Julia Manga, daughter of director Carlos Manga Jr., decided to pursue an artistic career and follow in her father's footsteps. Graduated from Casa das Artes de Laranjeiras (CAL), the 23-year-old actress does not deny that growing up in a family connected to art influenced her professional choice.
Julia acknowledges that being close to the artistic universe since childhood was decisive in her trajectory. She says she grew up surrounded by references that many people do not have access to at such a young age, which made art something natural in her life.
However, the actress says she tried to escape this path during adolescence, a period when she was rebellious and did not want to be like everyone else. She had been doing theater since she was little, but during that phase she resisted following an artistic career.
Julia wants to write her own story, despite the strong family influence. She also mentions her relationship with her brother Diogo Novaes, although the article does not provide more details about this dynamic between the siblings.
