Interviewing actress Lyubomira Hristova



1-. How was your childhood?
My childhood was pretty normal. I grew up in Sofia, Bulgaria where I was born and it was filled with joy and games. I have a younger brother and I had lots of friends growing up. Even though my parents split up when I was 14 and we went through a lot I can honestly say that I had a nice childhood.
2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had theskills to go on TV?
It may sound cheesy but I knew I wanted to be an actress since I was a child. When I graduated high school I was heavily influenced by the stereotypes in Bulgaria that acting is not a serious profession and so I decided to study psychology. However the day I graduated university I decided that I don’t want to work in psychology and I signed up for acting classes. The first drama scene that I did that I screamed and cried my soul out I got by this huge rush and adrenaline and I just understood in that moment that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
3. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actress?
My father was quite skeptical but he saw that I am very committed and started supporting me. My mother has also said to me : “this is your life, do whatever makes you happy”. And my biggest supporter is actually my brother.
4. - What was your first appearance on the screens?
My first appearance was in a tv series in a Bulgarian television and it was in one episode and I hade maybe two or three lines but I was so excited and so proud of myself. It felt like a huge deal at the time.
5. - What was the role you liked the most?
Even though I have mainly done drama and thriller scenes during my 5 years of studying cinema acting, all the time people told me to try comedy because they find me very funny and I was kind of sceptical until I had a lead role in short comedy movie and I completely loved it. I loved the character, the plot, the whole process went very smoothly and I enjoyed myself a lot in this role.
6.- What do you think led you to fame?
I truly cannot say that I am famous in my country and in the acting industry. However fame was never a goal for me or a priority. I am just irreversibly in love with cinema as an art and I want to spend my life doing it. I don’t care for fame.
7-. What types of characters you would like to interpret?
I would really like to explore all kinds of genres and characters. Maybe I would really like to play a historical character so I can dive into someone else’s life and experience it.
8-. What actresses and actors do you feel comfortable working with?
I love working with people who take their roles seriously but not seriously enough to not have fun on set and enjoy the process.
9-. In what other genres of art would you like to participate? (Works of theater, music,among others)
If I could wish for one thing it would be to be able to sing. Even though I took singing lessons for two years I am still not good at it (at least I worked a lot on my voice and it helped me with acting).
I think I would like to try theatre at some point in my career even though it seems way different than cinema acting but it would be a good experience and you never know what might turn out.
10.- Do you have any anecdotes that have marked you in your life and as a person?
I cannot think of any.
11.- What has been your greatest achievement?
I haven’t had a great achievement so far. I have had small achievements like graduating from university and I even consider achievements all the roles that I have played. My greatest achievements are on their way.
12.- What projects will you make next and which ones do you have in mind?
I am currently shooting a movie here in Bulgaria and have a lot of castings. I have a few ideas for scripts that I would love to write and eventually shoot.
13.- Would you like to make a movie in Spain?
Of course. Why not? I love Spain and would be proud to be a part of a Spanish movie.
14.- you like spanish cinema?
I have seen some Spanish movies that I liked. One of my favourite tv series is Money Heist that I have seen maybe at least twice.

1-. How was your childhood? Coming from a musically inclined family, from an early age I knew I was passionate about music and the arts. My childhood was really defined by my creativity. I spent countless hours singing, diving into books, and writing my own short stories in the sanctuary of my room. Those were the activities that brought me joy and helped shape who I am today. 2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? When I was around five years old, my mother took me into a local music store one day, and while we were there, I saw a voice lesson in progress. It looked like so much fun to me and they were singing songs that I loved. My mother told me that I wouldn’t stop talking about the music store or the voice lesson for weeks. My parents saw how passionate I was about pursuing singing so they decided to get me lessons and I haven’t stopped singing since. My dedication to the craft of music, became the foun

1-. How was your childhood? My childhood was a whole journey on its own. A big rollercoaster with big highs and very low lows. When I was born I used to live with my mum, my grandparents, my aunt, and my uncle. And honestly, it was the best period of my childhood. I have fond memories that helped me build amazing relationships with my family. I was the only great-grandchild who met my great-grandmother and I love to be that one. Amazing warm Christmases, laughs and karaoke, playing in the backyard, enriching myself with our backgrounds. Everything we did seemed like a long-lasting warm hug. But you see I was born an actress, I just didn’t know what I was doing. I would spend hours and hours creating incredible worlds. I would save Antarctica, come back from the 18th hundreds, have 10 children, and need to save them from chaos or a princess who saved herself. I would memorize my favourite movies, go through my wardrobe to get matching outfits, and recreate whole movies

1-. How was your childhood? I grew up in a big city in Brazil, São Paulo, I was always surrounded by friends, family and many cousins. Sundays we’d go to my grandparents house and have delicious homemade food.   2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had theskills to go on TV? I was 5 year old only when I’d dress up bed sheets and act in the backyard of my house. It’s funny because I always would speak a different language, almost as if I knew that one day I’d be an actor in Los Angeles. Acting has been always my passion. I graduated in acting school with 22 years old.   3. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actress? No!!! They’d say acting was a hobby, it’s so sad that so many parents had that mentality in the old days… so I graduated also in Marketing and worked in Ad Agencies to make a living.    4. - What was your first appearance on the screens? I acted mostly in plays (theater) at first and after movin
