-
At 22 years old and with little experience as an actress, Gabriela Medeiros won one of the most important roles in “Renascer”. Keeping an eye on the TV and Buba, the public is asking themselves: after all, who is this girl? EXTRA lists some secrets of the interpreter of the intriguing character on the nine o’clock soap opera.
Gabriela, also called Gabi by her friends, had a simple childhood in São Paulo, where she was born. During that time, he had a very close relationship with his grandmother Marinalva, who worked on the farm, and who was honored by her on social media.

His experience in theater began early, at 13 years old. At 18, she began her transition process. Until then, the family saw her as a boy. “I would also tell this child not to cry anymore when they cut his hair, that eventually it will grow; I would tell him not to shrink his body because he is ashamed of being who he is”, wrote the actress about this period.

She wanted to be a ballerina, but her family prevented her from taking ballet classes. When making her first magazine cover, she somewhat fulfilled her old wish, posing in a tutu.
Ballet, in fact, was an inspiration when composing Buba: “I immediately focused on the archetype of the ballerina, the character’s movements, her gaze, posture, etc. She floats a lot, her element is air.”

During the transition period, Gabriela left theater classes aside and went to study Psychology.
Before becoming Buba in the soap opera, she worked in the financial market, as a programming assistant for banking systems. “I decided to give up everything to make a living from art, Buba has already changed my life”, she says.
Gabriela Medeiros is also a photographer, painter and writes poetry. She has shown some of these other talents on her Instagram profile.

Gabriela counts Vivien Leigh as one of her biggest inspirations. The British actress, who died in 1967, played two iconic cinema characters, for which she won two Oscar statuettes: Scarlett O’Hara, from “Gone with the Wind”, and Blanche DuBois, from “A Streetcar Named Desire”.
