am a mix,” he said between laughs.
But perhaps his dream is not so far away: he has been the protagonist of a successful series on the Netflix platform, Neighbors War (dodging the problems that existed around her in her first season), and has a share in another, Triadwith Maite Perroni.
Layevska has shown on this trip that she knows how to enjoy life, as well as being a hard-working and persevering girl, as she noted in the Barbie Awards 2015 when she was awarded for being an inspiration to girls.
In her acceptance speech, the actress thanked her fans and invited them to continue with their dreams. “Thank you for this recognition, I dedicate it to all the women who are here and who fight for their dreams, because we are strong and we achieve everything we want,” said the winner, whose power, she said, is not to give up and hope that things will be better.
