“Parachuting is my escape valve”, says Sara Vidal –

Sara Vidal is a name that has been drawing attention recently. At the age of 21, the actress and model is present on TV Globo’s programming for the second time as Rosinha in the soap opera “Mar do Sertão”.

Sara started modeling at age 16, in a career already full of challenges, after all, at 1.65 m tall, she was considered short by fashion standards. This, however, was not a problem for her, who continued to pursue her dreams and, in 2017, began to study acting and theater and built her own path on television.

The top model and actress tells about her trajectory, talks about her relationship with her body and, most curiously, about her passion for skydiving – she has jumped with a parachute more than 65 times and started because – believe it or not – I wanted to overcome my fear of heights!

See the chat in full below:

Sara, you started your career quite young as a model… how was that process for you?

I moved from Rio to São Paulo because of my career, so it was a very difficult maturation process, especially being away from my family, but it was a very important moment that brought me more independence and helped me in my professional growth.

Did this beginning in fashion change or shape your relationship with your body in any way? As?

When I moved to São Paulo to be a model, I created a healthier routine, such as: working out, eating better and taking care of my skin. All this, together with the sports I practice, brought me greater body awareness, which super helped my self-confidence and, consequently, my work.

And how did the desire to act come about?

A: Since I was a little girl, I watched soap operas and imitated them (laughs!), I really wanted to do that, I even closed my eyes and could imagine myself acting, I kept daydreaming.

How has it been to participate in the telenovela “Mar do Sertão”?

It’s been a wonderful experience, totally different. Rosinha brought me something challenging, which is the accent, I’m having to do a lot of prosody to do the northeastern accent that I love and admire so much.

Changing the subject a little… what do you consider well-being today?

Being aware brings me well-being, and of course, being in contact with nature and animals is also directly related to my mental health. Skydiving, for example, is my escape valve.

You’ve already jumped with a parachute more than 65 times… what caught your attention in practice and why did you choose it as a hobby?

Freedom… I feel like a free bird (laughs!), but in reality I started because I wanted to overcome my fear of heights.

What other physical activities do you prioritize in your routine?

Running, working out, meditating (sometimes), and now I’m starting to surf.

And when it comes to skincare? What’s not missing in your beauty routine?

WATER! Food, and of course… a good dermatologist.

Finally, how is your relationship with food?

I get along very well with her, I don’t forbid myself anything, but I always try to maintain a balance.
