Who Is Bruna Marquezine?
Born in 1995, Marquezine started acting at an early age, including in commercials and on TV Globo’s children’s program Gente Inocente.
“I know it’s kind of weird to think that a 5-year-old would know that she wanted to act. But that’s how I felt at the time,” she recalled to ELLE in 2023. “I loved that I had responsibilities and would often be treated as a professional, as an adult.”
Marquezine went on to star in several telenovelas on the Brazilian network, including Mulheres Apaixonadas, América, Cobras & Lagartos, Desejo Proibido, Em Família, I Love Paraisópolis and Deus Salve o Rei. But after nearly two decades with TV Globo, she and the media company parted ways.
“Of course, I didn’t want to hurt my relationship with Globo either,” Marquezine noted in her 2023 interview with Flaunt. “They’re family, but I needed to grow. I needed to be in charge and do more for myself, like being able to study or to go on vacation.”
As she recalled to the outlet, she then auditioned for the 2023 movie The Flash. While the part ultimately went to Sasha Calle, Marquezine still caught the attention of DC filmmakers and ended up landing the role of Jenny Kord in Blue Beetle that was released later that year.
In addition to acting—with other credits including Ophelia’s Death, Velhos Bandidos and Maldivas—Marquezine is a model. And while she often appears in front of the camera, she’s worked behind too—pulling triple duty as a co-producer, co-director and star of Amor da Minha Vida.
