So just how wild were you? Didi you do tons of drugs and party all night? They think, 'What can I do now to keep the same lifestyle and be the center of attention?' And that's not the right reason for going into acting. And most models get into acting mainly because of ego. I actually thought it was very superficial, as my parents are teachers and I grew up in that sort of environment. It was this little town, and I thought, 'If I can bring home $30 a month, that'll pay for water for the whole building. Is it true you grew up with no running water?Ĭompletely. For me it was more like a modelling job because I had to put on all this special body makeup that took 13 hours to do. And when I came back, I kept modelling, but after 2 or 3 years I realized acting was what I wanted to do, and then when I did my little part in the first 'Mummy' I had no idea it'd be such a huge hit everywhere. ' So I went to the Amazon for 3 months and it completely changed me. That film was all about saving an Indian village in the Amazon, and because I'm a South American Indian and I have a foundation for the Indians, I thought, 'I have to do this. But then I did my first one with Jean Reno and completely fell in love with it.
I began dancing when I was just 5, and I never really wanted to become an actress because it's what every other model does. How did you start modelling and then acting? Always work hard, be honest, and be proud of who you are. My spirituality and sense of work, along with family values.ĭefinitely my desire for knowledge and love of reading, and his sense of honesty. My mother is Indian from a village called Wayu, and my Dad is Venezuelan, and he's a mix of Indian and Spanish. The food was so good this friend of mine would go there just to eat! They have amazing room service, newspapers and magazines in the morning - I have never seen anything like it. (Laughs) You can't stay anywhere else after that place! It's like a super 6-star hospital where the Queen goes. Supposedly there was this cyst that grew in the last 2 months we were training, and then rightĪfter we did the fight the cyst burst, and I ended up in The Courtland in London. It was weird, and they don't know this, but I've been to the doctor 3 times and they've been checking my heart because I pushed it so much. I actually ended up in hospital for 3 days, I was so tired. (Shows her hands) See, I'm still covered in little scars! At the start we were both a bit shy about hurting each other, but by the end we were really going for it. I used to be a dancer, and for me it was a really good combination of dance and acting.
We both trained for 3 months, sometimes 7 or 8 hours a day, and I did all my own stunts - including the jumps and the splits - except one. The training we did was insane, boxing with martial arts. The hardest thing I had to do in the whole film was the big fight scene I have with Rachel.
You and Rachel have this amazing catfight. It was great, but for me it's really a love story. Yeah, it's a much bigger role, as I also play Meela, the modern reincarnation of my Egyptian character. You must be thrilled as you get a much bigger role in the sequel?
#THE MUMMY RETURNS MOVIE CLIP ANCK SU NEFERTITI SKIN#
Here, Velasquez, who's wearing a tan and white leather jacket over skin tight black jeans that show off her exotic looks and figure to perfection, talks candidlyĪbout her on-screen catfight with Rachel and subsequent health scare, growing up poor in an apartment with no running water, and the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle of a supermodel. In person, she's tall and curvaceous, with long brown hair and skin the color of honey. It's easy to see why the 29-year-old Latina beauty got the role. ' The sequel also reunites the original characters of Imhotep, played by Arnold Vosloo, and Anck-Su-Namun, his sexy lover played by Venezuelan modelling superstar Patricia Velasquez. Now, the legacy of a 3,000 year-old curse has returned to threaten nosey antiquarians Rick and Evelyn O'Connell ( Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz) and assorted villains and adventurers - along with box office records, in the shape of ' Mummy Returns, The (2001). Two years ago, ' Mummy, The (1999)' became a surprise global blockbuster, eventually earning over $415 million.
