Who is Alice Braga? Wiki Bio

Alice Braga Moraes was born in Sao Paulo City, Brazil, on 15 April 1983, so under the zodiac sign of Aries and holding Brazilian nationality – she is popular for her acting career, especially for playing Angelica in the “City of God” crime movie shot in 2002.

Education and early years

Alice spent her entire childhood in Sao Paulo City in her Catholic family – not a lot is known about her parents as she doesn’t talk about them in public. Her sister, Rita Moraes has also tried her luck in acting, but hasn’t been as successful as Alice, who has acting in her blood, as both her mother Ana and her aunt Sonia are actresses, while her father Ninho F. Moraes is a Brazilian TV director.

They would go together to movie sets and take Alice with them, which is how she fell in love with acting at a very early age. She first appeared in a commercial for a yogurt when she was only eight years old – the director was her father’s friend.

She continued taking acting classes during high school, and after she matriculated, enrolled at college while simultaneously working on her career of an actress.

Career of an actress

Alice launched her career with a role in the short movie entitled “Trampolim” in 1998. The shooting of the Portuguese movie was finished quite quickly, and Alice went back to school and didn’t have another role for four years – her following role of Angelica in the “City of God” movie shot in 2002 is what made her popular and recognized in the movie industry.

Alice then became a somewhat sought-after actress in Brazil, and went on to appear in numerous movies over the years, with the most notable ones being “Lower City” shot in 2005 and “Only God Knows” in 2006. Her first appearance in an English-language movie was in “Journey to the End of Night” in 2006, and she was then cast to act alongside Will Smith in the “I am Legend” blockbuster movie in 2007, followed by “Redbelt” in 2008, and “Crossing Over” in 2009.

She is a big lover of animals and has a pet dog whom she took in from a shelter.
