“I found myself in this role”, Marina Ruy Barbosa’s trajectory from actress to successful businesswoman

“Not just a pretty face” — you’ve probably heard that expression before. Used to say that a person has much more to offer than beauty, this could be Marina Ruy Barbosa’s introductory phrase. Most Brazilians are already used to her in front of the small screen, but few know what the actress is like in other aspects of life. Whether in the personal field or in her career, she is an example of dedication.

And, as you already know, the incredible.club loves an inspirational story. Therefore, we decided to tell the story of this talented and enterprising young woman. Who knows, maybe there’s a “Marininha” in her house, ready to be discovered? Check with us.

Marina Ruy Barbosa was born in 1995. And it didn’t take her long to find out what she wanted in life. At the age of 8, she made her first appearance as an actress — in the soap opera Sabor da Paixão. At 9, she got a role in a film by Xuxa and, before the age of 10, the child actress already had a contract signed with Globo for the soap opera Begin de Novo.

In the plot, she was the guardian angel of the protagonist, played by actor Marcos Paulo. In addition to acting with this big name in dramaturgy, she had an extra challenge: her character’s communication was almost entirely without lines. For this, she had to train facial expressions and how to communicate through her eyes.

And it wasn’t just with Marcos Paulo that little Marina had the chance to learn the trade. His second telenovela was a real school during filming. In Belíssima, the actress played with the biggest references on TV. She shared the scene with a star-studded cast, made up of names like Fernanda Montenegro, Tony Ramos, Glória Pires and Cláudia Abreu.

And the young woman knew how to take advantage of these opportunities to absorb knowledge not only in acting. In an interview, she said that, in addition to friendships for life, it was by following the example of renowned actors that she learned how to behave during work, overcome challenges and always seek the greatest concentration: “I was very impressed with those teachers in my front,” he confessed.

If the actor’s career is marked by challenges, Marina can mention a series of them — all faced with seriousness and commitment. Already in her first role, in the film Xuxa e o Terapia da Cidade Perdida, she had to learn to speak Swedish. In Starting Again, as we saw, the little redhead had no lines and had to train her gaze. It’s good to remember that all of this happened while she was a child, starting out in the art world.

In addition, he changed his look and was not concerned with vanity at various times in his career, such as at the beginning of the plot of Totalmente Demais. Later, she took a cooking class and even learned the sporting use of archery for the telenovela Deus Salve o Rei. She was also on the board Dança das Crianças, on Domingão do Faustão and was a presenter on TV Globinho.

In almost 20 years of career, the viewer has seen the little redhead go through adolescence and become a woman in front of the screens. Along with her, the work and the characters gained other nuances. In 2010, for the soap opera Escrito nas Estrelas, Marina appeared with a different look, with dreadlocks, to play the rebellious Vanessa. It was in this plot that she had her first kiss on stage, with actor Bruno Pereira.

Likewise, she had to learn to deal with the exposure of her entire personal life in the press. In interaction with followers on a social network, she assumed that she is no different from women her age. “I have all the same issues as any 25-year-old girl-woman.” But he recognizes that it is a challenge to deal with this publicly.

Along with growing up, came awareness of the fact that being a celebrity could be a force in fighting for the causes you believe in. For this reason, Marina made public her passion for animals and started to support protection initiatives, such as adopting instead of buying a pet, recently shown here on incredible.club🇧🇷

The redhead became the godmother of an animal defense institute and gives voice to the need to be attentive to the care and protection of pets. She, who is a self-confessed lover of cats, also shows ease when taking care of friends of other species. Those who follow her on social networks will always find publications that she makes to help the little animals.

In addition to her work as an actress, the young woman does hundreds of advertising campaigns and is the Brazilian “face” of international brands. With all that, who would have thought that she would still dedicate herself to the business? But yes, after consolidating herself in the artistic scene, she launched her own brand and confesses that she is happy with this new Marina: “I found myself in this role as a businesswoman”.

And business is very good, thank you. So much so that Marina was featured in Forbes magazine. In the article, she explains what she believes to be the reason for the brand’s rapid success: “We are looking to the future and are concerned about the impact of production on the environment. We encourage conscious consumption, with pieces that are not focused on trends.”
