>> You got such a cool scene.
How was it working with those
guys?
>> I'm watching the scene and
I'm like is that really me.
>> You're fan of Will Smith.
>> Of course I was a fan of will
Smith.
I was a fan of martin too.
I grew up watching the fresh
prince of Bel Air and martin.
I like to tale a story.
Saved by the bell.
Seinfeld.
Saturday night live.
Fresh prince.
That was part of my upbringing.
>> Now you're working with them.
>> How did this -- how did you
get into the business?
Were your parents involved?
>> No, no.
I watched a lot of TV when I was
growing up.
I loved to like play characters.
I was super shy, an introvert.
I found myself just comfortable
like playing characters.
I felt that I could just hide
myself behind like another
character.
I express what I was feeling and
I felt comfortable and I felt
safe.
When I was 19 I moved to Mexico
City and then I started doing
soaps in Mexico.
Telenovellas.
Then I did movies and theater.
I have to say I wanted to come
to L.A. Since I was a kid.
I was terrified of L.A.
Just the idea of competing with
the rest of the world.
I never thought I had what it
takes to be an actor here in
L.A.
>> You do.
Killing it along side some of
the best that do it.
You're here in L.A.
You just bought a house.
>> I did.
>> Congratulations.
>> There is something about
buying a house in Los Angeles.
Mario Lopez can tell you.
As soon as you get the big crib,
you can't get people out of the
house.
>> I just call the cops and say
the cops are here.
Who called the cops?
That's the movie.
>> You called them.
>> I didn't know this, but yeah.
My best friend came out a couple
of days ago.
He was like you're the best
host.
I'm like, no.
I don't like hosting.
You're always hosting.
I said no you're always here.
It doesn't mean I love to host.
My friends, maybe he's still
there.
Get out of my house.
>> Get out of her house.
She just got it.
>> Is it true growing up you
didn't want a quincinera.
>> I was an introvert.
I was a shy little girl
uncomfortable in my own skin.
I didn't want the attention.
I still don't.
It's weird.
>> So funny and yet you're in
the entertainment business.
>> In about to be one of the
biggest movies.
>> You better work on that.
>> Like I said, Rita, the
character I'm playing many bad
boys, she's such an amazing
incredible.
>> Look at that.
That's basic gun.
>> She's amazing.
>> Are you a love interest in
this?
>> Yes.
Yes.
My character she's -- the
incredible thing about Rita
she's a former girlfriend of
Mike Lowry but she's not only
that.
She's also an incredible,
success woman.
>> I wondered what that would be
like to be fan of Will Smith for
so long and then to be a love
interest.
>> When I got this audition I
was like they're not going to
pick me.
>> And then they did.
>> There you go.
>> Boom, baby.
>> Congratulations.
