When she is not working hard on set, Alba loves to detox with her friends and family or spend the weekend reading, singing, or swimming. The actress also loves to take care of her body by leading a healthy lifestyle. It is not a surprise that she has been featured in magazines such as Maxim and Vogue.
Young Alba always wanted to pursue acting as her career. In an interview with Vogue, she said, “I always had the appeal (for movies), but I didn’t know it was what I wanted until I was called for casting in Miami. And I didn’t even know what casting was, how it worked. It was because of Miami that I realized that I love this and wanted to explore, learn, and grow”.
The talented actress received many awards for her early roles, including her role in Simao Cayatte’s short film ‘Miami,’ for which she received the Best Actress Award at the Festival Iberico de Cine. Alba’s sheer determination and dedication made her way to international success as the protagonist in Netflix’s hit series, ‘Warrior Nun.’
