Taina is a very stubborn person when no one is around
– You’ve lived and worked in several countries/cities, which one is your favourite so far and why?
London, because it’s a massive place, it’s got everything and I never get bored of it. I always discover new things to do.
– You are about to start studying acting. What would be your perfect role and a perfect movie partner?
Perfect role would be acting at my own age and skin, but can’t think of anyone to be my perfect partner. Maybe my own self.

Once I had to do hard poses on a really busy street and I fell over in front of everyone.

A blanket to get warm, a knife to protect myself and get some food, and someone not to be so lonely.
– What makes you happy?
My family, friends and making my dreams come true.

Brazilian women are far crazier in every way than European women.

There aren’t any differences cause men are all the same

Hopefully someone very wise, who’s had a lot fun and knows a lot about life in general with a lot of pugs around.
