I am pleased when I compared with Sophia Loren.

In its 26 years Maria Fernanda Candido has already gained a reputation as an excellent model and a great actress. Its shape is almost perfect --85: 65: 94 with growth of 1 meter 76 cm and weighs 60 kilograms. Due to its outstanding appearance Maria Fernanda made a good career as a model, having been on the covers of top fashion magazines, including Brazilian ELLE. Like her character in the telenovela "Terra Nostra" Paula, Maria Fernanda knows about its beauty, but she is not obsessed with their appearance. The process of growing up and the inevitable aging Internal and external aging: it is necessary to think in advance   I perceived it as part of life that is given to us so that we experience the fullness of sensations.

It is considered a very homely person who avoids the status of a "superstar". She charms everyone who deals with it. Men fall in love with her at first sight. Many people call Mary Fernadu Candido new Sophia Loren. Also undeniable resemblance in the two actresses have a special sensual charm that makes men's hearts tremble. The actress admits that remained impressed by filming in the telenovela "Land of Love," which made her famous all over the world.

How would you describe Paolo?

Wonderful, very sincere and very direct woman. Paola is sometimes too emotional and impulsive.

You like her?

I'm much calmer and more reserved.

You are compared with Sophia Loren. How do you like it?

I am delighted! The first person who told me about this similarity was the wife of the writer "Earth Love" Benedito Ruy Barbosa. That is what prompted the authors to consider her candidacy for the role of the heroine in my old age. But Sophia Loren Sophia Loren will always remain. Her beauty and talent to become a legend, with her no one compares. I am very proud of the fact that it can play my character.

What is your relationship with the audience?

I'm a very shy person, and I laugh very hard. I find it easier to communicate with ordinary fans than fans. I do not like to pose a superstar and I do not consider that the crowd outside my window - a just reward for the hard work. Actually, I do not often go out to parties and try to spend more time at home. I love my home, my friends.

What about politics? Are you interested in it?

I am not indifferent to such matters, but I do not think about it too much. I love my country and I, of course, concerned about its future. My dream is that in Brazil there was no illiteracy, and everyone had the opportunity to be proud of himself.

What are you afraid of?

I have a fear that I can not overcome - I'm afraid to fly. As soon as I go into the water, it seems that now there is a shark, and I can not help myself. It's horrible.

What do you like to do when not working?

I stay at home, read or just relax. I like to listen to music, watch movies, play sports, go to the beach, meet friends.

In the series "Land of Love" you've worked with the most famous actors in Brazil. How did they treat you?

I respect the people with whom I worked. They're great actors. But at a time when turning on the camera, they become the same as I - just people who are doing their jobs, overcoming their own fears and desires. We were all one big team. I could feel their talent and generosity of their talent. I was very lucky that I was able to work with such generous and talented people.

It was rumored that the authors specifically made so that the road and Paola Giuliano did not cross, otherwise just eclipsed Paola would heroine Ana Paula Aros.

Nonsense. Anna and I are very good friends. She's a wonderful actress.

What things are priceless to you?

Smile of a Child. I love children and I see them laughing, I just can not budge - smile of a child has magical powers.

Do you dream of marriage, children?

Of course. But now I do not have specific plans in this regard. I concentrated on my career. My dream is to get married, have children, but all the time. Do not force things.
