Who is Mina Serrrano, the Spanish artist who will play Cris Miró
Born in Granada, the 27-year-old artist has an extensive career as a model and performer, but prefers to define herself, like Cris, as a vedette, because it encompasses everything she does.
She studied drama in Madrid and in a conversation with Shangay magazine she was able to reveal that she had a difficult adolescence: “I suffered bullying that was more similar to mobbing: they ignored me in high school. They saw me as so strange that no one talked to me. It wasn’t just because I ‘had a pen’ or they saw me as feminine, I was also a gothic, but in my way I didn’t even fit in with the goths. My tastes were strange for them, they considered that I spoke strange… There were so many things that they didn’t even know. where to attack me, so they simply displaced me and pretended I didn’t exist.
She also said that her family always accepted her and that she went through “many phases” that led her to be in all the LGBT lyrics. “As soon as I arrived in Madrid, I explored non-binary and non-conforming gender; I discovered the spectrum of transness and began to transition. Two years ago I already considered myself trans, although I did not look as feminine as I do now,” she said some time ago. .

However, she clarifies that she does not need to “define herself”, even though socially she prefers to be treated as feminine or neuter.
“It is uncomfortable to have to constantly come out of the closet, but at the same time I am from the generation that has come with gender fluid and non-binaryism incorporated. Furthermore, the environment in which I move and work is very aware of that,” he said. in 2021.
He also revealed that he liked the audiovisual and performative, something that was restricted in his career. As a model, at the beginning they wanted to see “an androgynous, but masculine boy”, something that she decided to change, which led her to begin to modify herself.
