The Mexican actress Camila Sodi, who in the new series “False identity” gets into the skin of a brave and very suffering mother who is the victim of male abuse, said in an interview with Efe that motherhood is something of “much instinct” and “very animal”.
“I think that any mom can tell you, the first and the last are your children, there’s nothing you would not do for them, it’s a bit like animal, having children is that: it’s a lot of instinct, it’s very animal,” she said. the actress (Mexico City, 1986).

After a 2017 in which she stood out on the big screen with films like “Camino a Marte” or “Cómo cortado a tu patán”, the artist has turned this year in her television career, a medium in which she has been able to form part of the huge and surprising phenomenon of “Luis Miguel, the series”.
“A ‘boom.’ Never in my life had it happened that I came to my friend’s house and grandma stopped (stood up) from her room and came to tell me she was very excited, what was going to happen,” she commented with a smile.
